I think Diego has that, as there’s a scene in s1 where he searches a large lake for his Reggie’s monocle. But that could just be little bit of foreshadowing of him unlocking his powers later.
The showed glimpses of Klaus's levitation when the two ghosts caught him in Season 1 on the farm and when Ben twirled him around at the meeting in season 2
Diego’s ability isn’t knife throwing- he can manipulate the trajectory of objects. Yes this skill lends well to knife throwing but it’s this ability that allowed him to stop and redirect the bullets last season
it really amazes me how most people miss this. i've seen quite a few videos and essays on the show and diego's abilities are always "knife throwing". like even without the scene of him redirecting the bullets last season, all the scenes where he throws the knives and they CHANGE TRAJECTORY should be enough of a clue to properly name his powers.

to be fair I think the first umbrella comics were published before misfits so it might be Nathan from Misfits was somewhat based on Klaus or it could just be an accident. Though both of them played by the same actor is most likely just producers being a bit lazy and going for an actor that they knew would do great as a goofy immortal playing with ghosts
@@Ysmir. but in the comics, Klaus powers are quite different: he can speak to ghosts, have telekinesis and levitation. It might just a nod to his previous character
@@triccele Nathan could speak to dead too. Not in the same way, he just saw the dead as normal people, half the time he didn't even know they were dead but still, pretty similar

I hope they do more with Diego’s ability. He can curve projectiles at his will. Whether he’s thrown them or not. That’s why I can curve bullets in season 2. But he’s throwing cans in this season and is missing 😂 still love this show so much. Just felt like his ability was a little nerfed this season.
Seems like the show’s umbrella academy brothers are imcomplete, Klaus having just unlocked some of his potential.. before (spoiler) Taking it away in the last episode of season 3. I wonder how it will go from there..
It kinda pissed me off he didn't use his power against Jayme, the spitting one. When they showed her spitting ins slow motion, I asumed Diego was just make the spit went another direction and they would notice what Diego's powers actually were.
I remember in the first season I said “OH, he’s like Nathan” and my sister said “ no, Nathan was immortal “ and then laughed at me, LOOK WHOS LAUGHING NOW CHELSEA
for the people still confused about diego's powers, he has trajectory manipulation. he can control things when thrown. or is in the air moving. such as bullets or previously thrown knives.
8:00 actually, Harlen seems to have killed 27 woman. While it’s not 100% confirmed if he actually did, episode 1 of season 3 starts by dropping the 43 kids born to only 16. Since Hargreaves never made any comment about causing less Children to be born in S3, it’s probably more fair to assume they all died like the 6 main character’s mothers
If I had a nickel for every time Robert Sheehan portrayed an unkillable super hero I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
Not just that. If you had a nickel for every time he played a medium/ person who can communicate with the dead, you’d have three. There’s a movie where he plays a medium with ptsd and alcoholism/ drug abuse.
I’d consider Allison the “villain” of this season and there was no resolution to this. It was like watching the villain get everything they want and win in the end and I love klaus’s character development this season, he is my favourite character by far. Him just being like “whatever” when he and luther died was so funny to me. And I would like to know what his spirit barrage, or whatever it was, was.
That Klaus 'spoiler alert' is gonna be the thing from now on, isn't it? I bet not even just with umbrella academy. but can we blame him. he did it so perfectly
I really enjoyed Season 3 and I hope the series gets at least 1 more Season. If so, Season 4 needs to have more scenes of the Umbrellas and the Sparrows fighting alongside each other, as well as give us more information on the other 29 children born with superpowers.
the umbrella academy is the greatest example of not all changes from source material are bad. like i don't mind the plot straying from the original book or in this case comic, as long as it's just good and it works.
Ben being named The Horror is literally because his tentacles is that of an Eldritch God akin to Chtuhlu, you know from the genre of Comsic/Lovecraftian Horror
I think it is worth to notice that Vanya's relationship with Five and Diego are very different. Vanya was close with Five and not very friendly with Diego in s01 of the show. In the comic Vanya seemed to be close with Diego. And Five, wel, l killed her saying He never liked her so...
Kinda weird the main marketing for this season revolved around the Sparrows but they gave us almost nothing of any substance with them. It was like they were just plot devices to shoehorn in Sloan and the new Ben.
