Some characters get all the love… but do they really deserve it? In this episode, Jim and Zach dive into the Most Overhyped Characters in Fantasy. From beloved heroes to so-called legends of the genre, we’re putting names on the table and asking the tough question: Are they really that good, or is the fandom just a little too obsessed?

Don’t get us wrong — many of these characters are great! But today, we’re roasting the ones whose hype might just outweigh their actual impact. Expect some hot takes, some debate, and probably a little outrage in the comments.

💬 Who do you think is the most overhyped character in fantasy? Drop your picks down below — and feel free to tell us why we’re wrong (we know you will).
