So I Finally Watched The Umbrella Academy

So I Finally Watched The Umbrella Academy

Just finished watching The Umbrella Academy. It was one of the shows I had saved on My Watch List since it came out and I decided to finally start watching it last week. I finished the show today and I’m kinda disappointed with it. I love the show. It definitely is amazing. Robert Sheehan is an amazing actor and I’ve been a fan of his since Misfits. Ellen Page was amazing in this as well and I loved her character, but I didn’t like how her character ended. 

With stories like this, they always wanna portray a good, positive ending and while that may be good for some people, I kinda hate it. When I got to the last episode, I was really hype for Vanya to get her revenge and yet, she didn’t get it. That made me mad. I was heartbroken for her. After suffering her entire life, she finally finds out that she has a power and also a power that is stronger than her siblings. It just seems wrong that all her other siblings in a way was able to get their revenge, but not Vanya. 

This show reminded me of the movie Chronicle. At least in the movie, the guy was able to get his revenge for a few minutes before he was killed. I felt like Vanya was never even loved by her other siblings. Only 1 of them didn’t want to kill her, while the rest of them were right on board with trying to kill her. 

All I know is that in the second season, her siblings better not try to hide Vanya’s powers from her.
