Anime doesn't really need to "evolve threats" though.
I feel when there's a continuation like that it shouldn't try to be "way more" then what the parents went through because it devalues what they did.
Like Boruto is a great example, its more then just "being upset that Boruto is stronger", it's the fact that Naruto grew from a little kid to an adult, started off weak asf, and then grew into an ultra powerhouse, we see some stupid shit like Boruto defeating an Otsutsuki in a clash, then have bonafide confirmation that not only does Boruto surpass his father by leaps and bounds (despite Naruto defeating by far the most powerful beings in his verse by far), but Naruto apparently dies? Okay, thanks for that Kishimoto.
It's almost like he forgot what quality was, but at least it LOOKED somewhat promising and for Naruto it did make sense for it to continue the story.
This looks like a blatant cashgrab that looks subpar from the first trailer, when the trailer looks shit, you know thats a bad sign.
