I think the idea behind Diego is that he is basically as useful to his father because his arbitrary and comparably mundane powers such as holding his breathe, and being able to curve the trajectory of knives. Whereas everyone else has considerable more potent powers
But its more like crime / superheroes they didnt really show off their power instantly but i like the slow detail story in the series Hope s2 they will show their each own power / develop them more
You know your comic is weird when it starts with wrestlers fighting a octopus, babies popping out left and right for no reason and to top it off, they have superpowers. Lol.
@@bbgunz1705 I really enjoyed the comics. I love how in-depth they are. Although Dallas is most people's favorite (which I also love and understand why it's most people's favorite)apocalypse suite is my personal favorite just because it was something new with comics in my opinion. I also really like the show I just don't think they do The Boy and The White Violin much justice. These are 2 of the most badass characters in comics period
Speaking of Gerard Way comics, I would love to see an episode on the 'True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys' series. Not only is it a really cool series with several interesting themes, but its also based off of My Chemical Romance's 'Danger Days' album, which is one of the best, and most underrated concept albums ever!
Danger days best album, but True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys idk bout that, that was the comic that got me into comics, but I feel it was like pretty fucking rushed, and I really didn't like it, like for real, we don't get any time to develope any characters, it just happens out of nowhere, I think the best characters are the porno droids and Korse, they were the only memorable characters for me, I forgot about everyone else, and I've read it like 3 times
@@Salem-cc1kk yeah i i kind of agree with that but im pretty sure that's what National Anthems' gonna tell us cause it has the back story of mike and i feel like that clears things up but im not sure.
@@pawcraft I'm just glad we are getting the story gerard wanted to tell in the first place, and he had all the time in the world to write it the way he wanted, so yeah I got my high hopes
The thing I love most about the umbrella academy is theme of family,it can always be dark and blleek but if you have your family by your side things may turn around.
Vanya is another character that they change in the show because she has so many more abilities she controls sound waves she can drain life she can give life her powers seem super broken she had enough power to destroy the moon like
Umbrella academy, both the show and comics, are criminally underrated. Imo, they’re some of the best modern day comics I’ve ever read Also, you didn’t mention Kraken’s biggest power, which is controlling the trajectory of objects
I loved the unbrella academy TV series. I never heard of the comics before? Can't wait for the next series? If the show don't get canceled in the meantime? In the series klaus is my favourite Cararacter.
Ok, just yesterday I was in my car asking a friend if they were watching UA because of a comic background. She said she wasn’t aware of one but just liked the show. Today, out of nowhere, a UA video appears in my TH-cam choices. I didn’t google UA. Trippy. Thanks for helping me understand the show!
What type of drugs do you have to be on to come up with this bizarre backstory?! I had to rewind a few times to confirm what I was hearing. Trippy indeed.
I can barely read I suffer from dyslexia this is the first comic book that I have ever read and laughed out loud at words I have fallen in love with reading comic book
Amazing Video as always. You explained so much of the stuff not mentioned in the show, and as someone who is slow to read the books, it cleared up a lot of info. Thanks!
At first I didn’t know about the umbrella academy but after seeing the white violin again I remember telling someone that the comic they were reading seemed cool and that brought me back because it was all the way when I was in 7th grade music class
Why didn't you guys make more on the Academy? I don't have the time or money to read or buy comics, so I totally depend on channels like this to keep me up-to-date on all the comics I love!
I guess the show didn't really hit home with rumors power then because she tells Vanya that she has no powers but it doesn't completely erase her powers because they're still there and she discovers them in her later life she just forgets that she has powers so they definitely tweaked her character same with number one where number one was injected with a serum that turned his body into an ape instead of his head being put on a body and for number two it seemed like they changed his character completely because he doesn't really ever hold his breath in the show instead he has the ability to curve anything like when a insane amount of bullets were fired at him and he stopped them all X-Men style and then curved them away from him
@KyodaiKen1979 because he does most of it. he locked Vanya in the soundproof room against the opinion of most of the family, he almost got Klaus back on drugs at the rave, and that's just off the top of my head.
