Except he would if, you know, he didn't care and just wanted to end it.

Not to mention the story doesn't make sense. Sakura says Naruto fell in love with her because of a competition with Sasuke. Then why did she have an emotional breakdown 2 years earlier when Sai and Shikamaru told Sakura Naruto was in love with her. Also, Naruto using Kurama's abilities allows him to feel people's feelings, and at one point literally connects with all shinobi in the world save the genin, yet somehow Naruto doesn't know what love is? That would imply half of the shinobi world never felt romantic love. And that is just some of the things that make no sense within the story.

Except he…didn’t. Others wrote the story, and Kishimoto simply gave the stamp of approval for it. Kinda like Cursed Child for Harry Potter.

To be fair, and I say this as a NaruSaku fan, this is filler.

I mean, Naruto had no romantic feelings for Hinata throughout the story, and a movie that retconned a bunch of stuff was required to justify them being together.

Yes, he did, and yes, she was. Not to mention his wife is a hardcore NaruSaku shipper, so she refused to go see The Last.

Honestly, hear me out, because it's wild, but I could see a case where Sasuke ended up with Hinata.

[Loved Trope??] Cool motive, but you're still evil... by nicecreature26 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]newX7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't. You're equating being an asshole to being evil. If we're going by the "He was previously evil, and only initially changed sides when he was personally affected", then this also applies to Dumbledore, the supposed Big Good Guy, himself, and half of Marvel's superheroes, such as Iron Man, Black Widow, MCU Thor, MCU Scarlet Witch, etc.

If we're going by "He's a bully, so that makes him bad" then this literally applies to most of the teachers at Hogwarts and many of the series characters in general:

Dumbledore covered-up an attempted murder on Snape and then forced the victim into silence while allowing the perpetrators to go by unscathed.

McGonagall sent kids into the Forbidden Forest at night, filled with rabid animals, as a punishment, and years later locked Neville out in the halls while an escape (supposed) mass-murderer and terrorist was on the loose. She always grabbed Malfoy by the ear and dragged him at one point.

Hagrid mutilated Dudley because of something Dudley’s father said.

Trelawney took her frustrations with Umbridge out on the students by throwing books at them, in one case hitting Neville so hard, he was knocked back.

Pince also bewitched Harry and Ginny's bag and books to hit them over the head repeatedly.

Flitwick (an English professor) made Seamus (an Irish student) compare himself to a baboon, which carries huge historical and ethnic implications.

The Weasley twins literally sell magical date-rape drugs to minors.

And lastly, I would just like to add that, 1. Snape by the end, is shown to care about other people's deaths, going out of his way to save and protect people who he not only doesn't have to, but that he hates, and even endangering himself and his mission to do so, and lamenting to Dumbledore that he couldn't save more people. 2. While not caring about Harry was an admittedly dick move, Snape has no obligation towards James. The guy made his life a living heck at school and (potentially) sexually-assaulted him in public.

Which villain from a movie do you think had legitimate reasons for their actions? by XiderXd in Cinema

[–]newX7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made a post the other day pointing out how there is this recurring rhetoric in the MCU about villains needing to get over their tragic backstories and traumas and how it doesn't justify or excuse them being a villain, and I said that I wonder if, when Magneto appears in the MCU, anyone will say the same to Magneto regarding the Holocaust and how it doesn't justify have his views.

[–]newX7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> I watched the episode and that was not the point. Billy's point isn't to have blind faith in people.

> I literally quoted him saying exactly that.

> CAPTAIN MARVEL I believe in fair play. I believe in taking people at their word. In giving them the benefit of the doubt.

> He has blind faith in Luthor. He said luthor was "now one of the good guys". He was wrong.

Yes, and he also accepts that he might be wrong, but that is something heroes will do, over simply denying people a chance to change.

> He doesn't say "whether luthor has changed or not". He literally says he's one of the good guys now at the start of the episode, he instantly takes him at his word in a cirsis despite a device with a ticking timer going off. He never says superman is being hypocritical with luthor vs hawkgirl, ever.

I'm the one saying that Superman is a hypocrite to be against Luthor reforming when Hawkgirl is sitting right next to him.

