- Nothing but love for Elliot Page being his authentic self! This was obviously released well before that was announced.
Still some strong X-MEN parallels here...

"She's basically a walking 'no, u'" is the best explanation for Lila's powers in the most concise way it could be told.
A human Uno Reverse Card is what she's being called and I think that's much better
I was thinking the exact same thing! Ha ha 😂😂😂😂😂
Athena kaz to you
Kinda like taskmaster but not really
@@roydekock656 bruhh would love to see them fight lol
I'm just saying Klaus is the child of a miraculous birth, can speak to the dead, and has actually seen the coming apocalypse. How is he not an actual Prophet?
He also saw God, so yeah he probably is a prophet tbh
I...
You're actually right.
HUH.
@@georgecatton when did he see GOD?
@Addison Prantner oh yeah i remember now
He is 100% qualified to be a Prophet
Hargreeves shutting Diego down and making him stutter again had me in tears.
The actor did an amazing job in that scene
Same! The actor portrayed how the way toxic parents raise you will affect a person for the rest of their life. Ugh, it was just so good lol
that scene hurt so much to watch
That hit pretty real with my Boi
That was especially sad because at that point Diego was trying to emphasize how much he loved being on a team with all of them. "Team Zero" after years of being a lone ranger, he was finally embracing his siblings. In the elevator afterwards he sarcastically thanks them for having his back. :/ I understand how siblings may blame each other for the parent's sins in abuse situations and that was a very clear example. At the same time I wish they all could learn how to stand against their father as siblings and individuals. I'm so excited for season 3 because that will clearly be a main conflict
I get annoyed when klaus doesn’t tell everyone that Ben is there, he’s gonna regret it season 3 probably
For real! That made me so angry for Ben. Especially when Ben was trying to tell them all he missed them and klaus was just being a selfish asshole. It actually broke my heart for Be and made me kinda hate Klaus
I didn’t like the show making their relationship this season, so antagonistic. I got used to Ben being the one who understands klaus.
I know, me too! While it's perfectly in character for Klaus to deny Ben's existence to his siblings just to screw with him, it was only funny the first time, and got old quickly.🙄
Plus, in the bar scene, Klaus could conjure up Ben easily, but this ability was ignored for the rest of the season.
Yeah, I just didn't understand why he kept it from the others when Ben clearly wanted to be seen.
Klaus thought he was to blame for Ben being stuck on earth as a ghost, maybe he didn't want the others to find out given that they already don't respect him very much.
Or he just wanted to keep Ben for himself
@@willow612I think the fact that for several years Ben had to watch Klaus go on living and wasting his life when he could only watch made him resentful; also Klaus repeatedly ignores Ben's advices when they're obviously wise
Ellen Page as a cottage core lesbian is everything and if that makes me simp her I'm okay with that.
Also I still can't get over Öga Foröga
poor Olga.
Ditto, I wouldn't mind seeing Olga's point of view of Diego's threatening phone call! 📞🤣
@@AmandaTheJedi Plot twist! watch next season when Vanya goes to milftown with Olga!
Bruh, what if the phonecall with Olga played a big part in shaping the Sparrow Academy timeline
It was so effective how they shot that death scene and showed that written on the ground, I knew IMMEDIATELY what it said via context clues alone. Great writing.
The best scene was of Allison, Klaus and Vanya bonding and dancing in the salon. Also, they FINALLY nipped the weird Luther/Allison romance in the bud by pointing out that it was weird that they had to say that it "technically" wasn't incest! 😂
As if people don't know what it actually is.
Blood relations, bad.
Disgust, good.
I hope that in the third season it is completely gone because it is so awkward.... Ugh hate it
I thought the canon incest in the comics was vanya and diego, not Allison and Luther?
THATS MY FAVORITE SCENE
Vanya and Cissy + Allison and Ray saying goodbye is the best part of the show, but it was an amazing scene.
Still can’t get over that line that Diego said:”I made that machine my bitch”that was iconic
Phoebe Bawuah that one comes right after “And what I am is sexy trash”
What about the handlers “your vagina needs glasses he is not worth it”
Luther and Diego sharing a single brain cell this season was one of my favorite things about this season
Poor Luther must've lost half his brainpower during the teleport at the beginning of S2. But he pumped all of it into his interactions with Allison, which I really appreciate. He was so understanding and accepting.
@@RPG_Angie ikr!! I was so glad and proud of him u thought he was gonna be annoying about it but he was so understanding and happy for both of them he looked like a sad lil pup
Season 2 is way better than season 1, seeing the family bonding and Vanya being happy and connecting with her siblings made me very happy
Depressed breakfast I did enjoy the family bonding.
The first thing I said to my friends who hadn't started the season yet was "Hey look, Vanya is actually a nice addition to the family dynamic"
Shalala. cls well they tends to happen when you literally forget your trauma and how kinda dickish your family is
Me too, even though I'm not the biggest advocate of amnesia plots, I found it a sweet touch that Vanya was able to reunite with her family without the pent up frustrations and resentment of the previous season holding her back. 💕
I think it could be worth looking at season one and two as just one season. Then you have the conflict and resolution all in one instead of it feeling more spaced out.
When are people going to stop torturing the girl that can blow up the moon? It NEVER ends well.
This girl used a super power to kill a couple highway patrol men... lets give her LSD!
Well considering their choices of torture targets five can litterally nightcrawler away at will klaus can channel the dead so basically a ghost zombie apocolypse yea they got their work cut out
I personally volunteer as Vanya's love interest in season 3. I'll take the bullet. No need for anyone else to audition.
