Fuck you Umbrella Academy. Wasted 10 hours of my fucking time to watch the character bitch at each other all season with no explanation of anything & all for a fucking setup for the next season. Complete waste of time.
This season was absolutely horrible. I really enjoyed the previous seasons, but it's quite apparent that the writers have been changed, or else this mess of a season wouldn't have been made.
This episode has left me with more questions than answers:sob:
a disappointing end for a lackluster season, I had a lot of fun with the first two seasons but this was TUA at its worst.
WTF was this finale!? literally answered nothing and provided more questions
overall season was fun but this finale is just disappointing
they kept building up the mystery then cleared nothing by the end
also many things don't make any sense and not consistent
the writers be like: trust me bro
I can't fully put into words how much I love this show. This season was stellar. Start to finish. You can fight me on this but I won't budge.
I binged the season so I couldn't really put a review up per episode - in other words, I was lazy and needed to continue watching - so let's dive into the season here.
First off; the transition from Vanya to Viktor was so well written, so beautifully executed it left me bawling multiple times. It felt incredibly natural and fitting in the story. We got to know Vanya as a woman who never belonged or fitted in until she met Sissy and it all came together. I like how the other characters reacted to it. Not over the top. Very in line with the characters and how they all previously interacted with him.
2; The relationship between Diego and Lila was such a highlight this season. I remember last season I had mixed feelings about her but this season I fell in love with her and the relationship she has with Diego.
3; The Sparrows are incredible and I truly hope we get them back next season. I need to know what Christopher is and how Alfonso became so... well... ugly. I want to know more about Fei and if she was born without eyes or lost them somewhere and how.
4; How did Luther go from 'meh' to 'please no don't kill Luther!'. Sloane is good for him. Those two are adorable.
5; Klaus. That's all. Klaus. He is magic.
6; [spoiler] Will we get 2 Ben's next season? Diving into the post credit scene here but we saw Sparrow Ben come back with the Umbrella's through the Hotel Obsidiaan/Oblivion elevator but we definitely saw a different Ben - our Ben I guess - on the train.
7; Allison does not deserve her happy ending. Again, fight me on this but she was so crap this season. She assaulted Luther, killed Harlan - who was just precious in my opinion - and the way she put the blame on Viktor was unfair. Also how is Ray there?
This season was fun, mysterious and emotional. It's vibing on a whole other level and I'm all for it. The weirdness, the way it makes me feel like it's okay to be different... it's very personal for me. Here's hoping to season 4.
This was a wild, whacky but very enjoyable ride from beginning to end.
:thinking:
So the most important thing in the universe was “mom”. Who probably also is an alien/robot/something.
And that Ben… somehow I get the feeling that was yet a different Ben. Like we actually have two Bens in this timeline/universe, and that’s what next season will pivot on. Orrr we get another academy, since no one has any powers.
Why is everybody's hair shorter? That's bad. Hotels look good though. Guardian cockroaches? The best!
I also liked Klauss's powers escalation. I imagined him a necromancer king, leading armies of undead against the cockroaches but... he barely gets in there. So much like him. Trusting and always with a smile! The best character and a great actor portraying him.
White dressed, dancing Sloane is a great addition to the show!
Five and Ex vanya have been a little sidelined power-wise but who can relate with omnipotent creatures?
I really like that every existential conundrum in this show is anchored to love and family. Realities are made and destroyed so one can be with his wife. A bit banal, but the academy is about a family and that's what we came from episode 1 to watch. The most dysfunctional family somehow making it.
I truly don’t know how to feel about this season. It had some high highs n some very low lows. I hope this means that Allison won’t come back. They ruined her character for me.
Ok, so it basically continued as I expected. No one really died and nothing is set into stone. I obviously couldn't predict the story at all but I expected that everyone would be still there in some form and that the "end" of their world was just the begining of something new (and bigger!).
That nested TV documentary show about reality was kinda cool. And definitely true. I don't see how we'd ever be able to understand our reality completely. Sure, we can observe it and create models to even predict it but just because they're usually right doesn't mean they have to be. There could be no sunrise tomorrow, there could be two suns tomorrow, etc. It wouldn't make sense to us because it's impossible according to our physical models but that doesn't mean it cannot happen. It might be possible for someone to arbitrarily alter out reality in any moment. And if someone created us it would even apply to them. You simply cannot know for sure how you came to be.
"We'll never know the shape of reality."
So I really agree with Luther: "Wow, makes you feel tiny huh."
I don't like to think about it too much as it kinda makes everything meaningless. We don't even know if free will exists, etc. At least we can still have fun regardless :) And at least I also think that we could ever know for sure if free will doesn't exist so it will remain a mystery forever.
Anyway, I often wish the world would still be a bit simpler :D E.g., Klaus has it so chill - he's simply wondering "Why would you put pinaple on a pizza?" xD
Luther and Klaus were quite nice together :)
Five is still smart and doesn't trust Reginald and Allison.
Klaus is back :D
So Luther was at the moon to protect Reginald's wife?
Nice for the team that they're back together - although not all of them yet.
However, it looks like they're in for quite a surprise! xD
Scan the QR code in the final scene on the subway for a surprise :smirk:
I might had missed something, but is that it, he just wanted to be with his dead wife.
underwhelming season, felt like it was slow and was dragged out tho it makes me concerned about the stories for next seasons like the other kids hargreeves didn't adopt and their own parents, hoping it would be better than this season and have more than 10 episodes
The worst episode of the worst season of anything ever.
A weird maguffin fix-it ending.
I dunno what it is but the Luthor and Sloane thing just gives me the ick. They literally just met and she's the love of his life. Came off so odd the way he was all 'my wife my wife blah'. He's literally never had a relationship before and she's the first woman he's slept with. It's like super charged teen feelings. Nothing romantic or realistic about it.
Glad they made his body normal again anyway coz that suit padding was especially awful this season.
Also what was the significance of the after credits scene with Ben? He was in his native country I assume but am I missing something else about the scene? Why show him?
Looks like there will be the next season.
I really don’t like this season and where the show is headed, although I really liked the seasons before, but it is like that sometimes I guess
There's way to many movie, tv shows, music, drinks, eat references to mention them all. Even William Shatner comes up in one scene.
Removing the dances and karaoke weirdness. This is now my favourite season. The acting is really good, the story and other of event is smooth and pleasant. The sets, costumes and cgi of this season are very good.

So much going on, where to in the next season? :thinking:

My mind exploded, I was having my doubts, but they managed to make a good season.
