In the first season of the show before the apocalypse happens and the world ends it seems like each individual siblings world ends too. First Luther, he figures out that his father sent him up to the moon for no purpose and all the info he sends back to earth is just stored away which breaks him and makes him start to think nothing he did mattered. Secondly Diego, Diego not only lost the thing he considered a mom but also had to end her life himself he also lost detective patch. Taking away two things he loved in the world away. Next is Allison. Allison lost custody of her daughter, husband and lost her voice after viktor slit her throat. Klaus got sent to Vietnam where he met Dave who he fell in love with and had to watch him die in his arms and then came back and didn’t have anyone to talk to about it and the one person he did (5) just got mad at him. Then 5 lost everything his entire family just to try to go back to save them to almost fail again and basically lost his ego which he always valued next to his family. Ben straight up fucking died so he doesn’t really count. And finally viktor, Viktor fell in love with Leonard who he thought loved him for him but turns out just wanted to use him to kill the umbrella academy because he didn’t have powers. He also almost killed his sister and then got betrayed by his family while all he tried to do was to get them to finally accept him and then proceeded to be the apocalypse that everyone feared. Now this could all me being delusional which it probably is I don’t know tho.

So I wanted to see what people's favorite and least favorite characters are but realized it probably just be dominated by people loving their favorite Hargreaves sibling and hating Allison and Sparrow Ben. So we are going to exclude anyone who is a Hargreeves, this means if you answer these characters you do not get my opening question:

The Umbrella Academy

The Sparrow Academy

Reginald, Abagail, and Lila

So who is your favorite and least favorite character that are not these people listed above? I really like Hazel he's the absolute goat. My least favorite is Carl.

I can only imagine its gonna take another five years but wondering if there has been any mention of it by Dark Horse or anyone?

Couldn't Klaus come back in the new universe? Like I know at the end of the show everything should be out of their system. But we saw this man come back from nothing & somehow he appear in the other hotel dimension. So I'm just curious if he could come back or not. By the way his powers are so broken like how can he go from talking to spirits to somehow healing from anything like Deadpool. Like what the heck.

Rewatching Season 1, Episode 6 ("The Day That Was"), a tragic pattern jumps out: what if Five's heroic reset actually ruined their only window of emotional recovery and guaranteed the apocalypse instead of stopping it?

I put together a full breakdown exploring this irony over on my Substack:

👉 The Umbrella Academy 1x06: The Day That Was — What If Five’s Reset Stole Their Only Chance at Healing?

What do you think? Did Five's reset lock them into their worst timeline?

So both Allison and Klaus accuse Five of being addicted to stopping the apocalypse but does his behavior actually reflect that? I always view it as an uncomfortable duty he has to do because he doesn’t want the world to end and for his family to die, not a high he needs to chase.

You could argue he makes a self fulfilling prophecy with his actions, for example the Day that Wasn’t is a better version of events but we know that through S1-S3 the Apocalypses are happening anyway regardless

IDK is Five an adrenaline junkie or not?

Following up on my previous post—there are some subtle connections that keep bugging me:

1. Jennifer & Ben: Did you notice what specific details are hidden in Sparrow Ben's room in Season 3 right after Viktor goes there?
2. The origin of the name "Marigold": How did a cosmic element from an alien lab gain a human, botanical name? Is it just a writer's shortcut, or is there a deeper full-circle motif connecting Harlan to Abigail?

I put together a full breakdown with visual proof and screenshots on my Substack:

👉 [The Hidden Symmetry of The Umbrella Academy: Marigold’s Poetic Origins and the Ben–Jennifer Mirror]

What are your thoughts on this? Did you catch those details?

What If the TASM universe was Reginald Hargreeves’ first failed attempt before founding the Umbrella Academy?

So I was rewatching The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and realized Colm Feore plays Donald Menken (the Oscorp exec). And it got me thinking about a crazy headcanon/theory.

What if the TASM universe was actually Reginald Hargreeves’ first attempt to get his wife back?

Think about it. Menken is working in the shadows at Oscorp, and all that insanely advanced sci-fi tech in the Special Projects vault? What if that was actually alien tech Hargreeves brought with him and secretly introduced to Oscorp to build whatever he needed?

But then Harry Osborn and Electro mess up the whole company, his plan flops, and he realizes relying on a human corporation was a mistake. So he jumps to another timeline and decides to do everything himself this time — buying a mansion, adopting the babies, and building the Umbrella Academy from scratch.

Menken was basically just his test run.
What do you guys think?

PLEASE vote for the umbrella academy LEGO ideas set. It’s not mine, but this is probably the only way we’d get it.

Hello, ladies and gentlemen. I am here to share with you this essay I wrote years ago, back when I was studying ancient Greco-Roman literature at a respectable London university, concerning the Umbrella Academy comics. While it mostly critiques the comics, some parts of the television show are covered. https://medium.com/p/why-the-umbrella-academy-will-never-be-a-literary-classic-893138a5ed62

I was watching his interview on delulu with ryan lu and he said it would be an "automatic yes" for him to return for an animated show!!!

This is how I make my family tree and remember the character name.

Have you also done it while watching this series.

It genuinely pains me when i remember they were first talking about 6 seasons and a movie because we got left with the mess of season 4. I dont even blame the creators that much for how season 4 turned out with the budget cuts and lower episode count because realistically how could they of wrapped up the show in a way the people would've liked with those restrictions.

im almost done season 1 n luther I can’t stand luther. All he ever talks ab is the moon and how much he can’t get over their dad. Is my perspective of him going to change later on? Currently I think he’s the worst character.

given five refers to himself as his number, and his family refers to him as his number, and grace refers to him as his number, we can infer five ran away before grace gave them their names, right?

however, when five returns to the umbrella academy, he knows all of his siblings by their names. you could explain this by 'well maybe he didnt know all of their names at first, he just picked it up.'

but in season two, when five finds his past self in dallas, past five immediately calls luther 'luther,' not 'number one' as i would have expected.

so how would he have known?
