Aang overshadowed by just about everyone.

Star Wars is probably the only time (outside of a comedy) where the sidekick got the girl and not the hero.

Half the fun of Batman is his rogues gallery. I think more people are hyped for what villains will star in an arc versus Batman himself.

Mike in Stranger Things

I don't know if that show even has a main character.

If I had to point one out, I'd say it's either Eleven or Hopper.

But it definitely hasn't been Mike since the first season

This is a really good one.

I think it was Carl's wife who was supposed to be the main character at first?

Harry Potter

Harry got with Ron's sister. I can't remember her name, but the movies gave her no screentime and no personality. I didn't care about Harry Potter shipping and I still found myself annoyed at that decision.

99% of shonen anime with a male MC and a side/recurring character that's an attractive girl. The latter basically becomes the show's poster character.

She was written to be his sister so as to justify her getting with the sidekick instead of the hero. George Lucas even admitted that wasn't a thing until Return of the Jedi.

Honestly, it's a miracle Star Wars turned out like it did. They copied a bunch of foreign comics and old film serials, made stuff up as they went along, and still created one of the most memorable trilogies of all time.

Ham Gravy was so sidelined by Popeye that most people don't even remember the character existed. I'm not actually even sure if he was the main character of the comic strip, but obviously sometime after Popeye came around he became the star of the show, and the other guy was basically wiped from history.

Semi-related, but Popeye originally appeared as a side character in a Betty Boop animated cartoon, and then got his own cartoon short series. Obviously he's more known than Betty Boop today, although she still has a strong presence in the public memory, but his cartoons obviously ran for much, much longer.