Oh no, I couldn't let you do that, I have it covered
Vanya: the new Bachelorette
Meghan Dann the bachelorette but it’s gay
Sign me up! Legit love Ellen Page ❤ she's the best and most adorable actress ever! 😍👌
Also me, I will join Vanya’s new apparent gay harem that’s happening here
a little detail i love is that in Dave's last scene, the guy that hurries him to get on the bus calls him "marine", meaning that even though he ended up enlisting earlier, he enlisted in the marine instead of the army.
Oh shit!!! I didn’t notice that. So Klaus did get through to him 😭
Oh shittttt. I hope Dave survives :'(
I didn't notice that omgg, can't wait for the next season!!!
Wait what's the difference?
@@emmacurzon4672 in the first season Dave enrolls in the army. That's where he time travels to and meets him. Also where he dies.
"Amanda simps over ellen page!" that is...the most relatable thing i've ever heard
English isn't my first language, what does simps mean?
@@Muuuora basically it means someone thats whipped for someone or admires someone deeply in a romantic way to the extent where they would do anything for them
I don’t believe in simping for real people, there’s one person I’ll simp for and that’s Queen Shego
@@Muuuora "simp" is a term used usually when someone will do way too much for the person they like
Simp: “Sucker Idolizing Mediocre P….”
But I don’t think simp means much anymore, the meaning has been subverted so much. At this point, it’s essentially “showing attraction to someone with no real hope of getting with them”, and even further watered down than that because it’s used as much figuratively as literally even with that definition. Which is all a good thing, IMO. The initial meaning was slightly malicious, now it’s pure meme
Watching Five butcher the council was one of the most satisfying things i've ever seen
I agree. I loved that scene! As the best!
I loved that scene (and the Donut Diner scene too) but can someone explain WHY he destroyed that vending machine? It seemed like such a random thing to do seconds before killing the board.
@@sakulaeyr9819 He was hungry, didn't the machine try to cheat him out of his food?
@Jam Drew he didnt even take the fudge nutter adter kicking the glass. Ita just him snapped
@@sakulaeyr9819 personally, I love how much potential that whole scene has for character analysation 😂
Many possible theories oof I'm still waiting for them to roll in
When I first saw that scene I thought it was probably a cool lead up to the whole massacre because he can't just jump in and kill them and out :))) because obviously netflix knew everything we wanted (EXCEPT THAT HUG FIVE STILL HASNT GOT) and they knew we were all looking for the gazelle moment.
But the thing was, they didn't establish much of that feral part of Five in season 1. So, yea, I think it made it feels more in character and not like a random spurt of homicide in his teenage body.
Obviously, the character analysation's not that, but I'm not very smart so Imma just wait for someone to do it and then gush over it :))
I thought the farmers husband was a well done character. He was a good man for the times, but an antagonist to Vanya. His actions were measured and restrained, which isn't the norm for characters like him. He didn't hit his wife or his son, and he pretty much ASKED Vanya to leave (A few homophobic threats sprinkled in). I was genuinely surprised.
I’m glad someone else thought this
Same. Like... he really did "do you right" for his wife and son like he explains, he just wasn't the right guy for them.
I'm pretty sure the only reason why he got so upset at finding his wife is gay was because he was still in love with her but if it was a friend he might have accepted it
It was really well done
mlp secrets yep, also he slough the homophobic insults at vanya because back then the general public thought Homophobia to be a disease. He figured this to be true because all of a sudden his wife is Gay.
I, a poor bisexual, felt very attacked by this season
Oh girl same!
Same here.
Its ok it gets better watch ull see
Wait why
Lol saaame
the one thing i really loved this season was how they developed Allison's character... wasn't the biggest fan of her in season 1 but they made her sooo likeable here i loved her
I still liked her a lot in S1 but she REALLY flourishes here
Totally, I adored Allison in Season 1, but her character development this season REALLY shone through, since she learned to legitimately work for what she had, and found a loving husband in Ray, whom she didn't have to rumour into loving her.💖💘👫
I think id agree. She was kinda boring in season 1
I know this is old but I just wanted to say I downright hate season 1 Allison. Every time I'm watching season 1 and she shows up I'm like: "Not her again!"
I'm watching season 2 for the second time now and someohow every time I see her I'm like: "Yes! It's Allison!!"
Like I don't know what happened but I actually like her in season 2...
I think it also did a really good job in showing her lack of self control when it comes to her power. Because like in season 1 I was constantly frustrated with her for not using them but like after the coffee pot fiasco (and like he deserved it but still ray knew it would just hurt the movement) I understood that like she literally has no self control when it comes to using her powers for selfish wants
I'm still trying to figure out who has the bigger daddy issues: Luther or Diego?
Both
Diego's daddy issues make him hate Hargreeves, Luther's daddy issues make him love him, it gives both of them a hero complex that collapses on Luther in Season 2 and amplifies in Diego
Amanda the Jedi When you show them why you’re the boss
Luther has bigger daddy issues but Diego also has mommy issues and hero complex
Vanya, her daddy issues literally caused her to blow up the moon-
Poor Olga probably still thinks she's gonna die..
I didn’t even catch the connection between Harlan’s toy and the new name for the academy. Im assuming that Harlan will have something to do with building the new academy with Hargreeves
I just posted that! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that.
Maybe...... Harlan is one of the kids? No wait... Harlan (lets assume) is 13 at 1965 so 2019 makes .... Um him 54 approx. Ok, maybe he's assistant to Reggie Hargreaves ?
Sasuke Uchiha yeah, something like that
@@SasukeUchiha723 everything I've seen/read has him labeled as 8yo in 1963. So...he'd be 64yo in 2019?
