Yeah, your vision just seems a bit all over the place IMHO!
You state that he should have died or become hokage (without doubling down after learning the truth) and then state that the show's aversion to killing and strict absolution is what you dislike about the show.
But isn't that exactly what Sasuke was selling at the end of the series when he doubled down?
Naruto ends up convincing him otherwise through the power of shonen friendship, but I thought it was a fairly interesting dichotomy in the framework of a kids manga/anime.
I'm actually glad you want me to explain my position.
To your first point, its actually both to me, haha! I think the show didn't take enough risks, at it's heart. Partly on Kishimoto, partly on being a shonen-ass shonen. I think there was an avenue for making Sasuke's 'redemption' really organic if he wasn't completely engulfed in rage, paving a path for a subversion of the protagonist's journey, leading to an actual twist with Sasuke becoming Hokage and breaking the chain of Uchiha marginalization (I think they're
finally exploring that idea in Boruto with Sasuke's kid, sorta? but the franchise no longer grips the zeitgeist like it used to).
Alternatively, when he became obsessed with killing, there's no real body count to his terrorist plans (or in the entire show, for that matter) so everything felt weightless to me, in a show that's supposed to partly takes place in a war. Having Sasuke give his life in the end against Kaguya/Madara, after actually exacting 'righteous' vengeance against other war criminals would have been bittersweet, but also would have showed that real war is messy and terrible for everyone involved. There's no simple binary, and people, who believe they have pure intentions, can take life too. (I think this is partly why the Zabuza/Haku arc from OG Naruto was so popular. There was a greyness to the fights, and people died, if for nothing else but corporeal atonement for their in-universe crimes.)
My problem with the show:
it tried to have it's cake and eat it too. It wanted the redemption story, but it also wanted the messy war story, but it also also didn't want popular fan characters to die off, so it ultimately underwhelmed me on all points.
Perhaps a lot of my gripes come down to the manga/show, really trying to do a story about war, but also do a story that was accessible for younger children. I hope this slightly longer form explanation makes my position make a little more sense.
Edit: I'm just realizing that you may think I wanted the Leaf village to death sentence Sasuke, after the fighting ended. Sorry if I didn't explain that before. I felt that he should have been KIA, near the end of the story.
