Top 10 Things That Have Gone from Underrated to Overrated

The Top Ten
1 Zootopia

How quickly it made the transition to overrated is quite scary, too.

The time this was "underrated" was barely a week, if that.

2 Final Fantasy

Final Fantasy 4 and 5 were great, and extremely underrated. 6 and 7 are some of the greatest games of all time. 8, 9, and 10 are pretty good. Everything after is extremely overrated garbage.

3 Harry Potter

Hey! At least it deserves to be overrated. I'm sorry if J. K Rowling's writing isn't good enough for your special little souls and I'm really sorry for you if you can't see that Harry Potter is definitely one of the best fantasy series of all time along with Lord Of The Rings and deserves to be.

The first three books and movies were great, but then it went downhill and unfortunately also developed a very rabid fanbase (almost as bad as Frozen) in the process.

It is overrated, that "always" quote is overrated, Snape is way overrated, and that quote and character are part of the reason the series is overrated.

4 Bee Movie

Yes, back in 2015, I called it "the most underrated DreamWorks film of all time" now, with all the YA LIKE JAZZ earrapes and YTPs and Speedups, I can say it is overrated.

5 Mulan

The worst part: Disney made her an official "Disney Princess", despite her not being one by birth or marriage (not even in the original ballad). So now she's on all the Disney Princess merch.

Get past the fact that this stars an Asian woman and you'll see that it's really not that great a movie as Buzzfeed, Upworthy, PopSugar, and all those other sites of that ilk make it out to be. And certainly not "criminally underrated".

It's actually not completely fiction. The story of mulan is based off of a Japanese woman named Hua Mulan.

6 Steven Universe Steven Universe is an American animated television series created by Rebecca Sugar for Cartoon Network. The show's based around a young boy by the name of Steven Universe, who is a hybrid of a gem and a human. He lives with his gem friends, Garnet, Amethyst and Pearl.

It's the SJWs and their "Yay space lesbians! Representation, yo! " that drove this into overrated territory.

I don't like the fanbase. They force feed me this.
Also I'm not interested on this cartoon
But I told you what the fans did to me

Yeah, the animation is lazier than other RDK/Korean-American Animation products.

It was always overrated

7 EarthBound

Not overrated. If you think it is then you're looking at it from the wrong angle.

8 Chrono Trigger

It was never underrated.

9 Super Smash Bros.

I can kinda say yes. Nobody really cared about Smash 64, but when Nintendo started being all mysterious with Project M and hyping it up then everybody LOVED it. So no one really cared about SSB until Melee. This can kinda go in this list, but then the "Smash Bros infatuation" started like 15 years ago so it doesn't really belong here.

No. To start it off, it isn't THAT overrated.

10 Bayonetta

Fun fact: she didn't actually win the Smash Ballot. Sora did. She didn't even place second. Banjo & Kazooie did. Sakurai himself has since admitted this.

The Contenders
11 The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Yep. It's very overrated, even though MANY other Disney movies are more well known than this one. Barley anyone even knows this movie.

"Barely anyone even knows this movie" How, when raving about it seems to be a requirement for having Internet access at all?

So many have come out in support for this allegedly "underrated" movie that it's no longer underrated.

12 Among Us

Why did it take two years for this game to become popular? It's essentially the Fortnite of indie games.

13 Splatoon
14 Treasure Planet

When three-quarters of Tumblr cries about how underrated something is, it's no longer underrated let alone "so sadly underrated".

Anyone who still wants to insist on how underrated this is, call me when there's no more Jim/Ariel fanart, manips, or videos to be found.

15 Undertale

To XanderMartin98:please understand that an awful lot of people hate this game by now and I personally think that this game is bland and overrated by now. I think that it might should be somewhat higher because of this.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet the new Homestuck.

It's so overrrated like its everywhere if you look up genocide I guarantee you that youll see undertale its everywhere and to be honest shouldn't have won game of the year... Feels good to get that off my chest

This is even more overrated than FNAF! Deltarune too, but just as overrated as Undertale is.

16 Diana, Princess of Wales Diana, Princess of Wales (born Lady Diana Frances Spencer; 1 July 1961 - 31 August 1997), was the first wife of Charles, Prince of Wales, who is the eldest child and heir apparent of Queen Elizabeth II, and the mother of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex. She married Prince Charles on 29 July 1981, and separated from him in 1992 before finally divorcing him in 1996. She was killed in a car crash on 31 August 1997.

People are making memes, comments, posts, etc decrying the Queen's death because of her. E.g. "I don't care that the Queen died because of Diana", "Diana would have probably worn her 'revenge dress' to the funeral", a cartoon of Diana latching the gates to Heaven so the Queen can't get in", that sort of thing.

Ahh, old story new exclamation, she can be called under rated in the early-mid 90s, but after she died in 1997, she became overrated and I would consider her overrated in the "NOOT" (National Organization of Overrated Things) in 2000. She did not just get around 5 movies, but 2 T.V. specials, more news articles than Fidget Spinners last august and still is in thumbnails on articles talking about British Women.

17 Freakazoid! Freakazoid! is an American animated television series created by Bruce Timm and Paul Dini and developed by Tom Ruegger for the Kids' WB programming block of The WB.
18 Animaniacs Steven Spielberg Presents Animaniacs is an American animated comedy television series produced by Amblin Television label in collaboration with Warner Bros.
19 Yandere Simulator

This piece of *bleep* is so bad, there's literally nothing worse than it. NOTHING. I'm not kidding. I've seen little kids playing it, now they're all gonna become stalkers and murderers. The whole game itself, PURE CANCER. No words can describe how much I HATE this piece of crap.
Seriously? Stalking some guy who doesn't like you? Stealing stuff? Licking a rotten apple? Killing? Messed up. This game should be banned from Earth and the developer of it executed a slow and painful death, his body burned and sent to the depths of hell to perish and be under eternal torture.

I doubt this is THAT overrated. If you look at the haters you'll see. It's also not YadereDev's fault that kids play it. It's some of the parent's fault because they let their kids play this type of game.

Yes, I hate the fact people think that this train wreck is brilliant. It really isn't brilliant because of 1. It's stupid glitches. 2. Cancerous voice acting. 3. Not. Enough. References. To. Other. Games. Like. tLoZ

20 Suicide Squad

It got poor reviews but everyone loves it, including me.

21 Apple Electronics
22 Frozen

It actually went from neither underrated nor overrated to overrated to over-hated.

It went from Overrated to Underrated more like.

It was always overrated.

23 Gravity Falls Gravity Falls is an American animated television series produced by Disney Television Animation that first aired on Disney Channel, and then on Disney XD from June 15, 2012 to February 15, 2016.

24 Toadette Toadette is a character in the Mario series. She is a female Toad who first appeared in the Nintendo GameCube video game Mario Kart: Double Dash.
25 Rocko's Modern Life Rocko's Modern Life is an American animated television series created by Joe Murray for Nickelodeon. The series centers on the surreal life of an anthropomorphic Australian-immigrant wallaby named Rocko as well as his friends: the gluttonous steer Heffer, the neurotic turtle Filburt, and Rocko's faithful dog Spunky.

Why is this here?

Ironically, this show has actually become even MORE overrated than Ren & Stimpy

(edit: disregarding the obvious advantage it has of actually being a legitimately great show)