Yeah, most of the Sparrows had so much potential that could have been explored more, but I think marketing-wise it was a clever decision. I don't think they would have gone away with the "ahhh another apocalypse again🙄" strategy, it gets old after sometime. And Sparrows were the only plot point that was known to the audience after S2 that alluded to S3. So why not make hype around it? They couldn't have revealed the Kugelblitz, or Reggie's plans or the Seven Bells so early- it would have taken away the suspense of it.
Actually in the comics five's cells didn't stop aging because of his time traveling but because of the commission's augmentation surgeries on him to make him the perfect weapon, giving him the dna of the finests assassins and serial killers
This is what I noticed too. Didnt she create her daughter with her powers? Or was it her daughters father? I remember thinking she did something quite significant, it wasn't just rumouring her daughter to sleep
maybe on the show she doesn't even *know* she can actually do it, and her powers (maybe as well as those of the others) will be explored in the next season.
Something I've noticed is that only 5 and now Klaus really know their powers very well at all in the show. Everyone else never had the chance to fully explore what they could do since their father never pushed them beyond their current capabilities (like the crash course Klaus went through). Even 5 struggles to control his time jumping ability. The rest of them had no reason to improve their abilities and hated their father as well, so they stuck to just staying where they were.
@@Hey-Its-Dingo The writer of the comics Garth Ennis went on record that he hates superheroes and the comics were his way of venting his hatred. The ending of the comics is universally bad and predictable ASF SPOILERS Billy butcher loses his mind & kills his teammates and then sets it up so Huey kills him. All of the horrible stuff that you were meant to think was committed by a clone who is really black noir
I wonder if Diego's power fully realized could be similar to accelerator...like imagine diego having an automotic trajectory manipulation field around him that protects him from all bullets and other vectors
Ben is called the horror because (in the comics at least, I can't remember if they say anything about this in the show) his stomach opens a portal to another dimension full of monsters. It's supposed to be referencing cosmic horror, unspeakable gods, unknowable terrors, the horrors.
I believe in season 3 it was hinted that 5 is (canonically) not aging. I think he mentioned something about eternally being in a state of hormones going wild, or something like that. Of course more difficult to keep it that way with an actually aging actor. However! They could make him age now I'm the new universe.
Did anyone else think of Good Omens when Klaus’s comic character had the “hail satan” bit. The hand placement, sunglasses, and everything remind me of Crowley.
I just wanted to say... Diego's power is not just throwing knives, he can manipulate the trajectory of any projectile, as it was shown during the intro and final episode of season 2, when he manipulated the bullets.
I really enjoyed how they changed the whole orchestra to Leonard who really got a story and a purpose while the comic villains were just "WE WANT TO DIE!!!"
@@triccele yeah cuz that chemical romance dude dont know how to write, literally all the superheroes are overpowered and the villians just want to be bad for the sake of "conquer the world" thats so 60s
@@jjba3571 That’s how comics work, lol. The comics are way more coherent than the series and a lot more enjoyable, but it’s not worth comparing them since they’re from different platforms, so that’s that. Without Gerard there wouldn’t be Umbrella Academy.
"rebuked by Allison" *shows the actual scene where she's rebuked by diego* also the match against the space squid was in 1950, not 89, same for the births
Like Locke & Key, I think overall Netflix has been doing good with the adaptations. Yes, there are differences. But in both cases I like the comics and the live-action.
It would be cool to have a spinoff w/ just five. The scene in the last season w/ all the fives in the coffee shop was by far the most interesting part. Klaus is cool too but they make him so useless. Its good to show the negatives but they gave him no positive traits.
I'm a fan of both. I like very much how the show has become its own thing because you get a lot more characterization and surprise in the plots. Though I do hope to see a more faithful adaptation one day, because the comics setting brings a lot of personality.
my only nitpick is that technically Viktor could have kept his original name, Vanya, as a name is unisex as a matter of fact the most famous literary character to have that name, is a man named Uncle Vanya
I think they changed it to make it more obvious for the viewer of the show that vanya/victor is a boy. Also it's pretty rare for transpeople to keep their names since in their mind and in the mind of everyone around them the name is kind of bound to the other gender and it is just a clean cut and the begin of something new ^-^
@Purple Headed Yogurt Flinger and also ellen page is still a girl. she just chopped her tits off. body mutilation doesn't magically turn you in to a man
@Purple Headed Yogurt Flinger yes they could have played vanya as female. I don't have enough information about this to argue about with you, so please correct me if I am wrong. I think I read something about Elliot Page said he would play Vanya as female and it was the producers choice to match the character to be trans as well. Also its pretty cool to have some positive visibility for trans people.
