Pre-tnj Neji was the shit. In good ways.
He was not bad as people made him out to be (yup he has good sides; but not too blatant); he was like that because of his rightful reasons. Yeah rightful no one has any right to change another person's body and freedom for their own safety and the destiny BS he believed in is yet to be proven wrong. His dad died to main family (as if he had another choice), Naruto is child of prophecy and Neji himself died for Hinata Hyuuga; a main family member. I don't even know how Naruto was able to change him 180 degrees with "not giving up" while he already had a teammate who is not been giving up since day 1. Neji basicly become a puppy dog of main family if they were so equal; why he was calling Hinata; someone younger than him with the honorofic of -sama? Hinata was still virtually superior that's all.
And he was about to kill Hinata and make the manga get rid of a waste. That's praise worthy; he could have been a great hero.
EXACTLY! The guy was liberating his subjugated clan and Naruto's retarded arse speeches made him die to the main branch member the exact same way his father did. What did this author offer in terms of liberation lesson? That you are forever tethered to your family and communal goals, no matter how cruel or unjust they may be? It's your obligation to risk your neck for the oppressors and not break free of the cycle of the oppressors? Neji's fate made me sick to my stomach.
Hinata deserved to die in Neji's place to even the odds. That would have meant that both families are willing to risk their necks for one another. It's BullShit at its finest.
