I'll admit when the sharingan was first introduced I actually thought it was pretty cool, I even liked Sasuke at first. As the series progressed though, the more I realized that the two had a massive stranglehold on the plot to the point it ruined the series for some people. Tobi being Obito was the reason an rp forum I was on closed down, for how stupid that was.

In it's base form the Sharingan is already one of the most potent kekkai genkai. Able to copy others skills, predict movements, pierce genjutsu, and you can even use it as a focus to cast genjutsu. This makes an Uchiha able to easily specialize in almost any field save maybe fuuinjutsu. Even if they focus in one field the abilities above allow them to be competent in all fields without much training. Still base sharingan is nothing compared to what comes after.

Mangekyo Sharingan is another beast in and of itself. At first it seemed just a bit strong, with the ability Itachi showed. If it ended with just that ability it may have been alright because it had the draw back of making the user go blind if overused and using a lot of chakra. Then you get techniques such as Amatarasu which allows you to literally look at someone and set them on fire with flames that can't be put out. Susanoo allows you to make and control a chakra gundam. Kamui allows you to manipulate space and time. You manipulate space and time. How did it go from copying jutsu, tracking movements, and seeing through illusions to being able to mess with space and time? That's stupid. The fact it can turn into the Rinnengan is even dumber. It most all the other clans and shinobi seem utterly pointless by comparison.

Then the clan members themselves just seem awful save for Shishui, Itachi, and Sarada. Madara is evil as all hell, Sasuke deserves to be imprisoned, and Obito just screw Obito. Then the clan was going to have a rebellion which would have likely destroyed Konoha. With how much focus was on the Sharingan it's surprising it's not even in the title.
