In Your Opinion~Who are Overrated Characters?
-
-
oh nvm I was referring to his 1st un-masked appearence with the song and then the fight with Luffy
-
Grrrr…I hate that character that a lot of people like!
A lot of times, it's more of an issue of people who won't shut the fuck up about the same thing.
-
I think he might be referring to the scene where Franky dances with the Square Sisters, which pretty much sold him for me as well.
EDIT: Bah.
-
This isn't about liking characters though, this is about whether or not you think they're overrated. I think Brooke is an ok character, but to me right now, he's not all that and a bag of chips like everone thinks he is.
-
That's what I said.
-
Sasuke definetely has to be the character with the most empty hype. I've heard so many crazed fans rave about how much of a cool badass he is, but he's one of the most angst-ridden manga characters I've ever seen.
I personally have never seen Light, L, or any Death Note character as overrated. But, that's probably because I've never really associated with Death Note fans.

! Well L fans constantly bash Light about how much of a "total douche ass bitch" he is because he you know… killed L and all.
! Not to mention how many L fans stopped reading Death Note BECAUSE of L's death. -

! Forget what those illogical idiots say then, L is overrated because of their damn opinions. Seriously, Light being a bitch ass because L dead?! Oh my fucking god girls, fucking grow up you swooning brats! You all fucking knew one of them was going to die and you were all thinking L had no chance, guess again! And stop reading Death Note because L dies?! Good lord of fuck these girls take manga and anime seriously.

! er well male fans also called Light a bitch for killing L and also stopped reading because they liked L and thought Near was TEH GHEY!
Although I never really got into death note personally… I didn't really like any of the characters.
Now I'd say pretty much anyone in Naruto except the females are overrated but the big one's seem to be Sasuke, Naruto, Shino, Lee, Gaara, Itachi, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, Tsunade, Yondaime, Kisame, Shikamaru, Neji, and Gai... I think that's all of them... Oh and Kakashi yeah... Not to mention Tobi and Akatsuki Leader...
-
Of how much L is loved, Death Note should have been instead called the L Rabu Rabu L Love Time (In small letters-With Asshole Bitch Light)
Wai to go fangirls!111!!!ONE
-
Yeah, I never really got all that attatched to L. He was quirky enough to be interesting, but
! his death was hardly emotional (though a bit of a surprise).
-
But why is it I now feel girls only read Death Note for L?
Oh and speaking of Tobi, he's overrated because of these "OMGZerzz!!!1111!!!11!!!!1!1!11ONEONEONE Tobi is Obito, lol lol lol!1!1!!111!!1!!1oneone"
-
You guys might want to spoiler tag that.
Also that and the reason why a lot of people stopped reading the manga was because a lot of people found it boring after that.
I also thought of a new overrated character: Hollow Ichigo.
God he gets so much credit and how he's sooooooo powerful Bah I say. Though I think really all demons in anime who posess main characters are overrated.
edit: Oh yeah the 4th hokage and Tobi. Ugh.
-
Yeah, spoiler tag that plz.
-
Because of overrated-overload of Tobi and
Bishie Wishie for zeh girls of his4th Hokage~Naruto's new title: The Super Tobi and 4th Hokage Fun Show.
-
Swordsmen and characters with gigantic eyes.
-
Seshomaru from Inu-Yasha is severely overrated, too. I can see why some fans like him for evil/benevolent ambiguity he shows throughout the series. But, the thing that bothers me the most is that fangirls are blinded by his whole "Bishie" look that they forget some of his flaws.
The same goes with Kurama from Yuyu Hakusho. There's nothing wrong with his character, it's just that hyped fangirls like him too much because they think he's cute without even paying attention to his character.
-
Yeah, spoiler tag that plz.
I really don't see the reason too considering it's already been revealed in the anime so it's not like the people who already see Death Note don't know about it.
I mean no one uses spoiler tags when talking about Aerith or Dumbledore's fates so what makes L special?
but whatever it's already been done so I guess it really doesn't matter.
Anyways I'd also say Kagome is overrated too. In the Kagome fandom Kagome can do no wrong and is perfect in every way while it's always InuYasha's fault any time Kagome suffers and then they talk abotu how much Kikyo sucks even though Kikyo is a far better character.
-
The thing is, I like Brooke. I might even love him, but jesus christ i wish everyone would shut up about him.
And Franky's first appearance had me sold, too. And then when he unmasked himself he was super sold.
edit: Oh yeah
YYH fans will kill me for this
But
Sensui.
-
Brook is so popular because he's something brand new and unique coming right after Franky, who was already a breath of fresh air for the crew. You can't blame people for being excited about his potential.
Cause the interaction between the other crewmembers get a little stale, with the three idiots running away from female warthogs zombies losing the little dignity they still had after previous arcs and Zoro and Sanji feuding.
-
Hiei and Kurama?
Heck if anything Kuwabara is the most underrated character ever in that series. All the fans think he sucks when that's not the case.
-
Kurama underated?
Do those two words go together?Hiei and Kurama are two of the most boring characters Iv'e ever seen in a main cast this side of Trowa Barton.
Though in all fairness, at least Kurama has emotions.
Hiei, no so much. He's perpetually "miffed". -

