http://www.narutofor...p...5209&page=2This is not from me is from someone who saw the movie, I normally pay attention when someone is speaking or explaining something.
That's why I said that accepting something and ignoring the rest only make us biased. Just like SS holding and the thank you scene but ignoring the murder attempts.
Sorry if I sounded rude is just that NS is so obvious/logical (we have so much on our side) but people still refuse to accept some facts that hurts the pairing NS is nor perfect, nothing in this world is perfect.
Uh no, I'm a librarian. Being a librarian means being skeptical of secondhand ( or from what you originally wrote here- thirdhand: that tells you even more incomplete information from the secondhand source) information that is incomplete, shows a questionable negative slant against certain characters in way he writes about what he saw, and not stated by the other secondhand sources- movie reports.
Like your comment about Menma always being bad- from the answers Shadow contradicts what you replied here to Lady GT- "Tobi approached Menma after menma was done attacking a village.
There was basically no background on menma " and more here that also contradicts your words "It seems like it was black because he was possesed by his own version of the kyuubi?
I dont really know to be honest. All I know is when he ran out of chakra and tobi left his body his hair turned blonde again."
This is why I was skeptical and was right to be, your own source contradicts what you said. Some of what Shadow says in his answers also contradict a bit with what we've even seen in the released clips. So yeah I'm taking what he says with a grain of salt. And I think you don't understand what being skeptical and taking with a grain of salt means- it doesn't mean I completely discount what he says, it means I need to see firsthand proof (the movie) because of the points I made above about Shadow as a source.
See, I love to do research- which is why I am a librarian, and have learned to be skeptical of source material that sets off my warning bells. This is why when I become fascinated by a subject I read about it voraciously, so I can cross reference and see what shows up in multiple sources, and if so, how its reported. A source that shows an clear negative bias is a weak source, weaker than even a source with positive bias. (That's a point few people outside of serious researchers know anymore. I see so many modern reporters on TV don't know this and thus do poor journalism- Oh how far journalism has fallen since the peak of investigative reporting in the 1970's.... Glad I lived through that decade and had a fascination with investigative reporting as a girl- it gave me the foundation of how to do good research. Heh, I
hate writing papers though, which is why I'm a librarian not a professor, if journalism hadn't sunk so low and become just an arm of their corporate owners I might have gone into journalism. Plus geeks of all types are much more common and accepted amongst librarians than amongst journalists or even college professors.)
That Japanese person's short report of the movie that I translated did not really hit my warning bells, so while I'm still going to have a mild skepticism about it- it's still secondhand, and the person is a narusaku shipper like me- favorable bias, my gut instinct as a librarian says- good source. I'll wait to see the movie though- firsthand material.
Shadow's answers does hit my warning bells. Is he consciously distorting things? For the most part I don't think so, but sometimes his negative bias slants his words, perhaps even unconsciously. Thus my skepticism.