Sasuke Uchiha Oh fuck, that’s right, they accidentally gave him magic powers decades before the actual births happen. That’s probably the catalyst, somehow, for the major timeline change
I cried at Ben's sacrifice. Like, ugly cried
Honestly, same. 😭
Me too 😭😭
sameee 😭😭
didnt we all
Yeah same but I'm going to use this comment to share a theory. What if it wasn’t Vanya that made him die/disappear but a lack of the world ending (and thus Harlan not dying: think to his correlation of a sparrow toy and the Sparrow academy) that made this version of Ben disappear because we now see him with the Sparrow Academy meaning he never had the chance to die and be with Klaus because he wasn't with the Umbrella Academy. So maybe he didn't die because of Vanya but was being corrected into the right timeline.
If Vanya doesn't take a trip back to Milf Town next season I'm going to be really upset.
My mom actually asked if they were mother and daughter when they were in bed together
@@Karin-fj3eu Has your mother been watching them dirty *_adult_* movies again?
Karin Stenelo
There’s only 8 years difference between the two actresses.
@@Karin-fj3eu what are you doing step mom? :D
Steve Blackman said in the interview that Sissy would not come back in season 3
How could you miss the fact that the Sparrow academy is different because when Reggie met them he thought they were to big of a mess so he just got another set of kids
Holy crap what if Lila's there
But The Handler already took her? And the Commission are outside of normal time
@@DeathnoteBB yeah but the Umbrella academy changed the timeline. Reggie could adopt Lila as a baby given that this Lila was taken as a toddler by the Handler but then again her parents would have to give her up to Reggie which they didn't do the first time around. They kept Lila and raised her with love so I think it's more likely that Lila will come back as a Wild card. Really excited to see who are the Sparrow academy aside from Ben and how different they are.
I also think that the loss of Grace contributes to the Sparrow Academy and the way that Reggie snapped. Originally, she didn't know about the Kennedy shit and she didn't leave him, I believe she died when she was with him and he allowed her to live on through basing a robot off of her. Diego warned her about Reggie and made her leave him, which was probably his breaking point.
I thought it was possible he still has the same kids but they were born later so they are younger and since they didn't have pogo and their mom they are perfect soldiers.
I did wonder why he wouldn't adopt Five though. I mean, no hate towards the others, but when Five and Reggie talked in private after the supper they seemed to be pretty chill. But eh, maybe i just missed sth and am kinda stupid rn lol
I completely read Klaus as having initially become that lady's boy toy.
A Kouts I mean that is a possibility....
Right? I am surprised no one discussed this.
@@Vestajik eh, maybe it says more about my own depravity :p
That was my first thought too🤣
im more interested in the fact they made the handler keep giving off pedoish comments towards a young number 5.
Lila is literally a walking uno reverse card and I love it
Can't wait to see what they mess up next!
Much love to Elliot Page for being his authentic self
Yep, I'm hoping that Season 3 will introduce an epic showdown between the Umbrellas and the Sparrows. ☔😍
Well the comics have a weird hellscape prison in hotel Oblivion so they'll probably mess up there.
Same! They will be goin down with Sparrow
Probably the timeline again lmao
Is there really anything to fuck up at this point?
They've destroyed the world three times and created multiple alternate timelines (even though it's mainly 5's fault).
“the butterfly affect” me: immediately thinks of chris from until dawn
Why Chris specifically?
No Sanctuary whenever i think of butterfly effect i think of the beginning of the game when he’s explaining it on the ski lift and goes “boom. butterfly effect”
@@reese5293 ah. Thanks.
I miss him,, I want to play a sequel to until dawn except it's just Josh and Chris hanging out for 3 hours
Speaking of Until Dawn, when I watched the series the second time I watched it in German (cuz i live in Germany duh-) and Luther's voice actor was the same as Josh's voice actor in Until Dawn. It made me go full 👁👄👁 when "the butterfly effect" was said that one time.
I really liked the season, but I most definitely didn't like how the show kinda brushed the whole "Vanya's so hurt and angry she ended the world" bit aside. I really wanted to see the academy genuinely deal with that and work trough it.
Yes ! I rewatched season 1 before going into season 2 and that made the whole season feel so disconnected (even tho i loved it).
I agree, I know that they had their own issues to muddle through and deal with, but it's almost as though it was an afterthought, of sorts. Ultimately, Vanya has to deal with the SECOND apocalypse that she almost caused, and couldn't really acknowledge the consequences of the first. 😞
Yeah same, especially since that was the set-up at the end of Season 1... I’m glad I’m not the only one who felt the Season 2 felt weirdly disconnected from the first season
@Jam Drew No, I completely disagree. She only destroyed the world because almost everyone around her was toxic and abusive, and those that weren't didn't have the balls to stand up to the abusers and help her. Pogo had it coming and Luther wasn't far off.
It's not like she was rational and thought "ah yes, I WANT to destroy the world and kil everyone", she just wanted to spite her family, and she didn't know the consequences of doing that. I don't think she'd want to kill random people deliberately, even in the state she was in.
Also, I hate how the show gave half the academy the excuse of still being assholes to her, only for them to "redeem" themselves in the end.
@@trinaq What's more, the others didn't have to acknowledge their actions, which near-directly caused the apocalypse.
Probably they never got adopted together after dear old dad met them in the 60s and he said "screw them"
Although he adopts them as newborns so there's no way he could know which newborn babies were the ones that would grow into the messed up adults he met.
@@thisismycupoftea3974
The thing is, there might have been some way but picking 7 out of 43 (?) babies has a fairly high chance of not getting them in an alternative reality
@@thisismycupoftea3974 that’s what I was thinking but maybe he can see their powers will be and from there he weeds them out
This season made me so excited as a history buff, the way they wove in actual history with the story is fantastic, especially (spoilers?)
with the use of the Umbrella Man, who was a real person on the grassy knoll and fits so well into the umbrella motif that I literally screamed when I saw him
Wait who's the umbrella man? Is he a character in the comic or is he a real historical figure?
