What's popping umbrella heads it's me Mt and welcome back to the heavy spoiler show! This is going to be a breakdown of the final season of The Umbrella Academy on Netflix. So let's get into it.ENDING EXPLAINEDAll right first we have to talk about that rather strange ending... Because what the heck was that all about? Well, apparently according to the laws of this universe, the members of the Umbrella Academy were never really supposed to exist... And their existence basically brought upon the birth of the Multiverse... A cosmic structure that was never really supposed to exist in the first place. There was only ever supposed to be One Singular timeline... And that's the timeline that we see at the very end of the finale when we see Allison and Lila's family have a fun family day out alongside a number of actors that have appeared throughout the course of the series as “I Think We’re Alone Now” by Tommy James and the Shondells plays.
Then after we get a look at all of these people living their true happy endings, we get this super beautiful shot of this tree in the middle of the park... With the camera leading us to the base of the tree where we can see 8 yellow flowers magically spring to life before the series comes to a close. As you guys could have probably guessed, each of these flowers supposed to represent each of the members of the Umbrella Academy that all held hands as the Bennifer-pocalypse consumed their very essences...

Let us know your thoughts on the final season below

[@ethanbear360]

I liked it, but the VFX had some distracting lapses in quality. The pacing feels rushed with only 6 episodes unlike the previous seasons having 10 episodes each. I liked that they used Map of the Problematique, Muse really fits the tone of the show.

[@lindseystein9676]

I love the ending. I thought it was excellent

Season 4 was honestly all over the place. It's clear that Netflix just wanted to be done with this project.

[@Ajjenklesgaming]

I got bored on season 4 episode 4 and stopped watching it. It feels like I'm watching the same plot repeatedly. The world is ending and they try to stop it again. I think they should have ended the story in season 3. The ending was not bad, but now it just seems like bad writing. I feel like I wasted my time watching.

[@markstriker925]

​@@Ajjenklesgamingyeah the same story for this season. I would they just work to finding each other again.

[@XXXSemperSolusXXX]

Idk if it’s cause I didn’t watch it on Netflix but after episode 1 I watched episode 2 and it left out so much that happened. They only talked about what happened after Ben put merrigold in everyone’s drinks forcing them to get their powers back. They talked about finding the girl they were looking and everything that went crazy when they found her but nothing was shown. I was so confused.

[@SasaAndjelkovic009]

nope, just the opposite they showed that this is the main topic of the world, if you understood the series?

I’m disappointed, I’ll admit. - Luther mentions Sloane maybe twice. He isn’t shown looking for her or mourning - just his usual, cheerful self. - Why couldn’t Viktor just take everyone’s marigold and sacrifice himself? Then only one person has to die instead of everyone. Or Five could’ve gone back in time and stop Ben from ever giving everyone else the marigold, that way the cleanse never would’ve even happened. - So….Diego and Five just die hating each other? With no resolution whatsoever to the love triangle? - Has Klaus just forgotten three seasons of character development or something? - Why did Ray leave? Did the actor just not want to come back for another season? - Weren’t there supposed to be two versions of Ben in that timeline? Why tease it, then not use it? - Also, way to totally waste Ben all season - According to the final shot, there’s still marigold in the world somehow anyway, so in theory, it’ll just start again? Either that, or it’s symbolic, which imo is naff. - so if Claire and the other kids still exist, but Alison, Diego, and Lila never existed, then how does that not create a paradox? - 6 episodes? Seriously?? - Rushed ass season I will concede that Luther in a thong was hilarious, but that’s it.

[@SkymonkeyVal]

I was thinking about the exact same things lol. Also it bothered me how much towards the end they would be like “make sure to w kids are on the train” when theoretically the kids will never exist

[@TheLOD2099]

Do you need a hug?

[@BayconAddict]

@@TheLOD2099 yes pls 🥺

[@MM01901]

Okay so the whole Viktor taking everyone’s marigold or five going back in time, wouldn’t have worked. They were ALL born because of the marigold so they all had to go since they only existed because of it for everything to be how it should be. This is why when they didn’t have the powers at the start the multiverse was still all over the place and there were multiple timelines when there was only meant to be one. Even if Viktor had taken one for the team all that would have done was create a post apocalyptic world in that timeline and still have left the others. Same if five had actually gone back and stopped everyone, would have still had all the other five’s all running around that we saw at the end.

