I think that's the point of the parallel...to show that though they have the same nature of conflict, one will succeed where the other failed. I don't see parallels as having to match in every detail, just in essence.

Parallel is fan term. I don't know what the right word in English. But I use to call it similiarrity.
And parallel already exist since chapter 1(iruka = naruto) & 2(konohamaru = naruto). Oh and volume 70 cover.
Good points
I'll explain what parallel is to me, please tell me if something doesn't make sense.
A parallel is a similarity(or similarities) found between a character and another character, pointed out by Kishimoto, whether it be conflict,goals, appearance, or personality.Once it has been established, we might find other similarities between these two characters, in which strengthens and adds more to the canon parallel.
The whole deal with the old and new generation is that in what the old generation character has failed in, their paralleled new generation character will not. In which the new generation has surpassed the old
I'm really tired now so I'm going to give you a very small reply. First of all the whole Indra and Ashura reincarnations thing that's just bad writing and secondly this "change" in Sasuke is done to keep him relevant. Because after Itachi died, Sasuke had no reason to exist anymore as a stand alone character. He effectively became Naruto's long lost pet.
As for the parallels I'm too tired to explain them.
I agree with the whole Indra and Ashura thing
I feel like Sasuke won't change for the good, but that's just me.
Don't worry about the parallels :)
