-Looking over your post, it seems most of your problems from this fight come from the fact that Sakura wasn’t alone right? That Chiyo was there, and thus not her moment to shine? If Sakura had taken down Sasori alone it would have somewhat better? If it is like that then I have to disagree. There is simply no way Kishimoto could have made it that Sakura won against an Akatsuki member alone. Akatsuki members are elite ninja, each one on par with a Kage in fighting ability. It would have violated the world rules too much if Sakura had been able to take one out on her own. Remember that Sasori took out an entire country on his own. It simply isn’t plausible.
-Sakura used as a puppet: it’s group tactics. Nothing more, nothing less. And it was used once.
-Sasori interrupting Sakura I think is just Kishimoto coming up with a witty way to subvert a trope, and it coming up during Sakura’s watch. Not to mention, she basically gets the essentials of her speech out. What else was she going to say?
-All of team seven is compared to the sannin. It’s anvilicious and doesn’t mean they’re clones.
-Life swap was narratively important. Had to be done. No else around.
