You know personally, I never really saw Hanabi as a sweet girl. I always wanted to show her as vain, cold-blooded, and always sticking out her tongue at Hinata. It would've been more enjoyable that way. Also worth noting: the very fact that Hanabi - a character that got no attention in the manga yet gets this and several anime episodes - basically PROVES that SP forced Kishi to make the movie and their vision of the ending.
