Unfortunately, her shiptease seems to be the main reason. I definitely think she's a good character, better than Mariana and ultimately Jane in fact, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I believe her popularity is mostly based around how easy she is.
I may have been living under a rock to ask this, but why do people admire Carley so much? Is it because people shipped her with Lee? I find her rather overrated

Because they're vaguely similar characters to me: attractive, hypercompetent, and/or easy to like, shallowly appealing types. Not that that is inherently a bad thing.
Granted, it really is a reason I don't really like Mariana as much as a lot of people do, but still no biggie; just a little nitpick that makes me go "Really now? Uh-huh...okay."
Well, they are not the similar to me. I don't find Carley that likeable. Mariana shallowly appealing? She is not, but hey, it's your opinion. I always liked her more than Clementine. Mariana is chill lol. I like her sardonic mannerisms. She is also perceptive.
In Season 1 I just couldn't connect with Clementine. She was that perfect child everybody loves. People blame Duck, who is her age, for Shawn's death, but when Clementine gets Lee killed, everybody comes up with excuses, because it's Clementine.
Poor Ben and Duck get shit for getting characters killed, but they are children and make mistakes.
In general, I love the children in The Walking Dead - Ben, Duck, Sarah, Mariana, Gabe.
You know, Carl in the comic books is like Gabe and is a very well-liked character. He is probably my favourite in the comics (and more likeable than Clementine, in my opinion).

Oh no, they're very different characters, no mistake me! I'm just saying they all have that small quality about them and it gets increasing ridiculous with each proceeding one, it seems.
I don't find Carley that likeable.
Understandable, and yet I feel why she's probably the best character of the three. Hell, that may even be part of it considering one of the reasons why I don't like or outright hate a select few characters.
Mariana shallowly appealing? She is not, but hey, it's your opinion.
What I mean is that the whole "Hot Uncle looks cool talking to his cute niece" thing was a bit much, given this series' reputation for interesting and sympathetic but flawed and realistic characters. Plus, conceptual speaking, she can be seen as being Clementine with Sarah's ethnicity, so that's like a multitude of three different issues in and of itself.
I'm normally not the type to be dismissive or judgmental about most characters, but for some reason, she just elicited a negative blank early one. I think I'd still prefer Gabe even if that didn't happen, though.

Really now? That's interesting.
Personally, I think some of Clementine's praise was well-deserved, as she was a genuinely likable individual in and of herself who provided a significant contribution to Season 1 being the experience it was and the idea of this sweet little girl having to grow up and survive in a post-apocalyptic world is indeed interesting.
I do think some of her fans can get a little overbearing about her at times, but I try not to let that stuff bother me since it's a problem with them rather the character herself. Though it has gotten a little too ridiculous as of late considering her current incarnation.
Mariana is chill lol. I like her sardonic mannerisms. She is also perceptive.
Yeah, admittedly, what little characterization she did have did make her seem like the apathetic but mild-mannered type, which is kinda nice to have around in tenser stories.
Poor Ben and Duck get shit for getting characters killed, but they are children and make mistakes.
I'll at least point that the brilliance behind Ben is that he, someone stuck between the limitations of childhood and the responsibility of adults, legitimately did something wrong that had a lot of terrible results despite his good intentions.
I do agree that the hate Duck got was a little understandable at first, but overexaggerated; the fact that he's intentionally meant to be the opposite of Clementine(AKA Not the Greatest Child Character in VG History) is unfortunate though.