@@kittykittybangbang9367
They said he’s a real person and he fit well with the “umbrella motif”, so I figure he was actually a real person. Honestly I have no idea who he is but that seemed to fit the storyline of the show so I’m actually interested in who he is now
@@kittykittybangbang9367 In the Zapruter film, there's a man with an umbrella standing outside next to the road. I'd recommend watching the Buzzfeed Unsolved episode on JFK, they go into it better, but he is real.
Poor man when out with an umbrella one day and now everyone thinks he is some sort of diabolical mastermind.
Harlan’s toy is a *sparrow* and has powers “before” everyone else (cuz time travel) Reggie is on his quest to get powered kids and names it the *sparrow* academy coincidence? I think not
You're a Damn genius wholey shit.
Also if you go back and watch the scene where Pogo is getting blasted off into space, you can see a sparrow logo on Pogo's uniform.
also another thing i appreciated was the lgbtq+ representation and how normal it is when brought up it’s not made into a huge deal when Vanya talks about her sudden love for a girl and the same for Klaus it’s just “oh they love someone of the same gender ok cool “ their family supports them it isn’t a huge deal that they like the sane gender cuz that’s their sibling as someone who is lesbian in a conservative state it was nice seeing it so normalized in shows with gay characters it’s usually a huge deal and a huge part of their identity which it is but it’s nice to see it be a minor point in a larger plot i hope that makes sense lol
Also Klaus is canonically pan
DeathnoteBB yeah that’s why i said lgbt+ instead of gay or lesbian cuz their very fluid with their sexuality
Yeah it's almost like people dont give a shit about who you love or not when it's written nicely into the character and not force fed to pass propaganda. Brooklyn 99 is another series that did it very nicely(for its first 5 seasons at least)
i can’t think of a good username He’s not though, he’s pan.
Enel97 Yeah god forbid a character openly say they’re bi /sarcasm
i like how they gave luther an actual character, other than 'hE seNt Me To tHe mOon'. He reconciled with vanya, killed of the allison romance, and dialed down the contollignness. THey still retained his core personality traits, but making them more desirable
Yeah and I loved when Vanya used her powers on the fruit he was the only one to say how impressive it was lol.
I would argue they actually stole his character from him, but his character sucked so I'm glad. He was basically a walking comic relief doofus, which actually suits him much better. His daddy issues were boring and lame
@@skeetsmcgrew3282 Agreed
I mean being fair Luther in s1 might have had his faults but it’s likely due to needing to build up and distinguish the trauma each experience and how each was different. S1 Luther has his faults, it can’t be denied but it’s important to recall Luther never escaped the abuse in the same way others did. Life saving of not Reggie destroyed Luther’s body in a way that clearly caused extreme dysmorphia that truly hurts him, he was given expectations and trust in his father that were never acknowledge even to the family I think with the position of number 1, and when Reggie saw his as too much to handle literally sent him away for 4 years of complete isolation with not even a check up. Luther put so much faith that one day something would change with his father, that everything he sacrificed and suffered would be enough but it never was and that’s where season 2 picks up. How broken Luther is now learning that everything was him being used, so while he had his faults in s1 he never could have grown I think until he reached that peak to fall rock bottom even beginning to take the responsibly for being seen as number 1 and failing his siblings while still keeping those keep traits.
We need 2 mini series to come out about this
1 Klaus and Dave in Vietnam
2 The Swedes' origin story
Yes
Also, Allison and Ray. Their relationship was amazing.
Yes please! The audience kind of knew nothing about the Swedes (hell, the subtitles didn't even use their names as far as I'm aware), so it would be really interesting to learn more about them especially since I, personally, really loved the scenes they were in
I still can’t imagine what this must have been like for Harlan. The powers must have been so overwhelming for any young person, but especially for someone (likely) on the spectrum.
Did anyone else feel as though Klaus and Ben were done dirty this season? They seemed to be extra catty towards each other, with Klaus not letting Ben speak to his siblings, and Ben forcibly possessing Klaus.
Plus, Klaus never got to deal with Ben's second death, as he was never really gone to him, with is a shame. 💔
I didn’t like how Klaus ignored Ben’s request to communicate with his family and denied he was there. They showed Klaus kinda processing the emptiness for a few minutes of screen time before he got in the car with Vanya. Then it all went so fast. I think they will all be dealing with their losses in season 3.
I think the writers were going for sibling banter between ben and klaus, but it honestly just felt like they hated each other to me
@@anna-cx7xs I did not see it like that. More like they were annoyed with each other. Ben was annoyed with Klaus' life choices and wanted things of his own but could only experience things because of Klaus and Klaus was was annoyed with Ben because he was trying to force him to do things he did not want to and was being very critical with him and biting with his words. I think Klaus ignored Ben's requests because he was annoyed with him initially but he might have taken for granted that Ben was always with him so it didn't matter for now. Like, he was punishing Ben temporarily by denying him that but he did not expect that there would be no other time for Ben to communicate with them. Like, he was so used to having Ben with him that he was probably like "Eat that, Ben" but probably thought he would allow him later.
@@Zophiela I agree that s3 will probably deal with all of this emotional fallout (I hope) I love the idea of Sparrow vs Umbrella, whether it's actual fighting or learning to deal with their new 'present'
@@fictionlover2064 I think that's totally true. In the first season it's just Klaus and Ben, and then Klaus and Ben back in time, and THEN Klaus and Ben back in 2019. In season two they spent a few years in the past without running into any of the siblings, and they may have given up seeing them again. To the two of them, that week in 2019 when they tried to stop the apocalypse was such a short time. I think Klaus really did take his company for granted and maybe the both of them were frustrated living in the past together yet again with no idea how to get back home. It's kind of understandable how tense they feel. Really sad they didn't have a proper goodbye.
