Which characters do you think are the most overrated and why? (yeah that's it) I'm not gonna share mine because when I do (usually) I just regret doing it.

Man, seriously Ivypool. She did nothing as a spy in the DF, she had no right to tell Dovewing how to live her life (yeah, I get she was worried about her but controlling her and then givin her the cold shoulder was awful). Her jealous issues were beyond ridiculous and how she acted with disdain towards Cinderheart's training comparing her mentor with Hawkfrost... ugh. Then, when she threw Twigpaw under the bus in front of all of SkyClan...
Man. How much I despise how beloved she's in the fandom. I've met a lot of rabid fans everywhere, including this site.

Squirrelflight. Don't get me wrong, I like Squilf a lot. But she's hyped up to be this girl boss can do no wrong character. And that just...ignores her character entirely???

Apart from Squirrelflight (Which, I assume by now you'd have all guessed my rant would be about her) probably Jayfeather. Like, I get it, he's cool, blind, sassy, cool design, but that's it. His personality annoys me, and sure, the babying I can understand would annoy anyone, but its just stupid that his character is so respected when he's just honestly such a rude cat.

NOT JAYFEATHER. NOT JAYFEATHER. Anyways, the most overrated characters are probably Ivypool for the exact same reasons Woofzie stated, and Sandstorm. I don't really see her getting love anymore, but I swear, she used to be insanely popular for just being a first arc 'girlboss'. I really don't like her. The only personality she showed was her taking everything personally, abandoning Dustpelt completely out of nowhere, and when Fireheart did something she didn't like, she would run back to Dustpelt. Also, Hollyleaf. I ****ing despise that little hypocrite. Crookedstar too. He's cool, but not as cool as the fandom makes him out to be.

Definitely not THE most overrated, but Sleekwhisker.
I like all the Sleekwhisker MAPS, animations and such that people have made of her. I never disliked Sleekwhisker and I like what the fandom has done with her, but...
I feel like the fandom portrays her as a way more complicated character than she actually was in the books. She's just a Darktail crony who got more page time than his other cronies. She doesn't have this complicated relationship with Needletail or her parents and her loyalty to Darktail isn't really expanded much on.
Again, I need to stress that I love the fandom's creativity. This isn't meant to be a callout post or anything lol. But I feel like she's sort of overrated, since she is liked more for the way the fandom interprets her then for what she actually is.

Ivypool, Squirrelflight to a degree, Leafstar, Gray Wing. I find both Leafstar and Gray Wing extremely hypocritical in their actions and yet they are glorified by the fanbase. I don't dislike them or hate them but they are low on the neutral list for me. Right now only Needletail and Lightleap are on my dislike list and for the exact same reason. I find them both spoiled, selfish princesses, who for their own self-centered reasons put others in danger and then expect instant forgiveness. (I still don't see Needletail leaving the kin if Rain hadn't been killed. She was 100% behind everything Darktail did until her boyfriend was killed trying to take over the kin. Since he failed she suddenly remembered she was a clan cat because her life was in danger.)

I mean, it would have to be Squish, right? People have made all kinds of excuses for her when it’s her flaws that made her compelling in the first place.
I’d also go with Scourge while we have time. Dude was made just to show us how eager Tigerstar was, and most BloodClan content doesn’t even feature him. His graphic novel was interesting, at least, but you can tell what audience WC was catering to.

I think Scourge's design has a lot to do with his popularity, including the collar with dog and cat teeth. People like edgy things (including me lmao)

Here we go... Feathertail - honestly she ain't even that interesting, her manga really hyped her up (yes, I'm slandering my namesake on every social app I use, and my #1 character) Gray Wing - I'm sorry but if he lived during any other timeline than DOTC he would be called an asshole for his actions Every Frostfur+Lionheart kit - none of them have any personality, except maybe Thornclaw for being snarky. And Cinderpelt since we actually seen a lot about her Ivypool - I just don't understand why people praise her for what she's doing, while other characters that do the same things get hated Sleekwhisker - she has so much fan content, but barely has anything in canon Swiftpaw - Idk I just don't remember anything about him being interesting Sunstar - I didn't see him being much of a father figure to Bluestar, or being a good leader (since we barely seen him as a leader). Appledusk - I'm on tiktok kinda a lot and I see people loving and adoring him there. I don't think he's done much at all that makes him deserve all that "recognition" Hawkfrost - so much potential that never got used Scourge - I know, I know. But again, I don't think he's done enough to get loved so much. In my eyes he's just an edgy cat with an edgier story.
I'm sorry if any of these came off as rude-I don't mean to sound like that. I'll respect you, and it won't change my opinion on you whether you like the character or not

A few of the ones I'd usually say have been mentioned already (lookin @ you jayfeather and gray wing) so I am going to put in Alderheart. I always think of this post I saw years ago that described him as something along the lines of "mental illness rep for people who can't stomach character flaws beyond uwu anxious bean" and it was so true. What a boring guy lol

*Puts on protective gear* Firestar. (Don't kill me please.) I like him but the amount of hype he gets is too much in my opinion. Especially after the first arc. His character was always a bit bland for me. He gives me George Washington vibes. He rarely ever makes mistakes and when he does they're righteous mistakes. When a character makes a mistake I want it to be a mistake. Also, his inclusion in OOTS was too much for me.

I think he was great in the first arc, but after that he just goes downhill and I really didn't enjoy reading about him anymore

Crookedstar. His SE was good, but outside of that, he was an astoundingly mediocre leader to RiverClan.

This one is going to get me burned at the stake but...
*drumroll*
Ravenpaw. Don't get me wrong, he deserves the love he gets and I like him a lot, but I feel like the fandom clings to him only for his relationship with Barely and nothing more. Other than being sweet, nervous, and living in a barn there's really not much going for him.

Gray Wing. I used to like him a lot but as the years have gone by and I reread DOTC again, he's a bit of a hypocrite and even though he stood up to Clear Sky, he later became a Clear Sky apologist and defends all his actions. And his StarClan self in Riverstar's Home was also terrible.
