The (formerly) most empathic Person in this manga (I'm talking about Naruto in chapters 1-698) "mistook" his love for Sakura as "brotherly"? Yeah, TOTALLY.
"Hidden sexual Tension" between Naruto and Hinata? What. They hardly interacted AT ALL. If there was ANY "sexual Tension" between those two (and not just shame, fainting and what-so-not) it was COMPLETLY onesided from Hinata.
Just who writes this kitten on TV-Whatever?! NH Fans? Guess so.
This shit is just so pointless ...
TV Tropes has as much validity as any other unvetted wiki. Anyone can post anything -- with a sizzling side order of laughable bias -- and then try to pass it off as an intellectual / educational resource. It's little more than a collection of op-ed pieces.
In this particular case, however, you can't really blame the TV Tropes staff for their assessment of NH. It's the same load of crap that Kishimoto and his merry band of character assassins have been trying to sell to fans for months now.
SMH.
I know I shouldn't, but I continue to be truly gobsmacked by how stupid the entirety of Naruto has become. It's as if the goal has become to see just how much character destruction, senselessness, sloppy storytelling, and retconning they can actually get away with.
For all we know, they sit in their offices, giggling like adolescents who've been mainlining Rockstar, daring each other to come up with the most pathetic and absurd stuff to foist on consumers.
Naruto used to be a fun story with a cool little hero. I really liked the kid. It's crazy how they've destroyed him.
Even their Hinata-hime -- The One whose deification required that ALL ELSE be sacrificed -- is a distasteful, selfish, useless, dimensionless character who neither drives the story nor even really appears in it. She or her dull spawn.
The moral and emotional vacancy of it all is shattering.
