[taiturner]

You and your father. Both so headstrong.

[sunriseseance]

I think I get it. Like I can see what the writers were thinking? The siblings always chose each other over the world, saving and loving each other and trying to save everything on another day. And I think they mistook that for selfishness, and they wanted to subvert that. And, crucially, I think they were wrong. I think they sort of thought they were writing a show about power, and about people who had power that did not deserve it, and how that power hurts the world and cannot and does not deserve to exist, and controversially I think that would be super compelling if it was accurate. But it's not! The Umbrella Academy was about being a person who cares while being a person who experienced terrible things and also wanted to do better. It was about family and love and growth and, yeah, abuse. So ending it with "they should never have existed" reads as "abused people are fundamentally broken and should kill themselves" and I can see that they probably did not want to say that, but they DID say that, and it just makes me kinda sad. Anyways 6/10 I loved Klaus and Allison's whole thing until they both killed themselves I guess.

[paperpocalypse]

hm. that was interesting.

there’s a post i need to reblog that i read before watching the season that explains it much better than i can, but i will say that the ending was such a letdown. maybe it would have better if we had more episodes to spread everything out, but that wasn’t the only problem. i thought the beginning was actually okay but then it just started falling apart with the characterization, the unnecessary and poorly resolved side plot lines, the way they completely dropped the ball on portraying ben and jennifer’s fate and the message that the family’s sacrifice sends. i’m just really disappointed :(

[paperpocalypse]

always love a good “white people playing card games” scene

[paperpocalypse]

bruh gene ??? or is it jean ???

[paperpocalypse]

ok don’t block me but i liked seeing where each sibling ended up. it’s a nice callback to s1

[paperpocalypse]

toxic manager from alvin and the chipmunks i love your work

and jennifer ???

[paperpocalypse]

i’m gonna be honest, i actually liked ep. 1. but i also missed them so much and their family chemistry is so good ! just gonna ignore that five and lila foreshadowing 😌

[paperpocalypse]

ep. 2 – so is luther’s powers increased agility as well as strength ? or just like human physicality at its peak ? i forgot lol

[paperpocalypse]

not ben calling everyone ELSE emo lol

[paperpocalypse]

ok the baby shark thing was a little much—ok they’re puking now. who thought that was a good idea

[paperpocalypse]

i like jennifer (assuming that diner owner is jennifer) but it doesn’t really make much sense for her to suddenly run away with ben. one line about once wanting to leave and a tiny bit of personal relatability didn’t really build the chemistry enough between them that would overpower her trust in her uncle imo

[paperpocalypse]

ohh there’s the santa 👍 always fun with the whole town is out to get you trope and getting to see their powers in action. it’s kinda sad how they nuked luther’s character though and just straight up brushed aside sloane ??

but we did see a little peek of the og ben when they praised him in the van and that was a bright spot :)

at this point i’m gonna assume ep. 1 was the best episode for this season. the thing with five and lila is already weirding me out (and with five he’s seeming a lot more mellow in general which i guess can make sense if you want it to but also i don’t know if he would be that … complacent ?? in this new timeline after everything he’s experienced ?) and depending on how the rest goes i can kinda see how the writing can unravel. but also i’m just a third of the way through so

[paperpocalypse]

ooh klaus and allison fight. i wonder if klaus was reminded of his relationship with ghost ben when he was brought back

[paperpocalypse]

the original apocalypse timeline …

[paperpocalypse]

so we see the violin that basically defined viktor during his childhood being played by the original owner and get no closeup shot of viktor’s reaction ? ok 😔

[paperpocalypse]

reginald still the same as he’s always been lol. i don’t buy his wife’s attitude tho

