Characters who you like but are considered underrated
It's been a while since I've made a thread, so fuck it.
Post characters who you considered underrated and explain why. This can be from the majority of the forums point of views, majority of the fandoms point of views (any other website) or how the character is treat during the game/show/movie etc. Also the character doesn't have to be considered your favourite, it could be someone who you just like.
For me:
Carl Grimes - The Walking Dead TV Show
I will admit, during season 2 - and to some extent season 3a - I didn't like him very much. However time after time he has grown on me and now I consider him one of my favourites, which is a pain because he rarely get's any screen time and I've heard that he might be sharing his comic book storyline with someone else, which for me is going to ruin it.
Pierce Washington - Saints Row
Though he is supposed to be that "no respect guy" to everyone in the game and you're not supposed to give a fuck about him, I honestly couldn't help but give a million fucks about him. He's humorous, loyal and overall a good singer 
Emily - Until Dawn
Man, I love Emily. I know her attitude is bad, but honestly she has made me chuckle on a few occasions during the game. Though I do love Sam, she managed to make it as my favourite. Also 10/10, good roaster.
Note: Please respect each others opinions, I can't help but feel as if something is going to turn into some Kenny vs Jane thread shit.

Kate Marsh - Life is Strange
Talia Forrester - Game of Thrones
Theon Greyjoy / Reek - Game of Thrones
Abraham Ford - The Walking Dead
AYYY, PIERCE. He was always my favorite in Saints Row.
Yeah, I knew I was going to like him when he first made an appearance in Saints Row 2
Emily - Until Dawn
T-Dog - The Walking Dead
Octavia Blake - The 100
Man, I loved Peirce. He was like that loyal sidekick, or that was the type of vibe I got off of him, much better than Shaundi.
The only character that comes to mind right now is Azama from Fire Emblem: Fates. And he's underrated because he's useless since he usually joins so late in the game that you don't actually need him. His personality is hilarious though and if you take the time to level him up, he's a complete powerhouse.
Fizzie from Sunset Overdrive
Alois Trancy - Kuroshitsuji
Kate Marsh - Life is Strange
Thats honestly all I can think of, the other chracters are like are well liked characters.
Skinny Pete - Breaking Bad
Bella Swan from Twilight. (books).
Emily from Until Dawn.
Cry Baby
Kind of an iffy one here.
Private First Class William Hudson
There are people whom love him and a lot of people whom hate him.
Read my name
Tywin fuckin' Lannister.
Everybody loved to hate him, but he was my all time favourite character.
I hated Emily for the first time I played the game but when I replayed the game so many times, I kinda started to like her, she was the only character who felt remorse for making a prank on Hannah which got her and her sister killed. I hate everyone else who was involved in the prank, they felt no remorse to Hannah and Beth's disappearance, not even to Josh's feelings, so I don't regret letting them die, they deserved it and only got Chris, Sam and Emily alive.
Though I hate Life is Strange so much, I think Kate Marsh was a very well written character in the game. She is the only character who I think seemed so underrated in Life is Strange TBH.
Sarah was my favourite character in Season 2. I really liked the relationship between her and Clementine. I really never understood the hate on her. She really didn't deserve the fate she has got. She was more well written than the other cabin members in my opinion.
1.) Axel - Minecraft: Story Mode
Some people look at Axel and thinks he's just a dumbass, who's also a jerk to his friends. But, I really liked his character. A prankster, and a thief, who's also very protective of his friends. And, I'm not gonna lie, I laughed every time he was onscreen.
2.) Papierwaite - Sam & Max: The Devil's Playhouse
I never hear his name being talked about, and I wonder why. Papierwaite was a worshiper of Yog-Sogoth, who eventually joined by Sam's side to take down Monster Max. Classic bad-guy-turned-good-guy. Also, he's been around since 1901, and STILL looks healthy, young, and fine!
Richard Alpert - Lost
Yeah I liked Emily a lot too.
Otherwise, you guys (Not you) hate Emily because of the way she treats her boyfriend. Y'all forgot that he used a SELFIE STICK to record the prank on Hannah and her reaction?
Emily isn't really any better than everyone else beside Sam, Josh, and Chris, since she did go along with the prank and didn't object to her future boyfriend filming the prank.
