I already know which fanbase will get more butthurt at this 100% truthfull thread
I love the term you used here ^
That's a nice colectors figure o.o
I wish they made one from Six-paths Madara :/
The threads made sure get repetitive.
They are the same character? Well, that's wrong.
I've been around some people who were emo and it's funny when you guys call sasuke emo he doesn't really fit it
I know earlier in this thread I critiqued both Naruto and Sasuke for being boring, but I agree with this at least.
Ideals make them different.
I think the whole vengeance path is very typical nowadays and I'm sick of the dark haired quiet emo character
Naruto's character is very cliche also but there's a charm to his ignorance and it works because he doesn't ever sway
However Guy and Lees ideals are the best in the whole series bar none
I know earlier in this thread I critiqued both Naruto and Sasuke for being boring, but I agree with this at least.
Sasuke is highly motivated and doesn't screw around, working hard to accomplish his goals. He's never really just sitting around brooding etc. He's not changing his look to express something, or trying to express anything to anyone, really, unless he's dealing with a target of his hate or if someone challenges him.
Naruto's the same, really. OP is right to say they're mostly the same, however:
In the plot, Sasuke comes off as more motivated than Naruto because he's doing a variety of things to accomplish his goals (which evolve over time), whereas the last thing Naruto directly did the achieve his goal (become Hokage) happened in the chunin exams.
After that, Naruto's goal was just always to bring Sasuke back to light, whereas Sasuke shifted between getting vengeance on Itachi, to discovering the truth of his brother's actions, to avenging Itachi, to creating a world that he believed was appropriate in resolving what had happened to Itachi.
Thus, it's easy to find Sasuke more compelling than Naruto. People try to say it's because he's like, the Shadow to Naruto's Sonic, and shallowly appeals to people who want to be edgy and dark, but Sasuke isn't just some apathetic teen wangster that his detractors portray him as.
Nonetheless, both are pretty meh.
Naruto's the quintessential good guy, and that's fine, because shonen manga need protagonists, but like...
Madara is the most badass character in the series though