I really enjoy this kind of adaptation, where it isn't a 1-to-1 or a summary of the original but a remix of it. It would still feel fresh if you only experienced one version yet still be familiar
Im pretty sure in the comic Diego's only power is holding his breath whilst knife throwing is a skill he practiced to compensate for the fact he doesnt really have a useful power. In the TV show his power is trajectory manipulation though I think
Klaus is immortal in the comics too and does also have that same scene in the black and white heaven/afterwolrd(?) meeting who is suggested to be god, tho in the comics its an old cowboy on his horse and not a young girl on a bike
Luther and five could both technically be related in the show since Lyla was present around Harland even if they never met they were in close enough proximity for him to “feel” her presence so her mother could be the 6th mother to be killed
If Klaus can always resurrect (it just takes time) - then how come he did not resurrect after the original Apocalypse in the first season, to tell the details to Five?
Like in season 3, he probably did not want too and had no reason too. He probably chose to stay with his siblings and no wonder around alone forever, and he probably though 5 went to peace.
@@samlifts2173 Yeah, as the scene with Luther suggests, he can stay dead if he wants to, and him coming back to life before was always him just thinking it was time to wake up from his dreams.
it may be depending on the S3 went with viewership. it seemed like S3 didnt have the budget for a lot of the CGI they were going for. Makes me think Netflix didnt have as much faith in it.. Also releasing it the same month as Stranger Things instead of a a different month to retain viewers.
I personally think it'd be fine with just one more season, as much as I love the characters, running for too long can be a problem. I can see the plot lines left being closed in one more season, two if you want to be more generous. Any more than that could ruin the characters imo
The showrunner specifically said he always planned the show to be 4 Seasons, I remember him saying that when promoting Season 2. When Season 1 was being promoted, he said (paraphrased) "Gerard told me the comic is gonna be, I think, 8 volumes? So ideally we'd do 8 Seasons of the show, but I don't know if Netflix will keep us around that long. *laughs*"
I love that they very much rejected the sexualisation of female characters in the show. many live adaptations from comics, eg dc and marvel, continued to exploit female bodies and tried to centralised their characteristics around their external "sexiness". very glad to see that the umbrella academy has been giving us hot and well-rounded characters.
Yes, is actually kind of sad that comics still lowkey sexist in that department, this dude literslly wrote 3 female characters and all of them are heavy sexualized, yet the male are all super overpowered smart and sassy, self insertion where 🙄... and literally one of the girls power is literally being vein and manipulative .... show writers save that for us
Why is every character in a fictional universe there for your sexual gratitude? Why is everyone being judged by their gender when we claim to be more inclusive than ever? Questions that just don't make sense.
I think, if I you really look at it, the finale allows the comics to become pre-seasons to the show, causing them all to be certain resets. The book stops at season 3, so that cosmic being locked in the prison is most likely “*************”
Season 3 was bad (Spoilers) A lot of things didn't matter to the plot at all. I know it's a common trope for the characters to do their own thing then group up, but this season it didn't make any sense. Five not mentioning the important fact he had the briefcase, the siblings forgiving casual murder, how quick they got rid of the sparrows, etc.
It's SO funny to me that a certain part of tua fandom either likes to headcannon five as ace or ship him with vanya when actually in the comics he coldly shoots her in the head, states outloud he never liked her much, and brags about being a womaniser during his time in the commission. Also there's a weird scene of the comics suggeting he may be somewhat of a creepy pervert
Adding onto that, the comics only shows him once with dolores when he's old in the apocalypse and he never gets back to her/try to find her/even just mentions her anymore after he travels back in time. And on the other hand, comics vanya states the only one she actually loves and considers her family is diego, and they have a couple of scenes suggesting they almost have another sort of Luther-Allison going on so... Eh
All the people saying this make me feel so sad😭😭I’m just gonna ignore that the comics even existed and just go along with the show at this point😭 Ik I said that but I’m intrigued. So she never had any other nice relationship with any other of her siblings? Did they never like make up or anything? I think I saw someone say that comic five and vanya had a thing?? Also what did he do to coke across as a pervert
The handler and detective patch don't exist in the comics either, and Hazel and cha-cha are both men in the comics, with Hazel being the black character in the pink mask and cha cha being the white one in the blue mask. Confused me a lot when I was reading lol
Season three and four in my opinion should’ve never happened. It was a huge letdown. I’m just gonna pretend it never existed and at the end of season two was how the show ended
I don't understand why we don't call Vanya Vanya in the first 2 seasons. She becomes Viktor in season three, an not earlier. It's cool the worked it in like they did, but come on, don't rewrite the first two seasons. She was called Vanya.
