| Hey guys, so Naruto Shippuden is basically done, or at least coming to a close. I actually saw a preview of Boruto and noticed that Naruto's son is the main character. And honestly I really don't like it. He's just an annoying brat. Yes, you can argue Naruto was the same way. Except he wasn't. Naruto did stuff like that to get attention from people, to take away from the loneliness from coming home to an empty room everyday and never having even met his parents. Boruto, on the other hand, is just a spoiled brat that is acting up just because Naruto, who is the freaking Hokage by the way, isn't paying enough attention to him. Not only does he not have the same charisma as Naruto, but also doesn't even have a back story where the audience would want him to succeed and prove everyone wrong. I'm actually quite disappointed. I really hope the end up adding some other elements or tragic events to make Boruto more likable. I don't know, maybe it was just the preview though and my thoughts will change after actually seeing the movie. What are your thoughts? PS: I really hope thy put in a Hinata-like character as a love interest as well. Or at least maybe someone like Rin. if they don't, I'm going to be so pissed. |

i don't think boruto character has enough explanation already to judge.. he is still soo shallow... not to mention the movie was rushed as fuck... i prefer waiting manga version pass anime because he look badass there... |

| Honestly, I thought Boruto was a huge ripoff/copyright violation of Naruto, until I found out that the entire franchise was so stupid that it's legit. Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post. |

| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| But Boruto is better than Sasookay who is really cool and Sackoora the beautiful. beside Boruto is still a kid, and only appears in movie and manga, give him a chance |

| Boruto has some interesting and realistically written daddy issues, what with his father being the Hokage and all. It's nice from a storytelling standpoint to see that it wasn't all roses and Naruto's greatest goal and achievement through his own story is negatively impacting his successor's. |
| Spoiled basically, just like the millennial. |

Sounds familiar? I personally didn't like it. Well, as a concept, it was okay. The issue I have is the execution and the resolution of the matter. I don't know about the manga, but from the movie,I just much prefer Naruto over Boruto, the writing felt more natural, the issues didn't seem forced, and they didn't resolve the issue within 2 hours span. It took a while to develop the characters, basically Naruto was a long-term plan. Boruto is just an extra without much thought being put in. To put it in perspective, it's like a long term better, stable relationship vs a short term quick sex, instant gratification relationship. |

| The characters in boruto pale in contrast to the original cast. For starts boruto needs to be more interesting. To me he come across as being annoying. |

"If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| or maybe the more simple problems like a distant father are way more relatable problems than everybody hating you for demonic powers thus making boruto a characters easier to cheer for |
| Isn't Sarada a potential love interest? |
  |
| He sucks. He's a douchebag (Just like Naruto), cheats on exams and shit (Just like Naruto) and he basically is Naruto, who is a douchebag and cheats on exams and shit. |
 |
| He's a kid, I'm not sure why people are expecting him not to be what he currently is, an annoying brat, like the majority of kids are, and regardless, as a kid, he still has a lot of room to grow. Also, not sure why you didn't just make this in the Boruto manga or movie sub forum. |
| Sarada is who I focus on, so as long as she gets ample screen time, I'm all good. |
   Things To Keep In Mind:
|
| I feel like this franchise needs to be euthanized. |
| "No, son, you may not have your body pillow at the dinner table!" |
| To be honest, I don't care none of that shit, or this shit or any shit that is happening to your head, OP... I just really want it to end. |

| It's obvious he would be a bad character. His father is Naruto and his mother is Hinata, two of the worst characters of their respective gender. You're going to be very disappointed if you have high hopes for any development on his part, simply because he's the son of a demigod, there's really no sense of danger for which his character can be built upon.

 Uh... Well, I find it interesting that Boruto continues the Naruto franchise using legacy characters, particularly in the form of the main characters' children. It feels like what DBZ was trying to accomplish, and while it may end up being the prolonging of a franchise that had already received its proper ending, it may also be a method of restarting the franchise's power level extravaganza to zero, allowing newcomers to enter the Naruto series with a fresh new start while giving old fans a nostalgic trip without having to relive old content. It's an interesting case study of a long running franchise given a new beginning, as we don't get too many of those. It's interesting to see how it will turn out in terms of its reception and its general quality with its new author. That being said, I haven't read/watched Naruto in years, nor do I know much about the Boruto series beyond Kishimoto's not really having a hand in its creation nor development. Like always, I hope for the best. There I tried >:O |
