We see a lot of threads on NB about why you like your favorite character or why you dislike your least favorite character, but even the most rabid fanboy can admit that their fav is not perfect.
So, to change all the Naruto vs Sasuke and NaruHina vs NaruSaku threads lately, let's talk about that little thing you hate/don't like/thinks is kinda meh about that shinobi you usualy defend with your heart and soul.
I'll go first:
1. Nagato: Despite loving with a passion the philosfical debate between Nagato and Naruto, Hate and Pain against love and forgivness, I admit that Nagato changed his ideals too quickly. I mean, he spend decades harboring that hatred, creating a plan, and poof! Everything suddenly changes? I get it that this is a shounen manga, that the main character can chance everything with the power of love and friendship...
But pushed my sense of disbelief a little. It could have taken a little more to finnally do it.
2. Itachi: Itachi is perfect. And that's a problem. He is TOO perfect. Even bordering on a Mary Sue at his worst.
I mean, he gets praised or is loathed with passion by everyone he makes contact with, deal with almost all his battles quickly, create some special jutsus from thin air to deal with an issue (Im looking at you, Izanami). And that kind of brings him down to me atleast. I wanted that atleast ONE character opinion of him would be "meh". That would give more weight to all the praising.
3:Kabuto: Too arrogant. That's kind of iffy, seeing how the arrogance is kind of a reason why I like him too, but sometimes it boils to something borderline stupid. Because he underestimate his oponents, he let himself wide open for Naruto's Rasengan, charges straight against a FREAKING FOUR TAILS KYUUBI.
And seriously? Would it hurt to leave at least one edo tensei with you?
But remember: I freaking LOVE this characters! But a little bit of constructive criticism is always welcome or we risk falling in fanboyism...
And no one wants that.