[paperpocalypse]

there’s the dance scene. gene and jean but no siblings in sight :(

[paperpocalypse]

ep. 3 done !! gonna watch the rest later. i think – so far – it’s okay, mostly because of the actors and the way they portray it. however i think that since this is more plot-focused on the jennifer incident and the timeline stuff, it kind of takes away from the characters ? like with s1 the plot and the characters’ arcs were so tightly intertwined, and here they kind of feel like more separate things. allison and klaus are my faves in these episodes. unfortunately the rest of the siblings feel more flattened :( the peak sibling moments are enjoyable and i think the jennifer incident with ben and jennifer in general will be interesting – actually i really like the concept that ben is at the center in the final season because his death was considered the “breaking point” of the umbrella academy. we’ll see how the execution goes though, there are several loose ends from s3 that bother me and again the characterization is a bit iffy even with the explanation of a time skip. the writing’s not as neat as i’d like it to be but it is what it is

it’s easier to watch than s3 though. good or bad thing i dunno haha

[paperpocalypse]

ok last three episodes !! ahhh the young umbrella cast :’)

[paperpocalypse]

WHAT

[paperpocalypse]

this dialogue between ben and jennifer in the motel is not it 😭 just throw all the romance away besides gene and jean we don’t need it 😭

[paperpocalypse]

klaus being buried alive. lots of callbacks to his past trauma here. execution … hm i dunno

also why is there so much puking in this season

[paperpocalypse]

diego and luther honeys i’m so sorry that you’re being reduced to gimmicks you are so much more than that

[paperpocalypse]

wow i mean props to allison for busting his balls but i didn’t need to see it in 4k :)

[paperpocalypse]

no spare tender hearted music five that is your BROTHER’S WIFE who has THREE KIDS with your BROTHER. your idea of domestic bliss is sitting on a park bench feeding ducks and playing begrudging surrogate grandpa to nosy preschoolers this is NOT IT

[paperpocalypse]

okay diego and luther team up for a cia fight scene with secret agent man in the background, i’m okay with that :)

[paperpocalypse]

there’s something kinda poetic about allison shoveling through the dirt to get to klaus while klaus punches his way through the coffin. i do love these two as a pair

[paperpocalypse]

i want to scream actually. you’re telling me that FIVE. the same guy who was stuck in the apocalypse for 45 years, spent the last three seasons trying to prevent it, and whose ENTIRE MOTIVATION is to save his family. would find a journal detailing how to get back to said family and hide it away for FIVE MONTHS to play house with lila because he doesn’t like the timeline they were in. like look we know he’s tired of having to fix things and that he deserves a break but not like this ?? he isn’t the type to sit back and pretend everything’s okay when he knows his family is in trouble no matter what timeline they’re in

it’s a huge disservice to lila and the struggle she’s been going through this season as well. like they made a whole thing about her having a hard time adjusting to domestic life and then they put her in this domestic situation being completely fine and oblivious ? i ??

[paperpocalypse]

the bald guy was reggie’s wife ?? hooweee okayyy probably shouldn’t be surprised but i am

she’s wearing him as a suit ahhhhg

[paperpocalypse]

last episode !!!! points for playing muse ig, let’s get this thing done

[paperpocalypse]

aww brother bonding. diego’s family with lila is so cute

[paperpocalypse]

ooh that cleanse thing is. nasty

[paperpocalypse]

diego i am so sorry. this is not the kind of family drama that was wanted or needed and why is this happening in the very last episode

[paperpocalypse]

the five/lila/diego confrontation happening in the last episode is the reason five and diego choose to fight over her while their brother is melded to jennifer in some weird monster blob and about to end the world. nice way to tie this up.

[paperpocalypse]

this is the most underwhelming boss fight i’ve ever seen. where’s the flow. the focus. the tension. the angst

[paperpocalypse]

sorry i’m a bit confused about abigail’s motivation to unleash the cleanse ? to restore the timeline ? i forgot what the cleanse was haha but i think that what it is ? could they literally not think of any other way

also i don’t need a sad montage of five thinking about lila on the subway

[paperpocalypse]

they did it. the timelines are erasing and i’m a little emotional about it. of course they’d play i think we’re alone now. jerks

[paperpocalypse]

AGNES AND HAZEL

why is grace still alive and young looking in 2024

ah. the marigolds at the end.

