Got into a heated debate about filler arcs at a con in Austin

This guy in a Naruto jacket yelled 'skip the boat arc' during a panel, and the whole room started arguing. I used to watch everything, but now I just check a guide first. What's the one filler you'd tell a new fan to avoid?

Wait, he yelled that at a panel in Austin? That's wild, I was there last year and the vibe was so chill. Okay, but to answer the question, the one filler to skip is the entire Naruto 'Ninja Clans' filler stretch. It's like twenty episodes of pure nothing right after a huge fight. It kills all the story's momentum dead. A new fan would just give up.

Yeah, the vibe at those panels can flip so fast. I saw a guy get into a full on screaming match over Goku vs Superman at a con once. Security had to come over. It's funny how heated people get over stuff that's supposed to be fun.
