He really does. It low key feels like Naruto cloned himself. Like I got just the bare minimum of Boruto Movie Boruto in this arc.
The first few episodes were strong, but it digressed.
Honestly Movie Boruto was a good step up from the ordinary protags b/c:
> He didn't preach about hard work or to never give up, because he didn't do this
> He was just simply a brat, meaning he's unlikable to most. Most MC's are likable characters who people have to white knight. Not Boruto.
> Was actually talented, which was a step up from Naruto's era.
> Took short cuts, which again was a perfect idea for an MC because most MC's advocate in the beginning that short cuts and being lazy are terrible attributes for a person.
Current Boruto is like a fan fiction version of himself.
I think they are just talking about his ninja path. Like Boruto's is Naruto's son, but he's already trained by Sasuke. So that's probably what they meant by the explanation. I mean this was pretty clear when Boruto said he wanted to be a ninja like Sasuke, who supported the Hokage. But he's also Naruto's son, so that's why I always thought he was gonna be similar to them both.
In regards to powers, I think he'll have more of Naruto's skill set, because obviously he doesn't have a Sharingan or a Rinnegan. But I think the eye and seal combination will have him differ from them both. However, I'm not getting my hopes up with this spin off.
They've shown time and time again that when they wanna do something new or interesting, it's the complete opposite.
