Nostradamus

Ah they have leaks for the Naruto Live Action.

 

 

There is nothing more blatant of a lie in Hollywood. Than the phrase, "Faithful to the Source Material."

 

From what I understand its going to be an "adaptation" of the Land Of Waves Arc. Let's be honest. That is the only really adaptable arc in the manga.

 

Well, they are going with SS. Sakura is going to be a rich girl boss, Naruto is going to be a nerd, and Sasuke probably going to be the cool guy that loves her. They are 18. Besides the Sasuke thing they actually swapped Naruto and Sakura backstories. Granted you are not allowed to kill the mom in a Hollywood movie. It offends the primary target audience of Liberal Middle Age White Woman in Hollywood.

 

They will likely keep Naruto crying over Sasuke's body and him flipping out to make them queer coded. But If Kakashi is not there Sakura is going to be soloing Zabuza.

 

This is going to do...wonders isn't it. Mind you, "Sakura was apparently so hated in the West Kishimoto. That they decided she needed to be the main character of the movie." The Irony.

 

Reminder that this has taken over 12 years to make at this point. And it is likely going to be a complete mess and likely bomb.

I love how it starts with "It's very faithful to the source material" then proceeds to describe all the ways it's not faithful at all to the source material. lol

This is worse than the Doomsday leaks.

Oh boy. Here we go again.

So we're getting a "new" ending/extra stuff added to it. I don't even know where to start with this one.

So apparently we're getting the Naruto vs Sasuke fight that Sasuke talked about at the end of the manga. Well no thank you.

I can't believe after all these years they haven't learned a thing. Adding extra stuff to the original crap ending or modifying certain things but keeping the same ending is not what any of the fans asked for or wanted.

This doesn't show them recognizing that they messed up and are now trying to fix it, this is just them doubling down. Basically giving the middle finger to the fans. Which in turn will get the same treatment from the fans.

This is not going to work for them since all they're doing is adding extra bits to the mess and calling it a day.

We need a true redo of the ending chapters. They have to pick a moment from the manga let's say chapter 670 (don't remember what exactly was going on in those chapters) but let's say this one and declare that everything that originally happened back then no longer exists. They have to set a cutout point and declare that everything past this chapter no longer exists. It's no longer canon. Should not be taken in consideration at all. It's gone. It got erased from canon existence. It exists in what was done back then, but it's no longer part of Naruto, of the story. It was a mistake of the past. One we need to move on from it to build a better future.

I say this because we all know that Naruto has many problems and let's be realistic a true re-write of the manga will never happen and it's not really feasible. So what can you do is deliver a new ending and continue from the new ending. And with the ending, you can't just redo a chapter and problem solved. You have to go back a bit, not much, but just a little bit to give yourself something to work with.

What I would've done and this is something I just came up as I was writing this message.

Is pick the moment after Madara does his infinite tsukuyomi and redo those moments. Have Naruto and Sasuke struggle to defeat Madara, don't resurrect Kaguya, with help from Obito, Kakashi, Sakura they manage to defeat Madara (or do they), undo the infinite tsukuyomi, then Sasuke retreats and warns Naruto to be ready for their final showdown. A battle to determine the true way of the ninja world. And one of them will have to die.

We see Naruto and the rest back in Konoha; Sakura and Naruto have a proper talk about everything, she opens up about the fact that she almost lost him in the war and doesn't to lose him, that he was dying in her arms while she was pumping his heart, she opens up to the real meaning behind her confession to him, that she grew to care about him way more than she thought she ever will, that the younger self was infatuated with Sasuke because all the other girls were as well, but over time she realized that is was just a childhood crush and the one she fell for was right next to her. This is also where it's finally revealed that Naruto was the one from the bench that day. Thus NaruSaku becomes canon as it was suppose to be from the very beginning.

Hinata gets her closure as well because she realizes that she never was in love with Naruto, but his never giving up attitude which helped her grow.

And we get to the final battle Naruto vs Sasuke. The battle is decently long, not like it was originally, it's not rushed, it's well done, good dialogue, etc.

And here we get a twist. Madara returns. It's revealed that in the fight against Naruto and Sasuke; he couldn't beat them all, so he used Izanagi like he did in his fight against Hashirama. He realized that he would've lost against them so he decided to retreat and allow Naruto and Sasuke to weak each other out or even take each other out and then he (Madara) springs into action as the true victor.

Madara goes for Sasuke, and Naruto jumps in the way saving Sasuke, but he himself (Naruto) gets badly injured. And because of Naruto's words (Talk-no-Jutsu) to Sasuke during their battle and his action; Sasuke realizes that his way of ninja is wrong and does one final act that saves Naruto's life from Madara's attack. A callback to when he stepped in from of Haku's attack.

I came up with this as I was writing. I'm sure given the right amount of time they can come up with something much better and better organized and something impactful.

But as it is from the news that surfaced, it's going to suck big time for them. Since it's really just a retelling of the ending with some extra bits added on top of it. Meaning not addressing the issues at all. Doubling down.

This is not going to win anyone back. This is just fuel on the dumpster fire. The trash is still there on fire, it's just more trash and more fire on top.

No thank you. I have no interest in this at all. They can shove it where the sun doesn't shine.

Hey I got some replies. lol

Good to see you guys.

I have no idea what happened to Smiter. I tried to contact him through the firm that sold the domain, but it was a really weird way because the firm didn't give a proper way to contact the owner. The only way was through them, they acted like a proxy.

And honestly I have no idea if the message got to him or not. Maybe it did because someone bought the domain and the forum is up.

This is the part where it would be great to know who saved the forum.

Like I said above a few days ago when I saw the auction, I was tempted to buy it myself.

Thing is as far as my knowledge about websites go, I know the domain and the database are separate things, so getting just the name of the website wouldn't bring back the forum. And for that reason I stepped back and said no. I didn't want to screw things up.

I don't have any connections to Smiter or any of the moderators. I tried to contact Tricksie on X (twitter) she didn't respond.

I tried to find Derock, but I failed.

Someone saved it. Whoever it was, thank you.

I don't know who did this, but thank you for bringing back the forum.

Happy New Year everyone.
