This is a guest post written byย Red Tomato, a Poptropican whoโll be sharing a โPop 5โ list of Poptropica characters who take up too much of the spotlight among the fan community. Enjoy!
Hi everyone! It’s Red Tomato and today I have the sequel to my Pop 5: Most Underrated Characters from last week. This list is all about the overrated charactersโthe ones who get a little too much attention. Let’s go!
#5: Zeus
Zeus aka Spruce aka Moose aka Santa Claus is the Greek god who is the main villain of Mythology, Super Villain, and Greek Sea Odyssey. This deity is probably one of the most popular characters in the fan community. It’s easy to see why, though! Just look at that beard!
#4: Balloon Boy
No, not the one from “Five Nights at Freddy’s,” but the kid from Counterfeit Island! Ever since you gave that a boy a balloon and he floated away, we’ve caught glimpses on him, still in the sky, in the island adventures that followed. Is he still up there? We may never know….
#3: *gasp* Your character?
Think about it… most of the fan art and fanfics in the Pop fandom are about somebody’s own Poptropica character! (Also known as someone’s “Popsona,” or Poptropica persona.) Anyway, my Poptropican (Red Tomato ๐ ) is very happy to make it on this list!
#2: Dr. Hare
Ah yes, the first Poptropica villain besides the Early Pop spiders and Booga shark. This furryโI mean, mad scientistโgets second most overrated because, well, he’s everywhere! His hometown island, 24 Carrot, was re-made twice: once for SUI format on Pop Original and more recently on Pop Worlds. He also appears on the Daily Pops, in countless fan art pieces, and even Super Villain Island!
And now… the number one most overrated Poptropica character is…
THE CRAB FROM TIME TANGLED!!!
JUST KIDDING!
#1: Shark Boy (aka Shark Guy)
It was tough to pick between this guy and Dr. Hare, but I think Sharky deserves the #1 spot because this guy has been around longer than Dr. Hare. And don’t forget the whole Mystery of Shark Boy drama! Shark Boy, do do do do do do do…
Well, that was my Pop 5 list of most overrated Poptropicans! This post is not meant to be negative, but rather to point out some of the more popular characters. Bye!
