Elden Ring

Is it just or was Malenia overhyped? Like there were other bosses just as (or more) important as her in the story.

At least from what I noticed she mainly became popular because she was a giant lady which was already super popular in character design at that moment because of Lady D from RE8.

Both got overhyped and popular for their looks and both disappointed me.

I don't know... To me there were a lot more characters to put the spotlight on. Like, I find it kinda weird they made a statue of her and her helmet for the pre-order plus she's on all the cover art and trailers yet her presence is just as big as other bosses. And I'm not just saying this because I'm a fan of Mohg but imagine if they put some focus on him too in advertising? His whole theme is just overall cool and I love his whole cult. White Faced Varre became a popular character immediately (yes, ik mainly cause he calls you Bitchless and tells you to go die in a ditch) but focusing on the Mohgwyn dynasty or even Morgott a bit more would have been good choices.

Spread out the merch and characters in advertising a bit more I guess?
