Agreed, X was always the better hero. I suppose the presence of Rush makes Megaman more clear in the fighting games, but still...

The one feature of X's that distinguishes him from Megaman the most is the red jewel in his helm, which is clearly missing from this version.

They should have used Rockman X instead. That would more than certainly fit the grimdark atmosphere.

"Because ending at 699 is anticlimactic. Why show that epilogue? Why not? We get to see how they are doing and we get to see that Naruto became Hokage. That really was the only point of 700."

So...no real answer then? Okay.

Trolling? If I was trolling, I wouldn't even bother replying you. Just because I posted a meme that you considered trolling and not a valid opinion (and an affront to Kishimoto and his work), doesn't mean I'm trolling. If you think I'm trolling, why the hell are you feeding me? Don't feed the trolls. Don't use the…

"Then was is so shitty about something that is not really part of the actual ending. "

What? Then why even bother publishing it? If it's "not really part of the actual ending", why even show it at the finale anyway? There is zero justification for that sort of thing. And if they wanted to show Naruto being Hokage, they…

Hahaha talk about crack pairings. But that was the difference: they both had no prior development before that, and so when it happened, it didn't need any justification. It was like, okay sure, why not.

That is exactly what I meant. Had it ended on 699, I would've been okay. The sudden rush you get in 700 just...hurts my head.

"The fact that you dismiss a narrative developed over 15 years, that's become one of the most successful franchises of all time and has generated major $$ in multi forms of media, as "just a manga" does negate calling you that name. More because you're now condescending to the medium, even though seemingly sensitive…

HAH! And I wouldn't be surprised too. Maybe they'll squeeze in 'flashbacks' that we haven't seen before? That might help justify some of the random stuff in 700.

...Do you even know what I disliked about the ending? I have no issues with everything you mentioned up there. I actually really liked 699, which covers everything you've mentioned above, except for the Hokage part. And I was fine with that too.

Oh, I have nothing against 'happily ever after'. What I have a problem with is how rushed it seems and how it just overturns the past several years of plot and character development of the characters. I would have even appreciated it if they had taken just several more chapters to flesh it all out so that 700 would…

Uh, okay.

Hey, that's exactly the same thing I said when I looked at the ending. I believed that Kishimoto had thrown out all of that plot and character development for his characters, and just reverted them to their 12-year-old selves for the ending, simply for the sake of his original vision of what the ending should be, and…

Uh okay dude. You need to calm down. It's just a manga. You don't have to call me names because you don't agree with my opinion and interpretation of it.

Oh yeah, the power of editors always make things better (most of the time). Hey, not liking how the ending was written doesn't mean I don't appreciate all the laughter and all the tears that Kishimoto gave to me. My dislike of it simply stems from my own literary analysis of the series; if this was the ending that he…

Hey, that's what fanfiction/fanart is for right? XD

The main storyline, at least. The spin-off goes off from the childrens' perspective, is what I'm thinking.

Okay.