I feel like they forgoed some of Klaus’ development in favour of meme-ifying him more. Yeah he was the breakout hit from the last season, but making him constantly spew sass and gifable one liners (read dramatic moment when both of his siblings may have died in the penultimate episode) detracted from the rounded character they set out at the beginning
I completely concur with you on this count! 😍 They were trying to make Klaus' story funny, that they almost pushed him to the wayside, and made him the comic relief again. The whole "forced possession" storyline with Ben felt uncomfortable, and the siblings apparently watch Klaus have a seizure at dinner, and dismiss it as "Klaus just being Klaus".
Plus, Klaus has to cope with losing both Dave and Ben, with him apparently not receiving closure with Ben before his second death. 😢💔
I personally think that his reactions and actions were realistic to his character for arriving in the 1960s alone and with no support (except Ben, of course). But I agree with you about the one-liners!
Trina Q no one ever takes him seriously😤
@@trinaq I think it's easy to forget that they've dealt with junkie Klaus for years. They've gotten used to dismissing Klaus because he's been a mess for so long.
I think he's a good written character. Someone absolutely crushed by everything would 200% end up meming around to avoid ~~emotions~~
Sparrow Academy? Like the sparrow toy Harlan was playing with?
That’s what I was thinking 😁
great minds think alike
Laura Martin-Falla Damn.
My mind is blown 😱
@@Yuunarichu Also if you go back and watch the scene where Pogo is getting blast off into space, you can see a sparrow logo on his space suit or uniform.
Season two of Umbrella Academy was so good it returned my will to live during the pandemic.
My feelings for the characters:
Handler: I hate you and I hate that I love you.
The Hargreeves: I love these human disasters.
Pogo: Yeah, just because you're cute doesn't mean I'm forgetting about what you did
Reginald Hargreeves: Screw you Reggie. Screw you with a rusty knife.
the handlers comments towards number 5, if gender reversed would be very unsettling. How many times she comments about him 'filling out his pants' well, it was multiple times and just as creepy each time.
Paddy O'Furniture I thought I was the only one who saw that it seems kinda predatory even if he’s a 58 year old
@@swandivemedia9249 I haven't gotten that far yet. Still, it is a testament on how much I hate Reginald. He's numero Uno of I Hate This Character list for me.
I forgot about Lila & Rey, Sissy
And Grace needs to be protected at all costs.
Klaus: born via immaculate conception, can commune with the dead, and knows when the end times are coming - sounds pretty Messiah-ish to me.
There also the fact that he can come back to life- oh no wait that was his misfits character.
I missed Robert Sheehan so much in the later seasons of Misfits. But I'm happy we get to experience him in all his glory as Klaus!
Plus with the long hair, it kind of looks like Jesus.
I loved season 2 so much! Just kept thinking about how for Five, this has been just a very stressful three weeks, whereas the others have all had at least some time for growth and change. Also, Allison having to silently grieve Claire - and then instantly wanting to go to her when they get back to 2019, only to realise that it's a different timeline so... Claire may not exist?! I just 😱😱😱
I really want to see Number Five being able to relax and deal with his issues. These whole two seasons have been him constantly rushing to do things and fix things and research and complete goals and he has had no time to deal with all this!!! I hope we get that in Season 3. And I want to see how Klaus deals with no Ben advising him and trying to help him.
Fiction Lover And don’t forget, he _started_ Season 1 bailing from the Commission. The poor kid/old man hasn’t had a break for 45 years
@@fictionlover2064 Absolutely! I really hope he gets a moment to breathe in season 3. Though judging by the end of season 2, he's still got some things to sort out 🤦♀️
@@DeathnoteBB Ugh yes, absolutely. I mean, clearly he's pretty messed up, but it is WILD to me that he's as functional as he is. Decades alone in a post-apocalyptic world, then suddenly becoming an assassin, finally being in a position to save his family but trapped in his teenage body and not taken seriously, etc etc... Poor guy!
Oh no! I hadn't even considered that Claire night not exist ☹
i love the fact that ellen page gives off so much lesbian energy that this season they were like we really can’t make the love interest a boy again it doesn’t work i’m sorry
I think honestly it’s more than that because I truly don’t think season 1 Viktor arc, despite being romance, was about romance. It was about wanting love and attention anywhere you can find it red flags or not. It was about comfort in times of desperation when you truly feel at rock bottom. Leonard didn’t love Viktor, he saw Viktor as a tool to use for his own selfish desires with love being the easier way to get that out of someone who Leonard probably knew was vulnerable. Viktor didn’t love Leonard either, he loved the attention, the reassurance, and the I’ll say likely being able to use it against his family as was really push Viktor more toward Leonard is how Allison, someone who has everything thinks something is wrong when Viktor just is getting attention. + I assume the whole Allison calling Viktor out about his lack of romance didn’t help and Viktor wanted to prove Allison wrong that he could maintain a relationship.
This storyline in the season does show really the first time Viktor as a character gets to live life. Without the family shadow, without the self hatred, without feeling like his life is already set. He gets to develop real emotions for the first time off of his medication and live a life that he can find romance and happiness. I don’t think first season was to necessarily shoehorn in a male love interest, it was to adapt a one of the comic book characters (who also was a man) into pointing out the way aspects of Viktor’s traumas at the time was guiding him into similar his siblings, unhealthy choices.
Such an improvement on season 1. The whole thing is just so comfy feeling, with the siblings feeling more like siblings.