Just look at the way she is holding that weapon on the cover for EP1! She is ready to kill them walkers!
Yeah, I was under the assumption that she and Gabe have combat training, but rarely use it. Come to think, I suppose it would be something if Gabe got the temper, but Mariana got the killing instinct.
I wanted to see her interactions with Kate, too. They seem to have a positive relationship.
Yeah, I guess. Though Thicker than Water more or less confirmed my theory that, while Mariana may gotten along with everyone well enough, Javier and Kate were more or less playing favorites with her and Gabe respectively, not that any of them really cared.
Gabe is also caring towards her, like how every older brother should be. Him and Mariana would make a great brother/sister duo.
That's pretty much one of the few pieces of novelty to her that I saw: the only thing I saw (and to a certain degree, wanted) her being was a satellite character to the rest of the family, given how seemingly well-adjusted she is compared to them.
Couldn't Badger just injure her?? Ghhhrrrmehrghrr
Yeah, while I didn't really like her myself, I have went on record saying I wouldn't outright killed her then and there. Really, she should've been the one they were trying to get help for; I think the story would've went over a lot better for people if that was the case.
Though, Badger is the only character I cannot understand . He murdered Mariana for the lols it seems.
Well that and she happened to be out in the open when he decided to ambush them. He's just an obvious piece of shit that's there to get the plot rolling by doing things Max wouldn't do, when you get down to it. Thankfully, the story mostly used that to it's advantage since it's the effect his actions have on the Garcias and Conrad that matters..
I really like her in S1, but S2 ruined her for me. And now ANF...
Yeah, she's probably #4 in terms of ANF characters I don't particularly care for. To be fair, I thought most of her portrayal in Season 2 was understandable, but I obviously don't really like the whole Edgy!Clem movement and especially some of the shit Carver and Jane was encouraging.
Beautifully said. You know, so much was scrapped about him that would have gotten him less hate...
True, though I'd argue the details around his history with the bandits still works in the context of what we ended up with anyway, so at least that can easily work.
Aye! So, you will give the comics a try?
What things? If it's not a problem to ask.
This gif of Orihime looks low quality framerate and resolution wise.
Anyway, there were comparisons to him with Gabe I saw floating around and I know he was a really hardheaded boy who got people killed because he wouldn't listen and I also recall at least one person claiming he didn't care about any of that. Also, he apparently has his first time with an older girl in truck. Which I guess I'd actually okay with at some point, it's just one of those things where you naturally squinch your eyes up and do an open mouthed sneer when you hear/see it, particularly when it's not in a porno or fanfic.
I may consider getting into the comics one day when I have the time, money, and interest, though what I've seen so far isn't very encouraging concept and quality-wise.
Btw, did you check out that fanfic I told you about? (TWDG: Tables Turned) (It's ok if you didn't, I am just curious)
To be honest sugah, I completely forgot you even mentioned one. I think I vaguely recall doing a search for it though, so I at least tried.

It's ridiculous. Her feelings for Ichigo do not bring down her character. Orihime has eccentric hobbies which make her unique and interesting. She is not all about Ichigo, unlike Misa Amane, whose character is defined by Light Imagay-- I meant Yagami!
Oh yes, the ending. Well, it's rushed, that's for sure. The magazine, Shonen Jump, forced Kubo to wrap it up quickly while Kubo wanted to do other things, like showing us the war between Gotei 13 and the Quincies. I heard he was also very sick.

Oh, just like his plans for Tatsuki and the other clanmates before the Soul Society Arc--that explains it! But in general, the fact that there is an epilogue is kinda weird to me. Like, I know we had a timeskip before the Fullbringers(is that what the "Dirty Boots" people were called?) Arc, but at least that was to hammer in that Ichigo was desperate to get his powers back. I don't really think Bleach was a story with cast that deserved an In the Future Epilogue, tbh.

