Overrated/Underrated Characters?

[Fox 5,331]

Do you realize how ironic it is to read that after you've changed your avatar to Rainbow Dash, of all ponies?

 

Rainbow Dash is cool.... okay :c

[Guile 18]

Overrated: Fluttershy, Trixie.

 

Underrated: Applejack.

[HahaImagine 8]

Overrated: Damn this is hard, but probably Fluttershy. Sure she's adorable but i don't know there's not much too her I find.

Underrated: Rarity, I think people at times overlook the complicated character she really is or think of her as the bitchy fabulous girl stereotype.

[SinisterMongoose 104]

Overrated: Luna. Seriously I cannot tell you how many rabid Luna fanboys I have seen out there. I get it, she is the dark one and used be a villain and meow meow meow meow... Luna is a good character, but just the level of fanboyism I have seen around her has just been astounding.

 

Underrated: Celestia. Mostly because the Luna fanboyism sucks all the life and attention from Celestia in my opinion. She is supposed to be the good benevolent leader and yet she gets stuck with names like "Trollestia" and "Molestia" and being seen as a tyrant leader. I don't get it honestly hehe.

[Envy 6,263]

Overrated: I don't know. I like the characters that most others like. and even though I've never understood the obsession with Derpy I still can't say her because she has made me laugh.

 

Underrated: Beauty Brass (the sousaphone playing pony from The Grand Galloping Gala). Of course, she's just a background character that only appeared for a very short time with no lines. But that's no different than Octavia. Octavia may have appeared another time or two, but she was at the height of popularity before those later appearances.

 

There can only be one reason: Octavia plays a stringed instrument, while Beauty Brass plays a Brass/Wind instrument.

 

 

(although I do admit that Octavia's design is more favorable)

 

Applejack is also pretty underrated. I recently rewatched the sleepover episode, and she was full of personality in that episode. Usually when people ask why she doesn't get as much love they're always saying that she's a relatively dull character surrounded by characters that just stick out more. But the sleepover episode gave her plenty of personality if you ask me.

Overrated: though i still love them, derpy, Rainbow Dash, Trixie and Twilight are overrated imo (actually i dont even like trixie, never gave a flying feather about her, no idea how she even has a fanbase)

 

Underrated: Applejack, Rarity, and the CMC. i know of few bronies who give applejack first thought when thinking ponies, me included. and i have no idea why, but the CMC and rarity have a lot of haters, i dont see why, i love them. i love rarity more than fluttershy even

Rainbow Dash is overated so is fluttershy,Viynl, Derpy.

 

Diamond Tiara is Extreamly underated she does a better antagonist than trixie could ever be

[Vido 37]

I don't wanna call them overrated because it implies they're inferior when really we all love ponies, just some more than others

 

Under-appreciated: Applejack

Over-popular: Fluttershy, yeah I said it

 

FLUTTERSHY IS BEST PONY! Her character is so loveable to where many can relate to how she is so shy but always seems to conquer her fears in the end. Possibly inspirational?

 

I do agree with you that AJ is very under-rated though

[MallaJong1 202]

Overrated: Fluttershy, Applebloom and Derpy

Underrated: Spike, Sweetie Belle and Nightmare Moon (Luna is different. I am talking about the actual First Season Antagonist! She was so awesome! I wanted her to win.)

[Thunderstorm 120]

Overrated: Derpy Hooves, Rainbow Dash

 

Underrated: Applejack

 

Applejack seems to be the most unfavorite of the mane 6.. Dunno why.

 

I never understood the Derpy hype; I like her, but I was never crazy about her. And Rainbow Dash is just my least favorite.

[Number1Senpai 3]

I really hate when people say they like Derpy JUST because her name has DERP in it =_=...........its horrible and annoying

[agigantorllama 258]

underated: Rainbow dash

 

WHAT

I always thought Fluttershy was very overrated. Sure she's very cute, but people make her sound like the most adorable thing.

 

Applejack is the most underrated, imo. I've heard people say she has a dull personality, and does not live up to her element. This is the farthest from the truth.

[Jokuc 8,174]

I am not sure if I said it last time I replied in here, but Celestia is very underrated. Also, Spike and Granny Smith are.