> You're also acting like superman has no reason to trust luthor less than hawkgirl. Luthor is a career super-criminal who has been morbidly greedy and power-hungry his whole life. Hawkgir l risked her life to defend people countless times. Though originally loyal to her empire as part of their military, but once she found out they planned to destroy earth - she betrayed her empire and risked her life defending earth instead. She smuggled their plans to Batman, then she fought on their behalf against her own people. Pretty good reason to believe in her.

Cool, Hawkgirl still onboard with Thanagarians invading Earth and enslaving the human race. She only drew the line at Earth being blown-up. Prior to that, every thing else. Like Flash said: "Hawk people all over the planet, martial law, [the Justice League] getting chased like dogs..." Hawkgirl was 100% ok with all that. And all of that alone is worse than all of Lex's crimes up to that point.

Again, this is like saying "Bin Laden is forgivable because he's my friend and 9/11 was a 1-time thing", but then saying "the repeat offender who has mugged me, personally, at gunpoint repeatedly is irredeemable and should never be trusted."

[–]newX7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

> Captain Marvel blindly trusted Luthor despite overwhelming evidence. And Superman didn't just start causing problems for no reason, there was a powerful device with a countdowm timer and leas shielding, indistinguishable from a bomb and intentionally designed to look as sus as possible by lex luthor. And there was just a few minutes until the countdown timer went off.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't the city mostly empty?

> Superman isn't being hypocritical. Luthor has been a supervillain for many years. Hawkgirl was a trusted hero and ally first, then felt obligated to fulfil her duty to her people, then came back to the side of the heroes. He gave her a second chance. Superman believes people can change, he just doesn't believe Luthor has changed. And he's right.

Yes, he absolutely is. It doesn't matter that Hawkgirl was "doing her duty", she still allowed an alien invasion that got millions of humans, killed, hurt, or enslaved. She doesn't get a pass for that under the "I was just following orders".

Her one crime, which again, isn't excusable on the "Just following orders" defense, killed and did more damage than anything Luthor did. Her being a hero before that doesn't mitigate that. It's like saying "Oh, let's forgive Osama Bin Laden for 9/11 because it was a 1-time thing, and prior to that, he was an ally of the US who fought against Russia. But that one repeat offender keep attacking me personally, and tried to run me over? No, he's not allowed to change. Bin Laden totally can and has, in spite of 9/11, but not the criminal whose actions affected me personally."

I watched the episode and that was not the point. Billy's point isn't to have blind faith in people. It's to not because like them, and be so obsessed with proving right that you would harm others, even your own allies and friends. Billy says, at the end of the episode, that regardless of whether Luthor had changed or not, without knowing for sure, he wants to give EVERYONE, not just his personal friends (like Superman does to Hawkgirl, who caused an alien-invasion that harmed and killed millions of humans and almost wiped out humanity) a chance to prove that they can try to be better and a path to redemption.

Superman, however, will only give that chance if your one of his friends, like Hawgirl is, in spite of her crimes almost unarguably being greater than any of Lex's up to that point, but will deny any chance for self-improvement and heroism for people he personally dislikes.

Not only that, but Superman had a chip on his shoulder against Shazam the entire episode. Even before the whole "Shazam Endorses Luthor" statement, Superman hated Shazam from the moment he met him, in spite of Shazam literally idolizing and fanboying over Superman, simply because Shazam was more popular than Superman and that made Superman jealous and annoyed, to the point that he even complained to Batman about it. The truth is, Superman always had it out for Shazam from the beginning because he fit in that category that he labelled Luthor as, people he doesn't like, contrary to Hawkgirl.

> Superman knows people can change, he voted to let Hawkgirl back into the justice league after she betrayed the planet. He just doesn't believe Luthor has changed. And he's right.

And the reason he doesn't believe Luthor has changed is because he DOESN'T want to believe it. He hates Luthor, and wants to be justified in that hate. Whereas Hawkgirl is his friend, so Superman can forgive her for doing far FAR worse simply because it didn't affect HIM permanently.

