Men’s reaction to Six is honestly such a perfect example of entitled male privilege and how unused men are to being told no. Here we have this one musical, with literally just six characters (no ensemble, no supporting characters) that is completely off-limits to men. Men are being told that this one show amongst hundreds is not for them, and their reaction is to twist themselves in knots trying to come up with a reason as to why they could be in it and claiming discrimination because this one single show is exclusively for women and nonbinary people.

Has this been done before?

[phoenixes-and-wizards]

the fact that 2X10 starts with teenage diego coldly pushing vanya away at ben’s funeral and ending with him finally accepting the love and comfort she has tried to provide ever since they were children is just poetic cinema in it’s finest form and no i will not be accepting criticisms

Five at a family meeting: Alright, listen up, you little shits.

Five, softer: Not you, Vanya, you're an angel and we're glad you're here.

In its own special way, The Umbrella Academy subverts the secret identity trope in that Sir Reginald literally raises the protagonists as their superhero identities, assigning them exclusively superhero-esque aliases from birth and stripping them of the opportunity to develop their own “civilian”/true identity. As a result of this suppression, their struggles as young “superheroes” differ from the crises of their traditional counterparts, in that they don’t struggle to hide a secret identity, but rather, they don’t have an identity outside of the one their father uses to fulfill his own agenda — or at best, their individuality is stunted and tied to an unhealthy coping mechanism and sibling dynamics. The subversion of the secret identity trope thus leads to the subversion of another trope: that of the superhero origin story. Unlike Spider-Man or Batman, the Umbrella Academy kids are not civilians that decided to become heroes due to a personal tragedy; instead, their childhood career as forced superheroes is the tragedy, causing most of them to pursue a civilian life as soon as they are able to. Only after the death of their father do they come back together, and even then, their past causes the conflict that they must solve as adults. In this essay I will

can we just appreciate the fact that diego literally went from straight-up loathing vanya and insulting her to her face to: 

getting mad because he’s worried for her after hazel and cha-cha attack the mansion in 1X03 and she gets hurt

arguing with luther for her sake after their brother locks her away 

literally being struck speechless by the sight of her playing the violin so well during her concert

agreeing to take vanya back to the past with them because he knows it’s his duty as her big brother to stick by her no matter what

acknowledging the fact that her apology means something to him with no fuss whatsoever the next time they see each other in the 1960s

fighting tooth and nail to get to her after her meltdown at the FBI headquarters, not only because she’s going to cause doomsday yet again, but also because he’s worried sick about her

gently telling her that her problems concerning sissy and harlan are valid, it’s just that they’ve got bigger things to worry about right now 

being genuinely sorry that he can’t help her out

having her back just when she thinks she’s gonna have to do everything by herself again

and finally, letting her rest against him–and he against her–at the end of what has obviously been a physically and emotionally draining day for all of them, i mean c’mon guys the character development of their sibling bond is just unparalleled