Besides, hating Emily for how she treats her boyfriend is perfectly reasonable, especially when she can lie to the police and try to have him arrested for not saving her at the fire tower just because their relationship isn't adequate enough in her eyes.
I never said she is better than Sam, Chris and Josh.
Here's my list, which does not include Telltale characters.
Aye, Richard Alpert rules! His background story was pretty cool and his music theme was perfect.
I was actually going to put her in here too. However, I thought I'd pick one character from each franchise and I love Emily (who is underrated as well) a lot more.
The hate she gets is confusing. I can perfectly understand the reasons with Chris - I was annoyed myself when I found out she locks the door because she attempted to make a sacrifice and Chris accepted that, however then get's pissed off with him.
However the reasoning with "she get's in the way of Chris x Josh" is stupid and to admit, it makes me slightly annoyed, considering it was obvious that Chris and Ashley was going to become canon from the start - though I don't ship it at all.
Well I think you can easily say she was better than Josh considering the mental abuse he enacted on his friends over the game..?
Also it wasn't because she felt their relationship was bad that that happened? It's because she actually saw him not helping her as a betrayal.
I think most people in that situation wouldn't exactly be thrilled with their partner,
I'm one of the people who love him.
Talia, Abraham and Reek are underrated?
Perhaps not massively, but to me they are some of the greatest characters in their specific series' who are every bit as good as the leads.
Abraham is every bit as good as Daryl, Rick and Michonne (in my opinion). But, from what I've seen, he's quite underrated and loads of people want him to be Negan's victim.
Talia is just as good a character as Rodrik and Asher and Mira.
And Reek is just as compelling a character as Tyrion or Jaime, or Jon Snow. At least to me.
All of them were just the handful of characters who came to mind first.
Sansa Stark - Game of Thrones
She's my favorite character because I relate to her the most. Teenage girls getting fucked over and over again by life but rising back up again and again, stronger everytime.
Personally, while I agree that what Josh did was wrong and had caused a lot of trauma towards his friends, most of his own friends did cause his sisters to go missing by attempting to humiliate Hannah and record the footage in the middle of the mountains. He does lose some sympathy points due to targeting the wrong people in an elaborate set up that made them feel that they were about to die, and were one of the least involved in the prank.
I've seen a few walkthrough videos where Emily can sell out Matt to the cops in the credits sequence even if he risks his own life reaching for her hand before she fell off the fire tower, which means that Matt can then potentially die the next scene if Emily didn't give him the flare gun. If Matt does die trying to save Emily after the fire tower collapse, Emily has no problems telling the police not to bother looking for him and can also lie that he left her to die.
It's one thing to not get along with your partner in a dire situation, but it's another when you choose to lie to the police about your partner supposedly leaving you to die when you know that did not happen.
I think the Chris vs Ashley choice is interesting because of how it appears to set Ashley up as a willing sacrifice, but the words she speaks is more on the literal and meta level.
She says "Let me choose to save you", which implies that she wanted to make the decision to sacrifice herself with her own hands (though she doesn't seem to realizes that both of them are bound), but she's not literally given the choice as the game gives Chris/the player to choose instead of Ashley, since there is not option to give her the gun instead of shooting her. From her point of view, Chris denies her request and chooses to shoot her shortly after considering shooting himself, which may have been perceived as a betrayal and why she hesitates to open the door for him.
I know I'm grasping at straws here, but it's just a theory of mine.
I've always been a big fan of TV Carl but felt he's always got too much stick. I've always liked the character and Chandlers done a great job of bringing my fav comic character to life!
My underrated character: Dwight
I agree with all of these. But they're still not underrated.
And you're the authority on deciding what's underrated and what's not, are you? :P
This is just my opinion... and you put The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct on your list of overrated games.
A game critically panned by everyone (with review scores averaging at 3.2/10). But that's how you felt, so fine.
This is just how I felt.
You got a point lol.
What?
I saw a Sansa picture and I guessed it was you. :P
I found that in the series, remplacing Arya "Jeyne" Stark by Sansa was a weird move: I can understand the plot she has in book is difficult to put on screen; yet she endures the worst kind of shit seasons before, so marrying her to Ramsay (with Joffrey, the two more sadistic character living in the universe) was too much "getting fucked over and over."
Anyway her trouble seems to be over in both medias, there's no reason it doesn't happen to you too.
