The one you feed.

The New Mutants - 2/5

It's bad, but I also don't want to discount the good things in it. It's got the aesthetics of a CW show, and that's meant to be an insult as well as a compliment. The characters, barring the main, are characters! A lot comes across in their one note. Sam Guthrie is Southern troubled, Rahne Sinclaire is Catholic troubled, Roberto daCosta is rich boy troubled, and Anna Taylor-Joy's Illyana Rasputin is instantly crush-able. I like them. There's a season-long plot in here; too bad it was thrown away in a movie.
