So, on the topic of a live-action series, I see three potential ways this could go. 

 

1: SP is directly involved and keeps everything the exact same, and maybe even does more damage to Sakura's character.

 

2: The studio producing the show is completely woke (which is outlawed in Japan) and makes every worst possible decisions. 

 

3: We get a good producer who reads through the entire manga, thinking Naruto will either die or end up with Sakura, and then gets kitten slapped across the face when NH happens out of nowhere. He/she thinks that's completely stupid, and puts Naruto with Sakura or kills him off. Both endings are superior to what we got with the original crap. 

 

Also,,, can someone please tell me WTF was the point of the Anbu?! I thought these guys were supposed to be the best of the best. The elite of the elite. The last guys you wanna F with, and yet they're torn to shreds in every single fight they're ever in. Konohomaru from episode 2 could probably just sneeze in the general direction of these guys and still kill them by accident~ 

The ANBU were create to show how dangerous Haku was, after that they were faceless elite mooks.

 

Faceless means forgettable and disposable. It really inconvenient if a character that has a name and a face has to die to make you consider the new foe a threat, but its easy to create a new faceless elite mook to exist to just die. They are used to show the strength of their opponent because you are suppose to consider them the elite of the elite. So, when they are defeat that means their opponent is even stronger then that.

 

As for your three choice.

 

1) Kishimoto is a big fan of Hollywood movies and would likely want to involve himself. Shueisha and Kishimoto hold the rights to Naruto, SP only has control over the anime. They would have to become producer to involve themselves. Granted if they do they wouldn't keep it the same. They would rewrite the entire story so that Hinata was always involve and the story was always about Hinata.

 

2) Did they outlaw "woke" or do they just not like it? Anyways, that will likely happen unless Kishimoto or the companies control them to prevent that.

 

3) Unlikely.

One significant change I would personally make for a live action Naruto series is make Tsunade the inspiration for Sakura in wanting to be a kunoichi, and maybe this could be something that is talked about amongst the girls.... Like a passing conversation from Ino to Sakura and those tales gives her the motivation...

 

 

The reason she would want to be a kunoichi most of all is to help those in need, and the leave the romance aspect to a high minimal focus. 

 

 

 

That would be me though.

So is the live action 100% confirmed or just a project that may see the light of day?

That's Tenten. Sakura became a Ninja because of the fact she was a child born in the village and was sent to the academy. She didn't have much choice in the matter. Her idol was Ino.

Their are possibly two live action that may be put into production. A Lionsgate movie and a Netflix TV show. Both due to the success of the One Piece adaptation. 

 

The Lionsgate movie has been 'in development' since around the time of the ending. It has been stuck there due to Naruto fall from grace and more importantly sales. If it's gotten out of it, its due to One Piece.

 

Netflix tend to produce and release the stuff they make regardless of quality. They started I think this year after One Piece was successful.

 

Both of these will take years to produce before they ever hit any screen.

I see. Thanks.

So the movie is basically in limbo while the show may come to fruition due to the success of the One Piece show.

Yeah I don't really know what to say at this point, Netflix like you said does have that history of releasing stuff regardless of the quality, for them and most streaming platforms it's not about quality it's about quantity. It's about having a big enough catalog to justify the price and to attract people to their platform by having the viewers go "OMG look how much there is here." So a Naruto show might actually exist at one point.

Even if they do let's say a portion of the beginning of the manga, will that be enough to draw in people? Considering that most people who would watch it are old fans and know how the story goes and ends and continues after the ending.

I say it's a tough sell no matter what they do.

The movie was in limbo and may have moved out of it, only due to One Piece.

 

A big problem with the appeal of Naruto is something antithetical to Modern Hollywood. Naruto strives towards his dream trying to move pass his sad past, Hollywood wants their character to obsess over their oppression as they think that makes their characters deep.

So, we've talked about a lot of the negative things that came from (or are about to be coming from) Naruto, so how about we focus on one of the good things about the series that still remains good? I'm talking, of course, about the soundtrack.. Naruto's soundtrack, especially in part 1, was a killer. 

 

This remains one of my favorite songs to this day: Strong and Strike (youtube.com)

 

As for openings, this was my favorite for part 1: Naruto Opening 8 | Re:member (HD) (youtube.com)

 

And I think this one was a lot of people's favorite for Shippuden: Naruto Shippuden Opening 4 | Closer (HD) (youtube.com)

[BlueStarSaber]

I'm more a fan of opening 2, 4 and 5 and 6,7, 9 and 16 in shippuden

I just worry about anything Naruto related given the state the franchise is in, because too often, it's just gonna suck!
