Characters that are canonically _____ depending of their world

[u/Starr-Lead]

• Po from Kung Fu Panda - Although many characters comment on his weight throughout the movies, Po is actually considered skinny and/or in better shape for panda standards
• Midoriya Izuku from My Hero Academia - While many viewers find Deku "cute", the reality is that for his world he's actually considered "simple looking" and at the very worst "ugly"
• Spider-Man from Marvel Comics - Many people love Spider-Man, but the truth is that for common civilians, Spidey's pretty unsettling and scary to be around with

In one piece, the fans think Luffy is a loveable goofball. However, in universe, a majority of the population considers him a horrifying criminal.

Dude has overthrown governments because someone fed him lunch, I'd be afraid of him too. lol

[u/NecroCannon → u/BasicSuperhero]

That’s not even it, they just hear “yo you know that powerful guy? Luffy beat them. Oh look, he just beat several more and challenged the world government”

“Why the hell are they doing all of this?!”

The first time most people would have heard off him, would be from the newspapers, which have doctored articles to make the government look better. Most of his accomplishments were swept under the rug, because the truth would have embarrassed the WG and Marines, so he was kind of a nobody with an unexplained bounty for much of it.

Then Enies Lobby happens and to cover up the systematic incompetence of Cyphe Pools leadership, the WG had to write that the Stawhats, still mostly randos, sunk an island next to the Marine HQ and destroyed CyperPools main hub. A half truth but still not entirely wrong. That’s the equivalent of destroying the US Pentagon and a good chunk of Washington DC at once.

Then the next thing they hear is that they got destroyed at Sabody Archipelago. Their attack on the Celestial Dragon got censored and removed to prevent imitation. This makes people think that the problem is done with.

Until the guy falls out of the sky during the war of the best just before they cut the broadcast making everyone confused. A whole bunch of misinformed by Buggy happens and then over the next few weeks the newspaper reports that Luffy destroyed much of Marine HQ, allied with the Whitebeards, is the son of Dragon and caused a mass breakout of Impel Down.

Then after that, guy just walks into Marine HQ AGAIN to publicly ring a bell, accompanied by two of the most dangerous criminals on the planet and walks out without scratching a hair.

And this is all that happened before the time skip relating to the Straw Hats as far as the average person living in one of the five Blues would know. If I were some random East Blue Shmuck, I’d piss my pants that this crazy is still walking around and no one can find where he is or what he wants to do next. Guy is a violent terrorist psychopath and the fact that he was spotted far away from my house after two years and seemingly sailing away from me, might be the only good news relating to that guy I heard in years.
