^Madara? Hero? Don't make me laugh... Madara practically gave up on reality after reading tablet, sought way to escape it and tried to force others to do same, never asking their opinion. He also manipulated Obito to do his bidding. That is no hero or even anti-hero.

Even if he couldn't control peoples will(which isn't outruled possibility), he could still control their bodies and chakra against their wills.

So again, you have missed the morals of story here: if you try to ignore to reality by escaping to fantasy, you will stop growing up and regress into mindless thing, almost like a plant and you shouldn't solely focus on bad things in life since there are good things in life that mekes it worthy. Madara's "solution" isn't solution at all, it's escape route.
