And Here We Are Again

Sasuke's motivations in this weird filler arc au are shallow and stupid, but at least they're staying true to some of their key moments. Even if I think this arc just doesn't make sense.

They gave us a New Angle!!!!

On the iconic Sasuke Hanging Over Naruto In The Rain scene.

The original, of course, being this one

All the other flashbacks have been similarly horizontal. But this time, we got a diagonal to Really drive the point home

#speculation nation #fanny watches naruto #im watching the damn filler arc to see more characters in action and some of it's kinda fun but most of it's stupid and boring.#sasuke's entire motivation is just. wanting to be stronger than naruto??? not a revenge arc???#which is why it feels so shallow. literally his only struggles are being jealous of naruto & being constantly compared to itachi by his dad #which sucks dont get me wrong. but enough for him to go to orochimaru's side over it????#also they had him as a cop. complete with police brutality. before his subordinates police brutality'd too hard and he got ousted #none of this makes sense. yahiko died from a passing whim by deidara. literally blew up a town just for funsies????#for some reason anko yugao and hayate are in the foundation. sai and yamato make sense but why are those 3 there???#and WHY is kushina reduced to being a HOUSE WIFE. even when sasuke's platoon broke into her home she didnt get to fight!?!??!#shes the goddamn JINCHUURIKI for christ's sake!!!!! god i fucking hate the misogyny in this show.#ultimately this filler au is trying to recreate events of the main show while key motivating factors do Not exist #such as the uchiha massacre (biggest one) and minato's death. also shisui's still alive. thats cool. too bad hes mostly ignored too.#honestly minato would be like. what. almost 40 by now?? i feel a little cheated that he still looks early 20s. wheres my fucking DILF!!!!!!!#only thing i'll really say for this arc is that it's got some cute moments and it is staying true to key narusasu moments #...... while also not actually making this progression of events make sense.#also WHYYYYY DID ITACHI POP INTO EXISTENCE TO TAKE THE HIT (literally pointless bc they ran into each other anyways)#and they had a whole conversation suspended in midair?!?! before he literally dissolved into light!?!??!#last i checked corpses dont do that!!!!! and THEN THEY STILL RUN INTO EACH OTHER.#it's so fucking STUPID!!!!!! never thought id see a major character death more baseless and stupid than neji's. but here we are.#oh yay!!!! theres only 4 episodes left of this stupid filler arc. i feel like im too invested by now to not finish it.#but damn i am NEVER watching it again.
