Yeah I think you are looking to negatively into this, as I don't think Kishimoto only starting to like sakura at the beginning of part 2, pretty sure he was fond of sakura from the beginning of part 1.

Also I don't think sakura held too long of a grudge against naruto for the womanly comments, as she show great concern for his wellbeing when she learnt that naruto was a jinjuriki and if he is captured by the akatsuki and has his tailed beast extracted he will die. Along with the tenchi Bridge and seeing naruto in his 4 tailed transformation followed up by yamato hinting that she feels something more for naruto.

Arguably afterwards kishimoto did afterwards was slow burning development with the sakura trying feed scene and her showing having a similar pervey side like naruto when kohonahamaru showed of the sexy no justu before doing the big hug in the pain arc.

Now arguably doing the slow burn for a series as long as naruto caused long term problems as many fans failed to see and ended up thinking hinata was the love intrest due to that big pain moment. Heck this tends to be a problem for many series that do slow burn like avatar the last airbender, as not everyone saw it coming despite obvious hints.

It probably didn't help that around this time new editors came in with an anti sakura agenda to replace sakura with hinata which probably effected the writting around sakura so much that it ended up the mess that it did. Also didn't help that kishimoto became very insecure with Sakura's popularity in the west.

Pretty sure kishimoto post ending interviews are just damage control by jump to avoid the backlash with how he made the canon couples and the not a romance manga is just a poor exuse to as to why the canon couples are so bad.

I think its fine if a series makes it that one character is in love with more than one person though they got to make it eventually clear like nisekoi did. Also kishimoto should of really addressed the love confession much sooner to make it clear that sakura was in love with naruto, but also still had some feelings for sasuke.

I wouldn't say the pairing's behind us... (Sp recently released a acrylic of sakura confessing to naruto) Yes some people watch boruto but many people don't like the sequel series much like people don't like the new star wars... Will disney do something to make amends for their actions? It might be unlikely. Or look at the way ash's story in pokemon ended. Many things not addressed and ash never even meets his dad. But it doesn't matter enough it seems. I still wouldn't claim all of ash's fans put the series behind them. Sakura was also a lot higher than hinata in the recent poll (higher than naruto and sasuke even). Sakura vs chiyo also won the fight poll as well.... Kishimoto was likely copying the love triangle in dragon quest: the adventure of dai but probably didn't do a great job but even so i don't think sakura was hated to a huge extent. There are youtubers nowadays who openly say sakura and naruto should've been together so at least some fans know it should've happened


They did when?

In regards to Western films and media while 2023 wasn't really a good year, mainly for Disney and superhero films. There was still some great things that came out like across the spiderverse, oppenheimer, Mario movie, the last of us TV series, live action one piece and arguably barbie depending on who you ask.

Disney films arguably have gotten a bit too repetitive in the type humour tropes and story telling they have done so they are in a bit of a decline, though hopefully films they do this year like deadpool 3 will do really well. Superheroes marvel got a bit lazy with the humour, their standard formula minus gaurdians 3 and loki season 2 and arguably the effects though that genreally been a problem with studios in genreal with how they treat effect artists. While dc failures are partly due to the fact the are rebooting under James gun, so no one wants to see them until then at least.

Granted films have also been affect by the writers and actors strike and that has probably effected alot ofbbehind the scenes for most films, hopefully now that's been sorted you can get back to better quality, with dune part 2 being a promising start.

Now for one piece live action many of the first time fans are probably those who may have wanted to try out one piece, but never could because they were etheir put off of oda's art style or episode length. Because let's face it for some a 1000s chapters or episodes is alot of time and commitment. An 8 to 10 episode season can be alot more easier to digest.

Also the casting is very great for one piece, inaki in particulary really captures the character of luffy, heck even oda comments that he make lines work for his portrayal of luffy work that he think wouldn't work in the manga.

For the naruto live action movie quality, well at the very least I can see being decent at least sine the action in shang chi was good. Whether or not it will attract new fans or old one depends, if it stays true to most of the things that made naruto originally great I can see it drawing them in or if it does changes that are better than in the managa I can see some prefer the live action movie over the manga. Mainly the romance and portrayal of the female cast, if it does them better than what kishimoto did, I could see some people checking it out to perhaps see something they wished the manga did.
