The main things I have against Boruto are no concept of power scaling, making the same mistakes shipudden made, and how they just abuse the old characters or dreg them up to make something seem threatening. The power scaling in Naruto went out the window after the pein arc and one reason I was excited for Boruto was to see things go back how they were. People weren't planet busting monsters. Instead the first thing we find out is Kaguya has relatives from an alternate space that are as strong or stronger then her apparently preparing to invade the world.

What? Ignoring the fact that that plot point seems like it's taken from the crack pot show ancient aliens the fact that there is no real build up to it and it's dropped on academy or genin Boruto is just nuts. The fact Boruto is the only one able to stop them was even dumber. Naruto started out about being about hard work overcomes talent and all that. Then it switched to chosen ones and now Boruto is the chosen one. That's beyond stupid.

It has too many characters I'd rather see just like the old series. I got tired of the same characters and since most the next generation are copies of their parents I'm bored with most of them. I wanna see more from Denki and the other kids and we're not even past 50 episodes or chapters and I'm already tired of most of the main kids and the secondary characters kids.

Back to power scaling I'm getting whiplash from this show. The kids are op then the adults who are supposed to be strong are hot garbage. Look at the latest arc with the new Mist swordsmen. They're a utter joke. However they are able to get one over on veterans from the last war from some reason. The seven swords are the Mist's super weapons and these clowns who have no right to be acting like hot stuff nor any power to back it up literally just walk in and take them. I don't even think the chest holding the damn swords was even locked! All that was guarding them was some crappy puppets that didn't even fire a shot or throw a punch. This makes everyone in the mist seem utterly incompetent. Watching Buroto is for the most part like watching the crap Naruto filler. Naruto has made millions so why on earth these story writers and animators can't put any effort into this series is beyond me and I hope it gets canceled.