He was always Viktor and deadnaming is never cool even with fictional characters. That’s why they also changed the credits of the first seasons to Elliot Page. It’s not that hard.
@@curlycrown3494 but know we are stuck with confusing descriptions for the sake of political correctness. When I was S02E03, that personage is called Vanya. In S03 it becomes Viktor. Clarity is more important than the feels in this case, is my opinion.
@@DavidHardyNL it's not that difficult to understand (tough sell in a series as complicated as this - if you can understand the time travel, surely you can keep track of one person with a former and an actual name. But your dismissive use of 'feels' and the term 'political correctness' leads me to believe you have no interest in the implications for real live people that are facing active discrimination and hate on a daily basis. While THAT is more important than your 'feels' about clarity.
@@curlycrown3494 That is factually incorrect. The character is called Vanya even in the first episode of the third season. What are you trying to accomplish by being literally wrong?
Im resurrecting a 7month video for reasons. When the person say Diego and Ben should be swap the names the end up, i disagree. Horror with tentacles makes perfect sense into any terror movie and book. Also the Leviathan and other sea creatures that are portages as "horror" , me being a fan of H.P Lovecraft, i couldnt agree more.
When i was a young boy i teleported into another age, then grew into an old man, Then one day, i came back, my old mind in the body of a child, And i cant drink cause I'm underage
Ben is The Horror because of his Cthulhu stomach, and Diego is The Kraken because he can hold his breath underwater forever. (Diego's power is holding his breath forever, not water breathing, he uses it to escape gas traps a few times in the comic)
Can't believe they forgot one of the best scenes in season 2, his power isn't knife throwing either, it's projectile manipulation, that's why he was able to redirect the bullets twice last season, in the opening and finale.
i found out about the umbrealla acadamy because of mcr basically I found out te gerard way has made comics so I serted them up and found out that the umbrella academy also has a netflex show
I really hope that they eventually give Diego his ability to breath underwater, or Klaus his power of levitation!
I think Diego has that, as there’s a scene in s1 where he searches a large lake for his Reggie’s monocle. But that could just be little bit of foreshadowing of him unlocking his powers later.
They kind of foreshadowed Klaus' levitation In season 2 where Ben as a spirit picks Klaus up in front of a group of wealthy people

@@daishanaaykelly9563 yeah, Viktor outright says that 27 women died that day.
Also the 6th month we could’ve been Lila’s right? Even without this explanation

If I had a nickel for every time Robert Sheehan portrayed an unkillable super hero I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
Not just that. If you had a nickel for every time he played a medium/ person who can communicate with the dead, you’d have three. There’s a movie where he plays a medium with ptsd and alcoholism/ drug abuse.
3 times actually, he is getting a little typecast
@@Negus_Art WHAT IS THE 3RD ONE??? I need to watch it
@@zeenbean2135 it’s a movie called “The Messenger”.
Is the "nickel" a reference to a line in the season? ;)
I love what they did with Klaus for the show, he's one of my favorite characters! He's super funny but he also experiences a lot of growth
I’d consider Allison the “villain” of this season and there was no resolution to this. It was like watching the villain get everything they want and win in the end and I love klaus’s character development this season, he is my favourite character by far. Him just being like “whatever” when he and luther died was so funny to me. And I would like to know what his spirit barrage, or whatever it was, was.
Allison has to be depowered and sent to Phantom Zone. This gal is deluuuusional.
That Klaus 'spoiler alert' is gonna be the thing from now on, isn't it? I bet not even just with umbrella academy. but can we blame him. he did it so perfectly
I really enjoyed Season 3 and I hope the series gets at least 1 more Season. If so, Season 4 needs to have more scenes of the Umbrellas and the Sparrows fighting alongside each other, as well as give us more information on the other 29 children born with superpowers.
Definitely!
@@ScreenRant do you know when the next season might be confirmed?
I looooooooooooooooooved S3..!!!!
Well there wont be next season if theres no next book the authors say they might release 5 more books
Definitely Umbrell Academy is great
the umbrella academy is the greatest example of not all changes from source material are bad. like i don't mind the plot straying from the original book or in this case comic, as long as it's just good and it works.
Who is here watching this video after season 4?
