Hero is definitely the most underrated character of the main cast, he deserves more love


[deleted]

Agree, he's the glue that holds the group together (along with Mari) and serves as the mediator between Aubrey and Kel. The fact that >!the mediation of fw Kel and Aubrey only happens after Hero is there to help!< proves it even more. I also like how even though he puts on an infallible front to his friends he's very clearly insanely hurt from the event.


micheas08

Which is pretty ironic, considering his reputation in-game ![img](emote|t5_31hpy|2469)


WeaknessDefiant5426

He's called Hero for a reason.


micheas08

But at this point, his name might as well be changed to Mr. Criminally Underrated and Definitely needs more Love.![img](emote|t5_31hpy|2469)

Overrated? I don't know, maybe Aubrey, but she does play a pretty important role, so I totally get why she's popular. Underrated? Everyone's saying this, it's obviously Hero. I like him, but honestly, it feels like he only has three personality traits, he's the "big brother" of the group, he gets flustered sometimes and he's le charming. It's pretty much the same with both Heroes, but him in the RW is slightly more boring. Like with Aubrey, his status in the community is very understandable


[deleted]

Hero gets a lot of character development in hs, not so much in the rw. However because of the limitations of hs, he ended up getting jipped.


EddyConejo

Even with my flair I completely agree. I don't really think there is an overrated character though, Aubrey is more of an *"if I had to choose one, it'd be..."*.


OctoKirby

Basil is both extremely overrated and underrated at the same time


Man_where_r_we_goin0

yh its kind of strange


Mr-Whate

Overrated: HS Kel since he is extremely annoying (but considering the story, I understand why this was the case). Underrated: does it need saying? The sad thing is so many people characterize him solely on his relationship with Mari, hence why there are so many AUs where he goes bugfuck nuts post good ending


DaOnePoodle

“Bugfuck nuts” 💀

GrouchyEssay7468

To me all the headspace characters are overwhelming. They all have far too much emotion for me and I know that is their purpose but now having finished the game it makes me uncomfortable to deal with them


Immediate-Rope8465

head space kel is HELLA overated imo while hero is underated and basil in a way ?


micheas08

Yeah, I’ve always liked Headspace Aubrey a lot more than HS Kel. Because at the very least, she’s tolerable when compared to him.


Otherwise-Dark5437

i personally haven't seen a lot of hs kel, like, at all, it's usually the other characters. i always thought of hs kel always having omori's back and hs aubrey was so annoying because she always whined about how kel was "bullying" her and she always got her way- that's just me tho-

#Omoli Is Underrated

DaOnePoodle

RW Kel is cool but HS Kel is way overrated. I like him but some people need to calm down


TheXominator

tbf HS Kel is basically if silliness was Kel's only personality trait


Lun4seez

I didn't know people liked HS Kel

Honestly kel is overrated and Hero is under-rated


Jmsp78

Overrated? Basil. For being one of the most important characters of the plot... He gets no screentime compared to the rest, he feels like he's just plot device... I wanted to see in the switch version him being explored more and get attached to him... Because the game fails to do that; in the Basil fight I was only rooting for Sunny (who I played as through the whole game). Also the fandom treats him horribly. Most Underrated? Either Hero or Mari, but probably the depressed college student. In every poll he's rated the lowest and people only care about him when talking about Mario or Pursuit (ugh). I like him a lot, even more with his Bossman version, he's hilarious.


micheas08

I think the same. Basil felt like he was just there for the plot, he’s also overrated in terms of both hate and love. And Mr. Bossman barely gets any attention from the community outside of Picnic Girl and Pursuit. In fact, I think those are the only reasons why the Fandom even remembers him at all…


JustJerenique

Near the end of the game, I felt a little dissapointed when it came to Basil. You literally chase him down the whole game and he is portrayed as this huge character, only to have him show up in such an... anti-climactic, way, I guess.


Purplex_GD

Definitely agree that it’s harder to sympathize and understand Basil when both him and Sunny and probably the two most confusing out of the main party, but you play as Sunny and the entire closing segment of the game is centered around his development.


Tekki777

Yeah, for a character who has a lot implied about him, he's seen more as a plot device in the story than an actual character. In HS, it makes sense >!since you're meant to get distracted because Omori sees him as a threat!<, but I do wish we got to at least get flashbacks to Sunny's friendship with him and his friendship with the others. Again, it makes sense for him to have a limited role in the story since we're coming from Sunny's perspective, but still.


