Boo and humbug.
How is the little prince overrated?
He's not some huge pop icon.
Oh unless, is he some huge pop icon where you're from?
It was a global success (translated into over 500 languages and has sold over 140 million copies). That doesn't seem like much compared modern movies or TV shows, but for a book those are really good numbers. Dr. Seuss sold over 600 million books but that's spread over 60 different titles. Could be a generational thing. I remember seeing "The Little Prince" in a lot of homes in the 80s.
I'm curious what they think is overrated about the little Prince.
Me, too. It's an interesting choice.
Everyone on Rick and Morty.
They're not supposed to be likeable, they're supposed to be entertaining.

I liked him in Mistborn at least. After that, well. Jury’s out.
While I enjoy him, I get this one. He is a hero who would be the villain in any other story, so if you see through him he can be pretty unpalatable.

He will make a great villain. (Or already is from one series perspective)
Depends if you like your morally gray characters I guess.

There are a few companions in Mass Effect that seem to inspire a way stronger reaction from other fans and I don't totally get it. Like, I like Thane, and I'm sad about what happens to him, but some people are SO into him and I don't get it. I also love Tali and restarted my first nearly complete playthrough when I realized I couldn't save her and Legion, but there are fans who are full on obsessed. Then again, my love for Garrus can't be contained, so I'm sure some people don't get that.
At least we can all agree that Ashley and Kaiden are the worst, right?
John Constantine. The snarky smartass that has the most plot armor of any character.
Long John Silver
Aside from Tim Curry's rendition in Muppet Treasure Island. Pure gold.
