I finally caught up and binged the show over the past few weeks and this is my NUMBER ONE complaint about the show. The new ninjas get their abilities basically randomly from episode to episode instead of training hard for it like Naruto did in the originals, so when they show us something new it's like their pulling a new ability completely out of their ass.
The development of boruto himself has been interesting but they took him into a different direction than I expected or wanted. I didn't watch the movie or watch the manga, I thought the headband in the first ep meant he was gonna become a rogue ninja, or travel with Sasuke, so I was getting ready for that, that would've been good, but now I'm not so sure that will happen.
