Incoming Class - Who Gets the Trial By Fire Issue?

[Faded]

It was surge that lead the team during messiah complex. Those kids fought a nimrod, belasco, and purifiers. Theses circus freaks at the school now arnt even allowed to fight.

I enjoy the "circus freaks" more because they are a bit more atypical and strange than the Saved by the Bell: Torture Years crew who are all the generically pretty kids go through the grinder for the sake of intense melodrama. They are bland because they are so neatly formed archetypes with little deviation from the norm, much like any crew from a post-Scream slasher flick.

That's because Aaron doesn't want to write them.

Nobody has wanted to write them cause they are awful. One day the fans of these characters will get this. They remind me of my high school students from the other day who couldn't spell "Holiday". That's not even a tough word. But they are so self-involved they have no idea whats going on around them or when they look like idiots. I'm still convinced the group should have left and became villains after the mansion was destroyed. They should resent the X-Men. It's the best option for these losers aside from another bus accident.

We'll see how much these last once Aaron leaves.

Smh one man trash is another man treasure I guess. 5 years from now these characters will never be seen again because marvel will realize how dumb these characters are

When Aron leaves these characters will be shipped to limbo where they rightfully belong

Well you pretty much summed it up. But, you know, i still hate to see a good super power go to waste, guess I'm just shallow like that. There were still options for these kids from a literary stand point and I don't think anyone ever took advantage. Hence a huge group of 2 dimensional people pleasers.

That's just it, Gillen created Idie, Evan is Remenders, Glob and Quinten are from Morrison. Broo is from...I forget who wrote that Astonishing arc. None of them were from Aaron except Shark Tits, Eye Boy (who probs will bite it) and Jia Jing (who we haven't even seen yet).

Haters gon' hate, because the Academy Xers' five years are almost up.

If we're going for weird, i'll need more than an overly-mammaried Jabberjaw, and a clearly unimaginative amalgam of previous NXM characters.

The right-wing idiot crustacean is good for a few laughs, but I see him overstaying his welcome already.

I mean, let's be frank, there's no pathos here. The Lights had issues of their own, but at least we could get motivation and relatable identification from them.

I don't see anyone else using them, frankly, because they're not very good. They're cartoonish thumbnail sketches masquerading as characters we should be interested in.

The Lights were by far the most well-written of ANY of the 2000's students, dare I say even moreso than my favorite Morrison creations, despite some generic and unattractive designs that has probably and always will hold them back.

Few of the current students really hold any star value to me (although I'd begrudgingly give Rockslide a double-jointed half-thumb up), but I feel as though I'm backing who would be the most entertaining stage prop.

Shark-Girl wins the audition through a fun introductory issue over the sterile, tear-stained cardboard cut outs fandom is outraged she has usurped.

I don't really know who she's usurped. Surge? Teon? It's not even a matter of her filling a previously-unoccupied niche - it's the cheapness behind the whole premise, the sketch that's more visual gag than actual development.

Shark Grrl is a fierce eco terrorist and did us a favour by usurping Kid Gladiator.

Well that's watx for you. These characters aren't sustainable outside of this kitsch environment.

Glob Herman has outlasted the Academy X kids.
