there's also just not any really bold writing choices either, the SRA was a lot more flawed than I remembered but credit where it's due, having the deuteragonist go evil is a very strong hook and having him actually win against the MC and shake up the status quo is a huge gamble, meanwhile we had Gaara "die" and then get revived by a character introduced in that very arc who was basically one foot in the grave anyway
