What do you think about popular villagers? Do you love them like others people, or do you think some are overrated?

I love all the popular villagers, they're so cute! In fact, Marshal is one of my favorite villagers, so cute!! <3 So I don't think they're overrated at all, they're popular for a reason. I do think more villagers should be popular though. Many of my favorites are tier 4/5.
 
Thoughts? People should just respect each other's villager preferences. No need to say "_____is so overrated." Because it can hurt feelings.
 
I agree. However, I'm not entirely into Marshal and Merengue. I think Filbert is cuter than Marshal, but I do see why people like those villagers. Some of them just aren't my cup of tea, mostly because I prefer villagers with a more pure design instead of being based on something.

But there are quite a few tier ones who I adore! (bam, phoebe, FAUNA, Lolly)

Merengue is overrated, in my opinion. But, I do love Julian because he moved into my first town, I had no idea he was even popular. But then my town got wiped somehow. But that being said, I love my villagers not due to popularity, just because I've had a history of them in my towns. :)
 
not another one of THESE threads again.

I don't really think it's one of those threads. Nobody is bashing a villager, OP is just asking how others feel about popular villagers.

In all honesty, I don't even know why these threads are that terrible. Sure they're common, but unless you're being downright rude about it, I think it's fine to express your opinion on a villager. People get downright NASTY over top tiers on TBT and that's kinda annoying too. I like hearing people's opinions on the top tiers, myself, as long as everyone is respectful about it.
 
If you think someone is overrated, you're allowed to say it. I don't see why not. If you're bothered by opinions of others about villagers, don't read this thread, simple.
 
They're lots of villagers I think are overrated, such as Marshal and Merengue, whom I don't really like, but I can still see why people would really like them. They're also a lot like Phoebe, Stitches, Beau, Lolly, etc. who I think are really adorable and deserve their popularity. It's simply a matter of opinion.

No one can really agree with each other. One will always comment about baahing a villager, so a fight breaks out. You don't know what to expect. I like hearing out opinions too and I respect them, but sometimes there's always this person that is way rude.

Thank you! Jeez, if someone so much as peeps their opinion about a top tier, all hell breaks loose, but if it's about a tier 4 or 5 it's completely acceptable.

no, its not acceptable for any tier
because no matter what tier it is these threads always go down in flames since nobody can have a mature casual conversation about them

Why don't we all sit down and discuss our opinions about the current events, eh? Seems more interesting.
But seriously, heed Shirohibiki's words. This thread is probably going to end in a flame war. Because not everybody agrees with each other.

Yeah, that's true... I just don't understand what's wrong with having a respectful opinion. Everything ends in a fight if someone mentions something about a villager.

respectful opinions are the best kind, but for some people the concept is difficult to grasp, which is why it leads to fights. ive said my piece so all i can really do now is just maybe take a nap lol

g'luck friendos
 
All I wanted was to hear people's opinions, I didn't think my second thread on TBT would turn into this. I'm sorry.

Don't apologize! You did absolutely nothing wrong. Don't mind the ruckus... people just get ornery over simple opinions of villagers on this site. It's probably my only complaint about TBT. For the future though, I would avoid threads that have anything to do with villager opinions, just because some people can't seem to handle it.
 
Meh, I like some, I don't like others.
In the end it's about personal preferences.
Popular villagers arise because a lot of people have similar tastes I guess when it comes to aesthetics.
I don't think people want theses villagers BECAUSE they are popular.
