>I found out 3 scans later that Kaguya was dead.
>Little to no character development

After thinking about it for a while, I must say I was disappointed with it. It started out great with Madara, then Kaguya after very little backstory foreshadowing in only the previous arc no less came out of nowhere and ruined a lot of things. I tried to give her a chance with her epic and scary entrance, when when Black Zetsu "defeated" Madara out of nowhere, it just became awkward and somewhat ridiculous. Thankfully Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi, Sakura and Obito were awesome in the fight, and the choreography was suspenseful, but Kaguya herself was just uninteresting. She had no personality when Kishimoto could have easily given her one, she wasn't the final villain heavily foreshadowed throughout the series, her powers were mostly rehashes of other characters' techniques, etc. She wasn't exactly original either lols.

Then we came to Naruto vs. Sasuke, which for the most part was great, but it too felt incredibly rushed and a bit anticlimactic with its "overly happy" ending, probably because all this time I believed the prophecy that either one or both of them would be killed and that Naruto and Sakura would actually get together while Sasuke went with Karin, but boooy was I off lols. The arc also reeked of implied retcons. Hagoromo's tools being reintroduced then dropped, the white zetsus "actually being people from the previous IT," Madara getting incredibly heavy hype in the first half of the arc, and so on and so forth.

I disliked the ending so much that I'm rewriting it as a fanfiction, though I suppose that's not such a bad thing being that it's inspired me to start writing again lol

I've all but decided against watching the film since it's all but completely spoiled for me and I dislike the forced romance between Naruto and Hinata in it, what's more that being pretty much the central theme. I'm not really looking forward to Bolt being the main in part 3, since this is Naruto part 3, not Bolt, the Naruto carbon copy part 1 lols but since Kishimoto has still left things in the story in the dark and Orochimaru will be returning I've decided I'll give it a shot.

How? Kishi was holding Naruto back from giving out BM to his team like he did with K11 and wanked Obito. Kaguya was shitting on Sasuke even with one arm. Sakura, Obito, and Kakashi needed asspulls/plot holes to do anything. And Obito was acting like an idiot not using PS against Kaguya when he was alive.

It was shit.

It was only used to kill off Madara because Kishi couldn't think of any other way.

If Sakura can punch Kaguya than Hinata can solo her.

Dat logic XD

Hinata's 64 palm didn't even solo one Juubi fodder and u r going to say that she can dish out more damage than Sakura Lol

Kishi said that when he already thought up of Kaguya and Madara was an Edo at the time. So he was lying.

Oh and Team 7 would have shitted on Madara if Naruto had actually given chakra to his team.

Yeah all Kishi needed to do is draw it. If I was his editor I would have given him this idea to make this arc even more special like the Last.

Why didn't Kaguya use IT on Team 7? It's been shown twice that it could be done without the moon but on a smaller scale.

Plot no Jutsu of course, but it was insulting to the reader's intelligence.

Bullshit. It was made to make that stupid movie.

The Last was unexpected. Kishi didn't have and didn't want no part of it until he found out how crappy their drawings for the movies was. Then, he just said "fuc it.... might as well milk this shit while I still can". Hence, the Naruto project.

Kishi himself stated that he had a hand in the writing.