When a show that has nothing to do with the X-Men dose the X-Men storylines Better then the entire X-Men movies
"nothing to do with the xmen" I mean they are literally quite clearly copying many important plot points from it like the phoenix and academy plot points so they do have "something to do" with it. They are just doing it like you said much much better
Huh your recap just made me realise the Sparrow Academy is probably connected to Harlan with him messing with the Sparrow toy.
I wonder if he becomes the first super hero called "Sparrow" and the academy is named after him.
Also if you go back and watch the scene where Pogo is getting blasted off into space, you can see a sparrow logo on his suit.
Glad to see this- I’ve seen nothing but negativity from online publications about season 2, but I thought it was great. The only thing I would change is letting Gerard Way putting more than one of his songs in a season.
I’ve been obsessed with this since it dropped last weekend and have not read anything negative. As far as I can tell, the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Gerard has added one song per season. He’ll likely add one to season 3 as well.
Zophiela from actual people I’ve only heard good things, but every time I open up google on my phone the preview stories are columnists complaining about how season 2 didn’t make sense. Probably the types who should be writing about stuff like Young Sheldon instead.
weird, i've only seen positive reviews. i mean... some people have pointed out the time travel logistics don't make sense but its still super enjoyable
Kali Johnston I totally agree
Kali Johnston Yeah, time travel never makes total logical sense and every universe handles it differently. Doctor Who said it best with “wobbly wobbly timey wimey” which pretty much sums it up.
“Daddy issues... the show!” Now with a second season!
as a swede the only thing i didnt like about this season is that the "swedes" didnt even try to speak swedish correctly. five said öga för öga very good tho
@Moa Hermansson yes i didnt understand a word they were saying... i have helped non swedish speakers speak swedish and they did it a lot better their first tries than these did... its sad
@Moa Hermansson i was chocked over how good five said öga för öga when the swedes couldnt pronounce anything
Ya all sleeping on the true hero of this season; Kate Walsh's wildly fluctuating Swedish.
I keep hearing people say "Reginald designs a robot based on the actual Grace!" But am I the only one who's 95% sure Reginald somehow turned human Grace into a robot and forced her into the immortal subservient wife/mother role (Black Mirror/Get Out takeover stuff)??? He was super threatening to her when she asked him his sketchy documents, and it's not exactly like he's a good person who cares about others' autonomy. The moments of clarity Grace seems to get in her eyes sometimes make me think so.
I have wondered if he transplanted her brain into a robot body or something. When she found his papers and things, I was sure he was going to kill her right then. I'm very curious to know what the whole story is behind Grace.
he seemed genuinely in love with her but i assume she died young or something and because he couldn't love his children he created a robot in her image to do it for him.
I don't think so... I feel like if "mom" was the actual grace he wouldn't treat her so badly, but the robot is a reminder of who he lost and that's why he's being so horrible to her..but I can be wrong
Yeah but in the "original" timeline of s1, Grace never found about his envolvement with Kennedy, because here it's Diego who told her to make some research about Reginald. So he couldn't have turned her into a robot because she found that out.
I think Reginald just can be emotional at times. But I'm not ruling out the possibility that he actually turned her into a robot and she is not just built into the image of Grace.
I disagree, Reggie is not a monster, just extremely cold-hearted. I think he realized humans were unreliable and the babies needed a mother so he just chose to model her after his one love. I didn't see him threatening her at all, he was just like, bitch we talked about this, you know I'm sketch af, so trust me please?
Why are Diego and Lila completely socially accepted in the 60s? Are the writers not aware that racism wasn’t exclusively aimed at black people? Hispanic and all foreigners got it just as bad yet Diego and Lila were always fine and literally never faced discrimination in the 60s.
The only thing that i can't take of the season is luther and im not talking about his character im talking about his powers at the start of the season he takes the shoot from a tank to back and he's just smileing then he he gets KO by some random guy, he gets KO by the fire extinguisher and kill by a asult rifle. I mean c'mon.
@Trash Goblin even so, it's OK if they want to change a bit of the powers or the magnitude of them for the series, but they got at least keep it consistent within the series. The thing with the fire extinguisher is just BS imo
None of their powers are well-defined. And that's part of the charm of the messiness of the show
Well... in that timeline, all of them probably had been fighting constantly until Five showed up, fighting like that and doing the best to stay alive could have helped them, including Luther, develop their skills. He could take the shoot because he's better at using his ability.
But the Luther in ss2 timeline only fought for show, and with normal people, bare hands and all. He didn't really need to use his full "power" but just a little bit strength. Not to mention, I think he has to intentionally "activate" it(?), if didn't, he's just bigger and stronger than normal person, nothing special.
It's just like how in the first episode Klaus could summon physical ghosts, Diego could change bullets direction... , but not until the last episode that they could do it again, and only because their lives were on the line.
It greatly annoyed me that Allison didn't tell her husband about her powers. Especially when he got mad at her because he thought she was a covert government agent.
It makes sense but I’m glad his anger at her was short lived
For me, season 1 was about everything which can go wrong in traumatic circumstances, while season 2 - what comes out right in these circumstances
Reggie: _"I'm not adopting those losers again this time around."_
Can someone explain how Lila learned about her powers, if her power is copying other powers? 🤔
Yes, think X-Men's Rogue
She was able to mirror Diego’s dancing as well, so probably they realised she could copy skills first and figured it out. The Handler already expected her to have powers.
I reckon she’s encountered some of the other 43 people born on that day with powers! I hope we get some flashbacks next season!
