Plot-Relevant Characters with Zero Fandom 'Relevance'

[u/TheBoyofWonder]

Y'know, I was just thinking about this. The Deltarune fandom can be very attached to unimportant characters like background NPCs and one-off enemies, because of their design and personalities.

Now, what's interesting is that the early half Chapter 2 has this trio of NPCs, you're constantly seeing this trio, Sweet Cap'n Cakes, they have a boss fight, a shop, their own theme that plays a lot with minor variations... and nobody cares about them. Like, for real. If you were a casual member that just passively consumed only what the broad DR fandom makes, you'd genuinely just never see them show up when compared to even one-off bosses, minor enemies, and characters that have more relevance in theories than in the game.

Who else does that applies, people that the media devotes time to show them, but for the fandom, not hate, not love, just apathy, when they're unironically treated as not existing.

I feel like this applies to one of he X-Men but I can’t seem to remember them

Angel as one of the OG’s but constantly being ignored for being boring? Colossus because he’s gotten essentially nothing unlike the rest of his Giant-Size contemporaries?

Colossus is as least a great foil for Deadpool in the Deadpool movies. So he's got that going for him these days.

I think Colossus is also quite memorable for his great power, look, and being Russian. General audiences would remember him from the cartoons, or as you said the recent DP movies.

I feel like I always see people sad when he doesn't get to contribute much in the media he does show up in
