After One Piece Live Action’s massive success, the fans saw several iconic anime come out of the blue to announce their live adaptations. One of them is Naruto. The news has been circulating through the internet for quite some time, and the executives have confirmed that the series is under development and they might soon have the release date announced as well.
But amidst such developments, there seems to be a problem with Naruto Live Action, and it has already worried fans. They believe that the series might be declared a flop even before it gets released. The news about Tasha Huo joining Naruto Live Action as a scriptwriter has caused a stir among the fandom, albeit negatively.
Fans Are Lowering Their Expectations After Tasha Huo Joined the Naruto-verse
Lionsgate will produce Naruto Live Action. Most likely, they will release the movie under their banner. While the series is under development, it was revealed that Tasha Huo has joined the project as the scriptwriter. She already has a script ready for the project, and it might not be long before the live adaptation begins shooting.
BIG NEWS ALERT 🚨

A NARUTO LIVE ACTION MOVIE is in development by @Lionsgate ‼️

Rather than being excited, the fans are worried about Tasha Huo’s presence. Tasha Huo was the scriptwriter of Netflix’s The Witcher: Blood Origin, a prequel to The Witcher. The Witcher is one of the best video game franchises, but the fans despised how Huo developed the script. This led to the downfall of a series that had massive potential to be one of the most popular shows ever.
The Witcher: Blood Origin received negative reviews, and fans were disappointed to see a great plot get butchered. Now, Tasha Huo joining the Naruto Live Action team has made the fans think about the disappointment lying in front of them. They fear she might not get hold of the emotions behind the characters, leading to the project’s downfall.
Fans Have Their Fingers Crossed For Naruto Live Action
Netflix’s One Piece Live Action has made history and delivered more than what the people expected. Naruto Live Action would also like to repeat that success. But with Tasha Huo joining the team, the fans feel it to be a distant achievement. Henry Cavill’s The Witcher had a great plot, but The Witcher: Blood Origin left an awful aftertaste for the fans.
Fans also low-key blame The Witcher for Huo to join the Naruto verse. If they did not leave her in between, she would not have joined the live adaptation of one of the Big Three of anime. But at the end of the day, the fans have their fingers crossed to see something magical happening. Even though there has been no rivalry between the anime, the fandoms think otherwise.

Watching One Piece soar through the sky has already made Naruto fans want more from the live adaptation. But Huo joining them could be a massive blow to that want. It is still too early to judge her based on just one bad performance. Time will tell whether she upholds her name or repeat the past.