Yeah I agree with both of your opinions. Fluttershy IS actually a little bit overrated. And Applejack needs more fans. I like AJ and as many ponies have said, I'd love to hear a song from her in season 3.

[ScottishUnicorn 285]

Applejack is so underrated, she's just so adorable.

 

I've never really gotten why everyone is so obsessed with derpy. Sure I like me a silly pony that likes muffins and whatnot, but people go crazy over her.

How did I forgot about Derpy Hooves? Yeah Derpy is THE MOST overrated chatecter there is. I mean it is just a pony with derp eyes, I can't see why people like her so much. Yes I know that Hasbro kept it as the fans noticed it but seriously, she has like.. What is it..? Two lines? Edited July 25, 2012 by Mr. Pillow

[OptimisticNeighsayer 479]

Overrated:

 

Derpy (not enough dialogue for me to really get to know her)

Fancypants (I feel I'm the only one who hates his character-- to me he's just as snobbish as any other Canterlot pony, but knows how to put on airs)

DJ-Pon-3/Vinyl Scratch (He's just there to play a little dubstep.)

Octavia (I like her, but she just needs more screentime for me to believe the fanbase hype)

Rainbow Dash (Though it may be just because she's my least favorite of the Mane Six and don't understand why people think she's legitimately 'cool'.)

 

Underrated:

 

Honestly, I can't think of any that's not justified by lack of focus or simple personal dislike. I think that Princess Celestia, Rarity and Twilight are underrated in some aspects of their personalities but otherwise get the love they deserve. I would say AJ is underrated, but there simply hasn't been enough opportunities to really get to know her in-show.

[Viridian Daybreak 66]

Overated- Vynl Scratch (I really do like her but it is true that she's hardly been on the show enough for her to deserve so many fans), Luna (she seems to be loved too much out of the sisters), and Fluttershy (I love her but she DOES get a lot of attention)

 

And I think Rainbow Dash is overrated just for myself because I draw so much fan art (she is best pony) of her and in fact I had a dream last night there was a promo for season three that hinted a SoarinDash episode. XD But in the fans I don't think she's overrated.

 

Underrated- AJ, Celestia, and Donut Joe (I can't find much fan art of him )

You..Just called Vinyl scratch a HE??

[Twi Rubix 726]

I forgot if I posted here, but...

 

Overrated:

Derpy (Don't get me wrong. I like derpy, but she is really, really praised often. Even the voice change got some freaking out, but that was just a one time thing.)

Trixie (After so long, i still don't get the appeal to her.)

 

Underrated:

Applejack (One of my favorite ponies, and I don't understand why she is so underrated, especially for a mane character. A pretty good character in my opinion.)

[Homura Akemi 974]

I've already been here, but I'm going to update my thoughts.

 

Over-appreciated: PRINCESS LUNA, Derpy Hooves, DJPon3, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash (sometimes)

 

Underrated: Spike, Applejack, PRINCESS CELESTIA, Apple Bloom.

 

I don't like Princess Luna. I said it.

 

Oh, and I still think Trixie is over-appreciated. Come on, she's an arrogant stank. If you like her, that's fine, but she's not that Great or Powerful.

[Pinkazoid 3,493]

Over-Rated:

 

Derpy- Ugh... she's a background character, nothing more than that >.>

 

Fluttershy- I only see her as the shy character every cartoon has ...

 

 

Under-Rated:

 

Applejack- She's not my favorite, but she does things almost nopony pays attention to....

 

Scootaloo- she needs an episode D:

[notdog1996 315]

Overated:

 

Derpy Hooves : I think I don't even have to explain this one...

Fluttershy : I don't know why she seems to be everyone's best pony

Almost all of the fanon characters also enter this category for me

 

Underated:

 

Applejack : How can you NOT love Applejack!?! That accent, that color scheme, that everything! She's an awesome character but people don't seem to realize it.

 

Nothing against the character I said were overated, just my opinion.

[Pinkazoid 3,493]

Fancypants (I feel I'm the only one who hates his character-- to me he's just as snobbish as any other Canterlot pony, but knows how to put on airs)

 

I wouldn't necessarily call him over-rated, I don't see much from him, but I don't think he's as snobbish as the Canterlot ponies, he actually appreciated Twilight's dress which was simpler than anything anypony wore in Canterlot, and not only that, but he saved Rarity from possible embarrassment