I mean the YYH fandom makes Kuwabara out to be a fool when he's anything but that.

It's a bit of a stretch to consider any Death Note characters as "overrated", since there are so few central characters with any manga-esque quirks, e.g. Yagami Light, L, Mello, and Near.
But yes, it's fuckin' annoying to hear women blabber on about how L is the Pinnacle of Mankind.

…coming from a Death Note fan.
-
Itachi from naruto(Im sure this has been said many…...many times)
Gin from Bleach(you have to actually do shit imo, to deserve all this critical acclaim)
Enel from One Piece(people claim he would take over the world if he was on the Blue sea, but fail to realize that part of the reason he dominated skypiea was its isolation and the lack of a defense against electricity(wasn't needed, since I doubt they have many thunderstorms in skypiea). Enel would not have gotten away with what he did had he been on the blue sea.
-
Hanatarou from bleach. This kid has such a huge fanbase for what healing Renji and Ichigo. Whoopie. He's a cool character, but damn, I was actually surprised to see how many fans he had.
That and Kon. Never really got what fans saw in him.
-
About Hanatarou, well ALMOST everyone in Bleach isn't like him in his calm and easy off, so its personality for him most likely.
-
@Cap'n:
…coming from a Death Note fan.
Exactly. Coming from somebody who is frequently surrounded by Death Note fans and knows his shit.
-
Someone who is constantly surrounding himself with the faggotry of that banal series

Sephiroth: He's cool, but people think he's more evil than Kefka, easily in my top 5 villains of all time. He's generic looking, but he's a generic looking bishie, so he'll have lots of female fans for that… The sword is standard, nothing special as of now. It was HUGE for back in that time though... Tell you what, pit Sephiroth against a truly unique villain like Tyki Mikk and you'll start to dislike him the second he gets his ass beat.
Well that pretty much ended any thoughts of mine about posting roughly the same thing.. xD;; I'm actually kind of glad people don't appreciate Kefka for the evil genius that he is though… I don't think I'd be able to stay even remotely sane if he accumulated even a tenth of the fan base that everyone's 'favorite silver haired bishie' has… shudders
Honestly I'm surprised no one has mentioned Vincent from FFVII yet.. (Granted I'm tired and I do not doubt that I probably skipped over his name while skimming through the thread earlier.) Don't get me wrong, I like him quite a bit despite how annoying his Chaos transformation could be when fighting certain monsters... However what gets me is that some people worship him almost as much as Sephiroth! He's probably the third most over hyped character from that game, with Spike and Mama's Boy beating him for the top spots.! Though to be fair the poor guy is probably only worshipped by fan girls for a handful of reasons, most of which revolve around his looks and the fact that he has that whole 'vampire' thing going for him. However I think the reason why most people go crazy over Vincent is because of the fact that there is an overwhelming amount of circumstantial evidence that point to him as being Sephiroth's father.. Yeah, I used to be a fan of FFVII before it's rather rabid fans killed it for me. :P
As for Vivi, I quite honestly liked her.. I wouldn't go as far as saying she's my favorite character but I also don't think she deserves all the flack that she gets from some fans.. She's not great, but not all that bad either.. -

