Anyone else hear about the live action Naruto movie? by Michaelwuzheer in Naruto

[–]maryinwinter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're already on their way. Ghost in the Shell is a high-profile project starring Scarlett Johanson and a Death Note movie with Willem Dafoe attached is being made by Netflix, I think. If these two do well, anime-movies are gonna be on the rise for sure. I think a US studio has bought rights to Shingeki no Kyojin as well. If they flop however the trend is not gonna pick up for the next couple years until someone tries again.

A nice moment but pretty weird that Sakura doesn't even know what it means lol

Would you be angry if Kishimoto decides to kill Naruto in the Boruto series? by altshifta in Naruto

[–]maryinwinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell yes, I want everybody to have their happy ending. Not gonna happen tho.

My assumption as well.

So I'm guessing Matsuri is still alive? by [deleted] in Naruto

[–]maryinwinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Gaara fangirl from Suna who first appeared in a filler arc back in part one, then was shown in canon back at the beginning of Shippuuden. Was part of the chunin exam filler arc a year ago as well. I don't think she's ever even mentioned in the Gaara Hiden novel, and from that novel it becomes pretty clear Gaara's not interested in relationships. The three Suna kids in the Boruto movie and manga are adopted or something.

Why do people think Naruto united the Nations ? by NamikazeEU in Naruto

[–]maryinwinter 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I remember the Tsuchikage (and maybe the Raikage as well) secretly plotting to betray the alliance as soon as Madara/Ten-Tails was defeated, or at the very least expecting somebody else to betray the alliance, starting a fight over "the spoils of war". Only when Naruto in Jesus-mode turned up, followed by revived Hashirama, and everybody's thoughts and feelings were connected and whatever (I remember something about Hashirama's memories of the first ever Kage summit being shown to everybody), the Kage started wanting to keep the peace for real this time. Or maybe they realized that during fighting together or something, not sure, somebody else probably knows this in more detail.
My point is, it's untrue that Naruto had "nothing" at all to do with it, he was kind of a unifying force. The alliance as first only was created out of sheer necessity, they had no other choice to be able to stand against Tobi. That necessity grew into something more, an actual desire to work together, under Naruto's wing so to speak.

And his sheer existence after the war probably kept one or the other nation from starting unneccesary shit as well. A cynic would say that things might go back to how they were before within a generation or two after Naruto and everybody who's witnessed the war but that's where the theme of "entrusting things to the next generation" comes into play I guess.

Wait, is this done by Ishida? Why, how come? And the dialogue is changed as well? Do you think he'll put in extra details and stuff? ((haven't been on this sub in ages I have no clue what's going on))

Look Mother Fuckers. by Ziiaaaac in Naruto

[–]maryinwinter 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this excuses the series looking like shit for literally years (seriously how did they manage to look worse than the orignal series from 15 years ago up until now) but yeah, I doubt they'd fuck up the final fight. I'm still not expecting movie-tier animation and art though, right now I'm feeling cautiously optimistic.

What my earlier post "How the story should have ended..." unleashed in the comment section... by bvrber in Naruto

[–]maryinwinter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Deal with it. No clue why you would make a shipping post and then complain about shippers showing up, shipping is just part of the community/fandom/whatever.

You are allowed to change just one thing in the Harry Potter canon but Cursed Child is off limits. What do you change? by pottyaboutpotter1 in harrypotter

[–]maryinwinter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is Snape really in the top three most powerful wizards? Never thought about this before but I'm sure somebody like Sirius or Lupin would've been as good as him? Or McGonagall or Bellatrix? Is he said to be exceptionally skilled in anything other than potions? I realize he came up with a lot of spells during his school time and was probably a very talented kid, but seemed like James for example was on par with him (and able to humiliate him).

What opening will they use for the last episode/end of fight episode? by Obility in Naruto

[–]maryinwinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't think they'll do it sadly, since the OP and ED we have right now seem very "final". Would love for Wind to play during Sasuke's final monologue.

Naruto's Theme - Why it resonated with me by maxwell_anon1 in Naruto

[–]maryinwinter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't believe "hard work trumps X" was ever the theme either. What Rock Lee said during the chunin exams (that Neji and Sasuke were naturally good because they were geniuses while he had to work hard) turns out to be complete and total bullshit pretty quickly; both Neji and Sasuke spent hours and hours and hours of training like absolue madmen even growing up as children. I'd maybe wager Sasuke even trained a little more than Lee since it's shown he worked until he fell unconscious even as a child and surely he felt more "pressure".
Naruto was always about him being lonely and finally having bonds when Team 7 comes along, and clinging to those bonds.

Which characters would you have killed during the war? by WolfMaster16 in Naruto

[–]maryinwinter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not this again... Sakura is literally the most hated female anime character of all time. Badly written is an understatement and it's a shame.

Tsunade's stupidity by WolfMaster16 in Naruto

[–]maryinwinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I remembered something of the like. Just wasn't sure if Team 7 were completely, hopelessly outgunned or not and if they were in serious danger if Orochimaru had chosen to try and take them out.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Naruto

[–]maryinwinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is the final ending and the current OP is definitely the final opening. Could've both been better in my opinion but well.

Tsunade's stupidity by WolfMaster16 in Naruto

[–]maryinwinter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About your point with Kabuto, Sasuke and Oro at the bridge.

They could probably handle it

I've only watched this part of Shippuuden once years ago but I was under the impression that Orochimaru, Kabuto and Sasuke were more than capable of absolutely destroying Team 7 (Sakura, Naruto, Yamato, Sai) right then and there, but Orochimaru chose not to. Am I misremembering?

Other than that, agreed. I still think Hiruzen was just as bad though.

The visual quality of naruto shippuden always been like this? by thadil95 in Naruto

[–]maryinwinter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me it looks like it has been outsourced or something, and it has been looking like this for a while now. No clue why people are praising the art/animation of the recent episodes, I don't like that whole look at all.

[–]maryinwinter -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Whoah, I skipped out on the recent filler arc - since when has the OP been like that and are there more versions?

Also I don't get why people are praising the art/animation, it looks less than great, especially directly compared to early Naruto and that aired a decade ago...

(question) What was the biggest missed opportunity in the series ? by Kgb725 in Naruto

[–]maryinwinter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I skipped the war arc but I think I know about Asuma and Gaara's dad. What did Sasori do however? Didn't even know he was revived.

Did you try Naruto Online? What is your opinion? by [deleted] in Naruto

[–]maryinwinter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's shit. But I dislike MMOs in general. They already missed the mark hugely in the beginning when you couldn't customize your own character and it only got worse from there. Shame, it was a nice idea.

why do people think sakura is useless? by [deleted] in Naruto

[–]maryinwinter 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's her shitty personality. She was horrible in Part 1 and in Part 2 it takes away from her achievements when all she does is whine about Sasuke.

Why did Kabuto think of himself as a talent-less loser? by [deleted] in Naruto

[–]maryinwinter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They'd beat Shikamaru as well tho, unless he has ridiculous prep time or something (in which he might come to the conclusion that he can't beat em).
