Overrated characters.

I voted for Squirrelflight, Alderheart, Twigbranch, Dovewing, and Scourge. I would have voted for Skystar, Graywing, Thunderstar, Needletail, and Windstar but they weren’t choices.

Ivypool and Hollyleaf.

Oh I don't think all of them are overrated but I just put characters I thought f at the moment.

I personally do not think that any of the characters are really overrated. Most of them are either popular for certain reasons or just mean something special to individual fans of them. Especially when it comes to feelings of nostalgia.

Mothwing

ugh, no!! I love Silverstream, she's in first place rn!!!!!!! I mean, yes, she is a bit overrated, but she didn't deserve this!!

I'm curious why people chose Silverstream? She doesn't seem like the most popular cat so I wouldn't think she'd qualify for this list.

I would choose Hollyleaf even though I understand why so many people like her. She's a good character but maybe a bit too hyped up in the fandom.

And Squirrelflight obviously. She's one of my personal favorites, but she's also very overrated. There are other better cats from her era!

I think silverstreem feathertail spottedleaf ravenpaw Bluestar shadowsight.

Also how is bristlefrost overrated lots of people think she's boring? I'm not one of them but still..

I voted for Squirrelflight and only her.

A lot of the fandom darlings seem to rotate out. Look at a cat like Scourge. Posterchild for late-2000s Deviantart edginess back in the day. Now? Nobody really talks about him that much (at least more than any other character) and we're probably not going to get new canon material of him for a while.
Right now Bristle is in that limelight, but I really don't think she'll reach that fandom-immortality Squilf saw.

Also, why is Dovewing winning against Ivypool? Ivy has to be the most overrated of the two, imo, due to how praised and loved she is by an infinite amount of fans, while Dovewing still recives a lot more hate than her.

Main characters are talked about because they are the pov a popular character is popular because they are well known that dousent mean they are overrated overrated means a character that doesn't do much suddenly gets a lot of attention. Like way back in the day with silverstreem who was there for two books and died. But characters like squirrelflight and bristlefrost are popular because they are pov and are very important.

I voted for Mapleshade, Jayfeather, Dovewing, Leafstar, and Mothwing. I hate Tigerstar II as well, but I don't think he's really overrated - he seems to get a lot of (well deserved) hate.

I feel like a lot of people really enjoy Mapleshade as a villain, and while she was great in some books (Crookedstar's Promise), she's been severely overused. She should be faded by now. We need fresh female villains, please and thank you.

I do like Jayfeathr, but I don't think he's as great as a lot of the fandom has always made him out to be? Like, he's a good character and all, but he gets put on this pedestal that I don't think is really deserved. He gets to be super annoying a lot of the time.

I'm not sure if Dovewing is really overrated or not. But she's one of those cats who's okay, but a lot of people seem to love her and I genuinely don't know why. Like, I don't hate her or anything, but I don't think she's worth the hype that she gets.

A lot of people say that Leafstar is the best leader currently and that kinda stuff. And yeah, technically that's true, but it's not because she's some great cat or great leader, but rather because all the other living leaders kinda suck (except for Harestar, but we haven't seen enough of him to know if he's decent or not). Like, she's not that great a character, nor is she that great a leader. Keep in mind she decided to leave the lake in AVOS, knowing that StarClan had already said they needed to stay or else it would cause trouble to ALL the clans, SkyClan included. She also did a whole lot of nothing for a while during TBC - she was the one they kept having to wait on to make decisions, even after she knew the truth.

I loved Mothwing for a while, but the way she acted in TBC really changed my opinion of her, so now I think she's overrated. I hope she redeems herself in ASC.

To be fair, Leafstar only decided to leave after Juniperclaw tried to poison her Clan and destroyed the dens. Before that, she was doing everything she could to make sure SkyClan had a place by the lake and was even willing to fight Tigerstar on it, and the only Clan that really cared about them leaving to the point of being willing to give up territory was ThunderClan. Mistystar and Tigerstar didn't want to and the former even agreed that SkyClan was better off at the gorge, and Harestar only said he would do so if all the other Clan did so first. Even then, she didn't make her decision until afterwards.

As for TBC, I feel like if Tree being a codebreaker had actually been remembered after LS, she probably would've had a slightly bigger role to play in the first half of TBC, but she wasn't completely useless either, such as essentially tricking "Bramblestar" into an ambush.
