Remember when people used to compare Zuko and Sasuke from Naruto?
>>152070316but Zuko is actually an interesting character
>>152070316No because it never happened
>>152070551Zoom zoom
>>152070506The difference between them is largely Iroh, Iroh made Zuko an interesting character bedcause he saw through who Zuko was pretending to be and made Zuko doubt who he was or why he was doing what he was doing.Naruto would've been that for Sasuke but Naruto never actually knew Sasuke or what he was going through, he just had a friend and was obsessed with bringing him back because he sees letting him go was a mistake he made.Japanese audiences like a protagonist that doesn't question why they're doing what they're doing for very long, they perceive it as a weakness in the character compared to clarity of will and loyalty. This is part of why Naruto never seriously questions why Sasuke left and why he wants Sasuke back, he treats it like another goal, like being hokage when it doesn't work because he needs to seriously reflect on what happened to actually figure things out.
>>152070316Difference was Zuko was cool and ultimately a good guy while Sasuke was an edgefag asshole
>>152071504It's weird how naruto, Sakura and everyone else acted like if Sasuke was just another boy when it was public knowledge that he lived alone in the house where his parents were murdered when he was 8 years old. His entire clan was wiped out in one night yet his classmates considered him insane for trying to be strong enough to kill his genocidal brother.

>>152070316Kishimoto wrote the greatest homoerotic love story but refused to commit.
>>152071914white male/japanese male is the purest form of love after white male/japanese female
>>152070316vaguely
>>152070316zuko was never able to use lightning
>>152071854Ok, Naruslopper
Both are pretty cool for the stories that are being told, shaped trough the different cultural contexts
>>152071846>when it was public knowledge that he lived alone in the house where his parents were murdered when he was 8 years oldI was going to argue against that, but apparently the anime implied he lived among the general population while the manga showed he didn't.
Zuko was basically Sasuke but suitable for American children
>>152071846Naruto's dad was the 4th hokage and his mom had the same fox demon he did and came from a well-known clan and he didn't find out about either until he had a visit from the man's spirit
>>152071914
>>152070316Indeed, he should be compared to Gaara
>>152073934Naruto cries about sasuke, kneels to foreign powers for sasuke, asks the guy who killed his parents about sasuke, thinks about sasuke when he’s using the ninetails, and is generally obsessed with him far beyond he is even his other friends or his nominal love interest. Maybe try articulating yourself instead of posting Simpsons memes, nametard
>>152073925Hope he kills the pig bitch
>>152070506this
>>152070506The weird thing about Naruto is that literally every single character in the series is more interesting than the main trio of Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke. It's actually kind of remarkable. The series would be improved dramatically if it followed almost anyone else in the entire fucking series.
>>152071914No, you're thinking of Nomura
>>152074210Okie dokie
Sauske is way cooler than that flaming faggot. He’s from a much better series as well.
>>152074462Nope, you subhuman retard
>>152070316Are they similar to each other?
>>152070316Not really no. I really Sasuke and Noctis comparisons. Even back during Versus XIII days.
>>152076320*remember
>>152070316Zuko had a bad father, went on a mission to prove his worth, and had to choose between doing the right thing or staying with his evil royal family.Sasuke's race was genocided as part of a glowie operation and he seeks revenge but for the most part he just falls in the plans of other characters. Also genetic disposition to being a psycho.Their stoylines are not similar besides the teen angst.

>>152070316Didn't Zuko never use lightning and that was a whole part of a character arc?
