Boruto is Bearable (At Least More Than He Was)
Arguably the biggest problem with Boruto has been its main character. As soon as Boruto is introduced, he feels like a bad clone of Naruto, minus all of the stuff that made him interesting.
With Naruto, you had a character that was always down on his luck but still insanely positive. Using this positivity and a lot of hard work, he eventually gains the trust of the village, becomes ridiculously powerful, and realizes his dream of becoming Hokage.
Comparatively, Boruto is a kid that has everything: a loving family, a safe village, and great friends. Despite this, he’s still painted the same way Naruto is at the outset of the original series, acting out for attention and generally just being a brat.
Alongside his attitude issues, he’s also given ridiculously over-powered abilities while also somehow being painted as an underdog. This annoying combination is exactly the opposite of Naruto, who had to work hard to get his powers, getting beaten a lot to eventually grow.
Thankfully, Boruto is a bit easier to deal with now. Yes, he is still ridiculously overpowered, but he is far less of a brat than he was. You can tell he has grown to appreciate his family and friends now that he has more perspective on his lot in life, especially after seeing how rough Naruto had it when he was a kid.
