Itachi is kinda like the Batman of the Narutoverse. He has a legitimately divided fanbase, with some of his fans being completely reasonable and basing their opinions on mostly grounded arguments and then others who grasp at every little non-relevant, non-feat that they can get their hands on to justify that Itachi's invincible.

Can't say it's all the fans' fault either. Kishimoto and the writers who tackled his origin story love him too.
