Top 10 Most Overrated Undertale Characters
Remember, overrated does not necessarily equal bad. In my opinion, & possibly others, these characters either get too much attention or that they're not as big of a deal as most people make them out to be. If your favourite UT character is on here, don't rage about it in the comments. Respect these opinions, & yours get respected.Also, I'd like to apologise for being inactive for such a long time. It's been months since I even last visted this site, let alone make anything. Hopefully not everyone's forgotten about me on here completely. If everyone has, that wouldn't be a surprise.
Well, have this list for now.
I painfully agree. Sans, being the fan-favorite character in Undertale, is overrated and overused much more than he was meant to in my tastes. I love Sans, I have honestly got to say, but boy the fandom just uses him so much, I feel they use him like how many times people blink in a day (metaphorically). Keeping this brief, I from the bottom of my heart, think the other characters deserve more fame. Sans is the favorite and known for his fight, but the others are so underrated it's almost as if Sans is a god and they are the pheasants! For example, Alphys, the royal scientist, or the minor characters, such as Greater Dog or Grillby. It pains me to say, but in all technicalities (don't know if that is even a word), Sans is the character used the MOST, second for me being Papyrus, and needs to be used at least 35% or more. Furthermore, Sans, as agreed to this post, is the most overrated character in Undertale.
SPOILERS
They are the same character. I will admi that my favourite UT character (Asriel) is pretty overrated. I mainly put him high up this list because of Flowey.
Flowey is my favorite character, but he is underrated... Papyrus should be at no.2 in my opinion
Well, Flowey IS Asriel, and Asriel's pretty overrated to be honest..
Literally, me in a nutshell
1) I've messed up so much in my life I feel like everyone hates me and that I should give up.
2) I feel like I have to keep lying to make people satisfied.
3) I'm super insecure.
She's the fan-hated character of the game, but I can't get enough of her. Her adorable, relatable and funny dialogue and phone calls, her cutesy romance with Undyne (witch is and will stay the only ship I approve) Her still deep and saddening backstory and struggle with social anxiety and guilt that DOESN'T fall in the cringy "edgy" category... Gosh, she deserves way more credit. Way more than sans at least. Nerd lizard best lizard.
She's literally the hot girl version of Francis from Super Paper Mario.
The recent 35K-word-long smutfic shipping the two of them together proves it
I had to give up geno because of him. Like, he knows your about to absolutely destroy him, and he knows that he will be dead in five minutes, but is he mad? No. He still believes in you, and tries to make friends with you. No wonder sans is mad at you in true geno.
The only reason why I would ever consider him overrated:
Everyone complains that he's underrated.
Papyton.
Is sans' brother.
He is underrated:
Sans overshadows him almost completely.
That's pretty much the only needed reason for underrated.
He's a great character, but I feel like people aren't aware that they're doing a (less extreme) version of what they did to Sans, by making him seem better than he is, or whatever.
Her fans are the most annoying thing on earth next to the Sans fan girls. They basically are trying to force people to like her and trying to shove their 'Chara is good theory' down people's throats. I'm not saying Chara is evil(she is only evil in genocide because you killed everyone). I'm just saying that no matter how you look at it, in her backstory, there is no evidence whatsoever of them having good or bad intentions of killing the humans and that if you have a theory of her being good, it's still a theory and might not be cannon and that you should stop telling people that it is cannon. Those fans need to go hang themselves if they don't respect opinions. Moral: don't force people to like your favourite character and respect their opinions. Well, bye.
Chara should be WAY higher up. This character may be a important backstory character and all that, but Toby didn't put that much work into them like the main Undertale cast. The genocide ending isn't even the main good ending and you can play Undertale over and over without catching more than a mention of them. I see too many feminine anime edgy bloody Charas with knives everywhere. Seriously, can we just leave Chara alone? We don't even know that much about them, and there's absolutely NO indication they were evil!
Ok I like temmie, but shes just another shopkeeper, nobody gives any attention to the snowdin bunny or the turtle in the waterfall, or the nice cream guy, I think temmie is cute too, but wouldn't it be nice to see snowdin bunny fanart for a change fandom?
She may be cute & all, but think about the way she talks & spells her words (I have no intentions with anyone who has a speech disability.).
I can really get behind this one.
