Shounen does involve a lot of tropes, and like any other trope, you got bored after seeing it over and over again. And some grow up watching these, so they have a lot of exposure to the trope.
Shounen tends to be simplistic in its way of presenting things, so indeed as one grow older one will want to have more "challenging" shows.
But, just because they're simple and cliched doesn't mean they're wrong. It IS important to treasure your friend. Staying true to one noble ideals even if met with pitiful end IS a sign of strength. It's just that because in shonen these endeavors are generally rewarded big time (unlike irl) which made some people belittles them.
People who holds such highly "shonen"-ish view tends to be called a fool irl. But they're the fool who've never lost to themselves. Personally I admire them, because I know I'm too weak to become that guy.