[@leskobrandon7516]

you put more thought into this than they did.

[@joshdkidd6736]

Loved the show but it kind of lost its touch You can tell Netflix was done with it and just wanted it to end because they’re so many plot holes unresolved and just left there

[@Yointrovert]

True. Also, this time, they didn't do the usual part 1 and part 2 . Also, the final season has fewer episodes than other seasons

[@jonathankhan7184]

What happened to Sloane? Really wanted Luther to find her What happened to the other Ben in the subway at the end of S3?

[@hafsaahmed7716]

​@@jonathankhan7184 that was the same ben and sloane doesn't exist in this timeline since only the umbrellas are here

[@jonathankhan7184]

@hafsaahmed7716 no there were two Ben's at the end of S3 Ben was a Sparrow and Sloane was part of the machine that reset the universe It was even said that at the beginning of season 3 that Hargreaves chose to adopt other children instead of them. Remember many children were born with powers that day he only managed to adopt 7.

[@Yointrovert]

@jonathankhan7184 Didn't some guy whose power is similar to Victor killed their mother and caused the grandfather paradox? I remember seeing them mentioning that there was no record of their birth.

[@Kye-t1k]

Ben and Five were done dirty the most this season. As much of a dick (sparrow) Ben was, he did have potential and he had the opportunity to spend more time and create a bond with the rest of the team but didn’t capitalize on said opportunity until he realized it was too late. That really hurts especially after finding out the circumstances on how he really died in episode 4. As for Five, the whole fling between him and Lila really pissed me off like he OF ALL THE SIBLINGS would NEVER do that to Diego. It literally feels like the writers didn’t know what to do with them. Dare I say they ruined his character. Ben and Five really deserved better, honorable mention I have is Diego, mans really went through it this season 😭

[@A_Pink_Fish]

I agree with this, but at the same time I feel like the affair between Lila and Five emphasizes how much the time traveling was affecting them. Five loved his siblings so much and would never do something like that under normal circumstances, but after jumping through time and almost dying so many times in all the different timelines, he just snapped.

[@Kye-t1k]

@@A_Pink_Fish Yeah you brought up a really good point. But idk I still feel so conflicted with his character after finishing this season (and I’m saying this as someone who loves Five, he’s my favorite character after Klaus & original timeline Ben). I will say tho it was so hard watching him and Diego nag at each other after Lila wanted him back bc it was just so out of character for him but like you said, he probably just had enough and snapped which is unfortunate :/

[@A_Pink_Fish]

@@Kye-t1k I agree. Five’s character changed through the seasons because he used to be so desperate to be with his family he didn’t give a sh about anything else. Now he just seems more self centered and that’s where the broody attitude is coming from which makes it so hard to watch 😭 💕 I still love him though. And I agree Klaus is my favorite character too

[@einundzwanzigster5618]

I agree. I keep saying "ugh" and rolled my eyes watching Five and Lila scenes. 🙄 It grossed me out.

[@spidersoldierofmischeif6686]

@@A_Pink_Fish That's what I thought so too but I do feel they could have executed it a lot better. Like I get it, 6 years is a lot and Lila and Five could have definitely gotten together.. BUT the way they did it felt so out of the blue. I know that they hinted it from the earlier episodes but we rooted for Lila and Diego the last season not Lila and Five. They literally just threw away Lila and Diego's relationship and made up this side plot with Lila and Five. We literally felt betrayed. And what's even the point? They all died in the end with their character arcs ruined for no fucking reason.

[@ericamcqueen5607]

Also, how the hell did Five and Lila spend 7 YEARS in the metro without ever running into anyone, but then right at the end of the world, our Five just conveniently runs into a diner full of Fives who explain the whole plot?

