Naruto-an anime/manga to make losers feel good?

  I dunno abt you, but I see that most of the characters are quiet,shy,angsty and drop-outs. I know there are geniuses, but they are usually there for the protagonists to beat them and show their hidden potential, thus slowly shedding their dropout status. Also, I've noticed that most of them have a very sad past (especially gaara, I don't think I want to be in his shoes), we feel their pain so we tend to pity/care for those kind of characters more.
  
  Tell me, is there a propaganda hidden somewhere in the storyline? e.g dropouts will eventually surpass a genius by hardwork. But what if a genius works hard? He/she should be better than the droput that works hard too or maybe even harder.
  
  And also, some fights are a fluke e.g naruto grabbing Kabuto by one of his hand (wow,a small boy overpowers an adult) and Kabuto standing there like an idiot, struggling and NOT AT ALL thinking of making the next move?
  
  I do enjoy this show, but the popularity is so immense that I can't help but ask why. I guess most people do really love the underdogs more than the winners, because they can relate to them more

  Yes, I do like to see people who get Distinction all the time beaten by a person with straight F9s... Somehow I just like the thrill.
  
  Perhaps I am just crazy, but I would really feel thrilled, excited and happy to see those Ah Bengs in the school... not normal Ah Bengs, those tat actually have some big background and is respectable everywhere.
  
  I would like to see them suck and lick my shoes while I split and kick them...I would really thrill me... make me feel SHIOK!
  
  Maybe I am just crazy.

  u can jus brush off the issue by saying its jus a KIDS ANIME but the fact is naruto is bursting with so many lessons bout morals and stuff. But in the anime i tend to like the underdogs more, they are more interesting. The main ones like sasuke and naruto have boring abilities, gimme temari and shikamaru anytime
  
  Other den that yes naruto is damn draggy after episode 100 lol...all the rubbish filler......the best is Chunin Exam and the chase for sasuke!!!!!
  
  and bleach rocks too!!!
