Kabuto also couldn't revive the Hokages because they were all in the Death Reaper god's stomach, and he not only didn't know how to summon it, he also didn't think of doing/know how to do what Orochimaru did. Orochi summoned the god using the mask so that he was already using a fake guise, pulled the Hokage's souls out, used Edo Tensei to revive them with the 4 corpses there, and then switched places with a Zetsu using his snake-rebirth technique and put the mask on him so that his soul was sacrificed to the god instead.
Kabuto didn't know how to do this, or that he could. Plus he probably wouldn't have been able to pull it off, he's a pleb.
That's true, I wouldn't want us to 100% agree per-say, but it would be nicer to agree on some things than Empire just 110% shitting on it.
Welcome to the point of the joke.
There, watch that, it may calm your butthurt.
Anyways, like I said, I do recognize the problems (when there are problems, some of this shit you do is straight up whining and bitching), I also said that I can overlook them and say "eh" because I still get enough enjoyment (which you seem hell-bent on killing) out of the show to overshadow the mistakes. I'm not blind, you guys (in particular, and mostly, you) nit-pick literally EVERYTHING that's wrong with the show. From the animation (a pixel could be out of place and you'd bitch), to what a character said. For fuck sakes, next thing I'm going to hear from you is that a character had a dumb stance. (Oh wait, I already have lol).
First
Naruto has a fucking SHIT TON of lore. How you don't see this baffles me; so much has been explored because of people being revived that really couldn't have if they weren't. People like Asuma and Neji's dad and Kakuzu and etc didn't need to come back (even if it made for feelsy scenes and pretty awesome action), but people like Dan, the Hokage, all the other Kage, and etc did.
"Talking" about the legends had already been done, and it wasn't enough. If he did do that you'd probably complain about a lack of action anyways. He needed some way for these people to actually speak their part for themselves. Which means revival, OR some gay ghost talking from the other side bullshit (like Star Wars) lol. Which would have been dumb as fuck.
Second
I mean, they're SENSORY ninja for a reason. You need a way to counter stealth or it would be OP (especially at the beginning of the series when people couldn't level entire battlefields). What did you think was going to happen when the best sensory ninja from every village got together?
But alright, Stealthy ninja did seem kind of cool. Where was he going to get competent stealthy ninja? He would get at best less than a handful of them, who the fuck else would want to go into a dream world? I hope you're not going to imply Zetsu are strong, they're weak as fuck and as incompetent as they come lol.
Hey, the ending of the Pain arc was great man. The Edo Tensei may have had some faults (even if as a whole it was still really good), but don't talk shit about the end of the Pain Arc. That was the best arc in all of Naruto and one of the best endings to an arc.
I don't see how the show is a lost cause, but alright. It may not be the best written show, but it's still awesome. Like I've said before, if you ever watched anything in Naruto and felt feels or said "Fuck, that was awesome", then you can't really bag on the show. You still liked it.
