THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY

Similar to other comic adaptations I saw this as well, honestly I have not read the comics but I did my fair share of research before watching the show and I wasn’t disappointed with it. I mean they did a good job and tried to make it as much authentic to the comics they could. As I speculated that the “ranking” was in the reversed order of their powers and that was it, well watching too many mystery shows and movies give you a fair idea of what might happen in the show and I did predict how the end would happen, the apocalypse not exactly but who would be the reason behind it.

#1 Luther (The Spaceboy)- I HATED HIM. Just the worst of the siblings. You think you are better than all of your sibling because you listened to you so called father?? No you are not practically you are the worst. They all left the house when it was time because that is what you do when you grow up, move on. You keep sulking about that how he sent you to the moon, overlooking the the fact that he literally tortured every single of your siblings. This character got on my nerves to an extent even I can’t describe. The character depiction was amazing thought, it was the character that was complex and narcissistic and the fact that people hate the character with so much emotions is that it was portrayed perfectly. Still hate him.

#2 Diego (The Kraken)- Okay not my favourite but not the worst either. I honestly thing he was the most “normal” of all the siblings on an emotional level, sure they all had problems but he actually dealt with them like an adult. He called out Luther for his bullshit and supported and took care of Klaus in a way that mattered and not just money, He had to work and earn like a normal person and had friends, because it was just him who had friends amongst everyone. His reaction to his mom was something I totally agree with, even if she was a peice of technology she was more of a parent to those kids than their father ever was. And seeing him loose her broke my heart.

#3 Allison (The Rumor)- Not the worst but in the bottom two for me atleast. She tried to be a caring sister to Vanya but it’s not that she was before, this is all because now she realizes how she must feel because she is away from her loved ones too. She is kind of a manipulative bitch character who you don’t completely hate but is just plain bad writing. And if we talk about her powers its simple mind control I think. She can compel anyone to do anything against their will, it may good to use on your enemies but you always get greedy with great power and she did even after promising her husband that she wouldn’t. And her relationship with Luther, was like what the hell?? Who cares you guys are adopted you are still siblings and it’s just so wrong. I think it’s because of the growing “trend” to use incestous characters. That’s the worst relationship in the show and we had a boy with a mannequin.Yes Allison did pay up for the rehab for Klaus a few time but that does not change the fact that there has to be a profound bond and it’s not just about the money you spend on someone to show them you love, you actually have to show your bloody emotions.

#4 Klaus (The Seance)- My and probably many people’s favourite character, for me it’s because I can relate to him on a certain level that he chose the easy path of drugs instead the more difficult one because no matter what anyone says it actually hurts alot to be able too even think about your loved ones and baby boy could see them and have an actual conversation with them not just hallucinations. The part were their father use to lock him up in a mausoleum just so he could overcome his fear was one of the many reasons for his toxic parenting. He fucked up all his kids in all sort of different ways but i guess the higher their numbers get the higher they were “tortured”by their tyrunt of a father, he gave competition to Thanos for the worst adoptive father. I loved the fact that somehow he found love in dave but even that was taken away from him. One of the best sibling relationships amongst these was Klaus and Diego, how he took care of him while listening him to whine all the damn time. He showed alot of courage in the later episodes, I mean c’mon he literally died and even then his shit of a father was there insulting him instead of comforting him. Klaus (number 4) Hargreeves deserves way better.

#5 Number 5 - He was the only one who didn’t even want a name and that says something about a 10 year old child’s mental health and one more reason how cruel their father was that he didn’t even want to associate with that man. Yes he suffered alot because of a tantrum he threw as a child and not having a supporting parent in the household, clearly shows how much a lack of opportunity or encouragement means to a growing child. That is something I can vouch for personally because I have been through that and it is devastating that when you tell your parent about a dream you have and they don’t take you seriously and ignore you. Although my wish wasn’t to travel in space and time but all have our own things and he had his own, he made mistake and he did suffer for it and too alone, do you know how hard it is to live alone in this age of technology and connectivity and he lived all alone in a post apocalyptic world with a freaking mannequin, no wonder he got so hard and defensive, living like that can affect anyone and I don’t blame him at all for taking the only chance he got to get back to his family to do anything it takes to be with them, don’t tell me you don’t take the opportunity after you live 35 years alone in a world with no knowledge of how to get back or any other living person. He might show he didn’t care about his sibling but he would kill for them and we all know that very well. Don’t know what kind of relationship he had with Vanya before running of but how he trusted her and opened up to her after he came back tells me that he was actually nice to vanya than others, and Vanya did say she kept the lights on all the time for him hoping he might come and she didn’t want him to be scared of the dark when he comes back says something about their relationship, I am not saying that he wasn’t cruel to her as we saw the flashbacks that even klaus was mean to her a little bit can you literally blame the kids for that because no matter what you see what you do and they saw how cruel and cold and distant Reginald was with her and all they thought the same and c’mon they were kids the only person to blame was their father for everything. He had a hard time an dhe was trying to do everything he can to prevent that from happening again. This is the only show that didn’t give a crap about mixed timelines or anything, he wanted to save the world and w tried everything he could to that and honestly for the first time it was good to see that way. Well as i said before how the higher the number the stronger the power and it proved true when in the end he made a portal that could transform his siblings and got ben back from the dead too.We can only see his powers grow.

#6 Ben (The Horror)- we didn’t get much about him on the show because he was deceased. All we saw him was in the flashbacks and when Klaus conjures him, he is the purest of all the siblings maybe because he didn’t have to put up with the shit they had to go through when they become adults. Judging from his statue he died young and was very powerful too. His powers were something to do with a tentacle monster from a different dimension who he could conjure in his stomach. Kinda weird but if it wasn’t a powerful tool. We saw that he was actually sacred to use his powers and didn’t use it unless it was the last resort the whole team had and he felt bad about it. He was a good more like the best sibling to Klaus and their banters were honestly one of the best part of the whole damn show. The fact that he knew that Klaus needed hima nd no matter how much drugs he took ben fought throw it and stayed with him as his voice of reason. And for him to come back in the final episode to help all his siblings when they were all cornered was a defining moment and was a smack in everyone of their siblings who didn’t believe in klaus or him. I am glad that he is back, would like see more of him and that we would explore his powers as he was ranked the second most highest amongst the siblings.

#7 Vanya Hargreeves - Hands down the most powerful character, i mean she started the apocalypse. Someone like me must have guessed from the start that she has powers or is the most powerful and there was something their shit of father had something to do with it. But there is the one time I liked him was because he gave vanya the violin and the smile he had , had me thinking that he actually cared for one of his kids but it was just that he was scared of her. Having a father you says you are the most ordinary hurts no matter what you do and honestly that she lashed like that was understandable. Everything she did was just perfect for me, her reaction to everything was how it should have been. The only part i hated wa show she trusted luther and that asshole of a brother locked her up despite every single sibling of his was yelling at him to get her out of the prison and she wouldn’t have done anything if they actually talked instead of locking her up. She was the most human character in the show and how she embraced her powers at the end and became the white violin is honestly worth the whole show. And at the end them talking was the only thing that got them threw.

All in all a I liked the show and would want another season of it, just less of Luther because he sucked as a leader and as a sibling too.