[paperpocalypse]

always love a good “white people playing card games” scene

[paperpocalypse]

bruh gene ??? or is it jean ???

[paperpocalypse]

i like jennifer (assuming that diner owner is jennifer) but it doesn’t really make much sense for her to suddenly run away with ben. one line about once wanting to leave and a tiny bit of personal relatability didn’t really build the chemistry enough between them that would overpower her trust in her uncle imo

[paperpocalypse]

ohh there’s the santa 👍 always fun with the whole town is out to get you trope and getting to see their powers in action. it’s kinda sad how they nuked luther’s character though and just straight up brushed aside sloane ??

but we did see a little peek of the og ben when they praised him in the van and that was a bright spot :)

at this point i’m gonna assume ep. 1 was the best episode for this season. the thing with five and lila is already weirding me out (and with five he’s seeming a lot more mellow in general which i guess can make sense if you want it to but also i don’t know if he would be that … complacent ?? in this new timeline after everything he’s experienced ?) and depending on how the rest goes i can kinda see how the writing can unravel. but also i’m just a third of the way through so

[paperpocalypse]

ooh klaus and allison fight. i wonder if klaus was reminded of his relationship with ghost ben when he was brought back

[paperpocalypse]

the original apocalypse timeline …

[paperpocalypse]

so we see the violin that basically defined viktor during his childhood being played by the original owner and get no closeup shot of viktor’s reaction ? ok 😔

[paperpocalypse]

reginald still the same as he’s always been lol. i don’t buy his wife’s attitude tho

[paperpocalypse]

there’s the dance scene. gene and jean but no siblings in sight :(

[paperpocalypse]

ep. 3 done !! gonna watch the rest later. i think – so far – it’s okay, mostly because of the actors and the way they portray it. however i think that since this is more plot-focused on the jennifer incident and the timeline stuff, it kind of takes away from the characters ? like with s1 the plot and the characters’ arcs were so tightly intertwined, and here they kind of feel like more separate things. allison and klaus are my faves in these episodes. unfortunately the rest of the siblings feel more flattened :( the peak sibling moments are enjoyable and i think the jennifer incident with ben and jennifer in general will be interesting – actually i really like the concept that ben is at the center in the final season because his death was considered the “breaking point” of the umbrella academy. we’ll see how the execution goes though, there are several loose ends from s3 that bother me and again the characterization is a bit iffy even with the explanation of a time skip. the writing’s not as neat as i’d like it to be but it is what it is

it’s easier to watch than s3 though. good or bad thing i dunno haha

[paperpocalypse]

ok last three episodes !! ahhh the young umbrella cast :’)

[paperpocalypse]

WHAT

[paperpocalypse]

this dialogue between ben and jennifer in the motel is not it 😭 just throw all the romance away besides gene and jean we don’t need it 😭

[paperpocalypse]

klaus being buried alive. lots of callbacks to his past trauma here. execution … hm i dunno

also why is there so much puking in this season

[paperpocalypse]

diego and luther honeys i’m so sorry that you’re being reduced to gimmicks you are so much more than that

[paperpocalypse]

wow i mean props to allison for busting his balls but i didn’t need to see it in 4k :)

[paperpocalypse]

no spare tender hearted music five that is your BROTHER’S WIFE who has THREE KIDS with your BROTHER. your idea of domestic bliss is sitting on a park bench feeding ducks and playing begrudging surrogate grandpa to nosy preschoolers this is NOT IT

[paperpocalypse]

okay diego and luther team up for a cia fight scene with secret agent man in the background, i’m okay with that :)

[paperpocalypse]

there’s something kinda poetic about allison shoveling through the dirt to get to klaus while klaus punches his way through the coffin. i do love these two as a pair

[paperpocalypse]

i want to scream actually. you’re telling me that FIVE. the same guy who was stuck in the apocalypse for 45 years, spent the last three seasons trying to prevent it, and whose ENTIRE MOTIVATION is to save his family. would find a journal detailing how to get back to said family and hide it away for FIVE MONTHS to play house with lila because he doesn’t like the timeline they were in. like look we know he’s tired of having to fix things and that he deserves a break but not like this ?? he isn’t the type to sit back and pretend everything’s okay when he knows his family is in trouble no matter what timeline they’re in

it’s a huge disservice to lila and the struggle she’s been going through this season as well. like they made a whole thing about her having a hard time adjusting to domestic life and then they put her in this domestic situation being completely fine and oblivious ? i ??

