One thing I do have to say is a lot of people misunderstand his motives and oversimplify it a bit. While true he did turn down a dark path because of Rin's death that wasn't the sole motivation for him sticking down that path(as he noted to Kakashi and the others). It was because of all the bad things reality has to offer. A world where Itachi had to kill his entire clan, where Nagato lost all his loved ones except for Konan, where Kisame had to do the dirty laundry of the Mist and thus not have a life, a world where evil can win. In his case his personal reason for doing it was Rin but it was so much more than that by the end. In his mind because of all these things Reality wasn't worth existing.

As for turning over easily I don't think it was that easy. Naruto tried his "talk no jutsu" on him and failed. It was a combination of seeing what he could have been through Naruto and a talking to by Minato and Kakashi that turned him around as he finally accepted. The thing that I think makes Obito such a great antagonist is the fact that quite literally he only turned evil because the wrong people(Madara) got to him at the right time. And that all this could have been avoided if he had someone like Minato or Kushina to be there for him instead of having only someone who could manipulate him into what he became. I know it wasn't only because of Rin's death but it was mostly. As you seen he completely switched who he was because of that incident. My thing is, is that there seemed to be no villain in Naruto thast stayed a villain and didn't get played. Obito wasn't turned easily but he was turned rather quickly (within a few hours). But then again the war was only 2 days (some war). To be truthful, there was nothung that actually interested me about the character even before he became an antagonist.

This kind of talk really concerns me about this fandom. Last time I checked this thread was suppose to be about what characters were the most disappointing so if its minor (which is all a matter of opinion) or not it doesn't matter. What should concern you is about those who takes the show to the heart and will kill themselves over something going a way they didn't like. I'm sure you heard of how a fan killed themselves because Itachi died.