@@aprilaleksander Yes, the Handler knew exactly what she might be, she has control of space and time. Not hard to find one of the special kids and have them go on a playdate. Once she tried everything else it was only logical to put her in the same room as the special kids
My hope, though it's a slim one, is that Sissy did get approached by Herb who'd explain he could help Harlan and takes both of them on a tour of the Commission, leading to her becoming one of the behind the scenes agents. That way, she'd be able to go and have visits with Vanya anywhere in time they wanted to go.
i love this
I really like this season. However, I really missed fun scenes like "I think we're alone now" and "dancing in the moonlight" ones. To be honest, that whole episode that has "dancing in the moonlight" in it, is still my favorite episode in the show. Second season is great, but it lacks that random, charming, fun that first season had.
I agree, they obviously wanted to repeat the magic of those scenes with the hair dressers scene, and the stylistic ultra violence with Five's execution scene and the Swedes, but still, the ones in the first season were better. Overall, it was a strong season, though.
Emmuzka Yeah all the music scenes felt so forced. Some were really cool, but it felt like there was one per episode! After a few episodes I just got bored, like “Okay, I get it, the dance and musical fight scenes were crazy popular last season so you did it again.”
Maybe I’m just not critical enough but I actually loved S2 because I thought it had a less serious/more fun vibe
I never even finished season 1 because they retconned my favorite episode. As soon as they erased the episode that was easily my favorite to that point, I lost all forward momentum.
But season 2 looked so good so I jumped back in. And season 2, so far, hasn't disappointed. It's been great.
Not sure how anybody could like 1 better than 2.
SchulzEricT That’s not what retcon means lmao.
I loved it so much, binged the whole season as soon as it was out 😂
Same. I finished it the day it came out
Same!
Me: *a poor pansexual*
TUA Season 2: *exists*
Me: *chuckles* I'm in danger
me except i’m bi like they had NO REASON being that hot🙈✨
I just love imagining how much that actor that does 5 loves his gig. Most actors his age get stuck doing roles like 'awkward tween love interest' or 'sad boy' or 'divorced child plot moppet' and he's like 'I get to be a badass to dope music and swing an axe around'. Just love it lol
As Scooby would say, "Ranya's a resbian?"
I would say she is bi or pan
@@daisybrianna77
Or she could have “dated” that Harold/Leonard guy then realized she liked girls, but you’re probably right
Its so fucking weird hearing elliots dead name-
I was expecting for Amanda to refer AJ as fishman. And she did. Also more simping for Ellen Page? Yes PLEASE. This video rules! 🥰
The best thing is Five yelling "I'm the daddy here" on Luther
I literally watched the whole of season two in one day I loved it so much and I just need to put that out into the world lol
me too!
Everything with Harlan pulled at my heartstrings so bad! ❤😢
My 9yo is autistic & the scene when the record player broke really hit home...like "You get that bear hug going, mama! Keep assuring him it will be alright."
For me Five's "I'm the daddy here!" line and Diego's "I made that machine my bitch!" were my favourite lines of the show.
I enjoyed this season even more than season 1. I thought it'd be impossible but here we are.
Just here to drop a like. I'll be back when I'm done watching the whole season. Currently on episode 6
Appreciate it!
You’re for the best episodes the later eps are the best imo
Only downside to me was Diego. I don't remember him being a raging moron in the first season. He got on my last nerve this one. I will admit I did feel really bad for him when their father shut him down and he started stuttering again. Other than that 2 thumbs up, better than season 1, can't wait for season 3.
Wow I thought he was super annoying the 1st season, still a himbo this season but more entertaining.
Wow I had totally the opposite reaction. I wasn't a huge fan in the first season, but second season made me love him BECAUSE he's a bit of a moron. Made his personality more interesting and loveable to me. And his relationship with Lila was the first ship I've cared about in this show.
@@TheLadyIntegra Ekhm what about Five and his wife Dolores?
@@julkaczaps1307 I stand corrected. They're the second ship I've cared about 😅
The scene in the hair salon with Klaus, Vanya and Allison was just the sweetest and I've rewatched it many times. Also they said in an interview they had an actual choreography for the dance but dropped it and just went ahead being silly because it felt more natural and that was a great choice
This makes me feel better about the fact that they aren't giving us anymore Dirk Gently.... I still want Bart back, but Vanya is a whole spirit animal
this season of UA was so good it felt like a warm blanket on a rainy day
you mean... umbrella? :DD jk that didnt make sense
Yeah this show was definitely hit and miss. 99% Hit and 1% Miss, but even this Misses grazed the ball. Like I can understand how people grow from start to finish and majority of the characters are done well. The hero complex of Diego is a bit annoying as it jut feels like he’s trying to pull the story away to his thing. The girl who was planted there as a spy was a bit obvious for me from the start when she could fight properly so that wasn’t as impactful, especially since I knew she’d most likely change sides. But besides those little nit picks the show was great. 5s whole story here was done well, he grew his powers as he can do slight time travel now. Klaus as ok with his cult stuff, I wasn’t as surprised that he started a cult and then wanted to leave. Bens emotions about the entire thing was understandable as he just wanted to see everyone get better and go home, and helped Vanya with her emotions. Luther was probably the weakest of the stories I think but it’s still very good I think they should of given him more or something different than working in an underground fighting pit. Allison was understandable as she was fighting in the Black Lives Matter movement as this is something she would do, and the love between her and her husband felt real. Sir Reginald was acted quite well as I loved how he was acting due to being accosted by these guys. They’re all shocked about why he would harm them and it’s like he didn’t know them at all and they snuck into his business. All in all I would give it 9.5/10 some little things could be tweaked but besides from that I enjoyed it whole heartedly. Good music choices again during fights, fight choreography was amazing as I was so engaged during it. Also can I say that this was an amazing video made by you
I think Diego’s hero complex is meant to be annoying, because it’s a genuine mental problem caused by childhood trauma and that’s often how it is. He definitely hasn’t been able to let go of that as well as some of the others, I think he honestly just needs a good therapy session loll
That lesbian rep really made my little gay heart sore. As if I wasn’t already simping *hard* for Ellen Page
The fact that she Changed the description after Elliot came out...
