Just got back from going out and had a chance to catch up with the thread.... Seriously sucks being out of likes reading some of the other posts.
First, it's not worth it to cry over Kishi's work. It's good to remember that it's just fiction at the end of the day. From the sounds of all the spoilers and what others are saying NS wasn't resolved or even acknowledged in the movie. In my opinion, I think that is better. People who read the manga in the future and get into the series will probably be shocked at how it ends and how inconsistent the pairings are with the manga's theme's. Especially when the author is on record saying he intentionally misled the most developed boy-girl relationship in his story just to keep fans on board (Flat out wrong/Soul Selling but I guess he was well within his rights, there has to be some accountability IMO).
Second, the writing took a nosedive when he decided to increase the fights and wars to DB/DBZ levels. I don't know if you guys ever read the fic, "The Sealed Kunai", but it is absolutely excellent and to date one of the best written Naruto fics on FF (Not NS or any major ships BTW). It's funny when I hear that Kishi decided to mimic DBZ and how Toriyama wrote his story. Toriyama never strung along with regards to romance. Everything was decided and built upon, case in point is Vegeta/Bulma. They had a child together and slowly over time it was shown that they cared for each other. It was SHOWN from both sides (unlike SS)!!!
Third, and I've said this before, I'm really looking forward to the output of a lot of NS fanfics/fanarts that will come out of this. Hard to believe that there are writers out there that are posting free work that is written better than what we were shown with Kishimoto.
Chin up people,
We don't need a canon for our ship to still sail!!
