The mothers & their character

Musing on what we get to see of the Umbrella mothers, I have some thoughts. I wonder if the mothers were shown as deliberate reflections of their children?

Luther’s Mother. A confident business lady, giving or about to give a presentation. She shows leadership, confidence (that dress folks, YES), poise. Professional strength and intelligence. All things that Luther has aspired for.

Diego’s Mum. Shown in the home, preparing a meal. A home maker, caring, love language presumably acts of service. A reflection on how Diego always seems to have wanted to be a real family, with real connnections and care. His closeness with Mom/Grace. Also, knife skills.

Allison’s Mother - a teacher. And if my memory serves me, teaching geography/geology with a diagram of the earth’s layers on the chalkboard. A nurturer who works with youths/children, and who has the power to inspire and change lives with her words.

Klaus’ Mother - Amish. The simple, self-sufficient and religious life doesn’t seem a good fit at first glance, but when you look a little deeper I think there’s some parallels. Religion/Spirituality/Mediumship/literal crossing to the other side are all linked beneath the surface. And the self sufficient life style - Klaus has never really gone without. Whatever he has thought he needed or wanted (materialistically) he has been able to get, one way or another. He’s adaptable, a charmer, he always lands on his feet.

Five’s mother, the butcher. A professional who can get the job done, isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty, but can work with precision. Ability to separate emotions from the job at hand. Also, excellent blade skills and good understanding of anatomy. A good parallel to Five’s ruthless fighting style and the professional pride he took in his assassination work.

Ben’s schoolgirl mom. Young, really starting to explore life, with years and years ahead of her. Too young to be thrust into motherhood, such a momentous change, regardless of the instantaneous nature of it. A reflection or mirror to her son, who was beginning to explore life outside of the academy and died too young.

Viktor’s mother. The aspiring olympic swimmer who wanted to rise above ordinary and compete with the extraordinary - something Viktor longed for for most of his life and formed a huge part of the S1 arc, and really still influences Viktor even in S3.

i will burst out laughing if five's opening scene in season four is him in school glaring at everyone.

[thespianwordnerd]

My favourite thing about the Umbrella Academy is that if you hear the plot about time travel and apocalypses you'd expect it to be this really dramatic and intense sci fi/action show but watching it feels more like a sitcom about seven dysfunctional and traumatised siblings bickering and desperately trying to fix their lives and get approval from their dad while great music plays in the background.

Saw someone a few days ago ask for Five’s barn time travel scene to have Running Up That Hill playing with it. Decided to make it, not my best work but I think it came out alright.

[kamaya]

I feel like a lot of people fail to see how similar umbrella Ben and sparrow Ben are and that bothers me a lot : they're not entirely different characters.

It really bothers me how most people see umbrella Ben as this pure little angel(tm) while he's not ? Of course we didn't see that much of him cause, yk, he's dead, but he was sometimes harsh, and just as pragmatic as sparrow Ben. Like remember when he wanted the brellies to kill Grace ?

When Sparrow Ben tells Viktor to put his shit together cause the apocalypse is happening and they don't have time for that, that something umbrella Ben did with Klaus and Viktor in the past, the only difference is that he has emotional attachment to them, and sparrow Ben doesn't.

That's also why I love that Klaus had a chance to talk about him, cause he's the only one who truly remembers how umbrella Ben could be a little shit sometimes, while the others forgot because of grief.

That was a long way of saying : stop making umbrella Ben into the shy nice little angel he's not.

[brendyrambles-deactivated202209]

This seems like an unpopular opinion of five's arc this season BUT I think it's not out of character of him to be more indifferent with things. Why?

1. He got even more conflicted with killing these past 20 days than the last years he did in the commission

You know the more we see five spent time with his family, the more we could see how he got reminded of his humanity

We got luther said to him that killing wasn't the only option, we got him slapped with reality of how killing random people wasnt as insignificant as he convinced himself by looking at diego's and lila's grief for eudora and lila's parents

If he'd worked without his family these past few days, we might've still seen him putting in more effort and murdering people left and right to get things right in s3.

2. He saw his future self

Saving the world had been his only goal for decades. And then he saw his future self said not to do it. Can you imagine how shaken five felt after hearing that, that his efforts of decades might just go to waste, or might actually just make things worse

Or it might cause him to die alone without his family

Who's to say, but dying alone is probably one of five's biggest fears. He said to klaus he thought he'd cheat death but it turned out he died in a nightmarish situation. That's why he kept surviving despite all odds in the apocalypse in hope to see "a familiar face" again

Now this is a selfish decision on five's side but he had two options: saving the world at the cost of him becoming the commission's founder who died alone OR not saving the world and dying with his family at his side

3. His siblings and their own lives

Througout the seasons, we've seen how most of the time, five failed to understand that his siblings had their own lives

We have the siblings protesting that he's not the boss, that he makes things worse and something along those lines

Despite five being as headstrong as he is, I think he's slowly starting to get the memo

That's why he didnt even try to stop his family from leaving in the last episode

Conclusion: five is losing his motivation to save the world when he spends time with his family faster than when he's working alone in the apocalypse and the commission

Because his family gives him the viewpoint that life is not as simple as surviving. That not everyone is ready to take the risk and sacrifice "little" things for the bigger things. That not everyone isn't at peace of just letting things as they should be

Many people probably think it's ooc for five to give up so quickly after surviving for decades to fight for his goal, but I dont think it is. Five worked for his family after all, it's only natural that his relationship with his family affected him tremendously and made him change faster than when he was alone

Because when he was alone, he only had himself, his thoughts and his goal
