???

That's not, like... any better?

She's a great character. Simple but great.

 

[UchihaSlayer96]

She's a great character

Okay, buddy. Off to the gulag with you!

 

[Arc7Kuroi]

Hinata is just not a great character. Like simmer down Tdjwo2

 

[HelloThere1089]

That mantle isn't thrown around, it's earned. One needs to make 6 threads trying to upgrade Hinata to tier 5 for like being able to slap Kawaki or sumn.

Hinata is just not a great character. Like simmer down Tdjwo2

But she's also not bad

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[OneBleachHurricane]

She's down bad for Naruto though

 

[Gokukid2005]

Yeah Ion rlly think a lot of the female characters are bad in my opinion
Tsunade, Chiyo, Ino, Sakura - great
Konan, Temari and Hinata - needed more time/spotlight but aren't bad
Karin and Mei - Definitely need rewrites/actual development cause the seeds are there but not much is done with it
That's basically it
The rest are side characters I couldn't care less about how well they're written

What about Kushina?

 

[MinatoSparkle]

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh

You right she is bad, just not as a character

 

[SlendVeny]

What about Kushina?

Kushina's super underdeveloped imo. She's awesome, but we almost ever see her outside of her interactions with her son or husband.

 

[SlendVeny]

I wouldn't joke about Tier 5 Hinata, she canonically survived a fight with Momoshiki.

 

[Gokukid2005]

What about Kushina?

**** I KNEW I WAS FORGETTING SOMEONE
She's in great

 

[BlastX]

TBH when it comes to female Naruto characters I don't feel them any worse than their male peers.

Everyone is secondary to Naruto and Sasuke and to a lesser extent Sakura (and it's not a bad thing) any problem they have the guys have it too, so I don't see what the big fuzz is about.

Starting.

I've never really read Naruto's manga, only watched the anime, and that was a long time ago, so this is really gonna be a new experience for me.

 

[Ghostimuscrime]

Those characters aren't oversexualized, boobs exist irl, believe it or not.

You brought up KAGUYA.

kaguya was good, people have contentions in her timing, without that shes solid,
i enjoy it when im reading the kaguya fights to fish for feats and see the characters work agaisnt each other and drop more narratives, its fun, shes great

 

[Ghostimuscrime]

it's tragic that naruto is plagued with an audience that cant help but trash talk it's characters and writing too

kishi deserves better smh

all the so called criticisms I've read in these 3-5 pages are dumb gripes that people never apply with any other series

Kushina of all people is NOT underdeveloped, she was a perfect character that concluded properly, people gotta stop complaining about needing extra extra with characters which when you ask them how theyd further the character they never produce anything substantial or compelling whatsoever cough cough dygoknight

 

[Testarossa002]

I think Kushina was great too
She was dead so there wasn't a lot of opening for character development. Besides, not every character needs development.
It's like saying Hagoromo is badly written because he showed up for like 5 chapters and dipped. When that was the whole purpose for his character

You can't be badly written as a character if you serve the purpose you were intended to serve. A lot of critics simply can't decipher the purpose of a character and as a result, say a character (Shino for example) is badly written.

I don't do character/plot analysis btw. I simply rate characters/verses based off my own enjoyment. Probably explains why I like Korra (or TLOK in general) more than Aang.

I have said similar things about my goat

Honestly I feel like for the most part you don’t get PoG level brain dead criticisms anymore, people seem to be tending far more to the positive with their analysis of Naruto. Obviously there’s still brain dead level takes out there, and maybe it’s just cuz I surround myself with intelligent people, but the past few years of Naruto dialogue surrounding its storytelling have been mostly positive for me. Series is an easy 9/10 for me, so maybe I’m suffering from confirmation bias here but oh well.

And you were doing SO WELL until this line, too....

I think it's always been "mostly" positive, but yes the trend does seem to be rising in that sense. There are still far too many "Neji was right" and "The War Arc is a DBZ ripoff and has no strategy" ppl tho

And you were doing SO WELL until this line, too....

I was literally gonna give a huge like until that

No

Any particular reason?

 

[Ped2018]

Any particular reason?

I like my manga to be as close to the author's vision as possible

 

[Testarossa002]

I said what I said

 

[LordTracer]

I can’t co-sign this statement, but you’re still based for liking TLOK

 

[MinatoSparkle]

Fair, tho I feel like manga being black and white is more of a time thing than specifically wanting it to be like that (given that it's drawn weekly and all)

Hinata victim

I fw Korra too brother
You ain’t alone

 

[karo_senpaii]

We all secretly **** with korra

 

[MinatoSparkle]

We all secretly tell Korra to **** off

 

[Apollonir.Scale]

I saw this after ETSO CRTs. In The Last movie poster, it is stated that Naruto and Sasuke together create the MOST POWERFUL ATTACK IN HISTORY. Right after this statement, it is stated that Naruto's strongest attack is Rasenshuriken and Sasuke's strongest attack is Amaterasu. If we accept the movie posters as canon, does it take a scale above Etso because it says the strongest in history? Or is it said that Etso cannot be interpreted as just an attack?

 

[OneBleachHurricane]

Everyone involved in the whole ETSO fiasco:

 

[KaydeeX]

I’m Goddamn tired of hearing ETSO this or that every page
Put it in a well constructed ******* CRT or stfu

 

[MinatoSparkle]

Can't be as well constructed if it's not discussed

 

[KaydeeX]

Except that it has been discussed
more than it’s needed to be

I'm pretty sure this is a game only statement
I remember Rana using it for the storm profiles
The only thing on that poster is some Toneri > Kaguya meta
Unless there's another one
