all the other foster siblings tried to be good to each other, despite their trauma. Luther did not. He felt he needed to be the unquestionable leader still. and made awful decisions. The only one who he cared for and listened to is the person he wanted to fuck. So yeah. My cold shoulder towards Luther is completely justified. If you donât agree thatâs fine. Untill season two changes my opinions, Iâm not here for him as much as i am for the other 6.
And even tho he really wanted to fuck Allison, the moment she disagreed with him, her opinion stopped mattering and he still did what he wanted to because heâs Number One. So yeah.
when everybody who died in tua looks exactly like they did before/while they died somebody tell me why ben doesnât? in the scene with klaus and all the people cha-cha and hazel killed we clearly see that they all look like how there were killed and dave does too so why did ben grew up and all?
Maybe itâs because heâs been with Klaus longer? The other ghosts were just ghosts he met that day, Ben has probably been with him since he died. Maybe itâs something Klaus is doing subconsciously?
i usually chalk it up to him being a hargreeves/probably having different genetics than other people. therefore the rules donât apply to him. idk though.
Luther Hargreeves is a Grade A Asshole. I consider Luther Hargreeves an asshole based off how he treats his siblings. In general, Luther is particularly disrespectful towards three of his siblings: Vanya, Klaus, and Allison. The way he treats others is probably partially based due to years of solitude, and therefore a lack of practice when it comes to social interaction, yet even in flashbacks, Luther does not appear to be very respectful. Due to all of these reasons, I strongly dislike him as a character.
Luther Hargreeves is constantly shown as not only disrespectful to Vanya, but cruel to the point where he physically harms her. In flashbacks, he is displayed as unkind and exclusive, but no less unkind towards her than the others are, at least based off what weâve been shown. However, throughout the first seasonâs timeline, he manages to easily surpass his siblings when it comes to cruelty towards Vanya. After Vanyaâs powers are explained to him, his first instinct is to lock her up, to treat her as he would a monster. He does not take her trauma into consideration, doesnât stop to think about the effects that not taking the emotion-numbing drug might have on her mind and her control over her powers. He doesnât stop to consider how little control she had over her powers before her memory was wiped of them, and therefore wiped of whatever control she had learned. He never once considers what sheâs been through throughout the past week- her father dying, reuniting with her siblings, Five returning, discovering her powers, being trapped in a manipulative and toxic relationship- and how that might affect her emotions. He doesnât think about what childhood trauma she might have revolving around the cage, despite it being safe to assume that Pogo and Allison mustâve explained the time she spent there. After she causes the apocalypse, when they are preparing to travel back into the past, he is more than willing to leave Vanya, his sister, behind. To leave her to die. Throughout the entire season he is disrespectful and dismissive of her, even before their relationship verges on abusive, which it does. He takes advantage of her at a vulnerable moment, and uses his powers to suffocate her until she passes out- I wouldnât be surprised if she thought he was going to kill her, because for a brief moment, thatâs what I believed myself.
As much as I wish I could say Vanya is the only Hargreeves sibling who receives horrible mistreatment from Luther, that would be false. Klaus Hargreeves is also treated quite cruelly by âSpaceboyâ. Luther consistently discredits Klausâs opinions and ideas, seemingly having decided that because heâs an addict, nothing he says is worth hearing out. Luther constantly invalidates Klaus for doing drugs, and then later on, mocks Klaus for attempting to get clean. This is especially disgusting because he knows enough about why Klaus began doing drugs that he ought to be much more empathetic. Also, when Klaus finds him in the episode titled, âThe Day That Was,â he asks Klaus for drugs, after an entire season of shaming and mocking Klaus for doing drugs. He also implies that drugs make Klaus âhappyâ and âcarefreeâ despite knowing, as previously mentioned, that Klausâs entire experience with drugs is stemmed from a childhood trauma. By asking Klaus for drugs, he is continuing to discredit Klausâs efforts towards sobriety, by implying that he believes Klaus has drugs on him, and is therefore no longer clean. When Klaus finds him at the club, he offers him ecstasy, despite being fully aware that Klaus is attempting to stay clean, and that tempting him with a pill like that is incredibly toxic and unfair to his brother. When Klaus dies, Luther takes no notice, instead choosing to preoccupy himself with a girl versus his dead brother. While this could be explained by him being under the influence, I still believe that he ought to have noticed his brother. The drug appeared to make him more reckless and carefree- not less aware of his surroundings. Yet Klausâs death had no affect on him.
