>merely nit picking points I'm giving specific examples of details of artstyle differentiation directly related to the argument. You're deflecting
>Explain how Boruto is an “edgy Gary Stu”I have, several times.
<MadaraI already stated that Madara was a stretch but even then Madara isn't the protagonist, but a main antagonist and ramping up the threat is standard shonen story practice.
>what about Boruto is “edgy” Besides his character design and 'too cool for this' attitude? A lot. Particularly the end of P1 and P2 is basically every Naruto fanfic where "Naruto gEtS bAnIsHeD fRoM kOnOhA" and wears black and is just so miserable and cool and everyone is obsessed with him a la Sasuke. This was already in P1 just less obvious

Orochimaru isn't superficial, he's a committed villain and evil scientist.
