Rather than being excited, the fans are worried about Tasha Huo’s presence. Tasha Huo was the scriptwriter of Netflix’sThe Witcher: Blood Origin, a prequel toThe Witcher. The Witcheris 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 Originreceived negative reviews, and fans were disappointed to see a great plot get butchered. Now, Tasha Huo joining theNaruto Live Actionteam 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 ForNaruto Live Action
Netflix’sOne Piece Live Actionhas made history and delivered more than what the people expected.Naruto Live Actionwould also like to repeat that success. But with Tasha Huo joining the team, the fans feel it to be a distant achievement. Henry Cavill’sThe Witcherhad a great plot, butThe Witcher: Blood Originleft an awful aftertaste for the fans.
Fans also low-key blameThe Witcherfor Huo to join theNarutoverse. 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.
