I think the major problem of the series was a sort of "staircase effect" between the main villains. I mean, Pain as a shadowy figure seemed quite creepy and as someone who should be beyond any other member of Akatsuki in both the authority and power level. While his power level was really amazing, he was revealed to be a crippled and exhausted man whose psychological trauma was used by someone else, namely Tobi, to his own advantage. Initially, it could still be bearable, if not the fact that Obito was eventually shown as a deceived person as well, this time by Madara. That's already strange. But wait, some time passes, and Madara gets betrayed and revealed to be merely a pawn of another villain, BZ and Kaguya herself. That wasn't even funny anymore. So, to sum up, I'd rather like one boss villain instead of a bunch of them when in the end each appears to be manipulated by a villain of a higher class.
