User blog:CheeseyCrackers/Talking about "overrated/underrated" characters

Okay, let's get this straight YOU ARE NOT "QUIRKY" OR "COOL" FOR CALLING GOOD CHARACTERS OVERRATED OR BAD CHARACTERS UNDERRATED

If you don't get my point, here's a little situation, with the characters marked as P(insert number here) P1: The Cherries are soooo underrated! P2: Why? P1: Because they helped their team a lot! P2: But they were bland P1: But they're still underrated!!!

Here's my problem with this. A character is not underrated if that character has no discernable personality. I could say that this situation would have worked better if I chose a more bland character, but let's just pretend I did. The same goes with other (less bland) characters, let's say I said Lightbulb was "overrated" LIGHTBULB IS SUPPOSED TO BE LIKEABLE. And I'm not saying that EVERYONE has to view a character as "bland" or "not bland" like I do. I'm just saying, if you are fully aware a character is bland and others are better that them, it makes no sense to say the character is "underrated"
