The main cast of teens (sans Pixie) that are supposed to be the "rebels" are the same ones that fell in line with Wolverine's "listen to authority! don't take action and follow the rules" dogma.
Would be more interested if there was more emphasis on the corrupt structure that they are fighting against rather than just the prospect of them "rebelling." Just sounds like they're getting mad because the professor told them that there are no negative numbers.
