It's like all of Asriel/Flowey's forms are meant to represent black and white parts of one characters, Flowey is soulles manipulative being, his God of Hyperdeath form is the one who wants to be stuck destroying us forewer and his original, child form represents his innocent and helpless side. I agree with people who said he's sort of one dimensional character, if we look from that aspect he is.

As for Sans, I get it what's likeable about him: he has cool character design, he's funny, he's lazy but depressed (which releates to most of people), when we don't hurt anyone, he's chill and friendly with us, but judges us harshly if we kill... He's also not what he seems when we first meet him, which leaves the shock/surprise to the viewer. But, it's also easy to be annoyed by him, especially because of fandom. It's easy to say he gets most of the attention out of all characters, despite unexplained backstory and is portrayed as the angstiest and edgiest despite other characters also have problems which are actually explained in the game. He also has the most difficult battle in the game, but that doesn't stop the fans to make AUs where he's even more OP than he actually is (which get lots of popularity btw) and all those theories about him being unique from everyone else in the game are crazy popular despite little canon information about him. It's easy to say he's turning into Mary Sue. It's easy to get fatigue of character like that, it's understandable...

In conclusion, I'd say Flowey/Asriel is sort of one dimensional character with a well explained backstory, while Sans has more dimensions to his character and is quite interesting, but every hint about his backstory gives more questions than answers, and even if Toby reveals his story, it might leave to mass dissapointment because of so many different theories from fans who act like they know. Sans is cool, nothing against him, but tbh, the whole thing about him feels like he's just playing with us.
