So I was on Tvtropes because I was bored and I came across this:
At first it appears that Sasuke, while being fairly intelligent and very talented, is constantly being neglected in favor of his genius older brother Itachi, whom his father always praised with the words "as expected of my child", while Sasuke only ever got an unimpressed "Become more like Itachi." But later we see that this only applies to his father Fugaku, while his mother Mikoto is shown treating Sasuke with great kindness while only line we ever see her speak to Itachi is "Do your homework!", so its looks as if every parent favours one of the two.
Later in the story, some dissent arises between Itachi and his parents as Itachi didn't think too highly of their plan to take over the village and start a world war and it becomes apparent that his parents cared more for his incredible talent than for Itachi as a person. Fugaku soon turns his interest to Sasuke, tells him not to be like Itachi, complains about his older son to the rest of the family and Mikoto states that when they're alone, all her husband and her ever talk about is Sasuke, cementing that Itachi was the actual unfavourite all long.
But ultimately, their parents loved them both very much. When Itachi comes to kill them, both Fugaku and Mikoto are shown to be aware of his massive turmoil, and they tell him that they understand his reasons and decisions, offering no resistence as he tearfully executes them.
So I'm confused on who really was the favorite. Because Mikoto saying that could have been just comforting Sasuke. So what do you all think?
