I think the solution to all the Hargreeves’ problems would be for Klaus to continuously live stream his day. He is out there actively attempting to avoid the plot and then trips over vital information on the way to the bathroom.

#they never believe him so he should just record everything that happens #that and he doesn’t register things like falling off a building and dying to be significant #they should sit down once a day to review the tape #just to make sure that the seventy fourth apocalypse isn’t about to happen at the taco truck he got his lunch from #tua #klaus hargreeves

TUA didn't even make it into the top 100 TV shows for Tumblr's 2023 Year in Review 💀

#I'm genuinely surprised. I didn't know the fandom had died off THAT much or maybe even the impact of the mediocre quality of S3 #I think maybe even the lack of advertising could have played into it? Oh well S3 was intense and I enjoy when the fandom comes alive #here's to S4 and the last time the fandom will come alive 🍻 (idk how many people will stay and create a buzz about vol. 4 of the comic) #tua #the umbrella academy #umbrella academy #tua s3 #tumblr year in review

so killjoys comics right? i’ve had California for about a year. it’s wonderful. amazing images and story telling and everything. i got National Anthem this past year for Christmas. read it yesterday in one go. it’s wonderful. amazing images and story telling and everything.

i’ve seen that majority of people far prefer California, and have to read National Anthem several times to somewhat understand it. idk why, it’s probably autism-related, but i understood it perfectly on my first read. i probably prefer it to California.

i don’t really get how it’s hard to understand? i mean i sort of do with the way it’s layed out and each chapter being sort of different perspectives but also not? but i loved the story and the concept behind it.

i really admired the character backstory and development behind Mike Milligram and the way BL/I wiped them so they had little to no memory of being killjoys.

also trans Kara makes me so unbelievably happy. the fact that they all catch on instantly. they don’t give a shit that she’s trans, they just want her to come back to them. to keep rebelling. that’s what i adore about Gerard’s writing.

i don’t know if it classifies as a ‘coming out scene’ but i found quite a few correlations with that and Viktor’s coming out in season 3 of Netflix’s ‘The Umbrella Academy’.

it made me really interested to see that possibly that scene was based of Gerard’s previous writing in National Anthem. i know Gerard isn’t too involved in the actual producing of the show, but they obviously have some input since they wrote the comics the show, primarily the first season, are based on.

this may be far-fetched but i love the thought that Steve Blackman or anyone else working behind scenes in the show possibly had a look at, or had already read, Gerard’s previous works, and incorporated a part of that into the show.

also, rehashing the Viktor transition thing. as a transgender person myself, i absolutely love and admire the way the transition and coming out was represented in the show. and i know that some people were a little shocked to see how quickly the producers worked it in to the season.

but really?

nothing written by, or based off something written by Gerard Way would ever do a transition scene wrongly.

that is all, thank you.

Ranking The Umbrella Academy Seasons

1. Season 2- The plot was well executed, they nailed the tone, and everything great about this show from the beginning was improved upon. Namely, all of the characters were fantastic with great plotlines (several of whom were improvements from Season 1), the family dynamic was better, the romance was better, and they nailed the quirkiness of the show. Overall it was just peak Umbrella Academy.

2. Season 1- If you ask me, this was a great introduction to the series! I think the characters became a lot more enjoyable after this season (and their family dynamic became a little more both sweet and entertaining). The plot was also a little slow. That being said, there are several elements to Season 1 that I love and that aren’t present in the other two (namely Hazel and Cha-Cha, a few of the plotlines, and a slightly darker feel compared to the following Seasons). In the end it will always hold a special place in my heart.

3. Season 3- Honestly, I really enjoyed this season, it just wasn’t nearly as good as the other two. The plot was overstuffed, the pacing was a bit weird (filler episodes), some of the storylines weren’t as well thought out or fully realized and often quickly abandoned after being ‘solved’ or fixed or whatever. However, the family dynamic and the heart of the show remained from Season Two, ensuring that it was still a whole lot of fun (good not great). I also feel like I should add that a few of the special effects were noticeably subpar, and some of the dialogue was cornier than the first two seasons (although i appreciate the addition of heightened swearing). Overall it just didn’t flow as naturally.

