Sasuke always gets freebies, even with freebies he still can't do shit on his own

Sasuke still = fail! yay!
i have to agree here, kishi has already stated that sasuke is his favorite char but gave him too much power/leniency and he'd go back if he could but...too late now lol
so was getting mangekyou a delayed effect? like when he "killed" itachi, nothing happened but when madara explained the story it became active after sasuke's flashbacks....
i think the reason he got it with itachi and not naruto(if he could) was because being away from his best friend for 3 years deteriorates their friendship, although the feeling isn't gone, sasuke doesn't have the same reaction to naruto anymore...
(hard to say that without making it sound like sasuke and naruto were an item...)
Anyways, I don't think too much of itachi as dumbledore, I was thinking of the Star Wars plot circle with Anakin- Itachi Darth Sidious- Madara and Luke- Sasuke
the plots seem kinda similar, it keeps being implied that Madara is going with Sasuke(dur) but maybe sasuke hasn't left the territory since he visited where his brother died.
Itachi said that Madara is a shell of his former self but why does and did he need another person to help annihilate konoha if he has EMS as well?
