I bet that struck a nerve
In Your Opinion~Who are Overrated Characters?
-
I bet that struck a nerve
-
yeah…..
actually thinking about it people liked Saisaichi for some reason that I never understood (most annoying voice EVER)
-
I thought about making an "underrated characters" thread in response, but I didn't feel like it.
At any rate, every G Gundam character would rank on there in my opinion.
-
Robin is beyond overrated.
Pretty much. oh wait boobs
Also Neji Hyuga, Hitsugaya and Haruhi Suzumiya.
-
Oh yeah Neji, I forgot that douche. "Hey this guy victimizes an insecure preteen girl! That's so badass and manly I think I'm a fan!"
-
Shino(!!!), Rock Lee, Guy, Gaara, Hinata, Kakashi, Yamato, Itachi, Kisame, Deidara, Akatsuki leader.
Crocodile, Donquixote Doflamingo, Brooke, Lucci, Robin.
Hitsugaya(!!!!!!), Gin, Ichigo, Rukia, Chad, Renji, Byakuya.
Inuyasha, Shippo, Miroku, Sesshomaru, Naraku. (about all the Inuyasha characters I can name)
L, Near.
Cloud(!!), Sephiroth(!!).
I can't think of much more right now. But most of them are either characters that have had very minor appearance and for some reason are raved over or are just plain overrated. I left out Sasuke because I don't see how you can consider a character overrated when about 90% of the Internet hates him.
-
Here's a fun one:
Every character in Death Note.
Well, I suppose Ryuk can be exempt from that.
-
Gundam Seed also comes to mind…
-
yeah and Destiny
hell alot of the Gundam series were made of lots of fail characters (except 1)
-
Robin is beyond overrated.
It maybe that she is overated, but by far she is one of if not THE sexiest character on One Piece. Seriously anybody part can be replicated, does anyone not find this kinky?
-
I find it disturbing. I bet if you piss her off, she just unveils a face full of random orifices.

Gaara. A blood-thirsty monster who kills a lot. Same old thing with nothing different, yet he became popular. Goes to show you people will love anything if it's "badass", even if it's some boring generic character.
Vegeta. Lame, lame, lame. Arrogant I-gotta-wina character. Lame.
Of course, I'm going to mention Franky. Yawn-inducing muscle man who has to serve as the supa macho level omega character. Look at how masculine he is! He's exactly what every series needs! Oh, he's so badass with his glasses and metal nose and big muscular arms. And his ego! He's perfect! It's gets really tiresome reading that on this forum every few threads.
And personally, I find all the Gundam Wing series to be some of the most boring series out there.
edit-
And all the characters from that Milk-chan show or whatever it was called. -
Another One Piece character:
Though he has good lines and a few awesome moments, Zoro bores the hell out of me.
And though I like him, I wish everyone would get off of Brooke's boner (HAR HAR).
-
I think Robin is underrated by ODA. She has the potential to be one of the strongest characters in the manga, but ODA dumbs her powers down by alot IMO.
Sasuke is over-rated but I still love him cause he is an ass. Even though, he did get nicer in Part 2.
Vegita is not overrated to me.
Are we measuring over-rated by fighting ability or how much the character should be liked? Because those are two totally different things.
-
I measure mine by personality. Fighting is inferior to personality. It would be odd to say Tsusiko Sagi is a horrible character because she doesn't fight.
-

Generally it's by how much other people like them. It's a little weird for someone outside of the comics to say someone's fighting ability is overrated.
-

Ok well that is different than. I think Itachi is over-rated as a character but his fighting ability is not.
Also with Lee, I think he is character is right on and etc, but his fighting ability is not the best. People bring up they dont like Lee because he never won a fight, but if its just off personality than he has a great one, IMO.
Sasuke and Vegita are cocky assholes. Some people dislike them for it, others like them for it.
Robin personality wise is lacking to me, but her fighting ability is not used to her potential.
-
I don't think people dislike Sasuke and Vegeta because they're cocky assholes. Cocky assholes can be awesome if written properly, look at Dark Schneider for instance.
-
Azumanga Daioh, Haruhi and all can be highly entertaining and extremely funny but the massive eyeballs are disturbing.
-
Nico Robin: She can be a cool character sometimes, but still she is freakin' annoying with that overpower DF and would-be cool personality.
I also think that Sanji got a bit overrated over the years. And he is one of my favorite characters :sad:
-
Suzumiya Haruhi. I'm a Haruhist myself but I gotta admit the facts, she seems OVER-Popular.
-
Zoro: Quite easily THE most boring character I have ever seen. His first few fights were cool, but once it got to Grand Line time, it was just boring.
Ichigo: Yarrrrrrr, I have swords and must take up 3/4 of the manga training.
Renji: Dunno why people even like this guy.
Sakura: Permanent Aunt Erma time. -
Every character from every series.
~topic over~
-
Probably every single character out there is overrated, they're just the same attitudes recycled into different manga's.
1. Stupid, happy go lucky, big appetite main characters
2. Badass, anti-social, man of few words side kick
3. Usually the opposite of character 2
4. He'll be cool for a while but will be over shadowed as the series goes on, becoming a background character.
5. Time fillers, make the main fights look betterThe only characters that probably aren't overrated will be the original ones, since no-one will have ever seen anything like it.
EDIT. That's scary Captain kaze, we wrote that at the same time
-
I'd say Naruto as whole is pretty overrated, but I can think of a few things about it that are underrated.
And Brooke, from One Piece. He's really not all that great tbh, and people are seriously going on about how he's going to be a crewmember?
-

