ITT: wasted potential
ITT: wasted potential
All of the other Ninja villages in Naruto were wasted potential
They should have all had their fucked up yokai god shit happening, instead Konoha found the magic eyes and everything revolved around them
stomps the Hashirama in your path
Heh, nothing personal 1st, just biz
tranime
I don't think he stomped hashirama, I think he nearly died during his fight and presumably escaped.
Are this guy, Hidan, and Sasori the only legitimately evil characters in the whole story?
Even Deidara is just a schizo artist
Those three though straight up admit to being sadists, conmen, criminals, doing everything just to see people suffer, get money, etc
Coincidentally, they also have some of the best fights in the series
Well I think Sasori was sad about his parents or something
Yeah, Sasori lost his parents when he was young and it fucked him up. Chiyo taught him how to use puppets and he made puppets that looked like his parents as a replacement, but then he realized that they would never be capable of actually loving him he went full nihilist. At the end of the day he was just a sad boy who missed his parents and wanted to create things that would never die but they ironically made him more sad because they couldn't serve as replacements for actual people.
Had Naruto actually fought him he probably would have been susceptible to Talk no Jutsu.
They say kishi can't write female characters but I think he just never cared to.
Yes. I'd say Orochimaru was also another pure evil character
It's not really a secret. He's straight up said in interviews that he's not good at writing females or romance which is why both were lacking throughout the series.
It makes sense. Most Shounen mangaka were inspired by older mangaka who often never focused on writing females or giving them important roles since manga is typically aimed at young boys.
All of Shippuden was wasted potential.
How was his character wasted potential? He had a great fight with Kakashi where he would have won and only lost to Naruto
Kys
You know I'm right.
It's still so unbelievable to me that Orochimaru got away with everything.
No you’re a boring contrarian. It’s the greatest shonen of all time
Helping to save the entire world does that
Helping to save the entire world does that
He's a major factor as to why it was even in trouble to begin with.
Beginning of Shippuden was pure, unadulterated kino that holds strong to this day even if anime was cheap tapeworm shit. End of Naruto's fight with Pain is where the whole story fell off a cliff, with IP becoming weird mecha knockoff of better shows like Evangelion
He changed his mind don’t be a jerk
I think anime has the most "reformed villain joins the good guys" of any media, probably stems from subconcious WW2 guilt
If Orochimaru was so evil why is he allowed to continue his work with narutos approval? Seems like a good guy to me.
You are brown.
Naruto *had* the potential to be the greatest shonen of all time.
he lived for like 150 years and got bamboozled by a couple of shadow clones running left and right
old guy gets confused and dies
sounds about right
he aint old nigga
lol nope, it's simply because they are expected to go on for like 15 years when it's a hit and there are no many things authors can do in shonen
everyone says pain is where it went to shit but it was still based for a little while afterwards, i think the danzo sasuke fight happened right after
That’s an oversimplification. He lost to the future GOAT ninja who was already Hokage level
The great masturbate
but enough about gaara
The entire manga is wasted potential after part 1. Every character besides Team 7 are pretty much never heard from again and dont have any fights. Kishimoto is a hack. Can’t wait for AI to advance far enough to rewrite the entirety of Shippuden with near perfect art style replication.
If everyone got a fleshed out story then we probably wouldn't even be finished with Shippuden yet.
This is the level of a philistine Naruto hater. Dreaming of muh AI “art”
What are some things you would change?
For me? The giant war is completely off the table.
A whole tenten arc with an episode dedicated to her trying to find a quiet place away from her team where she can masturbate to let off some steam.
I don’t want a fleshed out story for each character, I just want them included. I wanted characters like Neji and Lee to have some major moments and actual good fights with stakes. And just more interaction in general. So many characters ended up never interacting at all with each other and it’s just strange.
I don’t hate Naruto. I love it, but I’m realistic and critical of it.
I agree with you. The war was awful. Anything that happened in the war is dogshit. Madara’s fate and the aliens… fuck no. That’s about the only major deviation I’d make
Black Zetsu should've taken over Madara's body before he got a chance to heal from Guy's kick. It would've made the whole thing far less annoying.
I think a ninja war would've been a good idea, had it been that everyone that Pain killed had stayed dead, with Naruto becoming a quasi-Hokage soon afterward and the war itself being about land grabbing and making moves on the remains of their recently destabilized nation, with Naruto learning how to be a leader and defending his home in the process.
