History YMMV / NewVindicators

*** Because having [[Series/{{Scrubs}} Dr. Cox]] in charge of the [[Franchise/XMen Xavier Institute]] would be, like, hilarious. Besides, Walkabout was too busing walking out of the story for good at that point.

* FanPreferredCouple: There is not a man, woman, or child alive who does not want to see Anomaly and Tripper together.
** As Women in the Oubliverse are essentially cheating machines, Anomaly and Tripper are liked mainly because they are the only central characters to have a functional relationship. But if upcoming arcs are to be believed [[TrueArtIsAngsty that's too boring]].

* TrueArtIsAngsty: The only happy moments characters experience seem to only happen when Michuru81 can't think of some tragedy to throw at them that day.
** This goes double if your name is Ben Altair or Magnus Loder. Though the latter pretty much [[WhatTheHellHero deserves it]].

* IdiotPlot: Let's get this straight: Lodestone's grandpa put the Wisent in jail when he was a young whipper snapper, he got a GED, got out, became a lawyer, became richer than God and wants revenge?
** I guess to be fair, Coach Crag does pick up his IdiotBall when he decides to declare war on the criminal world. Plus, who wouldn't want to make Magnus suffer?
** Moksha in its entirety. A mysterious armored man appears out of nowhere, gathers a bunch of SPBs together in Antarctica (violating a certain treaty by doing so) and founds his own nation. This is without talking to any other world governments or even TRYING anything related to international diplomacy. Is it really any surprise that [[spoiler: The US makes the fairly safe assumption that he's building an army and tries to nuke the places?]]

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Attempted with Sclera in a flashback.
* RomanticPlotTumor: Brass & Rumble.
* TheScrappy: Gabriel Farouk & Deimos being the most notable.

** Arguably, the one strong, responsible female adult character in the entire story was Natalie Styles. She was loved and respected by all her students, acted in relatively intelligent and reasonable ways and had the beginnings of a normal relationship with Michuru Bradshaw. [[spoiler: Naturally, [[StuffedIntoTheFridge she had to die as soon as possible]].]]

* MagnificentBastard: [[spoiler: Adonis Skraag and Abbadon.]]

[[spoiler: Naturally, [[WomenInRefrigerators she had to die as soon as possible]].]]

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: The Vindicators are in fact essentially Uncle Toms who by colluding with the government merely continue the cycle of racism in the world. Adonis is the story's true hero, fighting against this, albeit in [[WellIntentionedExtremist ill-conceived ways]].

* MagnificentBastard: [[spoiler: Adonis Skraag]] and [[spoiler: Abbadon.]]
* MoralEventHorizon: [[strike: The Affiliation]] Rift crosses it during the massacre at the school. Sclera crosses when he maims Tripper. Paragon [[CrossingTheLineTwice crosses it several times]].

* PuritySue: Rumble, [[CreatorsPet for obvious reasons]]. She remains essentially a perfect, incorruptibly [[{{Informed Attractiveness}} "sweet"]] girl and her only foray into evil wasn't really her.

** This goes double if your name is Ben Altair or Magnus Loder. Though the latter pretty much [[{{What The Hell Hero}} deserves it]].
* VillainSue: Contrary to common belief, Michuru Bradshaw is not the author insert. [[spoiler: That would be Adonis.]]

** As Women in the Oubliverse are essentially [[UnfortunateImplications cheating machines]], Anomaly and Tripper are liked mainly because they are the only central characters to have a functional relationship. But if upcoming arcs are to be believed [[TrueArtIsAngsty that's too boring]].

* UnfortunateImplications: This series carries several, especially in the area of how women are handled.
** Arguably the most egregious example of this so far was Donna-Anne and Steve Potter's side-story in Hostis Humani Generis.

** Adonis' speech that occurred recently in the campaign. Michuru81 posted it on the ATT recently. For some reason he choose not to include Bulwark's constant heckling throughout it. I wonder why.

** Also, most any and all flashback chapters. Especially if the flashback has to do with a character who the reader either does not care about or who has little to no significance to what's going on in the story at the time. So yeah, pretty much every flashback then.

* TheScrappy: The Rhino, Gabriel Farouk & Deimos being the most notable.
** To some characters like the Rhino are more along the lines of EnsembleDarkhorse.

* StrangledByTheRedString: Brass & Rumble are inexplicably attracted to each other and start a relationship pretty much off-screen. Why? Because the local MarySue needs herself a man naturally.

** Moksha in its entirety. A mysterious armored man appears out of nowhere, gathers a bunch of SPBs together in Antarctica (violating a certain treaty by doing so) and founds his own nation. This is without talking to any other world governments or even TRYING anything related to international diplomacy. Is it really any surprise that [[spoiler: The US makes the fairly safe assumption that he's building an army and nukes the place to cinders?]]

* CreatorsPet: Rumble. Loved by the author, check. Hated by fans and players alike, check.

** Female characters are treated very badly. It makes one think that Michuru81 has not had good experiences [[YouNeedToGetLaid in his personal life]].