While it is true that in many ways, Allison was the only character Luther treated with respect (which most likely has something to do with the fact that he wanted to sleep with her), there are in fact many times that he treated her with complete and utter disrespect. Every single suggestion she made he shot down, despite all of them making logical sense, and probably wouldâve worked much better than what he came up with. When she asked him to let Vanya out of the cage, to treat er like their sister instead of a monster that needed to be quarantined, he ignored her, opting to physically block her from trying to protect her sister. This resulted him Vanyaâs emotions getting out of control due to severe PTSD, and her destroying their childhood home, and killing both Pogo and Grace. At the violin recital, Allison asked to go see Vanya alone. Luther agreed- and than double-crossed her, bursting in just when it seemed like Allisonâs plan was starting to work. When he asked if everyone agreed of surrounding and attacking Vanya, he completely disregarded Allisonâs frantic disapproval. While at a first glance, it might appear that Luther holds respect for Allison, upon closer inspection it appears that he cares far more about how high her opinion of him is than he does her. One could explain his unwillingness to listen to othersâs opinions on the four years he spent on his own, having to listen to no oneâs opinion than his own, but his brother, Five, spent around forty five years alone in the apocalypse, and is still more respectful of othersâs opinions than Luther. Admittedly, he acts confident in his plans, but thatâs based off of years of research, whereas Lutherâs is merely based off a whim.
These are only three of the many characters that Luther is seen treated unkindly within just a mere ten episodes, but I feel that his treatment of these three characters widely captures the way he treats others- disrespectful to the point of immense cruelty unless he wants something from them. This evidence summarizes the majority of his characterization in the Netflix adaptation, and serves as an explanation as to why so many dislike his character as strongly as they do.

Mysterious babies? Adopt them all. They have powers? Train them to be superheroes cuz why not.
Sons dying? Make him a gorilla. Need a Butler? Just use a super intelligent monkey. Other sons scared of ghosts? Lock him in the mausoleum. Daughter loses control of powers once? Lock her up and then drug her for the rest of her life until she explodes and destroys the world.
Want a family reunion? Kills himself.
Reggie, listen, just because an idea comes into your head doesnât mean you need to do it. Donât be afraid to brainstorm. Get a committee on it.

Five is the first to notice the way Vanya looks at Ben. Her gaze is guilty, apologetic, heartbroken. Heâs not sure of the exact circumstances of the latterâs death, but he canât imagine that Vanya wouldâve had anything to do with it. Not while she was on the pills that numbed every emotion she might feel, good or bad. Not while she was still hidden away in the academy, convinced she was ordinary.
First, he turned to Klaus, who offered no help beyond a guilty shrug and a hasty, âI dunno, she destroyed the world, Iâd be acting a little weird too, wouldnât you?â
Five wouldnât be.Â
So he asks the others one by one, and they all respond with variations of the same answer, always delivered guiltily, none of them meeting his eyes.
So he asks Ben. Ben frowns, shrugging, lost in thought. Then, his eyes widen, and Five leans forward, frowning. âWhat? What is it?â
âWell- On my funeral, Klaus said- he was high, you know, he didnât mean it-â
âWhatâd he say?â
âHe said- he said she shouldâve died instead of me.â
âHe said what?â Fiveâs face darkens, and he drums his fingers against the arm of the chair, forcing himself to keep quiet, so that Reginald doesnât hear them, doesnât realize somethingâs amiss. Breathing heavily, he closes his eyes for half a second, before allowing himself to look back at Ben. âAnd the others? Did they say the same?â
Ben shrugs, frowning. âI donât know, Iâm- I was tied to Klaus.â
Five sighs. âRight, Iâll figure it out. Can you tell him and Vanya that weâre having a family meeting in my room tonight? Around midnight so weâre sure the old man is asleep.â
Ben nods, clapping Five on the back as he starts to leave. âSure thing. Youâre a good brother, Five, you know that?â
Five shrugs. âShe deserves better, thatâs all.â
Ben nods, grinning. âYeah, like I said. Good brother. Better than the rest of us, anyway.â
He leaves the room, and Five leans back, eyebrows furrowed together as he considers how best to go about this.
