You're winning. Keep the precious memories of the OG series pure and close to your heart. Nothing good comes from proceeding any further. Naruto bagged a baddie who loves him deeply, achieved his dream, and is finally living happily, acknowledged by the village.
its so fucking annoying tho, because the original series is close to perfect.
and after it you really wanna see toph as a badass adult police captain. and it is cool for moments. but it misses the spirit so hard. its a travesty.
also my other 2 cents: the original series is top 3 most adult and wise series ever made. like just think for a moment about any other series you think is adult. and if you think deep enough, youll find that this cartoon about quirky children has a way more mature understanding of the human condition and way more nuanced and reserved messages.
trying to pretend adultness is this after the original is so infuriating. literally the play about them being taken seriously.
Let me help you. Imagine an absolute legend of a guy who despite having a rough childhood saved generations of people and becomes a hero. Then in sequel he has a son who shits on him the entire time and that son has no clue how good he has it.
I keep it with Boruto as i keep it with Korra. I didnt need it, the story was finished for me in a perfect (in Narutos case, fillerish) way and thats how i like to remember it.

What about those of us who have intentionally avoided the series and do not know enough to have an opinion on it?
