I think that's Tsunade's punishment for having turned down the big D of Jiraiya. She's going to spend the rest of her life mourning the loss of Dan and Jiraiya and what a failure of a shinobi she is while getting drunk and getting facials to try to stay young-looking. Sh*tmoto treats all his women like a joke.
He didn't even have the decency to give Tsunade a noble heroic death or have her resign as the revered mother of Konoha. He just doesn't give a kitten and Narutards who like the ending are completely ok with that.
That does seem to coincide with the new mantra of this series. If you're not shy and submissive, then you need to be destroyed. It happened to Temari, Tenten, Ino and Sakura and now it seems as if Tsunade will join them in a long line of ruined female characters.
Hinata was ruined as well, but only if you judge her by shonen standards. By shoujo standards, she's the kittening queen of the world. In the shonen world, Sakura is the queen.
As for the bolded, I completely agree. I think Tsunade should have died. It would have been a great opportunity to give Sakura some development, just like Naruto got when Jiraiya died. I know it sounds harsh, but anything is better than what she got with this ending.
Oh and by the way, when I say "development" I of course mean actual development, as opposed to the fake development that Naruto and Hinata received when Neji died.
