I personally like boruto's rebellious nature. It would be extremely un-naruto-like if his son was suddenly obedient to authority. I find it ironic how you define Naruto as a whiny brat and not Boruto. If you ask me, they're both rebellious by nature. They're both overbearing and likes to show off. Even Boruto has his own speech pattern too with his constant Dattebasa. The only difference between them is that unlike Naruto, Boruto complains about the unfairness in his life and does nothing about it. Naruto, on the other hand, worked hard to overcome his issues. He doesn't whine and complain. He only talks about how he will overcome them. Which is exactly why I find it ironic for you to say that Naruto is a whiny brat when Boruto is the real whiny brat.

But who am I to judge. If you find Dattebayo to be more annoying than Dattebasa then that's on you. If you define Naruto's announcement to overcoming his weakness as annoying then it's your choice. And if you don't find Boruto annoying for constantly complaining about his life but does nothing about it then that's your opinion.

As for me, I didn't watch Naruto so I can see a character make mistakes only to regret them later on. I watch Naruto to see a character who choose to rise above his problems despite the suffering and pain in his life. A person who has every chance to fail and give up but choose not to. That's what I came to see.