[paperpocalypse]

the bald guy was reggie’s wife ?? hooweee okayyy probably shouldn’t be surprised but i am

she’s wearing him as a suit ahhhhg

[paperpocalypse]

last episode !!!! points for playing muse ig, let’s get this thing done

[paperpocalypse]

aww brother bonding. diego’s family with lila is so cute

[paperpocalypse]

ooh that cleanse thing is. nasty

[paperpocalypse]

diego i am so sorry. this is not the kind of family drama that was wanted or needed and why is this happening in the very last episode

[paperpocalypse]

the five/lila/diego confrontation happening in the last episode is the reason five and diego choose to fight over her while their brother is melded to jennifer in some weird monster blob and about to end the world. nice way to tie this up.

[paperpocalypse]

this is the most underwhelming boss fight i’ve ever seen. where’s the flow. the focus. the tension. the angst

[paperpocalypse]

always love a good “white people playing card games” scene

[paperpocalypse]

bruh gene ??? or is it jean ???

[paperpocalypse]

ok don’t block me but i liked seeing where each sibling ended up. it’s a nice callback to s1

[paperpocalypse]

toxic manager from alvin and the chipmunks i love your work

and jennifer ???

[paperpocalypse]

i’m gonna be honest, i actually liked ep. 1. but i also missed them so much and their family chemistry is so good ! just gonna ignore that five and lila foreshadowing 😌

[paperpocalypse]

ep. 2 – so is luther’s powers increased agility as well as strength ? or just like human physicality at its peak ? i forgot lol

[paperpocalypse]

not ben calling everyone ELSE emo lol

[paperpocalypse]

ok the baby shark thing was a little much—ok they’re puking now. who thought that was a good idea

ohh there’s the santa 👍 always fun with the whole town is out to get you trope and getting to see their powers in action. it’s kinda sad how they nuked luther’s character though and just straight up brushed aside sloane ??

but we did see a little peek of the og ben when they praised him in the van and that was a bright spot :)

at this point i’m gonna assume ep. 1 was the best episode for this season. the thing with five and lila is already weirding me out (and with five he’s seeming a lot more mellow in general which i guess can make sense if you want it to but also i don’t know if he would be that … complacent ?? in this new timeline after everything he’s experienced ?) and depending on how the rest goes i can kinda see how the writing can unravel. but also i’m just a third of the way through so

[paperpocalypse]

ooh klaus and allison fight. i wonder if klaus was reminded of his relationship with ghost ben when he was brought back

[paperpocalypse]

the original apocalypse timeline …

[paperpocalypse]

so we see the violin that basically defined viktor during his childhood being played by the original owner and get no closeup shot of viktor’s reaction ? ok 😔

[paperpocalypse]

reginald still the same as he’s always been lol. i don’t buy his wife’s attitude tho

[paperpocalypse]

there’s the dance scene. gene and jean but no siblings in sight :(

[paperpocalypse]

ep. 3 done !! gonna watch the rest later. i think – so far – it’s okay, mostly because of the actors and the way they portray it. however i think that since this is more plot-focused on the jennifer incident and the timeline stuff, it kind of takes away from the characters ? like with s1 the plot and the characters’ arcs were so tightly intertwined, and here they kind of feel like more separate things. allison and klaus are my faves in these episodes. unfortunately the rest of the siblings feel more flattened :( the peak sibling moments are enjoyable and i think the jennifer incident with ben and jennifer in general will be interesting – actually i really like the concept that ben is at the center in the final season because his death was considered the “breaking point” of the umbrella academy. we’ll see how the execution goes though, there are several loose ends from s3 that bother me and again the characterization is a bit iffy even with the explanation of a time skip. the writing’s not as neat as i’d like it to be but it is what it is

it’s easier to watch than s3 though. good or bad thing i dunno haha

[paperpocalypse]

ok last three episodes !! ahhh the young umbrella cast :’)