Fanart is DISGUSTING. Plus, she didn't forgive Asgore. I know what Asgore did was wrong, but she herself said "while Asgore may be a bad person, he too deserves mercy". Hypocrite.
NU NOT GOAT MOM! Toriel isn't underrated at all! She just wants us to stay with her, be her child. She is pretty lonely in the ruins you know.
She's cool but everyone seems to love her and hate Asgore, that's why I find her overrated. That and the awful ship of "Soriel"...
Gaster feels like a character that is left behind since nobody really visits him . But you can encounter him in the waterfall exhibit while following Sans to Grillby's . W. D Gaster is also believed to be the father... read more
In my personal opinion, we have had WAY too much of Gaster and Sans. Other characters get overshadowed when these two are brought into the conversation. I mean, here's an example: the Wrong Number song. Before it starts, someone says "Hello! Can I speak to G-". So, everyone started making the connection that it was related to Gaster.
Oh right! I can't think of anyone else in the game who's name starts with G! (Grillby, Gerson, Glyde, etc.)
So now the Wrong Number song is being used as evidence for Gaster.
1. If someone wanted to speak to Gaster, would they call him Dr. Gaster?
2. Why would someone be calling someone who has been gone for quite some time and is presumed to have been erased from existence?
Look guys - gaster is a cool character, and its fun creating theories about him. however, it just seems to me that everything somehow just HAS To link to gaster and everyone seems very strict on their own personal headcanons for him, as if that's all he is. personally, all gaster does is confuse me, so I usually leave him out of the picture just a little
Asriel is the child of King Asgore Dreemurr and Queen Toriel, but he seemingly passed away prior to the game's events. His backstory is only focused on in the True Pacifist Route, which means the player does not kill a single character. As a young child, he was a close friend of Chara, a human child who... read more
How is he this low on the list? He should at least be in the top three.
I love him and all, but we see him for like... five minutes as his true self, when he spent the rest of the game trying to kill us. And yet people are willing to sacrifice Frisk's SOUL to save him.
He's cute and tragic and all, but honestly, we only see him for all of five minutes. And yet people still love Asriel enough to want to sacrifice Frisk to save him.
Asriel Dreemurr is a furry. People have no right no hate on So Sorry without hating on Asriel. That's the truth.
At this point, he probably just hates the game.
Literally he needs love like sans is way to over rated just because his puns and how strong he is! (And meganolvia) I really thinks he needs more attention.
He's so underrated. He deserves at least as much love as sans. He so relatable! Even though he's such a side character. Just my opinion, by the way
(ignore my username) but I think he's fairly underrated. He's like alphys. Adorable, relatable, and just a good character, but not many people really like him.
Every time I try to search for his box form, BOOM! There's gotta be an image of Mettaton EX saying "OHH YES! ". Not that I hate it, I love it, it's my favorite, but, the box form should get more attention as well.
I like Mettaton but he's not the best person. He's cool and all but the way he treats Alphys is just awful, not to mention he left his cousin to become famous. Still he's a funny charactre
Who needs arms when you've got legs like those.
Kinda actually underrated if you think about it.
Actually it confirms, that gaster was not Sans and Papyrus's dad but only their creator. Sans and Papyrus were born in tubes in the true lab (aka W.D Gasters old lab) Gaster had finally fount a way to create monsters who were extincted from the war like skeletons since he was the only one left of his kind in the underground the royal scientists recommended they would experiment on soul fragments to try to create an actual monster soul. Gaster called his creations the N-5 They had made 5 souls 3 of them were damaged and would dust soon leaving papyrus sans as the 2 left with the souls. After all this is when Gaster fell into his creation) The Core. Loong story short sans and papyrus managed to escape. If you did not know also their is a secret lab hidden behind sans and papyruses house. If you need any information just ask.
Woah, whenever people talk about UNDERTALE, I never hear him in the slightest. Might be just me, but seriously, he's unpopular
How is burger pants overrated? He's completely the opposite of that!
Okay why tf do people ship him with the Nice Cream guy?
He never gets recognized outside the ship.
A good character...but between her and Alphys, Undyne was definitely the weaker character of the two, no offense.