This just blew my mind!!! All this time I thought Luther was the most useful because he didn't question Reggie and always did what he said, so he made Luther #1. But he ranked them by powers, duh! Thanks for that 🤦🏿♀️
This is my theory. Sir Reginald spread those yellow balls around the world. I think that’s what caused the 43 babies to be born and have powers. Vanya showed that she had them insisted her. Its most likely that every one of those 43 babies had those yellow balls in them.
I love that the comics feel like 3rd party story's written around actual events, like the xmen comics in the logan movie and the show is a more honest depiction of the characters less fantastical at least
Hey Arris, I am curious why you haven't further discussed and or brought on The Umbrella Academy since the 3rd season has ended and the suggestion is that a 4th us is underway? I am certainly liking the show, are you not? thanks
How could you not mention that Gerard Way was also the creator of Penny Parker aka SP II DR from the spider verse, or the lead singer of the immensely popular My Chemical Romance??
I can't believe I had never known of this. That show on Netflix is epic. Best thing I have seen in ages. And I do mean ages. Not all time travelers are fictitious.
Arris, there’s a lot of unrest going around within the MCU fan base community of who’s stronger, Thor or Captain Marvel... with the avengers endgame movie coming up maybe you can settle this question!! Keep up the awesome vids!
Wait... What about One/Space Boy's powers? You mentioned the powers he got from the whole life-saving Martian Ape body-switch procedure, but didn't detail any powers that were inherent to HIM (whether that means his ORIGINAL body, or just his head/mind/soul/whatever).
it's not literally the reality, but the parts of it like making someone do what contradicts to what they want to do. how could that possibly bring back a dead?
THATS WHAT I THOUGHT. Variant Comics didn’t mention that Allison says “i heard a rumor...” for her powers to manipulate reality. Some say her phase is to just help her control her powers. And that’s makes sense .
I really thought it was going to be a show with kids and them like evolving. Like why have Umbrella Academy as a pic of them being kids, but they’re full on adults . Still really good want season 2
I’m not sure if this happened in the comics but in the show I loved Diego’s relationship with their mom.
In the comics he and Vanya were a thing instead lol
Guess the Netflix execs thought one pair of incest was enough and cut it
@@MyCorrectOpinions as a thing do you mean....just sibling love orrrrr like luther and allison
@@MyCorrectOpinions they are not blood related tho
acording to hargreeves it's based on they're usefullness
Mr. Frenzy i meann adopted siblings are still siblings tho. i still find luther and allison’s relationship weird.
There's only one thing that bugs me about The Umbrella Academy:
Kraken is the name of someone who's not the guy with the tentacles.
Andynguyen04 wat??? When was that mentioned???

For real.

Hope s2 they will show their each own power / develop them more
Neither can I! Sorry everyone, you're gonna be awakened by intense screaming of joy on July 31st!
Lucky you the trailer just released

And when their first foe is eiffel tower
@@thevoidwalkerbr Lol. 😁👍
She’s the youngest of the group........they were born on the same day
I think youngest just means she was the last one to be adopted, plus she acts the youngest
@Haakon Bjrnstad I was always confused by that
The numbers are the power levels
@Haakon Bjrnstad
Didn't he number the kids by how useful they were to him?
There numbers are based on the millisecond they were born on
I can describe the umbrella academy in one word
Dysfunctional
lol
If you gave me 5 words, then they're the x-men but shitty.
The amount of people in these comments who didn't actually read the comics but are suddenly experts because they watched the show blows my mind....
I just recently caught up on them. What's your thoughts on the comics?
@@bbgunz1705 I really enjoyed the comics. I love how in-depth they are.

I just feel like...yeah, they nerfed the characters in the show but that’s ok and later on they’ll be more comic book accurate
BB Gunz170 it’s good but a lil to strange
I’m here because I’m looking to learn more. Since I can’t wait for season 2.
