obito's reasons for becoming a villain were pretty weak imo. there's really no justification for stripping an infant of a family and attempting to kill that infant. zetsu was right, obito is scum.
a broken heart isn't a good reason to try to murder a baby. that's so low and despicable.
imo obito's reasons for becoming a villian were so weak and the fact that kishi came up with "uchiha loving too much" is a bad excuse. he had so much buildup and then when his back story was revealed it turned out to be lackluster imo.
"It doesn’t matter what you use to justify war. Religion, philosophy, resources, land, revenge, love, even a whim. No matter how trivial the motive, they are all worthy causes of war. There will always be war. The reason can be found later. Human instinct seeks conflict.”
One of my favorite quotes from Pain. No matter how you look at it, Obito's motives were just as valid as Madara's and Nagato's. If you strip their reasons down to the barest form, all tried to justify war because they hated the way the system worked. Madara hated the system that took his brothers from him. Nagato hated the system that took his parents and his best friend. Obito hated the system that took away the person he viewed as "his only light".
If you go even further, Hashirama, Jiraiya, and Minato also wanted to change the world for the very same reasons as Obito, they all hated the way the world worked. So, in reality, all of their justifications were equivalent and the same at the core, the only real difference being in the way that they chose to approach changing the world.
