Ah well, in the end I feel the writing became a lot more focused towards an end goal shortly after the first clash at the Valley of the End and it feels like Kishimoto knew where he wanted to steer the plot more clearly even if it did rob of it of the fresh and unscripted nature of Part 1 so besides having a slight hiccup in trying to find a way to kill Madara (and coming up with a shite solution) I think we saw what Kishi wanted us to see in Part 2.
