So we all know that Orochimaru studied jutsu for all his life, he's really smart right?

My theory is that Orochimaru knew about the Release seal, so he kept full control over the Edos.
Afterall, there's no way Tobirama doesn't know the Release seal, when he created the jutsu in first place.
To avoid Tobirama (probably Hashirama knew the seal too) releasing the jutsu and becoming an immortal ally of the Third, he kept full control over the Brothers, and since he had no experience/didn't know their battle style, he just used them as supports.

Kabuto throught he surpassed Orochimaru Edo Tensei, however, unlike his master, he had no idea about the Release seal, which is why he gave full control to Madara without thinking about the risks.

So basically, Orochimaru is still smarter than Kabuto.

The title is a little misleading. It's more like an explanation according to you on who is smarter, Orochimaru or Kabuto.
Make no mistake, the point of the thread is to explain my theory about the Hashirama/Tobirama power gap between Part I and Part II.
That was only my observation, since Kabuto throught he surpassed Orochimaru , i'm not a fanboy of either characters. (althrought both Oro and SM Kabuto are pretty boss)

he did not give full controll to madara.

Madara wasn't completely under kabuto's controll, but he was still bound to do his will.
Madara only regained controll of his own body when edo tensei was released by itachi (same with dan).
So even if oro didn't completely bind tobirama, he still wouldn't of been able to break free.

Oro binding them just broke the risk of edo tensei being broken by an emotional response, like Sai's brother.

Exactly.

Hashi and tobirama's seal wasn't released. Their souls was pulled out by the Reaper. However, all of Kabuto's edo tensei's was released through the help of Itachi, so the souls of the body has control for a few seconds before being transported back to the Pure World.

but plausible theory. I agree with you that Oro fully bound hashi and tobirama to do only what his command and did not give them some free will to do their battle styles to be more careful. Kabuto was just plain careless.
