Hashima had the chance to live, there were options. if you ever want to take it back we could pull a medical deus ex machina and some miracle procedure saves her or something.
Stuff like this is what I mean. Boruto is not the most likable characters. He has flaws, legitimate character flaws that he can mature and grow from. Actually get some significant development down the road.
It's like Korra versus Aang. People (ATLA hardcore fans) disliked Korra because she was different from Aang and focus on her flaws. I was like that at the start. Korra is less annoying out of the gate than Boruto but Korra was not the most likable character from the start. Cocky and rash in her actions. But she grew and matured as the series progressed. By the end she became one of my favorite protagonists in anything.
Boruto could grow into a better character. Being flawed at the start is not a death sentence in my opinion.
As long as their goals are perfectly justified I wouldn't mind him wanting to be Hokage. The only reason he doesn't want to be Hokage is because he feels the position took away his relationship with his dad. Though, honestly everyone else in his family seems to take the situation better than he does. Although I can understand his feelings, it's kinda one sided because he doesn't really try to understand what Naruto is doing and what the role of Hokage means. They could've used Himawari better by showing her to have similar emotion to Boruto and then he'd get my sympathy, but she doesn't bitch nearly as much as Boruto does and it makes it look like just that- he's being a bitch. I just mentally attached the tsundere tag to him since it fits.
The way they show it makes me sympathize with Boruto but also Sympathize with Naruto(e.g. Himawari's B-day) but then they show Naruto actually trying and Boruto just being 'tsun' and that kinda kills my sympathy for him.
