Now Jiraiya's dead apparently, even though he was fine last time we saw him. Nagato's gone on a killing spree because Yahiko is dead, even though originally he had to endure orders of magnitude more pain. Naruto's talk of friendship convinces him, even though the original speech was better. His fight against Pain is extremely disappointing. People continue to turn into spirits as if they're Edo Tensei. Sasuke has trouble with Orochimaru even though he originally beat him without mangekyou.

But by far the most cringing moment has got to be "it's as if someone set all of this up". I nearly punched my screen there.
