History YMMV / YoungAvengers

* FriendlyFandoms: With fans of ''[[ComicBook/NewMutants New X-Men]]'', ''ComicBook/{{Runaways}}'' and ''ComicBook/AvengersAcademy''. Vol.2 added ''ComicBook/JourneyIntoMystery'' fans with introduction of Kid Loki to the team and by virtue of being written by [[Creator/KieronGillen the same person]]. And of course last two issues of vol.2 took an advantage of it with Young Avengers inviting all other teen heroes on huge party.

* BaseBreaker: Loki, Billy, and America are the biggest, and Kate to a lesser extent. Loki and Billy are either great characters to read or a CreatorsPet and SpotlightStealingSquad respectfully, America is either a fun addition or a complete JerkAss, and Kate is either the best or worst thing about the Hawkeye series.

** Tommy is consistently the least developed member of the team, but is well liked by most of the fans, to the point that his lack of development is something of a sour point for many. He's also Kate's most popular hetero pairing, despite the two not actually officially hooking up.

* TheScrappy: Some fans still have yet to forgive Cassie for going over to the Pro-Regs during the Civil War, especially since her justification was "I don't want to go to jail like Wiccan," which according to some, made her appear cowardly and unwilling to stand up for her beliefs. Others chalk it up to bad writing.
** On a similar note, many readers won't forgive Patriot for screwing up Wanda's attempt to save the mutant race, leading to ''Avengers vs X-Men'', a story built atop a ''massive'' ConflictBall that both Avengers and X-Men fans tend to take issue with.
** David and Miss America for the new run, due to [[spoiler: David surprise kissing Teddy and Miss America no longer worshiping Billy Kaplan.]]

** And of course, the ''LokiAgentOfAsgard'' fandom, in large part because it essentially spun out from Gillen's run.

** Everything about the 2013 run from character design to storytelling to the writer's/fandom's treatment of the characters of colour, homosexuality, bisexuality, and mental health issues.
*** Lampshaded by Gillen after the spirited debate sparked by Billy and Teddy's new hairstyles.
-->'''Creator/KieronGillen''' ''(on the #4 letters page)'': "So many words have been written about Billy having discovered hair-gel and Teddy [having] discovered a pair of scissors. It's kind of amazing. Generally speaking, if I've learned anything about comics through YA, it's SEXUAL DISCOVERY = GOOD, HAIR-CARE DISCOVERY = BAD."
*** Hell, the ''first scene'' is split; Kate and Noh-Var's hookup in the opening either makes them unlikeable, or its just a sign of them being two happy, healthy young adults having fun. Even those who dislike it are splits; either they're too casual about it ([[SlutShaming especially Kate]]), or Kate's mini internal-shaming sends a bad message to how to react to having one night stands. In other words, its sex positive and that's bad, or its ''not sex positive enough''.

** The initial run also had flack for Patriot's drug addiction storyarc. Either it was rather well-handled and turned him from a JerkAss into a JerkassWoobie with a tinge of IJustWantToBeSpecial, which made him much more likeable and relatable, or it was incredibly [[UnfortunateImplications uncomfortable]] to have the black guy be the one to deal with drug addiction.
* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: Volume 2 comes with a complete soundtrack playlist courtesy of Gillen's blog, and a number of songs with some thematic resonance show up in the story. He also released Noh-Varr and Broo's full after-party playlist.

** LesYay: Kate and America is pretty popular, in fact probably the most popular Kate/Anyone pairing, thanks to their few interactions in Vol 2 having America sightly tease Kate, and calling her [[AffectionateNickname Princess regularly]]. The final issue having America come out as gay herself and claim that Kate's 'not that straight', really helps matters.

** AlasPoorScrappy: Many fans felt bad and cried when [[spoiler:Cassie died at the end of Children's Crusade after sacrificing her life against giant god-mode Doctor Doom]].

** JerkassWoobie: Loki. [[spoiler: the entire conflict is basically his own self-loathing and guilt personified, and it all started because of his gambit to steal Billy's power]].

** And with fans of current {{Hawkeye}} series, thanks to both being quite different in style from usual Marvel standard and sharing the character of Kate Bishop. It helps that Creator/MattFraction and Creator/KieronGillen are good friends.

* LauncherOfAThousandShips: Prodigy. He comes with one canonical, if sunk, ship from his [[NewMutants previous series]] (Surge), gets a lot of HoYay with Speed and [[spoiler: once he reveals his bisexuality, with Teddy]], possible FoeYay as Loki's rival and there is a small percentage of fans who were shiping him with Miss America on the basis of one scene from issue #8 [[spoiler: through that probably got sunk when we found out America is a lesbian]] and with Kate on the basis on small scene from issue #11.

* InternetBackdraft: The reactions of some fans to [=McKelvie=]'s redesign of Billy Kaplan are less than favorable. Detractors claim that it makes him look more stereotypical gay, thus hurting an up-to-then positive portrayal. The portrayal of Billy-Teddy relationship in the 2013 has also been received with hostility.