Wait, how does Chopper keep getting lumped in with Nami and Usopp? How is he suddenly "as low" as those two? Putting those Nami/Usopp aside right now, that reindeer had the best fight in the last arc and did little to shame himself. Of course, Chopper is also the "cute-little-WTF-is-that" of this anime, so I guess one could say that they never have much dignity.
Now for the overrated. Buggy for one. Yes, I'm sure he'll do something awesome, but hearing people say "he could've kicked Luffy's ass, he was holding back!" is going a little too far. Until we see other wise he's fairly weak, though a glutton for punishment.
And I'm going to take a risk and say Kenpachi from Bleach. Now, I haven't seen his fight in the anime yet, but I'm going to assume he's not that great because:
1. He's in Bleach.
2. He loses to Ichigo (so I hear), even if it's by some technicality.
But I could be wrong…
-
….
Kenpachi is awesome. Don't bitch about characters you don't evem know.
-
Is tyki mikk "truly unique" personality wise?
-
….
Kenpachi is awesome. Don't bitch about characters you don't evem know.
yeah…I just wanted to put some content in my post. We'll see though...
Also, don't use "bitching" as that implies whining, and I wasn't doing any of that.
Now Sesshomaru. That guy is definitely overrated.
-
@Cap'n:

Death Note was good imo. Its just alot of people who watch it are stupid, and imo, the series is wasted on them.
Anyone who says Death Note is great for its "trippy mind battles!!!!" or thinks that Raito at the end was out of character falls into that category.
-
@Cyringohn:

Shut up gaylord.
Anyway, I know i said the entire Bleach cast was overated without exception, but some more than others.
I'm talking about you Hitsugaya. You may think your a tough little Hiei esque bugger. But your basically just a glorified extension of the same thinking that spawned Baby motherfucking Geniuses.
And not even Yamcha can say he came from that.
-

Agreed with you there. And sorry =/
Anyway yeah personally I have never really found any death note characters truly overrated, but I can see how people think that (especially with L and Near).
-
Is tyki mikk "truly unique" personality wise?
Yes. His purpose in life is to kill the normal people, even though those people are those that he has a good relationship with. befriending a small child even, I can only assume he's torn between the enjoymentof killing and protecting his friends, yet he stuill finds joy in both of these occupations of his. that and, his power is amazing.

He gets lumped in with them cause he's with them, simple as that. The fact he was the most impressive of the three in previous arcs (which doesn't say much) makes his current behavior even more pitiful. I thought he decided he was a real pirate back in Skypiea when he kicked Gedatsu's ass?

Pfft, like he knew he'd get chased by zombies. Like "real pirates" fight zombies on a regular basis! It's not their fault Oda wanted to send them on a Scooby Doo chase in this arc.
Every time I see you post, I'm reminded of how overrated Sanji and Zoro are. Oh, I think they're awesome and cool, but they hardly warrant being better then the other Sh's just cause they get the "strongest opponents" and KO useless soldiers in each arc. Seriously, it's a travesty that Usopp gets beat by Jyabura, yet no one cares that Zoro is the only SH dumb enough to get stuck in a chimney? Wtf?
And then there's the matter of fact that Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji have most recently been captured, most likely by "Spider mice." Fuck, all the SHs are clowns–who cares about the dignity of a cartoon character?
-

I know what you mean about Kikyo. I don't really understand the full blown hate towards her and how some fans enjoy demonizing her. It was so bad to the point where I had to post somewhere an article defending her butt. Not to say that I dislike Kagome. I like both characters, but they're both different in unique ways and you can't go hating on Kikyo over catty reasons.
Anyways, just thought of another~ Read or Die (TV series) – the Paper sisters. Was disappointed that Yomiko Readman had such a borderline role when in fact, she was the best character out of them all.

…..Thats not really that original. I mean guy doing bad things in order to protect his friends is fairly common. So I wouldn't really consider him a truly original villain.
His tease power is original, but not really his personality or charcter design imo.
-
Pfft, like he knew he'd get chased by zombies. Like "real pirates" fight zombies on a regular basis! It's not their fault Oda wanted to send them on a Scooby Doo chase in this arc.
"Real pirates" in the OP world should be able to handle lame ass zombie grunts without looking like a bunch of incontinent larvas in the process.

Seriously, it's a travesty that Usopp gets beat by Jyabura, yet no one cares that Zoro is the only SH dumb enough to get stuck in a chimney? Wtf?
Zoro and Sanji are lame as well but at least they can make up for their personality shortcomings by kicking ass. The three stooges don't even have that saving grace.
Fuck, all the SHs are clowns–who cares about the dignity of a cartoon character?
I do, it's an obviously crucial matter for me rollingofeyes

I haven't been keeping up with OP so most of you lot have spoiled my pretty soundly here (STOP IT), but Aldrich's off-hand comment interested me the most since it sounds like Chopper has become the new Usopp.
And Brooke is the new Franky, except he's a swordsman to boot, so I guess that makes Zoro's position on the crew obsolete.