We stan
I liked it a lot but I felt it was missing something, and after talking to my friend the thing we missed most was hazel and chacha relationship. I know why they couldn't show up but the show lacked a fun dynamic like theirs everyone else had some really heavy stories. But overall I loved it
Yes, the Swedes were nothing to them. Thankfully we got the "gerbil man" to present the causality guarding people as something else than all just blank slates.
Yeah I was disappointed in the minuscule serving of hazel. He was one of my favorite things about the first season
YES! The Swedes were so lame, like essentially walking robots until the first brother died, and then they were just conflicted robots and vengeful robots. Hazel was my favorite character from season 1, I felt he was the most interesting and the coolest, he saw all of space and time and just wanted to fall in love with a weird doughnut lady. I JUST watched season 2 and I'm already forgetting the Swedes were part of it
It's kinda sad because I watched it all in one night and now it's all over. 😔
I love you came back to this to note Elliot's name in the comment.
I really love that Diego is allowed to be emotionally soft and to cry. I love his character so, so much
Also that Olga Forolga scene. That had me in tears.
Honestly the part of sissy and Vanya holding and touching hands filled me with so much joy, I've rewatched that scene so many times.
A ''walking no u'' is such a good desciption of Lila lol
Me in all episodes: Please [name], stop no stop being dumb
I was waiting for your take on this season the second I finished watching. You called Vanya being bisexual and I love that
Apparently, her being or not being bisexual is big point of contention for some fans. They feel that the Leonard thing was just compulsory heterosexuality and not calling Vanya is lesbian is wrong.
(Well, stronger words than "wrong" are used but, ya know...)
I mean, as a lesbian myself, I do get that. But i feel like calling her a lesbian for sure could come across as bi erasure. I guess it's really up for interpretation at this point though
Laura Martin-Falla that! Also he was the first person to treat her “nicely”. Like her family treated her like an outcast her whole life and she didn’t know why. Suddenly someone comes along and likes and embraces all of her, and It made sense that holds on to that. From her perspective, Leonard is the one good thing in her life outside of music.
@@LMvonLebkuchen my last comment was supposed to be a reply to you by the way but I forgot how youtube works. I definitely see how her relationship with Leonard could be perceived as compulsory heterosexuality, but I didn't see that while watching (only in hindsight) so i honestly don't understand how just thinking a character is bi could offend anyone.
@@heathermorton3598 The whole Leonard thing was such a dumpster fire that I don't know how I relate it back to Vanya's sexuality.
Even if he had been just a sweet guy, it went REALLY fast. Was she attracted to him at all? To any men? Did she feel compelled to do anything because of comphet or was she just happy someone was interessted in her?
The relationship with Sissy happened organically and without manipulation. Vanya is a woman who loves women. But, when it comes to men, I feel like there is a "lack of data" one way or another and it makes me reluctant to label her one way or the other. (Note: I am not invested in either over the other, even if it seems like I am arguing for bisexuality. Canon says lesbian? Lesbian it is!)
Just curious, what bits did you see as comphet in hindsight?
If you guys want a good show about weird timelines/time travel, I would recommend watching Dark on Netflix.
i’m really happy vanya was included in the mission 🥰
Watching this season reminded me how many types of people I'm attracted to
Hahahahah omfg!! So true!!! 😆😆💀💀💀
loved this season even more than the first one. I wished for Sissy to get into the future with Vanja, both for the sake of their relationship, her personal safety and because Harlands life could have been much easier with the help of modern medicine and knowledge
I think I know why ben and klaus were acting so catty towards each other. Klaus spent the entirety of last season trying to do better and Ben was really happy to see that, but the minute they landed in the 60s Klaus went back to not caring a bit, and I think that broke Ben's heart a bit, so he lashed out at Klaus constantly
Oh my lorrrrrrd. Sissy, Harlan and Ray could all feasibly still be alive in the timeline and I wanted a scene with the Umbrella Academy members reuniting with their relationships from the 60s in present day. Maybe later in the story.
Would also love to have seen Allison’s husband at a bbq with the rest of them. Even as just a stupid side story. That would have been funny as hell.
The scene that I didn't expect to make me tear is when Diego started to stutter when answering Sir Reginald
Diego: You're wr....wrong
My heart: Just died
The scene where Luther and Vanya meet again in the barn is genuinely some of the best acting I’ve seen in a long time. I was completely convinced that Vanya believed that she didn’t remember him at all and watching her realise who he was and what she did to hurt him was heartbreaking. 10/10 give that woman a Golden Globe immediately!
I prefer season 1 to 2 but I think both are real great television. I just like season 1's darker tone and themes of parental abuse and it's lasting effects which I feel like season 2 didn't really have any themes and traded them in for a lighter tone. I have my nitpicks for both seasons but I overall really love the show
Amanda’s videos have been a huge bright spot in my quarantine :)
I had a lot of fun with the second season. I personally prefer the first season but both were really good.
Five, the time traveller who is always late.
I’m honestly confuses by luther because he’s mostly big strong guy that doesn’t always say the smartest things comic relief... like what is his caracter except an obsession with allison? (as a german native öga for öga was like the least relatable most ever the dude was litterally stabbed in the eye!!)
Luther's character sucks. Let's be honest.
Haha yeah, as a fellow German I really laughed at how they tried to make this somehow plausible in the dub... But oh well, I guess it worked out fine enough ^^