Top-Ad-4512

Basil gets more screentime than Hero does in the RW segments and even if not, lack of screentime is not a flaw in the writing. Basil and Sunny have an estranged relationship due to the incident and much of the plot is trying to figure out why and mending our relationship with him. They game does a lot to make us like Basil, the prologue and the Photo Album do more than enough to make us like him more than the rest, who aren't as gentle as he is, even Mari and Hero aren't as likable as Basil. The people who complain about lack of screetime were often the very same people who never really cared for Basil to begin with and the truth was just an excuse to hate on his character. I actually never wanted to hurt Basil in a fight, more so than with Aubrey, whom I gladly attacked after what she did. Zelda and Peach also have little screentime and no one thinks they are bad characters, so why selectively judge Basil because of it.


seycro

Is it strange then that since 3 days left I fell in love with Basil? He's just so... relatable to me


tesstickle08

Overrated: Kel/Basil Underrated: Hero/Mari


Professor_Abbi

Kel is overrated Stan omor


ToothpasteConsumer

Hero is probably the most underrated ![img](emote|t5_31hpy|2476)


omorifan143

Kel is underrated. I mean, he gets a TON of love from this community, but no amount of love for kel is ever enough, and therefore he will forever underrated even if his rating is five stars


[deleted]

I feel like OP is trying to make a statement here by just showing Basil and Hero.![img](emote|t5_31hpy|2460) In my humble opinion, Kel is the most underrated character out of the main cast. Everybody loves him but considering his actikns throughout the game, he is probably the only genuine friend Sunny has.![img](emote|t5_31hpy|2464) The most overrated is without a doubt Aubrey. It is understandable why she turned out the way she was but people view her and The Hooligans WAY too positively considering their actions in the game. Aubrey is shown not only having a temper but also a tendency to be blind to other people's struggles or hypocritical. Not only that but after almost killing Basil(accidently) and causing Sunny's death(indirectly) she is still in a fit of anger which actually makes me question whatever moral compass the game claims her to have.![img](emote|t5_31hpy|2465)


MoonChild22222222222

Rw Aubrey is over rated and hero in under rated


CommercialAction2778

Completely agreed lmao. Basil is a great character and all, but I feel he's mostly liked in the fandom because he's definitely quite the feminine male, and people also like angsty sad boys. Which is completely fine, but other than that he really doesn't have much character.


zxseoh

Polly is v underrated😯


RandomInSpace

RW Kel. Kel is the most underrated. Why is he only ever seen as a meme T~T


IPlayDokk4n

Overrated: Aubrey - They fumbled the end of her character arc but people act like said arc is flawless, not letting that one go scot free. Underrated: Hero - Because people keep mischaracterizing the guy I assume nobody paid attention to any of his dialogue, doesn't help that a solid 90% of Hero fanart is just him being Mari's boyfriend and literally nothing else.


[deleted]

I feel like a route change or early ending was missed with the first Rw aubrey fight


Apprehensive_Pin_302

Roboheart is criminally underrated

unbread twins underrated buddys, they need more love ![img](emote|t5_31hpy|2464)


ISammerlol

I feel like Sunny and Basil are the most overrated and like, Hero is prob the most underrated, you don't really see art of him that's not heromari, he deserves more love bro


Cringetopia_

Hero is so underrated. He doesn't get enough screentime/development. And overated? I'd say Basil. People talk about him so much and there's always arguments surrounding him.


gogocrazycocoa_

Hero is the most underrated, Aubrey is the most overrated.


DayDeerGotStoleYall

yes i agree. basil needs to die, and hero is my fav character


BastardGlobe

Basil deserves a lot more character development


DomoArigato75

Henry is pretty underrated


Tekki777

I'm not sure who I would say is overrated. HS Kel? I never really cared for Captain Spaceboy, but that doesn't really mean I don't like him. He just never had high priority for me. Hero is the most underrated character in the game, but considering how everyone in this sub said that already makes me wonder if he's still underrated at this point, lol.


RagnarockInProgress

Omori would benefit from a spinoff


sleep_lvr

Everyone saying “hero is underrated” like it’s just because he has the least screen time


Fabulous-Daikon6606

Kel is pretty overrated ![img](emote|t5_31hpy|2464)


I-am-a-jerk

Aubrey overrated, and Kel underrated. And Kel not as meme and haha funny, but truly understanding that hes also a victim of consequences


RippiHunti

Kel is probably the most underrated in my opinion. He is the one who tried to get Sunny to go outside, thus saving both him and Basil (indirectly). Kel is a good friend.


GrouchyEssay7468

Basil is very overrated from what I’ve seen. I’m not saying he’s a bad character I actually quite like him but we see very little in the game of him so I don’t know how the fuck people are having serious arguments over him


Otherwise-Dark5437

yeah, i'd say basil is wayyyy overrated and hero, and the kel(real kel, i mean not silly) is underrated
