WHY DID STEVE NOT AGREE WITH ROBERT TO MAKE KLAUS MORE FEMININE AND KEEP HIS GUYLINER. HE WOULD HAVE ATE SO HARD

It’s been almost 2 years since umbrella academy ended and I sincerely hope Steve Blackman never lays a finger on another piece of literature again. Ever.

You see, the biggest problem with this is that Five HAD a love story all along.

His love for his family has been THE very foundation of the show and what kickstarted the entire chain of events.

He spent 45 years in the apocalyptic wasteland because he loved them too much to give up.

He found them in every possible timeline.

He reversed time for them.

He became an assassin to get a shot, however small, at coming back to them.

He’s been through countless timelines, doing his best to save and protect them in every single one of them.

No matter how dire the situation, he always pushed to find a way to save his family. His devotion was stronger than anything and there was no line he wouldn’t cross for his siblings. No matter how self-destructive the cost, he sacrificed himself again and again just for a chance at reuniting with them and saving the world so they could live.

It was a destructive kind of love, yes, but also inspiring. I think it resonated with many people because love can be intense, we love and want to be loved with this kind of intensity and dedication.

So, to throw it all away for a romantic subplot that no one asked for is not only a huge disservice to Five’s character but also goes against everything he represents. We already knew he’s capable of love and that he loves deeply.

I don’t understand how the showrunner who worked on the series for 5+ years can say that Five had to have an arc like this. It doesn’t make sense. He already had a love story. Arguably, the most beautiful and deepest of them all. He didn’t need more, what he needed was to have it returned and to finally settle down after multiple lifetimes of putting his life on the line to keep his loved ones safe.

To say otherwise means that the writers fundamentally misunderstood what made Five a great character and what fans loved most about the show. It feels like a betrayal, because it is one. It proves that the creators not only misunderstood the core character of the show but also never paid attention to the fandom and its preferences.

There’s a difference between catering to the audience and what they ended up doing, which is a character assassination at its worst. And it’s not just the character who was ruined but also the entire premise of the show, the reason why fans loved it in the first place. There’s no coming back from something like this.

You wanted Five to have a love story so you pair him up with one half of the happiest couple in the show, ruining a great relationship and characters in the progress...?

Sounds like a great idea🤪

As if they couldn't come up with different ways to include conflict in Diego and Lila's relationship.

As if they couldn't introduce a new character to be Five's love interest.

I'm really struggling to understand the thought process here...

steve blackman looked at aidan gallagher and said “he’s of age now…let’s butcher five’s character with an unnecessary love story that could’ve been replaced by the strengthening of his platonic bond with lila…let’s make five fall in love with his brother’s wife and lie to her about knowing a way home so he can stay with her…let’s erase his love for his family completely in the finale…yes, this is what fans want.”

did anybody else want this? steve blackman it’s on sight. count your days

steve blackman talking to ritu arya at the season 3 premire:

[bluboioou]

We all talk about how Steve Blackman completely ruined The Umbrella Academy potential with this last season of SHIT But for me, the thing that I will always be extremely frustrated about is how he didn't let Robert Sheehan make Klaus more feminine.

This guy simply ignored Klaus' entire style and wardrobe throughout the seasons, only for him to become more and more "masculine" for no reason at all?? And I'm not even going to talk about Klaus in season 4, because seriously?? Besides simply ignoring the potential to explore Klaus' traumas, the fact that Klaus got sober changed his ENTIRE style and, if I may say so, essence? Where is our non-binary icon? Where are his iconic clothes?? Seriously, this shit piss me off more than Lila x Five
