Seriously, how many of the mutants powers ever get explored for non-combat reasons? If this was just about adults, it’d be one thing, but this guy is in charge of children who are being kept away from their parents.

We do see glimpses here and there, but most of it takes background to the fighting, or is shortly ended because the school blew up, the rest of humanity ordered a genocide on all Mutants, and got caught in the crossfire, etc.

I feel like that X-Men could benefit from taking a leaf off of Transformers, and having a series set up after peace was made, when everyone's trying to readjust to peacetime, and deal with all of that.

But nope, in Storm’s eyes, Rogue is perfect just the way she is. As a living weapon.

In fairness, Storm is shown to be wrong in saying that there's nothing wrong with Rogue in the rest of the movie, and that she doesn't need to be cured.

The tone of the movies always felt off. Someone, anyone should have called out Storm and sided with Rogue's choice. Even if they disapprove of what Storm is saying, they just silently sat there.