Wish I could still say the same about ANF, but we've only one episode to go.
What were the plans for Tatsuki? She was really cool, wish the author used her more.
When in an interview about Shinji, Kubo mentioned that he had wanted to do stories for Ichigo's other classmates as well—directly implying storylines for Keigo, Tatsuki, and Mizuiro—before the executives told him to move up the schedule and get to the Soul Reapers.
I believe that's part of why Tatsuki in particular had such close history with Ichigo and Orihime, as well as why there were hints that she and a few other classmates seemed to be developing spiritual powers of their own that never fully blossomed.
Btw, what other anime do you like?
Right now, I'm watching Hunter X Hunter on Adult Swim and it's one of the most enjoyable I've seen in a while despite how comparatively simple the premise of it's story arcs feel in comparison to other stuff. There's also FMA, FMAB, Naruto & Naruto Shippuden(which I have been on and off with in interest, but my little brother is a bigger fan and has kept me fairly in the know), and all of the Dragon Ball stuff. Those are just the most recurring ones off the top of my head at the moment.
A few other ones worth mentioning are Eureka Seven(which I haven't seen the ending of), Deadman Wonderland(not a big fan of overly gory moments, but damn we need that to be picked back up again), Digimon(was big on that in middle school, haven't seen much of Data Squad or anything past that), Zatch Bell(as relatively kiddy as the incomplete English dub of the incomplete anime was), Inuyasha, Sonic X, and Pokemon (I used to be a huge fan back in grade school but only occasionally peak in on nowadays).
It's ok if you don't want to PM. I just thought you would more comfortable discussing them in private(and we won't spoil something for others). I don't know what to think about these spoilers, either.

Why do you have to bring up Mariana?
Because they're vaguely similar characters to me: attractive, hypercompetent, and/or easy to like, shallowly appealing types. Not that that is inherently a bad thing.
Granted, it really is a reason I don't really like Mariana as much as a lot of people do, but still no biggie; just a little nitpick that makes me go "Really now? Uh-huh...okay."

In Season 1 I just couldn't connect with Clementine. She was that perfect child everybody loves. People blame Duck, who is her age, for Shawn's death, but when Clementine gets Lee killed, everybody comes up with excuses, because it's Clementine.

What I mean is that the whole "Hot Uncle looks cool talking to his cute niece" thing was a bit much, given this series' reputation for interesting and sympathetic but flawed and realistic characters.

Bless you, too.
Agreed.
Aye! So, you will give the comics a try?
What things? If it's not a problem to ask.
Btw, did you check out that fanfic I told you about? (TWDG: Tables Turned) (It's ok if you didn't, I am just curious)
Yeah, I was under the assumption that she and Gabe have combat training, but rarely use it. Come to think, I suppose it would be something if Gabe got the temper, but Mariana got the killing instinct.
Yeah, I guess. Though Thicker than Water more or less confirmed my theory that, while Mariana may gotten along with everyone well enough, Javier and Kate were more or less playing favorites with her and Gabe respectively, not that any of them really cared.
That's pretty much one of the few pieces of novelty to her that I saw: the only thing I saw (and to a certain degree, wanted) her being was a satellite character to the rest of the family, given how seemingly well-adjusted she is compared to them.
Yeah, while I didn't really like her myself, I have went on record saying I wouldn't outright killed her then and there. Really, she should've been the one they were trying to get help for; I think the story would've went over a lot better for people if that was the case.
Well that and she happened to be out in the open when he decided to ambush them. He's just an obvious piece of shit that's there to get the plot rolling by doing things Max wouldn't do, when you get down to it. Thankfully, the story mostly used that to it's advantage since it's the effect his actions have on the Garcias and Conrad that matters..
Yeah, she's probably #4 in terms of ANF characters I don't particularly care for. To be fair, I thought most of her portrayal in Season 2 was understandable, but I obviously don't really like the whole Edgy!Clem movement and especially some of the shit Carver and Jane was encouraging.
True, though I'd argue the details around his history with the bandits still works in the context of what we ended up with anyway, so at least that can easily work.
This gif of Orihime looks low quality framerate and resolution wise.
Anyway, there were comparisons to him with Gabe I saw floating around and I know he was a really hardheaded boy who got people killed because he wouldn't listen and I also recall at least one person claiming he didn't care about any of that. Also, he apparently has his first time with an older girl in truck. Which I guess I'd actually okay with at some point, it's just one of those things where you naturally squinch your eyes up and do an open mouthed sneer when you hear/see it, particularly when it's not in a porno or fanfic.
I may consider getting into the comics one day when I have the time, money, and interest, though what I've seen so far isn't very encouraging concept and quality-wise.
To be honest sugah, I completely forgot you even mentioned one. I think I vaguely recall doing a search for it though, so I at least tried.
You can't deny she is kawaii, though. Orihime is my favourite character in Bleach. People hate on her because cough shipping reasons cough.
Well, I haven't reached the part when he has his first time or gets people killed. I am at the Alexandria Safe-Zone arc, and for now he has killed two people(with good intentions).
You can always read the comics online, love.

