Was the Pain arc a good deconstruction of the battle shonen genre?

>>154908246
The manga version it was. The anime was shit with the final battle. It's like they tried to make it funny.

>>154908246
The ending ruins it.

>>154908246
how is it a deconstruction?

This is a good deconstruction of threads.

Naruto could've been about tactical use of jutsus and varied combinations that would win battles, but instead we got CRAWWWWWWWLIN IN MY SKIIIIIIN and Cuckito

>>154908246

>We're not so different, you and I

Wow
Much deconstruction
Trope averted
Very postmodern

>>154908483
you mean instead we got powerlevels and talk no jitsu

>>154908246
UBW did it better.

>>154908538
Yes Sasuke had le ebin ultra Susano'o that is not the ultimate trumpcard like in itachi's case, rather a casual ability,amaterasu became spammable, and we got Obito as the reveal of tobi, a cuck that went full edge because muh waifu and muh reality.

Even the other routes are better than that piece of shit

>deconstruction

Fuck off, UBW was literally the best route. Seiba fags need not apply

>>154908246
It's the same shit as the rest of the series
>actually interesting when Naruto & Sasuke aren't around
>Naruto shows up and has fight that's worse than all the other ones in the arc
>ends fight by talking enemy to death, Kishi not being a good enough writer to be able to have him say something actually inspiring or charismatic

>>154908246

Not really, it was a reaffirmation of a shit theme that Kishimoto enforced on the Naruto world to further highlight Sasuke's character dilemma.

Nobody liked Sasuke and surprise surprise nobody like the Pain arc either because they were just examples of downright terrible story telling.

Genre defining > genre deconstructing

Genre deconstruction is such a meme

>>154908924
>nobody like the Pain arc either
That's completely untrue

>>154908246
Naruto is cancer

>>154908924
>and surprise surprise nobody like the Pain arc either
Isn't it the most popular part of Naruto?

>>154908246
>protagonists defeats the antagonist and then befriends him
>deconstruction of shonen
No

>>154908924
Pain arc was the only decent thing from shipp

>>154909777
Only decent thing from Shippuden was Asuma's team vs Hidan & Kakuzu.

>>154908246
You don't even know what deconstruction means.
