Character Discussion WB was one of odas best characters but every flashback he makes him worse and more retarded

As I said back in Naruto manga times some characters are best to remain legend and not show them at all after. At start they got introduced as epic / legendary character which hypes them as something special within universe . Then actual time comes when we see more of them and that legendary character gets ruined, because the more you reveal about him the more he ends up being common like others and not that special like when first introduced.
Whitebeard is best example of this , the more of flashback we got bigger the damage done to Whitebeard character reputation. Losing his aura as being Xebec underling won in Davy Jones fight , running from Garp which ruined his reputation established in marineford and finally losing all his braincells for not being able to recognise something was wrong with his captain and leaving him to die when he needed him the most.

You know how if you hit rock bottom, the only way is up right? Well the inverse can be true too ofc.
Oda hit the absolute peak of the story and characterisation with Marineford and WB. It fits that the story become an Icarian tragedy after that, its only downhill from here.
(I do enjoy a lot of post TS, I'm just being somewhat facetious too.)
