Popular fanon or fan opinion has easily swayed me so many times; I was never into Buffy but have had the same experience across multiple fandoms.

My favorite character in my favorite book series as a kid, because I related to her more than any other character and it was because her personality traits were rarely put in combination with each other? Many years later the series gains a fandom of nostalgic teens who all agree that she's the worst character, she's boring and a borderline Mary Sue. I instantly convince myself they were right and she was never my favorite; it was the other girl, the good character. I actually read the books again as an adult and not only was child-me right, my original favorite was an even better character than I remembered. (And the fandom seems to have redacted its opinion of her as well and loves her now, but I don't know how much of that is sincere and how much is not liking a Black female character being bad optics.)

But yeah anyway that's really common. Trust your initial judgment!
