Has Madara and Obito lost their "imtimidation" factor?

I agree. Tobi was far more sinister because of the mask, but now that he's been unmasked and his identity confirmed he's not sinister at all. He's almost like a teenage girl going through her first menstrual cycle, LOL!
Madara's powers were just too hyped. I believe that Kabuto wasn't lying when he said he added to his strength.

Except he WAS lying. Madara stated that kabuto didn't "create this strength" and the harishima DNA was implanted by Madara BEFORE Madara died.



Also I agree that tobi is ALOT less badass without the mask. I mean with the mask, even though itw as pretty much confirmed he was, in fact, tobi he had an aura of malevolence and just breathed evil intent. Now he's ****ing talking way to much and while he ****ed kakashi up he got his **** slapped in turn(well, one or two punches but still).

Yeah they have lost their intimidation, but Obito is because without the mask he loses his mysterious presense which is what originally made him so menacing.

Madara is simply because all he does is stand their and make cocky statements. He has done so little, period.

We don't really have to imagine it, because Obito has demanded not to be underestimated a number of times before when he still had the mask. Though I guess you could say there's a difference, because back then it was as if he arrogantly warned them and now it feels like he's desperate wants to be taken seriously.

But I still agree with you in a different way. Tobi and Obito are quite different, and I constantly see Obito doing stuff or saying things that I could never imagine from someone like Tobi. The majority of the readers of Naruto are male and they just don't enjoy overemotional characters. That's one of the reasons why Sakura is so hated.

And the worst part.. is that if Kishi stuck with the Tobi personality for Obito, people wouldn't complain so much about the motive xd Because characters that act like they don't give a **** don't need good motives, just look at Orochimaru.
I mean, I remember Tobi as this guy

who snaps necks like nothing, not kneels people in the face in rage:confused: It's hard to imagine current Obito doing stuff like that.

It's pretty natural Obito isn't as intimidating know since he is unmasked and we know who he is and what he wants. That has very little to do with him as a character, it's the same with every mysterious (especially masked) villain in every media.