Me, like oh God. His last sentence hits so different after watching S4 lol painful
Ben being named The Horror is literally because his tentacles is that of an Eldritch God akin to Chtuhlu, you know from the genre of Comsic/Lovecraftian Horror
Those are some weak tentacles, one little stab and Ben is down.
@@dr.lesbien9618 I mean as a kid he killed quite a lot of robbers during the bank heist. Though I see what you mean, he’s not that durable
I wanted to comment this too. The commentator for this video is a little naive.
Show: Everyone is tolerable except for Luther
Comic: Nobody is tolerable except for Luther
I think it is worth to notice that Vanya's relationship with Five and Diego are very different. Vanya was close with Five and not very friendly with Diego in s01 of the show. In the comic Vanya seemed to be close with Diego. And Five, wel, l killed her saying He never liked her so...
Kinda weird the main marketing for this season revolved around the Sparrows but they gave us almost nothing of any substance with them. It was like they were just plot devices to shoehorn in Sloan and the new Ben.
Yeah, most of the Sparrows had so much potential that could have been explored more, but I think marketing-wise it was a clever decision. I don't think they would have gone away with the "ahhh another apocalypse again🙄" strategy, it gets old after sometime. And Sparrows were the only plot point that was known to the audience after S2 that alluded to S3. So why not make hype around it? They couldn't have revealed the Kugelblitz, or Reggie's plans or the Seven Bells so early- it would have taken away the suspense of it.
Actually in the comics five's cells didn't stop aging because of his time traveling but because of the commission's augmentation surgeries on him to make him the perfect weapon, giving him the dna of the finests assassins and serial killers
No mention of Allison's powers? In the show she just mind controls people. In the comic literally anything she says can come true.
This is what I noticed too. Didnt she create her daughter with her powers? Or was it her daughters father? I remember thinking she did something quite significant, it wasn't just rumouring her daughter to sleep
maybe on the show she doesn't even *know* she can actually do it, and her powers (maybe as well as those of the others) will be explored in the next season.
Something I've noticed is that only 5 and now Klaus really know their powers very well at all in the show. Everyone else never had the chance to fully explore what they could do since their father never pushed them beyond their current capabilities (like the crash course Klaus went through). Even 5 struggles to control his time jumping ability. The rest of them had no reason to improve their abilities and hated their father as well, so they stuck to just staying where they were.
That’s not actually true, Allison in the show can bend reality. She rumors someone that “she blew their minds” and their brains exploded, literally.
@@thetuggiefresh5599 exactly
the only comics adapted show that might not be too accurate but is still perfect and even the comics are awesome
The Boys would like to have a word
@@NeonWafflez707 The Boy's comic is a horrendously written dumpster fire, so yeah, the show is infinitely better.
I love that both products are incredibly different, but kept thr same spirit, and that both are really awesome in their own way.
@@Hey-Its-Dingo
The writer of the comics Garth Ennis went on record that he hates superheroes and the comics were his way of venting his hatred. The ending of the comics is universally bad and predictable ASF SPOILERS Billy butcher loses his mind & kills his teammates and then sets it up so Huey kills him.
All of the horrible stuff that you were meant to think was committed by a clone who is really black noir
I wonder if Diego's power fully realized could be similar to accelerator...like imagine diego having an automotic trajectory manipulation field around him that protects him from all bullets and other vectors
Ben is called the horror because (in the comics at least, I can't remember if they say anything about this in the show) his stomach opens a portal to another dimension full of monsters. It's supposed to be referencing cosmic horror, unspeakable gods, unknowable terrors, the horrors.
I believe in season 3 it was hinted that 5 is (canonically) not aging. I think he mentioned something about eternally being in a state of hormones going wild, or something like that. Of course more difficult to keep it that way with an actually aging actor.
However! They could make him age now I'm the new universe.
I think that was more of joke with 5 still going through puberty since he’s only like 13-14
They brought it up in season 2 as well. The Handler said they were working on making him an adult body. He wasn't going to be able to age in this one.
I think that was hyperbole
Having seen that last season, I hope by god he does age!
Did anyone else think of Good Omens when Klaus’s comic character had the “hail satan” bit. The hand placement, sunglasses, and everything remind me of Crowley.
I just wanted to say... Diego's power is not just throwing knives, he can manipulate the trajectory of any projectile, as it was shown during the intro and final episode of season 2, when he manipulated the bullets.
I really enjoyed how they changed the whole orchestra to Leonard who really got a story and a purpose while the comic villains were just "WE WANT TO DIE!!!"
As explained in this video, in the comic villians are more cartoonishly evil, in the show they are more realistically evil.
