OVERRATED:
Of course, the two most overhyped characters are the two Ackermans. If the fanboys and fangirls are done cursing me, I'd ask you to read on.
1. Levi: he's not only the most popular in the SnK franchise, but also one of the most popular characters of all time. Why? Simply because he's a badass, A REAL BADASS. Levi, by no means is a bad character. In fact, i think that he's been the catalyst for a lot of other characters' developments. But since the beginning, he's been portrayed as this "perfect" man with little to no room for development. Given that, he is really overhyped. He takes a bit too much spotlight. I know people who started watching the show for Levi and didn't understand anything related to the main plot.
2. Mikasa: mostly for similar reasons as Levi. She's almost as badass as Levi, and the perfect "waifu" material. But one thing that really puts me off is Mikasa's attachment to Eren. She is plainly too attached to him and almost blind to his faults. Well, she does change and accept it later on though.
CORRECTLY RATED
1. Eren: Eren's popularity saw a bombastic growth in season 4 because he no longer has any traces of the typical shounen protagonist who dreamt of big things. Eren is a multi dimensional, extremely well crafted character. He has had impeccable character development throughout the series, and even if you hate his actions, you can't deny how far he has come. I could write a lot more but that would spoil the anime watchers and would get too long. So I'd say that his hype is well deserved.
2. Hange: Hange was a refreshing character who provided a bit of comic relief amongst the gloom of the show. Hange is pretty intelligent and an experiment loving scientist. Either way, they also become a victim, caught up in the disasters and deaths. However, they don't appear to lose hope that easily. Hange is simply a good character. :)
UNDERRATED
1. Erwin: We lost commander erwin in season 3 part II. But his legacy lives on. Erwin was a complex character, with distinct goals and an incredible resolve. All he wanted to do was prove that his father's theory about the titans was correct. He wasn't the least bit afraid to let his men die if it meant a brighter future for humanity, but most importantly, he wanted to achieve his dream. It would be really interesting to see what he would do if he was alive in season 4.
2. Armin: levi mentioned that Armin had the same look in his eyes as Erwin, hence he didn't regret choosing him over Erwin. Armin is very intelligent and equally wise, with a strong sense of right and wrong. He came up with the conclusion of Annie's identity and has displayed several other incredible acts of intelligence throughout the series. Even though he is as close to Eren as Mikasa, he condemned Eren's actions when Mikasa failed. But it finally seems like he is getting the recognition he deserves in the manga.
why do you have Levi in your favorites if you think he is overrated.
