Overrated Villager

[Santana]

Do yall have any villagers you think are overrated? I think that Marshal’s design is cute but kinda boring

I'm getting Marshall on Wednesday so hopefully I'll see what the big deal is about him lol

Honestly my opinion is Raymond is way overrated... Idk why he's super popular. Probably his aesthetic. But I def think he's overhyped.

I feel the same with Audie and Raymond. I can kinda see why people would like Raymond, but not /that/ much
Audie just feels straight up boring to me, only cute thing is the story about her ><

I'm hopping aboard the Raymond train. I get that he's hipster design to appeal to the teen girls but still.

I'm also going with Diana. Her eyes are weird.

As well as Beau. I remember he was popular in NL days and I just never understood it.

I like raymond, i think he’s pretty cool. I just dont like him enough to have him on my island

 

[maple22]

I like him enough, but Raymond is undeniably highly overrated. And I thought Marshal’s popularity was over the top...
I also like Merengue, but she’s absolutely nothing special, especially compared to other normal villagers. Then again, she’s one of 2 or 3 decent rhinos, so she definitely has that going for her.
And I don’t really understand Phoebe’s appeal. I prefer Fuchsia.

 

[Spooky.]

None of them, really. Some of them I might not personally get the hype, but I can usually see why people like a villager, and they are usually popular for a reason.

I gotta say Raymond and Julian immediately come to mind. Merengue as well (I probably butchered her name though yikes).

I love Raymond, don't get me wrong, but he is ridiculously overhyped. Selling him for $1000? Nah man imma head out

Marshal too, I never really liked him that much.

I don't get why Sherb is so popular. To me, he's just a blue goat. He's not bad or anything just uninteresting to me.

Also don't like villagers where their schtick is that they're designed to be too cute. Judy, Chrissy, Bunnie, cookie, Dom, Peanut, Apple are ones I don't care for.

 

[Lucky22]

Hmmm overated necessarily doesn't mean bad in my book but! I'm kinda getting bored of seeing beau like everywhere lol KINDA feel the same way about stitches but my lil sis ADORES him and his design is cute enough so idk ill learn to like him more! but beau on the other hand... he deserves his popularity he's cute but erik is much more interesting to me in terms of lazy deer villagers

Marshal (I have him, I don't get the hype)
Raymond, as soon as I seen him..I knew he would become Marshal 2.0.
Poppy, I like her..but she's always picked over the other normal squirrels because she's a sweetheart. um..Sally, Caroline, Sylvana and Cally are the say way..they're normal villagers...(she's also not that special other than her looks.)
Diana (The same as Marshal).

Francine and Chrissy, only when they're together.

 

[SmoochsPLH]

I think Raymond is overrated in the same since that Marshal was when he first came out. Good grief people wanted so many bells for him and the same things happening with Raymond. I understand though both are pretty cute (tho Raymond's not my cup of tea)!

i think the overrated hype everyone feels about raymond, audie, sherb and probably all the new villagers is simply bc they're new. its like.. when the new iphone comes out everyone wants to buy it (yeah apple is overrated lol worst op in my opinion)

• raymond does look very unique, he has a unique aesthetic of being an office cat and is the only cat with heterochromia
• audie is also very pretty, she has this hawaiian feel to her like she's always on vacation, almost the polar opposite of raymond
• sherb is so soft, its not about being "boring" but more or less having a "minimalist" design and how soft he looks
• judy is pretty much the only one i really dont see the appeal in, im guessing its the ombre fur and anime eyes, but she just looks a tad scary to me lolrip

aside from the new ones, i think maybe marshal is really overhyped like it hasnt died out lol but to each their own i guess, it doesnt matter whether or not what you like is over or underrated, doesnt take or add value to your interests

edit: forgot to mention that i really have no interest in having any of them, im literally still with the 10 i started with and got kinda attached to them all hahaha

I actually have judy in my town and I adore her with every fiber in my body, but I ABSOLUTELY understand the creepy factor of the anime eyes

I think I want to add that a lot of villagers are overrated in comparison to some of the lower-tier characters. I think AC communities have a problem with coalescing around "desired" villagers and either subconsciously or consciously favor those villagers. Not to bash anyone's preferences or anything! It's just that I feel like this sort of effect leads to plenty of nice villagers not getting the love and attention at an equal level.

There are so many villagers that have dreamy potential if given the chance ngl

I know! There are a lot of cool villagers that don't get the chance to shine because a lot of people want S and A tier villagers so badly (and I must admit, this can include me at some points too).

Eh I dunno, most popular villagers are popular for good reasons imo.

I’d say Raymond is overpriced, not overrated specifically. Well, I guess when people act like he’s the single best villager, miles ahead of everyone else, that seems overrated to me. I definitely think he deserves a top ten spot, but he’s not better, cuter, cooler or more unique than most other high tier villagers.