Klaus is literally Gerard Way As a comic book character
is it Marvel or DC
@@amankodimela8499 Dark Horse, dude. Marvel & DC is not the only comic book publishers in the world
@@adnvdn thanks
Y'all just ship Frerard.
Same though. Frerard is the reason I live.
b10awsome lmao yes
Best Netflix show ever
Not better then money heist
Ray Mak! Hello, again!
You watch everything I watch :0
It's my favorite second show but my first pick for Netflix original show is Daredevil
My Favourite Show on Netflix is Cobra Kai
fun fact: their number is also their power level from least to greatest (spaceboy is weakest and white violin is the most destructive)
I thought their number was their rank of how useful they were to Reginald hargreeves?
I feel like Five and Ben should switch places. Space warping seems like a much more useful ability than tentacles.
sad it would make no sense bc he always thought Diego was kinda useless so y make him number 2?
sad Ben is Number 6, implying that he was the second most useful of the children when he was alive and Five the third most.
sad Ben is number 6
Just gotta shout out to my brother for getting me into The Umbrella Academy comics and thanks to Gerard for his incredible writing!
Does anybody have a link to the apocalypse suite? i really want to get into it as well
Yes! Author appreciation up in this joint!!!
that intro hits different in 2020
Was looking for a comment mentioning this 😄
Was looking for a comment like this 😂
Lol so true
What up fellow woke people hahaha

I'm new to the Umbrella Academy so this was a big help. Thanks.
The thing I love most about the umbrella academy is theme of family,it can always be dark and blleek but if you have your family by your side things may turn around.
I just realized what season 3 is about they all go book series 😳
You said that space boy got his powers from his ape body, but what were his powers before that
Super strength and durability
Ticklish
Wydawg 48 that’s what I was gonna say
Wydawg 48 super strength
He already had super strength, but his ape body made him even stronger
Vanya is another character that they change in the show because she has so many more abilities she controls sound waves she can drain life she can give life her powers seem super broken she had enough power to destroy the moon like
They need to give Klaus and Diego all of their powers in the show
Diego already has the, klaus is said to get them. He will probably get telekinesis in season 2
I’ve not read the comics yet, but I’ve watched the show. From what I’ve heard, klaus would be far too overpowered.
Please talk more about Darkhorse comic character, like Hellboy,The Mask,X and many more!
"To get the band together to save the world"
Ha...ha...ha... **kills self**
Rip mcr
Umbrella academy, both the show and comics, are criminally underrated. Imo, they’re some of the best modern day comics I’ve ever read
Also, you didn’t mention Kraken’s biggest power, which is controlling the trajectory of objects
But you didn’t even mention that sir Reginald is an alien in disguise
Julien B true, but tbh that information is pretty irrelevant to the overall story so it makes sense why he left it out
Mexicanfire Productions yah but it’s an origin video, so yah it is relevant
Only stated outrgiht in the comics.
Chingiz Zhylkybayev yah I know, but this is an origin video, he literally talks about the comics.
It's in S2 btw.
I loved the unbrella academy TV series. I never heard of the comics before? Can't wait for the next series? If the show don't get canceled in the meantime? In the series klaus is my favourite Cararacter.
I think they should do a history of Alfred
Arris my man both a comic book and a wrestling fan knew I loved you for a reason
Ok, just yesterday I was in my car asking a friend if they were watching UA because of a comic background. She said she wasn’t aware of one but just liked the show.
Today, out of nowhere, a UA video appears in my TH-cam choices. I didn’t google UA.
Trippy.
Thanks for helping me understand the show!
I have came to the conclusion that this man is Manny Delgado from Modern Family in the future.
Watching this in late 2020 gives that intro a whole new meaning.
this is awesome
i just finished my own review on the show
and my next step is to comic binge on the series
Y’all this is about the books man. That’s why you’re seeing so many “inaccuracies”.
Sounds like xmen but British
MarvinTheArson Maybe because it’s inspired by Doom Patrol, Gerard Way (Author Of UA) is also working in DC’s Doom Patrol TV show.
amazing
Darby Webb ur on drugs if u think it’s better then x men
First MCR and now I’m finding out about The Umbrella Academy??? Man, Gerard Way really is a force to be reckoned with.
