So they weren't strong enough to be mid tier and show the difference between them and Aizen? Wrong : o
Nope.
Its just that it was already clear that Aizen is godmode-level.
Now if we had some other villain BEFORE we found out that Aizen IS godmode level, then it would have worked way better.

Mmm, not really, Itachi had been using the eyes for years, who knows how many times he'd used them and by the end of it was blind, BLIND, and there's a reason he's an S or so class fugitive, being one of the sole heirs of the sharingan, a medley of techniques and his brother's techs too, he could survive against a Kage, beat one not so much.
Thats because Itachi was smart and did not spam susanoos amaterasus, bla bla bla. ALso I assume that before Kishi decided to go with 1tech-wonder-ninja-concept, Itachi survived because, you know, he had OTHER techniques and things he could rely on, instead of spaming eyes.
Sasuke on other hand, pretty much in every fight overused his eyes AND managed to escape the cost he would have to pay for that.
However that would have been all ok IF HE had learnt from his mistakes, however no. He(and Kishi) still believe that their way is correct.

Again, wasn't a book, it was their views.
Pre-book stuff Pain had a very strong and true position of human emotions, hatred, pain, suffering, etc, creating most of world problems and wars. Its something realistic and interesting. He also believed that there's no other method to change that than to create a hiroshima-effect.
It clashed perfectly against Naruto's wish to relieve the world from suffering, to make the world better.
Two ideals clashing.
And then it all turned into simplified "hatred bleeds hatred" vs "lets turn the other cheeck" two-dimensional phylosophy.
Even more. Now we have characters who use HATRED as their power and main who uses PEACE as his.

And how so? He put aside his want to save Sasuke and put the village and others ahead of him, it still has morals, it still has more depth than Bleach ever could.
Did he?
He pretty much went back to PartI VOTE Naruto, who bawls at sasuke and forgets his goals.
All his development through the chapters of building the future by your own hands, of relying on yourself and others, were destroyed.
He also put the whole hokage goal behind after hyperventilating and started some sort of nonsensical savior crusade. The manga was better off without that. The manga was awesome without black/white worldview. The manga was awesome when characters were believable and had more than 2d-personality
Pain? Pain was awesome character.
Zabuza? Zabuza too.
Remember how Naruto handled the whole bridge assault? Thats more realistic portrayal of hope for future.
How Naruto handled Nagato? Thats cartoony portrayal of world at the level of digimon stuff.

If it's at the level of the Digimon series, then what's the problem? The Digimon series, at least in the Japanese, was hardly a kids' show, in certain regards, with some good moral themes.
Sorry but all digimon series except first(decent stuff) and third(awesome stuff) failed.
Naruto is at this level or moral phylosophy
Well that was the 02 finale, 02's finale sucked - we all know that.
But if you'd watched the rest of 02's finale, you'd have noticed that Belial Vamdemon is insanely powerful due to the presence of a crapload of darkness, which the show doesn't take five minutes to explain the presence of. During this, despite not being strong enough to be one of the Seven Great Demon Lords, he is able to take out Imperialdramon Fighter, of which nearly every card is stronger than Baihumon officially declared the strongest of the Four Holy Beast Digimon, and is then defeated by a bunch of kids TALKING. You tell me what's cheaper, THAT or Naruto.
DARKNESS = Hatred.
Followers of Darkness = Uchiha
BellalVamdemon = "Madara"/Jyuubi
Kids talking = Ninja following Naruto's way.
Believe it or not, but Naruto's finalle will be just like that.
Imagine all the ninja hugging and talking about love, not war and Jyuubi weakening/vanishing from that. tadam.
