everyone’s talking about itachi being cooler looking in the original, but NOBODY is talking about how much better of a character shippuden itachi is, i mean WAY better, obviously kishimoto wasnt thinking of itachi being a “hero” at the time, there was just so much more depth to his character in shippuden. Though i do agree OG looks cooler, thats the only thing thats cooler
Ngl I basically just watched the T.V. Version. They talked when they needed and didn’t when it wasn’t necessary. Momoshiki didn’t turn into Red Man for no reason. It felt like they had a better grasp of what to focus on, such as at the beginning with the Sausuke fight, or even during the whole Naruto and Sausuke vs Momoshiki portion. The only thing I’d say the movie did better was no Blue Sky while Momoshiki was using his death, orb, thingy. While you could argue the movie made him more expressive, I’d say that’s not objectively an improvement, and seeing his stale, stoic face strikes way more power and presence than man trying to copy a Mime with how many facial positions he reached in the movie.
I like how in the Shippuden version Itachi is commenting how Sasuke has friends, showing he was always a good guy, while in Part 1 Itachi was meant to be evil before he got retconned.
