Get was obnoxious and bossy, but so is chase. Chase is just more of a douchbag and a homophobe. His character had no growth. Gert was at least intelligent. They even revealled in an alternate future she led the avengers

Yeah, don’t get me wrong. Chase is definitely a douchebag and a homophobe. I don’t like him either.

So in other words all teenagers are obnoxious?

I am shocked to my core, how could this have ever been predicted?!?

No not at all, in fact, like I said, I usually really like teen heroes. My problem isn’t with the concept or with teens (heck, I was a teen until last year). It’s the poor writing that bothers me.

Young Avengers, Ms Marvel and Lee and Ditko’s original run on Spider-Man are all you need as proof that teens can be believably well written without it seeming like the writers themselves hate them.

I mean, all teenagers are annoying lol

Uhhh teen heroes...

Idk i felt if anything runaways was better writing because the writer didnt try to make them likeable. They were a bunch of problematic youths who ran away from their troubled homes. They were supposed to be likeable. Molly hayes is a little more likeable, but she's like 11 years old. The rest of them were supposed to be very real. Nico is self-destructive. Gert was headstrong and self-righteous, thinking she was the smartest and most responsible. Karolina us supposed to be that happy-go-lucky teen whose hiding all her grief under fake smiles and happy colours. Chase is literally the asshole jock whose hiding his untapped potential because he hates his abusive father. Their dysfunctional. They're not supposed to liked. Thats just my take though.

I also liked that they arent really super heroes, and even when they hadd the opportunity to be they turned it down. They're just runaways, vegabonds. Their not a super hero team thats going to save the day, their just travelling and independent, trying to make a life for themselves unaided

^Well, I guess? If making them unlikeable was the point then the writer succeeded in spades. But, you know, not every teenager is unlikeable. You don’t have to sacrifice likability for realism. It’s not just a band of teens, it’s a band of really awful teens and nothing from the marketing to the writing really makes it too obvious that it’s in purpose. I also wouldn’t really call these characters realistic. They all have one or two unlikeable traits and no real redeeming ones. Molly and Xavin are the only two I’d call likable so far.

So, in essence what I mean to say is that unlikability doesn’t always equate realism. I don’t feel like the writer really respects or understand teenagers enough to write them effectively, even annoying teens have more layers than this, no one is entirely unlikable in real life.

Real people have their flaws and their charms. Ms Marvel is an excellent written teenager (in her own books). She has her flaws, she is hot headed and a little stubborn, but in the end of the day she really cares about people and knows what’s important for her. I don’t have a single clue as to what motivates these Runaways. They found out their parents were evil and killed them with barely any remorse.

I feel like I’m rambling at this point so I’ll get to the point. Teenagers are complex and should be written with respect, Runaways fails at that in my view and others like Ms Marvel and Young Avengers(sorta) have better results.

Personally i see your point but i see it from the opposite view because personally i think the runaways achieved it better than other comics.

I just started reading the runaways and to be honest I don't care for them all that much.