OK I think all the fans see in her is some sexy lesbian, but there is so much more to her! seriously, this woman made me CHOOSE to be confident,do really, the real Undyne is what is TRULY underrated
I never really cared or thought much of her for some reason.
I honestly love the guy. We don't know if HE necessarily killed every human. UNDYNE could have. Asgore was super depressed that husband kids are dead and Toriel couldn't handle it. He VERY OBVIOUSLY loves her so that's ONE reason I don't like Soriel. Everyone in the fandom hates him for being depressed, yet the fandom LOVES AND WORSHIPS sans even though he's also depressed. This means the fandom are hypocrites. Sometimes I'm embarassed to even LIKE undertale because of the fandom.
I'm sorry, but he is SO underrated. An d he's actually one of the most complex characters! We need more love for poor King Fluffybuns!
The players rarely even learn about him!
I can get behind this.
Error sans looks are a tiny bit creepy and dose "ERROR ATTACKS" and is made out of "ERRORS" and it's the exact same height and everything that sans has and know.
He is even more overrated that Sans... Everybody is going insane if your name is Error Sans in youtube, or you are just some ERRORGuy and an UT fan sees you. or smthn like that.
Not even canon...
You see, apparently Pink is the soul color of fear. Which if anything wouldn't be fear. And besides. As we know, When Frisk goes to a save point she will be filled with "Determination" and Frisk's soul just so happens to be the soul of Determination. So that means when the other 6 humans fell down, if the Green Soul would save, She/He will be filled with "Kindness" and Dark Blue with "Integrity" and so forth. But if we follow this case with Betty, it means when she goes to a save point, she will be filled with "Fear." So she's scared of seeing a Mouse go get some Spaghetti? Anyways, you see, colors have meanings. Toby Fox used these for representations of the soul colors. E.g Red = Determination. And Pink isn't fear. It's passion.
Who the heck put this on here?
Even if she was canon I would have her and 1 or 2
Why is Betty here but not Jessica Grey! NO FAIR. by the way why is Betty is close to the end
1-1 (barely)
I agree. Everyone thinks Frisk is a sweet, innocent cute little roll of kindness that was controlled by cruel, evil, heartless, manipulative chara. STOP. And they're also genderless, so stop that fanart when Frisk is a super hot sexy girl. And Chara didn't control Frisk, you were the one that randomly decided to do a genocide route.
I don't understand why everyone thinks that Frisk is an innocent cinnamon roll who's been possessed by evil Chara.
Chara's not the one who decided to go Genocide.
It was you, the player.
Even when you no longer had the option to SPARE the monsters, you could still close the game, RESET, and go pacifist.
Sorry, that was kinda irrelevant.
Frisk is not more innocent than paps, fandom.
Fandom: aww yeah she is!
Hey you, Jim right there! What gender is frisk?
Jimmy: der a girl
So your saying when you played undertale you played as a girl?
Jimmy: oh...
First of all FRISK IS NOT FEMALE OR MALE. Well they are actually whoever you want them to be but the fandom says that frisk being female is a fact. Second of all THEY ARE SOOO INNOCENT IN FANONGENO. Chara deserves less hate. Frisk is apparently the most innocent ever according to the fans and doesn't deserve to be on any underrated list.
I mean, in the game, he is definitely underrated, having a really unchallenging fight. But you have to admit, for a character who got his own theme but not even a proper boss fight, a ton of people have been drawing fanart for him, making battles and doing remixes. Heck, one of these remixes was used in Undertale Red for the Genocide Route.
Aside from Jerry, So Sorry is probably the most hated character in the game. And I don't know why.
"He's a furry! "
Pretty much everyone in the game is a furry.
"So Sorry's creator forced Toby to put him in the game! "
No. Just, no. So Sorry's creator donated a thousand dollars to a game we all know and love. I guarantee that without that thousand dollar donation, Undertale would be a very different game.
"He's a self insert character! "
So are Temmie and the Annoying Dog, but I don't see you hating on either of them.
"He's fetish art! "
There's no reason to hate on a character for their backstory when it isn't even in the game.
He is a hidden boss (mini boss) in Undertale's Hotland, he attacks not on purpose but on accident, example: he tries to look in his bag (I think) but his tail keeps moving that is becomes an attack.
I think he's underrated. Just because his attacks are hard doesn't make him overrated.