There you go, if you want to read it.
Did you see the spoilers about E5: From The Gallows? I did cause curiosity.
Oh yeah, definitely the same here.
Well, but of course. That's the usual score, unfortunately. Though I have heard about the somewhat random ass epilogue, which "whaaat"....
Thanks. I need to get back to the ones I have opened on my phone's Chrome anyway, but I'll try to keep this in mind as well.
You can always read the comics online, love.
Gasp! But why would I ever?
Yeah and...I don't know, it's not boring but sorta at the same time, sorta is? I assume the choices will be more hienergy in context, though.
It's ridiculous. Her feelings for Ichigo do not bring down her character. Orihime has eccentric hobbies which make her unique and interesting. She is not all about Ichigo, unlike Misa Amane, whose character is defined by Light Imagay-- I meant Yagami!
Oh yes, the ending. Well, it's rushed, that's for sure. The magazine, Shonen Jump, forced Kubo to wrap it up quickly while Kubo wanted to do other things, like showing us the war between Gotei 13 and the Quincies. I heard he was also very sick.
Do you want to discuss them on PM?
Agreed(even though I've barely seen Death Note). Wish I could still say the same about ANF, but we've only one episode to go.
Oh, just like his plans for Tatsuki and the other clanmates before the Soul Society Arc--that explains it! But in general, the fact that there is an epilogue is kinda weird to me. Like, I know we had a timeskip before the Fullbringers(is that what the "Dirty Boots" people were called?) Arc, but at least that was to hammer in that Ichigo was desperate to get his powers back. I don't really think Bleach was a story with cast that deserved an In the Future Epilogue, tbh.
Eh...maybe? I know we only post when we get the chance to begin with, but PM'ing has always been something I've been fuzzy with.
Lee
I'll do it too
Say what about it?
What were the plans for Tatsuki? She was really cool, wish the author used her more. And agreed about the future ending. It doesn't fit the series. Kubo said that he didn't want romance in Bleach. It's Shonen Jump to blame. Btw, what other anime do you like?
I just thought you would more comfortable discussing them in private(and we won't spoil something for others). I don't know what to think about these spoilers, either.
Not sure what the hell happened there, cause I see the rest in my post but I'll repost it:
I believe that's part of why Tatsuki in particular had such close history with Ichigo and Orihime, as well as why there were hints that she and a few other classmates seemed to be developing spiritual powers of their own that never fully blossomed.
Right now, I'm watching Hunter X Hunter on Adult Swim and it's one of the most enjoyable I've seen in a while despite how comparatively simple the premise of it's story arcs feel in comparison to other stuff. There's also FMA, FMAB, Naruto & Naruto Shippuden(which I have been on and off with in interest, but my little brother is a bigger fan and has kept me fairly in the know), and all of the Dragon Ball stuff. Those are just the most recurring ones off the top of my head at the moment.
A few other ones worth mentioning are Eureka Seven(which I haven't seen the ending of), Deadman Wonderland(not a big fan of overly gory moments, but damn we need that to be picked back up again), Digimon(was big on that in middle school, haven't seen much of Data Squad or anything past that), Zatch Bell(as relatively kiddy as the incomplete English dub of the incomplete anime was), Inuyasha, Sonic X, and Pokemon (I used to be a huge fan back in grade school but only occasionally peak in on nowadays).
True dat. Sounds potentially good in context, but kinda eh without it.
You have a good taste.
I am watching HunterXHunter right now too and I like it a lot.
I already finished Naruto (the manga cause fillers). It's part of my childhood together with Bleach.
FMA and DB are pretty great, too. (Gohan is back, baby!)
On the PM I won't ask personal questions. I promise.
Whatevs.
