I agree with Is Asriel the Best?'s statement. I like Sans, but I don't understand why the Undertale fandom's so obsessed with him. He's always portrayed as "tortured and angsty" when he's obviously not.

I also find Asriel to be kinda one-dimensional. Not that I hate him, I just hate how the fans see him as a perfect cinnamon roll that wouldn't harm a fly and completely ignore the fact that he held all the monster's souls, including his parents and friends, hostage while trapping a child into an infinite loop of time. Plus: everything he did as Flowey.

Disagree with me all you want, but I think Flowey should've just stayed as a soulless, sociopathic flower. The trope of the villian once being a happy-go-lucky child is what ruined the plot of Five Nights at Freddy's for me, and the only thing that I disliked about the True Pacifist ending. (well, that and Toriel being a bit too harsh on Asgore) In all honesty, I would've prefered Flowey and Asriel being two seperate characters and that kinda like the "Chara is the narrator/one influencing Frisk to kill" theory, Asriel is like Flowey's narrator and trying to get him to do good while Flowey's doing bad things. Would've been much more interesting in my opinion. I don't have anything against twist/sympathetic antagonists, but it's rare to see traditional bad guys these days in the world media.

As for my most-liked character, that's a tough one. Picking your favorite character in this game feels like picking your favorite child. I'd have to probably say Undyne though, because of her tough, yet silly and kindhearted personality and her character development of going from misanthropist to realizing that humans are worth protecting as much as monsters are. I also like Asgore and Toriel since I'm a huge sucker for motherly/fatherly-type characters.
