Its sad, cause Naruto used to mean a lot to me!D: See it ending like this disappoint me in many ways… They could make the best and to Naruto, and the series would remember by generations! But this doesn’t happen…
Naruto meant a lot to a lot of people. To some people in a certain way, to others in other ways. I guess in the end it's just about the angle you viewed it. That's kinda the card they're trying to play on with this movie. And that very well seems to be the reason for which most of the other sides of the fandom were pushed aside, if you know what I mean... I mean we question, we take no BS, we're too noisy now for what they're trying to play here. We must be put aside so they made sure to do it in a low way so we'd live on our own. Because otherwise as I said, we're too noisy currently.
Maybe we should've been noisy earlier, too, eh? Hmm, too much respect to stay aside and just see where the author himself would take the story, not what you'd want. But in the end it wasn't like that, everything got mixed and fought and trashed away and we're stuck with this. Nice, eh? Mmm, anyway, moving on, I'm blabbering too much...
Oh, I know what you mean by disappointment...I had one after another after another seeing this movie and how they're trying to paint this as after 15 years of legacy. Yuck.
They could've just left it an open ending as an clear end, so to speak. And then, SP could've just started to toy with different ideas for movies for years to come, under the excuse of "what if" scenarios since the series would have ended clearly on an open ending note and it would have been clear that the respective movie it's just a "what if". And so, they would've kept the whole fanbase still around for years, because they would have had plenty of space to play around and to dedicate to each and every subset of the fandom but no... They had to do it this way because fuck it. Who the fuck knows? But money makes the world go round... Too bad they didn't do it even more smart! It's smart the way they did it now also but it kinda costs them a name and a reputation ruined. But who am I to talk?