I'm very glad you did this episode. I appreciate you guys greatly. I just like to hear you guys talk comics. Thank you!
What type of drugs do you have to be on to come up with this bizarre backstory?! I had to rewind a few times to confirm what I was hearing. Trippy indeed.
Life is a hell of a drug… 😏
Keep in mind this whole story came from the mind of the lead singer of an emo punk band
Well, afaik Gerard Way had some cocaine back in the days.
Well Gerard way did make this so... *A lot*
I mean it is basically a Messiah story, not that original.
“Quarantine”
So are we now
Great job variant! Been here from the start. Keep it up!
I can barely read I suffer from dyslexia this is the first comic book that I have ever read and laughed out loud at words I have fallen in love with reading comic book
Whos hear after S2?
Me i unlocked 🔓 the briefcase 💼
Excellent show...even my mom binged watched it. I’ll need to dive into the comics but sounds like they stayed pretty true.
Amazing Video as always. You explained so much of the stuff not mentioned in the show, and as someone who is slow to read the books, it cleared up a lot of info. Thanks!

Me: "🤨"
Arris: " Comic books 😏"
Vanya's powers are great and all but I didn't like her character at all in the show.
Ellen longhead Page didn’t convince me as Vanya
The only reason she worked as Vanya is because we all feel sorry for Ellen Page in the first place. After Juno her career went south..
Jonnygami I hate her omg
Same but I think she got better around the end
You do know she may have mental illness
I'm gonna pick up the comic and from what he's talked about I'm thinking Klaus and the boy could be my favorite 😄😆.
Why didn't you guys make more on the Academy? I don't have the time or money to read or buy comics, so I totally depend on channels like this to keep me up-to-date on all the comics I love!
I’m so happy u made this as soon as I watched the show I searched the history up and I was disappointed that u didn’t make a video thank u

Super late to commenting on this, but man I loved this show! Just watched the show for a second time, so good!!!
So this means we get another 2 season of this great show!
This is the dark horse version of the xmen.
Just finished season 2 and never read the comic
But it seems the comics is WAY better than the show and will be checking this out
The show and comics are so weird but I love it
Can't wait for season 2 😁.
I adore Klaus (I also like 5 and Luther).
@KyodaiKen1979 because he does most of it. he locked Vanya in the soundproof room against the opinion of most of the family, he almost got Klaus back on drugs at the rave, and that's just off the top of my head.
A fellow Luther stan! Yaaaay.
The numbers they were given by Sir Reginald is how powerful/useful they are, 1 being less powerful and 7 being the most powerful
This just blew my mind!!! All this time I thought Luther was the most useful because he didn't question Reggie and always did what he said, so he made Luther #1. But he ranked them by powers, duh! Thanks for that 🤦🏿♀️
Soooo monocle is an alien? What were the yellow lights? Need more info please
This is my theory. Sir Reginald spread those yellow balls around the world. I think that’s what caused the 43 babies to be born and have powers. Vanya showed that she had them insisted her. Its most likely that every one of those 43 babies had those yellow balls in them.

Cool episode. The show was very different then I expected, but I did enjoy it.
Lemme find out Arris is a wrestling fan! You my friend just became even more awesome 🙌🏽
I'd don't know when I'll read the umbrella academy but I definitely plan too.
Who else is watching this when season 2 is out
Hey Arris, I am curious why you haven't further discussed and or brought on The Umbrella Academy since the 3rd season has ended and the suggestion is that a 4th us is underway? I am certainly liking the show, are you not? thanks
I hope season 2 will make them develop their powers. Kinda hoped that Number one’s strength was really demonstrated.
Congrats to the winners of the contest. Great video per usual.
0:16 I WAS QUARANTINED
The show is great! I never knew it was a comic first...
Take a shot of rum every time the word "umbrella" is said throughout the video.