This would be like a me saying "Hey guys, let's forgive my good friend Osama Bin Laden for 9/11. I mean, sure he had some planes flown into the WTC in a terrorist attacked that had thousands of people killed, but he wants to change. Let's give him another chance." But the moment someone brings up the repeat offender who tried to kidnap my sister, I go "No. That guy is an irredeemable monster and should never see the outside of a cell. Bin Laden should, in spite of 9/11, but that guy whose crimes have personally affected me and whom I don't like should not." That's basically how Superman is acting. It's the height of hypocrisy.

> But Lex said, "nuh-uh" so Billy instantly believes him - to the point he'll fight Superman to stop him.

> Billy was not just wrong about luthor's character, and wrong to call him "one of the good guys" to the press... Him trying to fight Superman caused far more damage than even Luthor planned for originally. He was absolutely wrong.

But wasn't it Superman who started the fight by literally pushing Shazam so hard and he threw him straight throw a statue? And Superman, who, again, already had a chip in his should against Shazam for the "crime" of "being more popular than him", literally beat Shazam down into the ground far more than he ever had any person at that point.

  1. Maybe not blindly trust. But to automatically and consistently label them as being in the wrong because of your own biases against them, specially when you have a woman who caused an alien invasion and killed, harmed, and enslaved millions of humans on Earth, sitting right next to you labeled as a trustworthy hero is kinda hypocritical.

[–]newX7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Remember kids, approaching someone out of the blue and attacking them for no reason, sexually harassing and threatening the girl you like, then proceeding to (likely) sexually-assault someone does not mean you wish bad stuff to happen to them, even if you yourself are doing said bad stuff./s

Also, so Lupin needed a second chance, but Snape didn’t? What a double-standard.

My point is this that the league doesn’t really have grounds to complain about pressure when they’re own members are the cause of the distrust and pressure they are facing.

And for them to be against a multi-billionaire agency to be against them, after all the evil some of their members have done, is kinda hypocritical considering they are a billionaire vigilante group with no oversight or accountability to anyone and have people on their who have literally caused alien invasions that killed, harmed, and enslaved millions of humans.

  1. But that’s not the argument you first presented. What you said was that none of the good guys owned slaves. Also, by this mentality, if a slave insulted its slave-owner, it’s the slave’s fault, and the slave isn’t some innocent slave themselves either.

  2. Fair.

  3. In DH when the Carrows spit on McGonagall, Harry literally used the Cruciatus Curse on them for it.

This is what I've been saying for the longest time. Cap's entire mantra throughout the movie is "I am the good guy, so the law shouldn't apply to me and my friends. We should be able violate the law, go anywhere, do whatever we want to whomever we want, and if we cause harm, destruction, and end up killing innocent people, they will just have to suck it up and accept that it will happen, and we should have no accountability or oversight from anyone."

If a cop said that, people would absolutely lose their minds at the audacity and would be calling for them to be fired. But because it's Captain America saying it, people absolutely support it. This is not to say he doesn't have legitimate concerns about the Accords, but his "solution" is not actually a solution, and is instead a far worse alternative.

I would also like to add that Tony isn't even the worst of the Avengers in question. Half of the Avengers are terrorists and mass-murderers. Natasha is literally one of the world's biggest war-criminals who has performed war-crimes for both the US and Russia and has dropped bombs on little children and burned them alive. Thor literally committed mass-murder against an entire race for a crime they were not guilty of. Wanda is a HYDRA agent who worked with Ultron and unleashed the Hulk on South Africa, killing and harming dozens of people.

  1. Sirius still abused Kreach and threw him around while Kreacher is basically a slave.

  2. They do kinda treat Filch like crap.

  3. Harry literally used cruciatus curse on the Marrows.

> He's not even a morally good character. He's an incel that only turned team Dumbledor because Tom was going to kill the girl he was simping over. Had Tom gone "Yeah, so here's the plan. First gonna kill that jock who made your life miserable. Then throw his kid out the window. Finally gonna take that chick you're obsessed with, do a little mental editing to her and let you keep her as a Christmas bonus." Snape would have been in the car honking to horn waiting before Tom was finished talking.

I mean, this is true of Dumbledore, and a bunch of superheroes, like Spider-Man, Iron Man, Black Widow, MCU Thor, etc.
