For reals dude, for reals. Of course, but Itachi had proper power/character build up in my opinion. Most of his actions were limited due to his true nature anyway, and I felt his battles with Nagato and Kabuto could have boasted more of his full potential since he was in Edo Tensei.

The reason why I think he is overrated is because of all the credit he gets for intentionally provoking Sasuke to kill him.

He is loved by so many because of it, and Sasuke is hated for it.

For being lured into, because Itachi wanted him to do it, which won so many peoples hearts onto him.

Which gets me so mad. How does he get credited for provoking Sasuke? Where'd you get that? He gets credited for being a loyal leaf shinobi into the end. His situation was more complicated than we know so though it seemed harsh it was him following strict orders and keeping an eye on the Akatsuki from attacking the leaf village and rather he do it so not many would get hurt. Itachi is a hero in a way.