[paperpocalypse]

WHAT

[paperpocalypse]

this dialogue between ben and jennifer in the motel is not it 😭 just throw all the romance away besides gene and jean we don’t need it 😭

[paperpocalypse]

klaus being buried alive. lots of callbacks to his past trauma here. execution … hm i dunno

also why is there so much puking in this season

[paperpocalypse]

diego and luther honeys i’m so sorry that you’re being reduced to gimmicks you are so much more than that

[paperpocalypse]

wow i mean props to allison for busting his balls but i didn’t need to see it in 4k :)

[paperpocalypse]

no spare tender hearted music five that is your BROTHER’S WIFE who has THREE KIDS with your BROTHER. your idea of domestic bliss is sitting on a park bench feeding ducks and playing begrudging surrogate grandpa to nosy preschoolers this is NOT IT

[paperpocalypse]

okay diego and luther team up for a cia fight scene with secret agent man in the background, i’m okay with that :)

[paperpocalypse]

there’s something kinda poetic about allison shoveling through the dirt to get to klaus while klaus punches his way through the coffin. i do love these two as a pair

[paperpocalypse]

i want to scream actually. you’re telling me that FIVE. the same guy who was stuck in the apocalypse for 45 years, spent the last three seasons trying to prevent it, and whose ENTIRE MOTIVATION is to save his family. would find a journal detailing how to get back to said family and hide it away for FIVE MONTHS to play house with lila because he doesn’t like the timeline they were in. like look we know he’s tired of having to fix things and that he deserves a break but not like this ?? he isn’t the type to sit back and pretend everything’s okay when he knows his family is in trouble no matter what timeline they’re in

it’s a huge disservice to lila and the struggle she’s been going through this season as well. like they made a whole thing about her having a hard time adjusting to domestic life and then they put her in this domestic situation being completely fine and oblivious ? i ??

[paperpocalypse]

the bald guy was reggie’s wife ?? hooweee okayyy probably shouldn’t be surprised but i am

she’s wearing him as a suit ahhhhg

[paperpocalypse]

last episode !!!! points for playing muse ig, let’s get this thing done

[paperpocalypse]

always love a good “white people playing card games” scene

[paperpocalypse]

bruh gene ??? or is it jean ???

[paperpocalypse]

ok don’t block me but i liked seeing where each sibling ended up. it’s a nice callback to s1

[paperpocalypse]

toxic manager from alvin and the chipmunks i love your work

and jennifer ???

[paperpocalypse]

i’m gonna be honest, i actually liked ep. 1. but i also missed them so much and their family chemistry is so good ! just gonna ignore that five and lila foreshadowing 😌

[paperpocalypse]

ep. 2 – so is luther’s powers increased agility as well as strength ? or just like human physicality at its peak ? i forgot lol

[paperpocalypse]

not ben calling everyone ELSE emo lol

[paperpocalypse]

ok the baby shark thing was a little much—ok they’re puking now. who thought that was a good idea

[paperpocalypse]

i like jennifer (assuming that diner owner is jennifer) but it doesn’t really make much sense for her to suddenly run away with ben. one line about once wanting to leave and a tiny bit of personal relatability didn’t really build the chemistry enough between them that would overpower her trust in her uncle imo

[paperpocalypse]

ohh there’s the santa 👍 always fun with the whole town is out to get you trope and getting to see their powers in action. it’s kinda sad how they nuked luther’s character though and just straight up brushed aside sloane ??
