| pjbasis 01/24/18 2:33:51 PM #54: | I think the Itachi plotline is an example of something that did payoff well, at least around the actual Sasuke fight. His fake reasons for setting up the fight and then the twist after that reveals him to be tragic (and the immediate effect it has on Sasuke) is like 10/10 material in a vacuum. The double shot of him crying and then switching his revenge to the Leaf was just perfect. You're right that it gets muddled. I don't like Itachi master of a 1000 plans orchestrating things beyond his death for the good guys, there's a lot of reasons Sasuke is bad that cheapens his whole arc, and yeah the main theme of hard work paying off gets a big LOL, but the destination doesn't ruin the journey imo. Jiraiya/Pain arc was also great basically up until Naruto discovers his ability to talk his way out of his problems (which would have been fine if it was just used here tbh). But still man FT has Raven Tail. The son of the guild master, father of badass Laxus, who turned evil for ???? reasons, introduced hundreds of chapters before entering the main story...and then the whole guild gets fodderized in the middle of an arc much bigger than them. I can't even begin to express how that could be called writing. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
