>T-the movie isn’t badly written, y-you’re just dumb!!
They knew what fucking message each individual scene would send. They put her into those situations where she would look weak and unimpressive and that’s not even mentioning her crying because she noticed some other woman’s scarf on Naruto or showing more emotion for another scarf than for her own sister whose eyes got taken away. Neji thing you may be right about but still, not a single mention? Not even for a callback to a scene where they held hands? Not a single thought bubble in the mind-reading scene? An opportunity to make genuine kino and they didn’t even consider it.
>B-but she couldn't lay a finger on a moonbusting monster literally orders of magnitude stronger than Pein
Hamura’s. Fucking. Chakra. Remember Naruto kicking the shit out of Juubidara IN BASE after receiving Sage’s chakra? And again, why put her into a cage? It didn’t even lead to anything thematic like her breaking the cage that Neji couldn’t.
>where both Naruto & Hinata specifically had to work together to destroy Toneri's doomsday weapon, or how Naruto was only able to keep fighting because of the DEM chakra she received
So like i said, she served as a battery and didn’t do much else in a grand finale movie and her only chance to get some action before getting shoved off into the cuck corner she’s yet to leave.
