Yes, yes, yes! SS was never sold or justified. In fact it was outright refuted by Sasuke (in his speech to Naruto) and Sakura (in her actions toward Naruto and reflections toward Sasuke).
Sasuke is never redeemed, nor is it even hinted that he wants to be redeemed. And in the end, Naruto acknowledges that nothing was fixed or 'settled' between them. Sasuke still got off scot-free. And I feel like drawing him without an arm is some kind of pandering to the readers that he bore some kind of a wound. grrrr.
Easy, hon, easy. I klnow how you feel really... =( why not have him actually sacrifice his life or something or even something like lose his sight as a real means fo rhim to get redemption? And considering I feel all Sasuke did was based on his realization of living a lie as well as jealousy at Naruto and Itachi, AND on top of that, trying to do all he does to make himself feel better
