#because the sparrows were trained as a unit.. Reggie NEEDED them to be a cohesive team if they were gonna make it in oblivion

Anyway idk if anyone else has said it but the reason the Umbrellas had such a different outcome compared to the Sparrows is because Reggie gave up on them the minute he realised he couldn’t control Viktor. He needed seven to complete his plan. The Umbrella Academy was already a failure before it had even really begun.

#I also think this is why they’re so much less of a team and so much more of a family #because the sparrows were trained as a unit.. Reggie NEEDED them to be a cohesive team if they were gonna make it in oblivion #which meant they already had that sense of comeradery among one another but in a much less personal sense #whereas for the umbrellas it was never really about being a team.. that ship had already sailed #it became about pushing them individually to their limits #and their bond was a solidarity through shared trauma.. they were there for each other emotionally rather than physically #anyways I’m going to bed night guys #the umbrella academy #tua3 #tua3 spoilers