*** Hell, the ''first scene'' is split; Kate and Noh-Var's hookup in the opening either makes them unlikeable, or its just a sign of them being two happy, healthy young adults having fun. Even those who dislike it are splits; either they're too casual about it ([[SlutShaming especially Kate]]), or Kate's mini internal-shaming sends a bad message to how to react to having one night stands.

* EnsembleDarkHorse: During the first years of the Young Avengers, Kate never had the main focus of a story and was there only as the link that maintained the team together morally and financially. Later she somehow took the title of leader from Patriot and by 2013 not only she is one of the three original members to remain in the team (the others being the OfficialCouple) but also she is the only member to currently appear in two ongoing series at the same time as of the start of Young Avengers Volume 2 with a co-starring role in the current Hawkeye book. Kate is also often chosen as the most popular character of the team by fans (Wiccan or Kid Loki being the only members who can match her popularity).

* FriendlyFandoms: With fans of [[NewMutants New X-Men]], {{Runaways}} and AvengersAcademy. Vol.2 added ''ComicBook/JourneyIntoMystery'' fans with introduction of Kid Loki to the team and by virtue of being written by [[Creator/KieronGillen the same person]].

* HolyShitQuotient: Issue 8 of vol.2 - it has several strong moments that would each end up being a cliffhanger in another story - attack by monstrous versions of [[spoiler: Noh-Varr's first love, Exterminatrix]], then landing in a dimension where stars are [[spoiler: build into giant image of Billy]], then team getting separated after [[spoiler: Mother's attack]], then return of [[spoiler: JourneyIntoMystery character, Leah]] and finally [[spoiler: David kissing Teddy]].

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: Volume 2 comes with a soundtrack playlist courtesy of Gillen's blog, and a number of songs with some thematic resonance show up in the story.

* HilariousInHindsight: Wiccan's original name was Asgardian and based on Thor, but changed it due to possible jokes about a gay superhero whose name sounds like 'ass guardian'. Then lo and behold, Charmin used the joke on an ad on twitter for ThorTheDarkworld which has a large section of gay fan fiction.

** The new readers wanted ad Loki handed out in the promotional one-shot had an interesting curse attached: "Be there or be involved in a string of massive corporate crossover events for your entire run"... well, apparently ''he'' wasn't there enough because his [[Comicbook/LokiAgentOfAsgard new solo series]] was involved in ''[[Comicbook/OriginalSin bo]][[Comicbook/{{Axis}} th]]'' "[[CrisisCrossover massive corporate crossover events]]" of 2014. Not that this isn't a totally Loki thing to happen.

** LesYay: Kate and America is pretty popular, in fact probably the most popular Kat/Anyone pairing, thanks to their few interactions in Vol 2 having America sightly tease Kate, and calling her [[AffectionateNickname Princess regularly]]. The final issue having America come out as gay herself and claim that Kate's 'not that straight', really helps matters.

** Loki. Fact that [[spoiler: members of Ex-Men were really duplicates created by his subconciousnes]] lead some people to belive he is attracted to every single member of the team.

* BaseBreaker: Loki, Billy, and America are the biggest, and Kate to a lesser extent. Loki and Billy are either great characters to read or a CreatorsPet and SpotlightStealingSquad respectfully, America is either a fun addition or a complete JerkAss, and Kate is either the best or worst thing about the Hawkeye series, and her entire character is either a role-model for women or an insulting list of UnfortunateImplications.

* MyRealDaddy: Because of her big promotion to the main Young Avengers team and the increased focus on her and a huge surge in popularity, fans are probably more likely to associate Miss America with Creator/KieronGillen and Jamie [=McKelvie=] than they are Joe Casey or Nick Dragotta.

* FanDumb: The reaction to America [[spoiler: being slightly disappointed by Billy after she used to fan-worship the Demiurge was taken as a huge slight by some of Billy's fans. This, despite the fact that she's ''still friendly'' toward him, to say the least, actively tells him to be who and what he wants to be, and is still a teen herself - occasionally poorly-justified opinions included. Some fans, however, have made her out to be a complete monster because of this, going as far as to claim that America doesn't care that Billy has issues of his own and/or doesn't care that at one point he was ready to commit suicide to stop Mother]].
*** People keep comparing a flirtatious, if somewhat presumptuous, comment she made toward Kate to [[UnfortunateImplications justification for rape]].
** Several people's reaction to many of the team members mentioning that they had same-sex interests/had had same-sex encounters in the past was dismay because it made the comic too gay.

* HateDumb: Gillen/McKelvie's run seems to attract a lot of passionate hatred, with some claims of it being pretentious and attacking every little line of dialogue and scene in the book, to the point it appears some people were reading the series ''just'' so they could insult it better.

** On a similar note, many readers won't forgive Patriot for screwing up Wanda's attempt to save the mutant race, leading to ''Avengers vs X-Men'', a story built atop a ''massive'' ConflictBall.= that both Avengers and X-Men fans tend to take issue with.

** David and Miss America for the new run, due to [[spoiler: David surprise kissing Teddy and Miss America no longer worshiping Billy Kaplan]]
