I found it a little frustrating that established "X-Kids" were relegated to staying in school or hiding on Utopia while Hope was allowed to gallivant around with this very green recruits. We never feel the sense of danger that is needed in this situation. Heck, even New Mutants and Gen X had moments of "we're in over our heads here." The best part was Oya's complex moral struggles, which are basically thrown to the side once Wolverine takes her off to the campus. Suddenly she's comic relief and a love interest for Broo. That's a weird shift.
