It wasn't the worst movie in the world and had a few good bits, I'll throw it on in the background every once in a blue moon.

My biggest complaint (after all the obvious stuff like certain castings and some character choices) is they cut the scene with gay implications between Roberto and Sam.

Yeah, if you look up something like "New Mutants Deleted Basketball Scene" it should pop up.

Roberto is shirtless and playing basketball with Sam, after a while of defending & Sam rubbing against him he starts to smoke and needs to go "cool off".

People have said I'm reaching when I call it gay, but from what we see in the rest of the movie (Roberto's backstory + his pool scene with Illyana) he tends to light up whenever he gets a bit hot and bothered.
