The plots in general are weak, with little build-up or tension or gravity. Any attempted drama within the team feels weak since the women barely know each other. Singularity spent less than a day with A-Force in Arcadia (granted, they were the first people she ever knew). The antagonists are very dull and forgettable. A-force fails to find its own unique identity as it almost constantly mentions Marvel-wide events, ie, Battleworld, X-men vs. Inhumans, Civil War 2.
Its not even all that progressive. Remember, Arcadia A-force was Ultimately ruled by the white male tyrant Dr. Doom. The core team is mostly white, and mostly comes across other white women. The two times we see a black woman character, its just a pointless cameo. And Nico, the token Asian is written rather out of character, and the few times she mentions her old team the Runaways, she effectively shits on them.
A disappointing mess

Its no wonder this didn't last long.
