Well, I'm highly skeptical of calling anything whose appeal is based simply on primal instinctive reactions "overrated". I mean, their reputation is for being scary, therefore, if so many people find them scary, they're obviously not overrated.

Like...sure, you may find them not scary at all and you have no obligation to do so, because it's not like you can force your brain to be scared of something that you don't find scary. But by that same token, the reverse applies as well. Unlike, say, "the Master is the best villain in the show", which is a statement that can be debated and argued with evidence and reasoning, the angels' merit is based on their ability to scare people, which by its very definition cannot be evaluated and deemed overrated or underrated by any criteria except for how many people they scared, and how badly they scared them.

Now, a person can definitely argue that the Angels are overrated characters in other areas. Like, say, the basic rules of consistency and internal logic. But I don't think the angels can be argued to be overrated because they didn't personally scare some particular person.

Sorry if that made no sense...

It made sense to me.
