No, but since Shippuden has started, Naruto Uzumaki has been cliché.

Don't start :|
I only speak the truth.
Its no use, he is completely infatuated with naruto
You are right. I wake up every day around 3:00 AM and worship the Naruto poster I have in my room. I also wear Naruto underwear and have a Naruto night light to keep me from being scared of the dark because Naruto Uzumaki will be with me and protect me.

Genuis guys are too epic, I like them. Loud and dumb characters annoy me a lot.

I like genius characters (minato, kakashi, shikamaru), as long as they are not arrogant a$$hole

Characters are all about the personality and their goals.
People who like characters because they are the strongest/smartest are pretty shallow.

Underdogs always make better and more interesting characters in my opinion

What about people who like the weak and dumb characters?

As i said it's all about the personality and their goals.
Do you like characters that only are strong and don't have personality and background?

Depends on the genius. I really like Minato and Kakashi, but I don't care for Sasuke or Neji. Cold, emotionally distant, emo types don't interest me in the slightest.

A lot of people like Madara because of his power. Is that a reason to call them shallow because they have a preference for strong characters? I don't think so. If they prefer someone for just their power than so be it. What's the difference between that and someone just liking someone for just being cute or liking someone for being like them personally. It's not shallow as at the end of the day, it is just fictional characters anyway, so if someone likes someone for just being strong then it really shouldn't matter.

I never said it matter, i said it was shallow: of little depth, superficial, facile, simplistic, oversimplified.
You sure got defensive.

No its the other way around for me, The Started from the bottom, to Greatness characters, are cliche to me, Every "Natural Genius" character has a new way of portraying their roles, i already knew Naruto was destined for greatness, ever since i first watched the show

Genius characters might still have to work hard to achieve their goals and/or have personality flaws or weaknesses, I mean, Edward Elric is considered a genius, but he isn't boring. Genius characters that simply know everything out of nowhere are more Sue-ish than anything.