Ultimately I still love this show, and I really hope Season 4 can regain it’s footing following some of the disappointments of Season 3!

I am genuinely so excited for Allison’s arc this season. This is her moment to shine

#am I going to project on her anger a little? maybe #the umbrella academy #tua s3 spoilers #kinda..? #allison hargreeves #after the lack of five in the reviews letting me down I guess Allison will have to fill the gaping hole in my heart <333

I'm worried about the show, it is such a weird decision to drop it on a Wednesday like they never drop their big shows on any other day on Friday like are they trying to bury the show so they can cancel it. We need a s4 especially since S3 apparently ends on a huge cliffhanger I would like to say this is one of their biggest shows and they wouldn't disrespect it so much by just cancelling it but the truth is they don't respect anything and they're gonna do whatever the hell they want.

I mean obviously the show is for everyone of any age, but the majority of their target demographic are teens who will be in the midst of exam season when it drops. And don't get me started on why they are dropping it wedged between Volume 1 and Volume 2 of Stranger Things. I love both shows but Stranger Things definitely has a higher viewer count than Umbrella Academy, and while I do wonder if Netflix is thinking that the Stranger Things fans will watch Umbrella Academy while waiting for Volume 2, part of me is worried that it will just get overshadowed anyway.

It's just such a weird time to drop a new season, especially with the lack of promotion. I mean we have been getting some promotional content for S3, but personally it feels rather rushed, like it's an afterthought. I swear with S1 and S2 they did more to promote the show and the promotional content was spread over a longer period to really get interest piqued.

And Wednesday? Why Wednesday??? The only thing I can think of is that the day of release has significance in the show? Does anyone have any theories because I would love to know!

#I swear I remember reading that the show creators wanted to do six seasons #and I remember reading a recent review that said that S4 had been confirmed #but of course that isn't 100% #The Umbrella Academy #tua #asks

The Umbrella Academy season 3 was really fun! I enjoyed it. Thoughts under the cut. Very slight spoilers, but nothing too big. Kept things vague.

Still had a lot of issues with Victor's character, just different ways. In the first two seasons I really disliked him, and this season I felt he was called out for some of the stuff that happened before, but I'm coming out feeling very 'whatever' towards him now.

As a cis person I can't speak much on the trans storyline and how authentic it feels, but I liked how casual it was. I like how the rest of the family just rolled with it; it was just 'this is how it is, Victor is Victor' and that's that. I'm glad the writers chose to do that rather than hire someone else to play the character, and that Elliot Page chose to stay. I don't know if this was intentional, but the fact that Elliot kept the voice the same rather than deepening it? I found that to be a really cool detail of someone who's clearly in the beginning stages of their transition. I wonder if next season his voice will be deeper?

Diego and Klaus are still my faves, but while Diego actually feels like he's progressing in his character arc, Klaus, at least character wise, is starting to feel stagnant. His powers being explored was fun and interesting, but I hope we can see him actually start to deal with his inner demons in the next season. There's a risk he could potentially become just a characteracture rather than an actual character if they keep just doing what they're doing.

I can't stop imagining the season with Umbrella Ben and Sparrows Ben in the same room and Umbrella Ben just getting annoyed at this dick. 😂

Lila and Diego are the best. I will elaborate no further. Their entire storyline had me screaming into my pillow. I would watch an entire show just about them bickering. Lila remains my favourite character. I just want to hug her, but she'd probably stab me (I'd let her).

Luther, I actually enjoyed his storyline this season. He deserves the whole world. And his scenes with Sloane were very sweet, if not a bit cheesy. But sweet.

Five, don't have a lot to say about him. Other than he needs to get his siblings into an group chat so he can communicate with them. 😭

Allison, I've never liked her more. I've always liked her, but I liked her so much more this season. I know what she did was fucked, but it was also so interesting. Watching her get pushed further and further until she broke, and for good reason too. Her grief and rage over what she's lost. I definitely don't think she was a good person this season (that scene with her and Luther was a very low point, and there's no defending that 😬) but you still understand where she's coming from (mostly, again, that scene with her and Luther).

