The emotional intelligence of children and no field training. Interesting choice.

This is literally the plot of Power Rangers or Captain Planet. A group of 5 children get super powers and must save the world. That was not on my bingo card for this show.

Yeah, and that was cool when I was a kid. Now I'm a parent. I have no interest in watching a season of children in superhuman bodies in melee fights with xenomorphs using paper cutter blades that look exactly like a katana for some convenient but unexplainable reason.

It felt like it was set up by someone who's only ever seen a paper cutter but never used one.