@@triccele yeah cuz that chemical romance dude dont know how to write, literally all the superheroes are overpowered and the villians just want to be bad for the sake of "conquer the world" thats so 60s

wow i sure hope they dont mess up the final season
haha, nice one
Lmao RIP
Was literally looking for this video on your channel a hour ago good on you lad
"rebuked by Allison"
*shows the actual scene where she's rebuked by diego*
also the match against the space squid was in 1950, not 89, same for the births
Like Locke & Key, I think overall Netflix has been doing good with the adaptations. Yes, there are differences. But in both cases I like the comics and the live-action.
I blinked here to warn y'all about season 4
The kid who plays 5 is a fantastic actor. You never for one second doubt he's a crabby 50+ year old man.
“And I look forward to where it goes” that didn’t age well
Very well created show..... Love the show
Actually like the route they went with by changing the characters up from the Comic Books
Awesome show !!! Can't wait for the next season
dont forget that in comics klaus can only use his powers while bare foot also
I am very much invested in Abigail. What kind of person she is and all that. I hope she's sweet like Grace.
Who’s Abigail?
@@zeliha8113 Reggie's dead wife who's alive in the new timeline.
@@dimgus3653 Omggg I forgot her name was Abigail lol
Don't know... She looked quite sinister standing besides Sir Reginald at the end of the season.
@@triccele yeah kind of 💀
Let it be known that Klaus's immortal ability is the actors same ability in Misfits season 1.
More like Misfits season 2, as he also can see ghosts in that one.
Diego telekinetically curves things he throws i.e. the knives, it's why he is such a sharpshooter with them
It would be cool to have a spinoff w/ just five. The scene in the last season w/ all the fives in the coffee shop was by far the most interesting part. Klaus is cool too but they make him so useless. Its good to show the negatives but they gave him no positive traits.
Changes to Klaus are great in my opinion. He's one of my favorites in the show.
I'm a fan of both. I like very much how the show has become its own thing because you get a lot more characterization and surprise in the plots. Though I do hope to see a more faithful adaptation one day, because the comics setting brings a lot of personality.
what show/movie was the Cthulhu looking thing from 3:42 from?
They didn't mention the VAST difference between Luther's "ape" body in the show vs comic? Sorry, I thought that was a huge difference.
I just realised Robert Sheehan character in Misfits has the same power. !!!
my only nitpick is that technically Viktor could have kept his original name, Vanya, as a name is unisex as a matter of fact the most famous literary character to have that name, is a man named Uncle Vanya
I think they changed it to make it more obvious for the viewer of the show that vanya/victor is a boy. Also it's pretty rare for transpeople to keep their names since in their mind and in the mind of everyone around them the name is kind of bound to the other gender and it is just a clean cut and the begin of something new ^-^
It's not uncommon for trans people with more gender neutral names to still change their name when they transition.
@Purple Headed Yogurt Flinger exactly
@Purple Headed Yogurt Flinger and also ellen page is still a girl. she just chopped her tits off. body mutilation doesn't magically turn you in to a man
@Purple Headed Yogurt Flinger yes they could have played vanya as female. I don't have enough information about this to argue about with you, so please correct me if I am wrong. I think I read something about Elliot Page said he would play Vanya as female and it was the producers choice to match the character to be trans as well.
Also its pretty cool to have some positive visibility for trans people.
I really enjoy this kind of adaptation, where it isn't a 1-to-1 or a summary of the original but a remix of it. It would still feel fresh if you only experienced one version yet still be familiar
that wig they gave her at the beginning of the season was so, so, so bad! I've seen better wigs at halloween.
I liked Vanya so much more than Viktor.
Im pretty sure in the comic Diego's only power is holding his breath whilst knife throwing is a skill he practiced to compensate for the fact he doesnt really have a useful power. In the TV show his power is trajectory manipulation though I think
Klaus is immortal in the comics too and does also have that same scene in the black and white heaven/afterwolrd(?) meeting who is suggested to be god, tho in the comics its an old cowboy on his horse and not a young girl on a bike
What's very cool about the scenes that are present both in comic and show is that they're following the exact same lines like basically word for word
Luther and five could both technically be related in the show since Lyla was present around Harland even if they never met they were in close enough proximity for him to “feel” her presence so her mother could be the 6th mother to be killed
Also in the comics klaus isn't always followed around by Ben and only sees his ghost once, and Ben's ghost looks like an actual corpse
If Klaus can always resurrect (it just takes time) - then how come he did not resurrect after the original Apocalypse in the first season, to tell the details to Five?
