Naruto retroactively destroys a lot of its early writing with questionable revelations found in its later parts.

Stuff like Naruto being an underdog (except he's the Hokage's son), Sasuke and Itachi's relationship, Gaara's origin and backstory... it felt like the plot lost itself somewhere around the timeskip. Many popular characters with potential were also sidelined.

So far, MHA is actually focusing on its main character, having a rival that hates him (but is still made clear to be on the same side) and another rival that, despite being gloomy and distant, is still his friend (thus both avoid one of the main criticisms about Sasuke).

It also doesn't make the adult Pro Heroes useless, always reminding the viewers that Izuku and his class are inexperienced and not as strong as them. Naruto had this habit of having the ninja students be more skilled than even the ninja special forces. This stuff among others makes the world feel more believable.