Wel im dead maybe Klaus can help me
I watched Umbrella Academy so amazing! Please feature the new Marvel superhero Wave, Aero & Etc.
I would say this series is the most *BIZARRE* thing I’ve come across, but I’d be lying
Is that MFING JoJo's reference?!
Who knows, may-[KING CRIMSON]-ot
Legion.
I can't wait for the other kids to show up!
Can you please give a full run down of Locke and Key???
why netflix they ruined the comics? the comic is so good im i the only one that feel this way?
Allison:I heard a rumor that I was real. Oh wait. I have a show. 🙄!!!!!!!!
Gen Lock looks a lot like Gundam. Umbrella Academy seem like cool comics to read and own
I loved the first season of the show on Netflix, and i really do want to get into the series now :)
so he wrote this comic since his MCR days??? wow, what a really busy man!
So season 3 will be hotel oblivion? Since the team came back to a alternate universe and all
How could you not mention that Gerard Way was also the creator of Penny Parker aka SP II DR from the spider verse, or the lead singer of the immensely popular My Chemical Romance??
It's peni
Maybe because he's giving him the respect he deserves as a comic book writer separate from him being pinned as MCR's lead singer who also did this?
It's irrelevant to the history of UMBRELLA ACADEMY
we know the history of gerard way as a musician.
He did. In a brief video of Peni Parker, around the time Into the Spider Verse came out. He mentioned it there.😄
I’d love to see a history of Two-Face!
Also, if there were 43 births, what happened to the other 36?
Did they have powers or did Hargreaves GIVE THEM powers?
They have powers too!
Every one of those 43 babies have powers. Sir Reginald could only adapt 7. The other 36 are most likely living normal lives with their real parents.
I can't believe I had never known of this. That show on Netflix is epic. Best thing I have seen in ages. And I do mean ages. Not all time travelers are fictitious.
..technically. Kinda have to be unrealized to pull it off.
Love the shout out to the phenomenal AJ Styles man
I'd totally read the comic but I can't seem to find it anywhere 😤.
@Last Earthbender I know and the art work looks really unique 😢😄.
I loveddddd this show but wasnt familiar with the comic it was based on at all so glad you uploaded this. Keep the videos coming🖤
The rumour could make Ben alive again I heard a rumour Ben is still alive
Did you watch season 2 yet
Cuz I don’t want to spoil it by saying he not
Or is
Arris, there’s a lot of unrest going around within the MCU fan base community of who’s stronger, Thor or Captain Marvel... with the avengers endgame movie coming up maybe you can settle this question!! Keep up the awesome vids!
47 I thought it was 43 born on that day?
@Krazzy Panda212 Um if you actually read the comics in volume 1 the Apocalypse Suite it literally says 43 children! Read it or look it up!
@Krazzy Panda212 Did you look it up? Am i wrong?
It does forty three.....
That intro is believable now 😂
Klaus is just amazing
just finished season 2 , god i love the show, will have to read the comics!
Wait... What about One/Space Boy's powers? You mentioned the powers he got from the whole life-saving Martian Ape body-switch procedure, but didn't detail any powers that were inherent to HIM (whether that means his ORIGINAL body, or just his head/mind/soul/whatever).
seriously loving VRV
If number 3 can alter reality why doesn’t she bring back 6
it's not literally the reality, but the parts of it like making someone do what contradicts to what they want to do. how could that possibly bring back a dead?
THATS WHAT I THOUGHT. Variant Comics didn’t mention that Allison says “i heard a rumor...” for her powers to manipulate reality. Some say her phase is to just help her control her powers. And that’s makes sense .
Also in the show she can only manipulate people not reality
Super Sean but the show isn’t source,the comic is
She can change reality.like in the comics saying”your heads gone”and then his head explodes.
You need to do a history of the sparrow academy
I never know the Umbrella Academy had it own comic
I really thought it was going to be a show with kids and them like evolving. Like why have Umbrella Academy as a pic of them being kids, but they’re full on adults . Still really good want season 2