Like in season 3, he probably did not want too and had no reason too. He probably chose to stay with his siblings and no wonder around alone forever, and he probably though 5 went to peace.
@@samlifts2173 Yeah, as the scene with Luther suggests, he can stay dead if he wants to, and him coming back to life before was always him just thinking it was time to wake up from his dreams.
Might also have not been developed
The probably didn't think about that in season 1.
boy watching this after season 4 was a huge dissapointment.
According to the creators of the show, though, S4 may be our final venture into the Academy. I’m hoping they’re incorrect there.
it may be depending on the S3 went with viewership. it seemed like S3 didnt have the budget for a lot of the CGI they were going for. Makes me think Netflix didnt have as much faith in it.. Also releasing it the same month as Stranger Things instead of a a different month to retain viewers.
I personally think it'd be fine with just one more season, as much as I love the characters, running for too long can be a problem. I can see the plot lines left being closed in one more season, two if you want to be more generous. Any more than that could ruin the characters imo
@@florrcorr5607 This would make sense. Beyond that would become tiresome.
I’ll be crying when it ends
The showrunner specifically said he always planned the show to be 4 Seasons, I remember him saying that when promoting Season 2. When Season 1 was being promoted, he said (paraphrased) "Gerard told me the comic is gonna be, I think, 8 volumes? So ideally we'd do 8 Seasons of the show, but I don't know if Netflix will keep us around that long. *laughs*"
I love that they very much rejected the sexualisation of female characters in the show. many live adaptations from comics, eg dc and marvel, continued to exploit female bodies and tried to centralised their characteristics around their external "sexiness". very glad to see that the umbrella academy has been giving us hot and well-rounded characters.
Yes, is actually kind of sad that comics still lowkey sexist in that department, this dude literslly wrote 3 female characters and all of them are heavy sexualized, yet the male are all super overpowered smart and sassy, self insertion where 🙄... and literally one of the girls power is literally being vein and manipulative .... show writers save that for us
I agree with you, but i must say that Vanya in the comics looks so much more badass. Could have maybe gone a different route with her
@@thomaskopv2366 true. White violin is such a cool and original character
Why is every character in a fictional universe there for your sexual gratitude?
Why is everyone being judged by their gender when we claim to be more inclusive than ever?
Questions that just don't make sense.
I honestly really wish he could've got that scene in the show where 5 caps violin girl
who's here after season 4
LOVE the comic! LOVE the show!
Who is Diago?
5 - imagine Batman and aim wayyyy lower🤣🤣🤣
Best definition of Diago.
This diagloue is gonna b in my mind forever.
6:28 - anyone else have seen tv series "The Misfits"? same actor, same power...huh
I enjoy how they made 5.
This show deserves itself to be given to us!
Bens name the horror is an hp Lovecraft nod
9:20 exactly
here in 2024… the fourth season was ass what a disappointment
I think, if I you really look at it, the finale allows the comics to become pre-seasons to the show, causing them all to be certain resets. The book stops at season 3, so that cosmic being locked in the prison is most likely “*************”
Honestly should have stopped after the last season
In the encyclopedia Viktor opens showing the Texas 6 shows Diego with an eye patch.
Why didn’t Diego move the projectile in the other dimension with Lila when he got his fingers cut off?
Season 3 was bad (Spoilers)
A lot of things didn't matter to the plot at all. I know it's a common trope for the characters to do their own thing then group up, but this season it didn't make any sense. Five not mentioning the important fact he had the briefcase, the siblings forgiving casual murder, how quick they got rid of the sparrows, etc.
i think youre forgetting that murdering isnt something they are unfamiliar with, they were killing since they were children.
@@WaddIes I mean, murdering friends though. Harlen
This show has always been disjointed and always had plot holes but for some reason I still like it. Lol
It's SO funny to me that a certain part of tua fandom either likes to headcannon five as ace or ship him with vanya when actually in the comics he coldly shoots her in the head, states outloud he never liked her much, and brags about being a womaniser during his time in the commission. Also there's a weird scene of the comics suggeting he may be somewhat of a creepy pervert
Adding onto that, the comics only shows him once with dolores when he's old in the apocalypse and he never gets back to her/try to find her/even just mentions her anymore after he travels back in time. And on the other hand, comics vanya states the only one she actually loves and considers her family is diego, and they have a couple of scenes suggesting they almost have another sort of Luther-Allison going on so... Eh
All the people saying this make me feel so sad😭😭I’m just gonna ignore that the comics even existed and just go along with the show at this point😭
Ik I said that but I’m intrigued. So she never had any other nice relationship with any other of her siblings? Did they never like make up or anything? I think I saw someone say that comic five and vanya had a thing??
