Didn't understand what you wrote here that much but Naruto never reciprocated Hinata that way.Sasuke reciprocated somewhat in last chapters.ShikaTema is not comparable with all 3
If people never thought of Sakura falling for Naruto. Things would have been like ShikaTami.
The girls part was emphasized more than enough because they are pairing fodders.Naruto and Sasuke never looked at both of them that way.Hell that Sasuke forehead poke was OOC as FCK.Going from not showing any interest to downright having kids with them does not make any sense.
The kids aspect happen after 12 years. That is why it does not make sense to you. They did not just go "alright lets **** baby" the next day or something.
As for the rest of your post I agree. Now had they returned there feelings sooner. This would have been some embarrasing times for Kishi. Since he is too shy to add romance in his own manga.
Then he should not have done it in the manga at all.By doing ship baiting he made it suck more than it already did.This is why other mangakas with as successful works did not include romance at all because they sucked at as it results in a babies ever after ending like Naruto
To be honest I just see it as Naruto growing up and getting married. Which I am ok with to. Not just cause my ship happen. But because this is the aspect of his life I wanted to see anyways. Because I made it clear before these ships became canon. That I don't care if Naruto ends with Hinata or Sakura. I just want him to have a family in the end. And I got my wish.
As for the ship baiting aspect. I agree. Kishi really played with the minds of shippers for a while. I was a NaruSaku shipper one time so I can understand where it possibly came from.
1.Kishi has said in an interview that he is not good at romance and in another that it was a difficult job and he felt embarrassed to write it (This begs the question why did he do a romance movie and why not just skip romance in the manga but whatever)
Maybe Kishi knows that people think he fails in romance. Hence why he wants to prove em wrong with a romance movie?
2.One of the directors of the movie is an expert on strong female leads and romance (It was said by Yagami a Japntranslator on NF.I am searching for the post)
This is good news if true. This will mean Hinata will be treated properly in this movie.
3.Based on the above it can be deduced that since he was too embarrassed to write romance in the manga he did a timeskip and made his desired pairings canon tyen handed over the development job to the studio while he himself focused more on the plot aspect and the story
I think its a smart move by him. If he truly feels uncomfortable telling a romance story. Its best if he gets help by some qualified people. It shows how much he cares about the pairings he ended with.
The how part was successfully done by many authors in the source material.Kishi couldn't do it in the manga and a 110 minute movie is being used to fix what a 15 year old manga couldn't do
I really don't mind him doing this. I mean the manga made it clear it was not a romance manga for 15 years. When its not broken than what is there to fix? Did you honestly read Naruto for the romance aspect of it alone? I mean no doubt romance is not its strong points. But than again it was never ment to be about romance in the first place. So making a movie over romance does not bother me. In fact I welcome it. It will give us something new.
Due to bias I would say that yes I would be happy if NS were to happen but I would still accept that the how part was not satisfactory and let me assure you I hate cheesy love stories and if this movie was about NS I still wouldn't watch it
Fair enough. I am glad you did not deny it and gave me a honest opinion. I guess you and me are quiet different in this department. Lately I have been wanting to watch some romance anime with action. For some reason the romance genre of anime is catching up with me. So this movie is something I would not be bothered by at all. You on the other hand dislike this aspect. So its understandable to me.
Eventually its just about being right in the end and if one is they are happy but facts are facts that its still shit
Just to let you know. Even though my pairing won. I never really felt anything, other than being right about my ship. So winning this pairing war, did not make me feel I reached the moon or anything. Which is why winning or losing this is pointless. Just move along and enjoy yourself.
