Honestly, Sakuta just feels like an inferior mirror of Tomoya from Clannad. Excessively helping others but never themselves. Making everyone like them and not realising it until it's way too late. But what I'll grant Tomoya is that no matter which arc you choose in the end, the guy learned the hard way the consequences his actions had and that in order to be worthy of someone he had to improve himself. I can't say I ever saw Sakuta do that in any significant way and he took his hill to die on way too far.
As for the upcoming movie, hope the post-chuuni/rebooted Kaede gets some good treatment.

I know kindness can be cruelty is a thing and yet coming at it from Sakuta's POV and his background I get where it came from and it lead him to both positive and negative experiences in the actual series, even if in the movie it ended up causing him the biggest emotional anguish.
