Flintpaw argues these characters are overrated

Hi! I’m Flintpaw, or Flinty, and I welcome you to my third article! Today, I will be listing 10 cats from Warriors that I think are overrated. Hope you like it!

10. Crowfeather
I mainly think he’s overrated because he was with both Feathertail AND Leafpool. This is why everybody likes him so much, when there is so much more about him. Also, he has his own super edition, which makes people like him even MORE.

9. Feathertail
Everyone likes Feathertail. She “saved” Crowfeather from Sharptooth, and all the cats mourned for her. Crowfeather asked Tallstar to NAME him after her when he probably could’ve saved himself. She is kind of a Mary Sue, as we say.

8. Yellowfang
People like her because they have sympathy for her. She got kicked out of ShadowClan. That really doesn’t sound too bad to me. Her son killed her mate, then he got kicked out of ShadowClan too! I wouldn’t even say she connected with Raggedstar. (not that I’ve read Yellowfang’s Secret) And she KILLED her son. Why would you have sypathy for a murderer?

7. Russetfur
She is loved because of her “boldness” and “seriousness”. SHE WATCHED BERRYNOSE GET CAUGHT IN A FOX TRAP. Then she said it wasn’t her problem. She didn’t even attempt to help him. Just watched him lose his tail.

6. Spottedleaf
Very Mary Sue. Firestar is in the ThunderClan camp for about five seconds and he’s like “oH wHaTs ThAt ReAlLy GoOd SmElL”. BOOM they’re in love. Of course, Spottedleaf is so good-smelling. That’s actually kinda creepy if you ask me. A cat that smells good every time you walk by. Hmm…

5. Silverstream
To be completely honest here, I think Silverstream wasn’t really a good character. She just saved Graystripe from drowning, they became mates, had kits and BOOM. She dead. Then she gave Firestar a life. How nice.

4. Brightheart
She gets so much love because she got her eye ripped out. She is Firestar’s son’s mate, too. It’s mostly the obscene amount of sympathy she gets that makes her overrated.
3. Hollyleaf
Oh, Hollyleaf. She killed Ashfur because he knew her secret, but he tried to kill her,too. Then she TOLD her clan that secret and Hawkfrost killed her in The Great Battle. How heroic.
2. Tawnypelt
Now she just straight up betrayed her clan over a COMMENT FROM AN ELDER. Like, seriously, you go to your killer father’s clan because an old guy told you that you did a bad job. Really.
1. Firestar
Mr. Perfect. Everyone loves him. He is SO Gary Sue that it’s not even funny. He is the most overrated cat in all of Warriors history. He was in love with the creepy-smelling Spottedleaf. Then, he had kits with Sandstorm, but Cinderpelt ALSO loved him. Seriously, Firestar?

I hope you enjoyed my article!

  • Personally I like Russetfur because I just really don’t like Berrynose because he’s that one annoying kit; and I like Yellowfang because she’s cool. I like Hollyleaf because I hated Ashfur and I absolutely think she should be in the prophecy (but I don’t like some her actions). I like Tawnypelt because honestly idk, and I like Firestar because I think he’s the character that gets the story going, and makes people read, and it’s not really his own fault that he was suddenly portrayed as a Gary Sue. But great article!

    • YES! And he’s not a gary stu, people literally put flaws about Firestar and say they’re a BAD THING, and then say he’s a Gary Stu which is LITERALLY the OPPOSITE of WHAT THY JUST SAID. And like you said, it’s not his fault he has an arc, a SE, and the fourth cat.

  • 5-6 cats I agree, but the rest…… RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! Anyways, I don’t get the anti firestar sentiment. The rest make sense, just not Firestar. I also spottedleaf hater, just so you know.

  • I like Feathertail, Firestar, Brightheart and Yellowfang

  • Yellowfang isn’t that bad. I don’t think you know how bad it is to have aa murderer as your son. Also Cloudtail is Firestar’s nephew I think.

  • I agree with most of these except Russetfur , who I don’t like but I don’t think she’s overrated, I also don’t agree with Tawnypelt or Crowfeather but definitely Spottedleaf and Firestar. Yellowfang’s overrated as well. Great article!

  • I disagree with your reasoning on a lot of the characters, but mostly Yellowfang. Yes, Yellowfang got kicked out of the clan, THAT WAS HER HOME. Imagine all of your kin turning their backs on you and losing your home, the place you grew up and was raised in. I have read Yellowfangs secret and she did connect with Raggedstar. She did kill her son, but she did that because she was protecting the other clans, and her son didn’t even know until the end. She made a mistake and Starclan punnished her, so she rid the clans of her punnishment. I do like Yellowfang and always will.

  • I LOVE TAWNYPELT AND DON’T YOU DARE CALL HER A TRAITOR OF THUNDERCLAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i know this is old but people like these characters because of their personalities and inner thoughts. theyre really interesting once you TRY to see through their perspective and analyze their personalities.

  • If we shouldn’t have sympathy for murderers, then we shouldn’t have sympathy for just about half the cats in the Clans, like Graystripe, Hollyleaf, Lionblaze, Firestar, and all the other warriors who killed a cat whose names I don’t remember.
