My break down of things to come in the movie in relation to the manga.
1. The memory flashback: (scarf, etc.)
So apparently in the movie, we have this flashback of when Naruto and Hinata met when they were younger. I guess this is where Hinata first fell in love with Naruto or something
-Where the hell did this flashback come from?
-Why is this being brought up now and never in the manga?
-How could have Naruto forgotten this? Or hell, how did Hinata forget this? Naruto may be an idiot, but how did Hinata not bring this up at all during the manga? This seems rather a forced exposition just to explain Hinata's origins.
-How come Naruto after this incident seem to ignore HInata completely after that? This makes Naruto seem like an uncaring scumbag. Yeah you can argue they were just kids, but now this is making Naruto worse than he actually was and Kishimoto is setting his main character in a bad light.
-When did Naruto ever wear scarfs in the manga? Now all of a sudden he has this strong fascination with them, apparently.
2. 2 years?
Apparently this movie's plot takes place 2 years after the manga.
-What the hell happened in 2 years time? So you mean to tell me that Naruto never confessed his feelings to Sakura in those two years time or nothing really changed at all? Everyone was basically on auto-pilot?
-How could this be seen as believable with this? 2 years and Naruto makes no mention of the confession in the manga or in that time? We have to wait so far into the future for him to finally say something and it takes Hanabi being kidnapped to do it? Come on. That's just ridiculous.
-What was Hinata doing in those 2 years as well? Was she continuing to be that stalker and not saying anything? Again, why 2 years of nothing?
3. Why Hinata?
The entire manga focuses on Naruto's journey, Naruto's dreams, and Naruto's ambitions...
-Why have this whole plot centered around Hinata? What is so special about Hinata that could not be explained in the manga, had to be put into this movie, and asspulled into relevance?
-Why any of this? This is like making a Dragonball Z movie where the whole plot revolves around Bulma.
-Why hasn't Hinata changed at all during those 2 years time?
4. How does this all tie back into the manga?
Kishi says that this story follows the plot of the manga and follows through from it. I have seen nothing in this movie that relates anything to the plot. Not even the characters feel the same from their manga counter part. The only one that has remained the same appears to be Hinata.
-In order for this movie to make any sense that means you have to make the ending to the manga ambiguous. No NH, no NS, no SS, nothing. Nothing can be resolved because the movie forbids it. If you make NH canon in the manga, then the movie's plot makes no sense on Hinata's whole regrets. If you make NS canon, then this looks like a cheap cop-out to giving Hinata some kind of closure and what is the point of that? if you make NS canon in the manga, but make NH canon in the movie...then what?
-If SS and NH are canon and this movie is going to show that, then how the hell did these characters change so quickly?
-Why is Naruto constantly getting the short end of the stick? Can't be Hokage, apparently can't get the girl he wants, and apparently can't even be the main character of his own story.
5. What of the Moon Falling plan?
So apparently this descendant of Kaguya wanted to destroy the earth using the moon and he does so by...kidnapping a Hyuga.
-Why?
-Why do you need a Hyuga to do this plan? Specifically, why did you need Hinata?
-How could you have confused Hanabi for Hinata?
-Why...why need a Hyuga at all?
6. Why is it all depressing?
This is supposed to be a romance story of sorts
-Why is everything so dark and depressing? I have not seen one smile on Hinata or Naruto throughout every preview.
-If NH is canon, why does it look like Naruto doesn't want to be there?
-Why is Hinata always crying in these apparent "romantic scenes?" "She is worried about her sister." So is the story about Hanabi or Hinata? What can Hinata not love Naruto unless Hanabi is returned?
I have so many more questions and problems with this that I have no idea where to begin. I literally have to wait for the last chapter of the manga to make any sense of it all and hopefully get a clue about any of it. None of it sounds good.