This time, itâs Allison he asks first, because he knows she will be the first to open up, to admit to what sheâd done.
Theyâre alone in the library, while the others train. He leans back in an oversized armchair, frowning. She sits opposite him, pretending to pore over a book he knows she has no interest in.
âSo you told Vanya you wished she was dead.â His voice is deadly quiet.
Her head snaps up, eyes widened. âHow do you-â
âLucky guess.â
âI was- she was leaving and I just-â
âIâm not really interested in hearing your excuses Allison. Besides, Iâm not the one you need to tell them to. Family meeting at midnight tonight, my room. Donât be late.â
And with that heâs gone, leaving Allisonâs mouth agape, guilt pooling in her stomach.
He reappears on Diegoâs bed, sitting silently as he watches his brother throw knives, each one hitting dead center.
âReal men throw knives, right?â He says, smiling coldly as Diego jumps, whirling around. âIâm pretty sure they donât tell their sister they wish she was dead, though, so I guess you canât call yourself a real man.â
âJesus, Five, donât do that.â Diego says weakly, frowning.
âThen donât say shit like that to Vanya.â
âThat was ages ago, how do you even-â
âI have my ways.â Five smiles thinly. âAnd just because it was ages ago-â
âDoesnât mean itâs okay, yeah, yeah, I know. But how am I supposed to apologize for that? I donât even know if she-â
âRemembers? She does. Family meeting tonight, my room, around midnight.â
And then heâs gone again, reappearing in Lutherâs room with a grim smile. Luther jumps up, eyes wide. âWhatâs happening? Did Vanya hu-â
âSheâs not a monster, monkey boy.â Five bites out, forcing himself to keep his anger in check.
âShe caused the apocalypse, Five!â
âAnd whose fault was that?â And okay, so maybe heâs given up on keeping his anger in check. â
âHers!â Luther rolls his eyes, hands clenched into fists.
âNo, Luther, it wasnât her fault. It was ours. Ours and dear old dadâs. Out of all of us though, I think you deserve the most blame.â
âMe? I didnât do anything!â
Five laughs. He laughs and he laughs until heâs doubled over. Finally, he manages to retain control of his breathing, and he glances back up at Luther. âFunniest joke Iâve heard in awhile, big guy. Thanks for that. Youâd be surprised how little humor their is to find in the apocalypse.â
âI wasnât joking,â Luther snarls.
âOh, okay. You call locking our sister in a cage nothing? She came to apologize and you suffocated her and then threw her into a cage. A cage that, by the way, sheâd been sent to for a long period of time as a child. You faulted her for being unused to a power that she didnât know she had. That she was drugged into being unable to use. God, she was drugged into not even having fucking emotions and you used that as an excuse to attack her? To lock her in a confined space when she has PTSD from being locked there as a child? And before we left, you were more than willing to leave her to die. Which I suppose came as no surprise to her, since you already told her you wished sheâd died instead of Ben, which, by the way, he does not approve of. And if you want to name one time you listened to any of us, Iâm all ears, because frankly, I canât think of any. Not before I left, not since I got back. I get it, youâre Number One, you have a weird hero complex, you want to lead. But Luther, weâre a team. That means we listen to each other. Just because you and the old man have decided youâre our leader, the rest of our opinions donât matter? Thatâs bullshit. Weâre your siblings, not mindless soldiers who follow your every order. If we want to stop the apocalypse, itâs time to start acting like it. Which means you listen to all of us, including Vanya. Got it?â
Luther sits back on his bed, stunned. âUh, yeah.â
âGood. Family meeting at midnight in my room tonight. You can start practicing listening then, big guy.â
And then he was gone again, off to who knows where, his siblings left to ponder regrets of the past.
