Again with the Minato hate? I get that you don't like him, but constantly focusing on Minato ironically perpetuates your own pet peeves. Sorta becoming a fulfilling prophecy. From what I can see, no-one here hypes Minato, since we clearly have seen his abilities and limitations.

Is it hyping to make reasonable comparisons from what we have seen Minato do, to what he can do?

On the subject of the position of Hokage, Orochimaru was Hiruzen's favorite. Jiraiya was never suited to be Hokage-material, largely due to his personality. Ideally, Hiruzen wanted Orochimaru to succeed him, not for his abilities, but because of Hiruzen's favoritism. Danzo would never have the Jonins support, while Fugaku suffered from the curse of Hatred. Minato, literally, was the best choice. He ticked all the criteria, while the others didn't.