The Sparrows weren't that interesting. I'll admit I was a little worried with how they were going to handle it, but I think they did the right thing. A lot of shows make a mistake of putting in too many characters because they don't know what to do with the ones they still have, and I'm glad that TUA didn't do that. Fei's powers were so cool, though.

Finally, Reginald Hargreaves is insane. 😭

I can't wait for next season.

THIS REVIEW!

Thought this was a not-so-slick hint that Klaus was finally getting telekinesis and levitation! Until I read it again. He “CONTINUES to druggily float.” As in, whatever “druggily floating” means, Klaus was doing it in previous seasons and continues to do it in the third season. My hype went from 100 to zero so fast I got a concussion.

The Slightly Incoherent Review Of UA Season 3

SPOLIERS FOR THE ENTIRE SEASON AHEAD

·       The fucking dance-off. Before we saw it, I had joked to my sister that they should do a dance battle, and I was in tears the entire time. It was such a good song choice, and the vibes were immaculate, so it was a shame that the entire thing was a fever dream.

·       Unstoppable Force (Umbrella Academy) meets Immovable Wall (Sparrow Academy). I think this explains how most of the Sparrows were taken out – the Umbrellas had been humbled by 5 disappearing and Ben dying, they knew that they couldn’t stay, whilst the Sparrows hadn’t had this, they were arrogant – like the Illuminati in Multiverse of Madness.

·       also, doesn’t help that the Umbrellas are basically feral by this point.

·       HOTEL OBSIDIAN was such a vibe, honestly. It was such a cool hotel. Although, I did think that the patrons that we kept getting close-ups on would be more important. Especially the guy who played Death in SpN – thought his role would be bigger

·       STANLEY!!!!!!!! He was so cute, and such a good foil for Diego. I know he wasn’t actually his son, but they were so cute together. I wish they had been more upset when he fucking died tho?? Like, they just stood there and then left??? TF??

·       HARLAN! TBH, I hadn’t really been expecting his character, which was stupid of me, but I liked what they had done with him and how they developed him, both as a super-powered person and as an autistic person. I’m not autistic myself, so I cant say much, but he was very interesting especially with how his power was utilised in comparison to Viktor’s.

·       On that note, Viktor’s coming out was handled so well. I know that some people might’ve been annoyed about how brushed over it was, but I’m of the opinion that if we normalise coming out in anyway, it doesn’t have to be a big deal.

·       LUTHER: Luther’s character has come such a long way since season 1. I liked him well enough in season 2, even though he wasn’t my favourite, but this season he was; funny and caring and had major proper himbo energy. He just loved his wife and his siblings so much and I honestly love that vibe for him

·       Luther/Sloane – I know that this relationship isn’t for everyone, but honestly, Luther needed to move on from Allison and this time they’re not actually siblings. Not even adopted technically, the issue with Allsion and Luther was the fact that they had grown up together as siblings, so Luther/Sloane was much healthier. They were cute as well, because Sloane really cared about Luther and the moon, and I know it was annoying in season 1 (even though he was partially correct about it having to do with the moon???) but the fact that he was alone up there for four years and none of his siblings cared?? Like, Sloane did??? And I think them getting married really quickly was in character for both of them, change my mind.

·       DIEGO: Diego wasn’t my favourite in season 2, I felt like they’d ruined his character from season 1 (maybe, it was the hair?? and JFK??) but he was so much better this season. He was a better sibling, father, boyfriend etc and he was trying so hard, the entire time and I really thought that they did his character justice this season

·       Diego/Lila – I knew they’d bring this back for this season, but I had been expecting some drama with Patch for some reason?? I wasn’t the biggest fan in season 2 because I thought that they’d enabled each other, but their relationship was much better this season. I think Lila makes Diego soft in comparison??? I don’t know how to explain it?? But yeah. If there’s a season 4, hope they make good parents, would probably let their kid drink a glass of wine sometimes or something.

