You're Laughing. The Umbrella Academy's Final Season Destroyed Every Character's Personal Growth And

swap au ragatha holding pomni?

it was worth the try

Y'all's goin about @burrotello 's super awesome Fight Club AU,

while my headcanon Pomni already knows how to throw them hands XD

to give you guys some hope here are things i liked about s4 umbrella academy:

diego and luther having a silly little adventure and just being brothers

viktor finally getting closure with reggie

allison getting claire back!!

gene and jean being the coolest fucking characters of s4, truly they reminded me of s1 tua with their quirkiness

the light shed on viktor and ben's relationship - and how viktor was so adamant in helping ben

like... ben is literally in the same position viktor was in s1. feeling misunderstood by his family, alone, confused, not accepted, being feared of. and viktor understands this completely because he's been in this exact situation before. (they could have emphasized this better but-)

LILA GETTING HER FAMILY BACK!!!!

diego knowing punjabi because that's the native tongue of lila's family

luther being his usually, silly, himbo self ("i'm a professional dancer!!!!")

diego doing That Thing with the bullets

lila's laser eyes??? badass af

the weird subway thing and five's deli with all the different fives (council of wells much?)

klaus getting kidnapped in true klaus fashion... AGAIN 😌

and some other things i cant remember

peeta did not perform his ass off in every interview for you to say katniss was lucy gray's revenge.

This is great.

Elf on the shelf where everything is the same except the elf is a 9-foot tall illidan stormrage

The Ben idea would have been so good tbh, like I love Ben(Six and Two) and wish he got to actually live life, but it would have definitely have been better for sure

I am so confused about the season 4 ending because it WASN'T NECESSARY AT ALL.

Seeing all these characters who have suffered and grown and made lives for themselves be erased is such bullshit.

Y'know what would've been tragic? The idea that Ben always dies. That Ben realises that he can absorb the others' marigolds, the power he tricked them into getting back when they didn't want it, by getting Viktor to transfer them to him.

So that he can finally save Jennifer and his family.

He isn't their Ben. He is a different guy who lost all of his family and is trying to fit into a place another version of him belonged in. But he doesn't belong there. Ben always sacrifices himself to save his family because he loves them.

Much like how the original Ben's death pushed the Academy apart, his death now pulls them back together and they all get to be happy and together as a family with their loved ones.

The idea that the Umbrellas themselves will always cause an apocalypse makes no sense and is just plain stupid and lazy writing. Heck, if anything, Viktor is the reason why an apocalypse always happens! He is the one who blew up the moon, caused the nukes to fall in the sixties, and then caused the kugelblitz by giving Harlan powers! So if anyone was to be erased to stop the apocalypse it would be Viktor but the show didn't even consider that for reasons.

this is a trend on twitter but I think it can still kinda work here

A Familiar Fondness...

Episode 3 will now be my personality for the next few days (Dad Kinger for the win !!!!!)

As I’m trying to come to terms with whatever the fuck that was, I’ve decided that:

Seasons 1 and 2 are peak. Absolute masterpieces. Canon.

Season 3 can be taken or left. Has its moments, but overall not as good as the first two. Canon, but only if you want it to be.

Season 4 is a fucking crack fic written at 2am that the author rereads at a later date and decides to delete. Absolutely not canon.

I just officially watched the first three episodes of season four and I’m debating watching the rest after seeing spoilers. But my takeaways so far are:

After all they’ve been through, they still don’t really keep in touch? Weird but okay.

Sloane and Ray just gone like that, huh? Doesn’t make any sense but sure.

As a Luther fan, I am devastated that everyone so far has cool upgrades on powers except him, and not only that, they incorporated Pogo’s DNA being part of his power??? How does that work??? Also, like, how awful is that??? He was finally normal again and they go back to bringing that trauma back in his life??? I kinda wanted to see how his power would’ve evolved into new stuff like the others, but whatever.

As a Ben fan since season one, what is happening here. I know this Ben is not Umbrella Ben, but like, cryptocurrency scam artist Ben? No real character development Ben? The plot revolves around him but he’s hardly on screen Ben? Only good thing is that he was giving major Doc Ock vibes in episode three.

I like the potential whump fics that will come out of them getting their powers back. But even a fan of whump fics, I could’ve done without the excessive visceral vomiting.

Diego seems like he was written by someone who really didn’t get his character. I mean they all did seem OOC, but Diego especially to me??? Like that man didn’t give stay at home dad vibes last season with Stanley??? Lila being the stay at home parent? Really? No.

There’s a lot I would’ve changed so far, but I guess overall, the first three episodes were okay.