Brooke is funny and all but yeah, he showed up for what, 2 and a half chapters now and became like the best character ever. "oh nooo no Brooke this week why Oda, why"
I'd say Zoro too, but his popularity seems to be going slightly downhill these days.
-
-
Perhaps Alucard? And, in some extend, Gutts. For my defence I don't really know who's popular and who's not among fandome but those two tends to appear out of nowhere quite often.
Good one, Super_Jew. _
-
The casts of Lucky Star, Manabi Straight, Ichigo Mashimaro, and every other pedo loli moe bullcrap that people seem to be crazy over.
-
@mumbo230:
Cloud(!!), Sephiroth(!!)
DEFIANTLY AGREE WITH THESE TOO, hell i actually say FF7 itself is overrated. i wont admit it good but i still say it is one of the most severely overrated games
-
The majority of the Naruto cast, with a few exceptions; Robin, Usopp, Vivi, and several others in One Piece are pretty overrated; Envy from FMA; Hitsugaya, Byakuya, and Renji from Bleach.
It's funny how the most boring characters of a series are the most popular ones, yet awesome people like Jiraiya, Crocus, or Dordonii are overlooked.
-
Kira Yamato from Gundam Seed/Destiny.
-

Usopp's overrated? Coulda fooled me.
-
Pretty much the main characters in the top 3 manga that end with O
Zoro
Naruto
IchigoI could rant all day but I'm just gonna leave my comment and go. That's what this thread is for, right?
-
Team Rocket,They appear in every single episode trying to catch Pikachu and they fail and blasting off every time,Pokemon needs new villians
I think Robin is a little overrated i wish she was funny
Edit:Can i make a Underrated thread or did somebody plan to make one -
And Brooke, from One Piece.
And, in some extend, Gutts.
OMG GTFO
No seriously, I don't see how Brook is overrated. He is a unique, funny, badass character, like Franky. Plus there's clear hints he'll join the crew, it's not like it'd be something totally out of left field like say, Wiper.
Oh yeah for One Piece: Paulie. Paulie was the definition of overrated. Design, personality wise… Unoriginal bland trash.
-
Unoriginal bland trash.
Aka, Paulie was nothing but a clone of Waipa from Skypeia.
-
Zoro
Kenshiro(fist of the north star for that matter)
Cloud
Suzumiya Haruhi
Itachi(and sasuke)
The two ashholes from getbackers.
Dante from dmc(and vergil)
Link
paulie
kaku
dane cook(wait he not anime)…
I got some more but i don't want too get to much into preference
But these guys...god damn -
@Daisuke:
Aka, Paulie was nothing but a clone of Waipa from Skypeia.
Wiper kinda deserved his badass praise after his little skirmish with Shura
-
He is a unique, funny, badass character
that's subjective, and apparently I don't feel the same way.
-
No seriously, I don't see how Brook is overrated. He is a unique, funny, badass character, like Franky.
Brook seems to be very very popular so it's natural that those few who doesn't get the appeal (as this is a pretty subjective matter anyway) thinks that he is overrated. That's what happens when something is popular. Which is why I think that characters like Vivi can't possibly be overrated, unlike Mr. All Sunday claimed. I mean, come on, everybody hates her except very few. Chopper X Vivi go go go!
Paulie and Wiper (and Kohza and so on) belongs to what I call "adult versions of annoying kids". Paulie doesn't seem to be a that popular character anymore tho but, now that Water 7 is history, I have started to dig him.
-
I'm well aware of how much Vivi is disliked here, I don't like her myself, but it seemed like for the longest time that I remember there being tons of Vivi fans that I knew on the internet, and with most of the anime fans I've met.
-
Naruto: Naruto, Sasuke, Itachi, and Kakashi.
Bleach: Each and every fuckin' character.
Dragonball Z: Vegeta, Piccolo.Cloud Strife and Sephiroth. Seriously, people need to stop getting boners over these two idiots. Dante is just as bad, as is Master Chief and his extremely corny one-liners.
-
Naruto seems to be as much hated or considered pathetic as praised so I'd say he's rated properly.
Paulie and Wiper (and Kohza and so on) belongs to what I call "adult versions of annoying kids". Paulie doesn't seem to be a that popular character anymore tho but, now that Water 7 is history, I have started to dig him.
Kohza, forgot him. Man now that I think about it Alabasta had pretty lame side characters.
-
Shikamaru comes to mind, sure well anything post chuunin exam that is
-
Grrrr…I hate that character that a lot of people like!
Actually, I always thought that the whole Haruhi show was kinda overrated.
-
Brooke has just been introduced and there's still a lot of information about him that hasn't been shown yet. Judging him at this point is like judging Franky on his first appearance, before he flexed his muscles, yelled supaaa a thousand times, and cried while playing a song.
-
Franky's first appearance sold him for me though.