Also what did he do to coke across as a pervert
3:53 this world my be the Focus in the next season
Paper Girls will be aired July 29th, you should do a differences video on the show.
I would love to see a comic accurate series.
I come from the future… do not, I repeat DO NOT watch season 4! It is an absolute train wreck!
yup, stick to watching season 3
"train wreck"
Leave it to hollywood to add gay, lesbian and trans characters to a story that rocked on it's own.
The handler and detective patch don't exist in the comics either, and Hazel and cha-cha are both men in the comics, with Hazel being the black character in the pink mask and cha cha being the white one in the blue mask. Confused me a lot when I was reading lol
Agnès does exist tho ! But looks very different and doesn't get that sweet love story
Season three and four in my opinion should’ve never happened. It was a huge letdown. I’m just gonna pretend it never existed and at the end of season two was how the show ended
three was wearable. 4 is train wreck. it might have been little better we have gotten 10 episodes
Was the "Cosmic Horror" from 3:41-3:44 part of the series or just another Netflix show? Any answer is appreciated, please and thank you!
Ik it’s not from the show unless I completely missed it but I was wondering the same thing
I'd love for Diego to develop full Telekinesis tbh
I don't understand why we don't call Vanya Vanya in the first 2 seasons. She becomes Viktor in season three, an not earlier. It's cool the worked it in like they did, but come on, don't rewrite the first two seasons. She was called Vanya.
He was always Viktor and deadnaming is never cool even with fictional characters. That’s why they also changed the credits of the first seasons to Elliot Page. It’s not that hard.
@@curlycrown3494 but know we are stuck with confusing descriptions for the sake of political correctness. When I was S02E03, that personage is called Vanya. In S03 it becomes Viktor. Clarity is more important than the feels in this case, is my opinion.
@@DavidHardyNL it's not that difficult to understand (tough sell in a series as complicated as this - if you can understand the time travel, surely you can keep track of one person with a former and an actual name. But your dismissive use of 'feels' and the term 'political correctness' leads me to believe you have no interest in the implications for real live people that are facing active discrimination and hate on a daily basis. While THAT is more important than your 'feels' about clarity.
Nah @david Hardy your right, that's how it should be referred. It's not deadnaming because they was the name then.
@@curlycrown3494 That is factually incorrect. The character is called Vanya even in the first episode of the third season. What are you trying to accomplish by being literally wrong?
Im resurrecting a 7month video for reasons. When the person say Diego and Ben should be swap the names the end up, i disagree. Horror with tentacles makes perfect sense into any terror movie and book. Also the Leviathan and other sea creatures that are portages as "horror" , me being a fan of H.P Lovecraft, i couldnt agree more.
Klaus is the best character in the show
hell yeah he is!
I hate some of the changes, it makes it kinda unwatchable, but I do enjoy the addition of Ben being around as a dead ghost.
When i was a young boy i teleported into another age, then grew into an old man,
Then one day, i came back, my old mind in the body of a child,
And i cant drink cause I'm underage
I thought the same thing about Diego & Ben's hero names in the comics. Doesn't make too much sense.
Ben is The Horror because of his Cthulhu stomach, and Diego is The Kraken because he can hold his breath underwater forever. (Diego's power is holding his breath forever, not water breathing, he uses it to escape gas traps a few times in the comic)
@@Hey-Its-Dingo I get the names, I just feel like they'd fit they'd fit better vise versa
You can't make a kid wear a monocle the whole show he will end up with a permant squint
Diego stopped bullets like neo from matrix....in season 2
Can't believe they forgot one of the best scenes in season 2, his power isn't knife throwing either, it's projectile manipulation, that's why he was able to redirect the bullets twice last season, in the opening and finale.
Lila's not in the comics? But she's my favorite!
Concept
What if dc comics & marvel comics had Hotel Oblivion from the Umbrella Academy of their own?
i found out about the umbrealla acadamy because of mcr basically I found out te gerard way has made comics so I serted them up and found out that the umbrella academy also has a netflex show
Why do you have to say Viktor when referring to her character in season 1? I don't get it
when you're referring to the past of a trans person (before they came out) you still should call them by the name they chose.
