And worst of all every single parent has some sort of sympathy card to play with all of them basically being forced into it. They could have at least had a couple of them be unrepentant monsters.
Biggest peeve though for me is that the main bad guy is the source of any of the parents' "special abilities". It's especially dumb how they decided to make the Staff of One technology based instead of magic. And the way they handwave it is basically nanomachines, son.