·       Allison: Oh, Allison. Look I get it, you lost your child and then your husband, but honestly, it wasn’t surprising that Claire wasn’t there. But her toxic arc was kinda horrifying to witness?? Like I wanted to slap her at some points. Was she valid in the way she was feeling? Mostly. Did that give her the right to do most of the things she did? No. she sexually assaulted Luther (unacceptable, no matter what) and murdered Harlan (the only thing about this was the fact that I think Harlan let her do it willingly). But Harlan was practically Viktor’s child, he’d been living with him, helping Sissy raise him and it had only been a few days for him, so it was understandable why Viktor was unwilling to murder Harlan, so that sat uncomfortably with me. The fact that Allison didn’t think she’d done anything wrong was even more terrifying??? Like, Harlan’s death hadn’t really united the families, the wedding did, and she was awful to Viktor. TELLING YOUR BROTHER THAT YOU SHOULD’VE LEFT HIM IN THE BASEMENT IS TERRIBLE. It was a good thing that Viktor was emotionally stable this season, honestly.

·       Also, how does the Claire/Ray thing work? Did Alison still sleep with Patrick in this timeline? How is Ray alive? Is it because it was her ‘wish’ and the timeline just rewrote itself around them?

·       KLAUS: Babe, I miss season 1 Klaus, he was such a vibe. But he’s matured somehow, and I like him all the same (although season 2 was iffy, no matter how funny the cult was). I’m glad that they put Klaus and 5 together, because their dynamic is hilarious. And I love the power exploration this season, but I wish they did more with ghosts because that was kind of confusing??? I know they did it so that he could summon Luther, but I felt like their was a better way to utilise that??? Also, does his power work with alcohol now? Or was it just drugs that stopped them??

·       Klaus and Reginald: This was a rollercoaster that broke me in the end. I’m not a fan of characters forgiving abusive parental figures without a really good reason, but it was in character for Klaus (and the rest of the Umbrellas), so I understood. But the fact that Reginald killed him over and over and Klaus accepted it made me sad, even if it was necessary but the ULTIMATE BETRAYAL was the act at the end when he left Klaus to the apocalypse. That made me so upset and I wish Reggie died and I hope Klaus fucking wrecks him next season

·       FIVE: love this little guy. Very feral, although he did lose a few braincells, as in it took him way too long to realise something was wrong but I think we can cut him some slack, he just survived three apocalypses in a month. He deserves a break. He was the least changed character, so I don’t actually have much to say

·       BEN: Benny, Bennerino, oh boy. I love this dickhead so much. He’s basically Diego if Diego didn’t have Grace. Inferiority complex a mile wide, coupled with the fact that some douchebags from another timeline bonded with his father more than he did and kept comparing his to a different Ben, I get why he was mad. I did want him to take a chill-pill tho, lmao

·       VIKTOR: Viktor was so self-assured this season, I love it. He had some of the best character development and it really showed. Did he technically start three apocalypses? Yes. Do we blame him for it? No. Emotional trauma for the win, baby.

·       The Sparrows: Cool concept, subpar execution. I didn’t even no what Marcus’s power was, was it super-strength????? They were so hyped up that they definitely fell flat and only served as plot devices (even Sloane) other than Ben and it makes me sad, because they were so cool. They were what Reginald both wanted and feared. Powerful children? Check. Don’t respect or fear him anymore? Double check. That was a power move though, honestly.

·       THE PLOT: Uh, better than season 2 in my opinion. Dallas was boring for me, but this was an interesting apocalypse – because I’m 98% sure that it could’ve been solved with communication from all parties, but it wouldn’t be the Umbrella Academy otherwise. Oblivion definitely confused me, and I think it came in too fast once we got there??? You get me??? Like they fixed it pretty quickly once it happened and I thought that part was the least interesting plot point. IDK

·       Also Pogo as a tattoo artist was hilarious.

Sorry that this was long, what do you think about any of these opinions??

You know what I love about The Umbrella Academy ?

The fact i can just sit there and watch it, I'm vibing with them (I don't feel the need to watch tiktok, or read something )

I'm just vibing and they're doing crazy shit, and I don't care, I don't theorize, I don't want to understand. Whose Christopher ? Magic cube. How the timelines work ? They don't.

Simple as that

It's entertaining enough, without pushing me to hyperfixate on it