[@MinorKey135]

Only thing I can think is that Five wandered so far for so long that he ended up at “the end of the line” where he met the other Five. How that didn’t lead to paradox sickness idk I also wonder which Five left the book of ciphers and why

[@skyariakerti-attfield7847]

my guess would be that this diner thing has a natural version of the "paradox proof" thing of the panic room from s3 with 100yr old five. they say that "one of us went and created the commission" so

[@aizaunlowe494]

There was only supposed to be one time line right so all the other time lines have had a apocalypse or is gonna have one so it’s not crazy they didn’t run into anyone it’s crazy that the fives ran so far ahead that there untouched and just chilling

[@kiarasessyoin-xo8vf]

If the apocalypse will always happen wherever they are, then why didn’t the first one happen until Vanya’s powers were activated??! Like shouldn’t the apocalypse have happened as soon as they were born?? And why did the umbrella kids dying stop the apocalypse, since we already know for a fact that there are wayyy more kids born with marigold in the world ☠️. Like the plot holes are insane.😂

[@skyariakerti-attfield7847]

@@kiarasessyoin-xo8vf I think it's moreso that the existence of the marigold in the time line is what caused the fractures and so led to constant apocolypses. and I can only assume that the people we follow are the "core" timeline so to speak. but yeah, could have been explained way better

​@@random_girl-onyoutube in reality, that entire subplot was scrapped and they shoehorned in the ben scams thing bc Netflix was already finsihed was this show for whatever reason, even tho it makes them tons of money

[@micahfisher6125]

It's honestly impressive how the season with the least number of episodes... felt the most bloated. So much of what happed felt like it didn't matter at all, and like the writers just had no ideas on what to do.

[@geekyhive]

My thoughts exactly! I usually complain about the shorter seasons, I miss having 12, 16 or more episodes of character development, but this? This could've been a 3 episodes season, without all the needless running around for nothing.

[@spaceboyg]

There's probably a really good 2 hour film at the core if you edited out all of the fluff. I don't know why they felt the need to pad it out, 3 seasons and a movie isn't bad.

[@mayo4507]

This season was undoubtedly rushed, why is Luther apeified when it was a serum that caused the appearance? He should've just had his super human abilties returned...

[@jackts2375]

Was thinking the same thing cause when i first saw that i thought aren't his powers tied to his powers and not his ape appearence but they probably did that so they could have a bullet proof character

[@jjsstikbotvideos4421]

Was confused on that too, either I’m just dumb and not understanding why, or it’s a plot hole. Assuming a plot hole, because they just wanted a bullet proof character. When it showed he was a gorilla, I immediately got confused on why. He shouldn’t be. That was when he was an adult, when Reginald injected the chimp serum into his system after he went on a solo mission and got hurt. That literally doesn’t have to do with his actual powers/marigold he was born with lol. Ig it could be because everyone’s powers were slightly different, but eh

[@guyinthechair5795]

@@ka850411 I’m pretty sure the stated reason, or the one the show tries to make us believe is that the Marigold gave Victor a warped version of his powers. Five, Lila, Allison, and Victor all have different powers, or so the show makes you think. What with Five having multidimensional travel, Lila having laser eyes, Victor having kinetic and luminous energy creation, and Allison having telekinesis. Though the other half of the Academy having their same powers & Five and Lila regaining their old abilities. Still makes about zero sense. You can really tell that the only six episodes really hammered the show in the balls.

Lila’s parents would still exist, but who tf they think those kids are?😂I want to go ask them “hey those are your grandkids, right?” “yeah.” “so who’s your kid?” “uhhhh” Ask the kids: “hey, who’s your parents? either one?” “uhhhhh”

I said Lila’s parents would still be alive, because Lila not existing has nothing to do with them not existing, unlike her kids. There is literally no way Claire and Lila and Diego’s kids existing still is NOT a plot hole, unless they’re all adopted.

[@tmofficial1164]

maybe it's just me but I thought that was the only thing that made sense in the entire season. they were outside of the true timeline as the others collapsed so they were then inserted into the true one. they exist because they were in a protective bubble while the collapse was happening and inserted into the timeline. ben and jennifer may even have helped make it happen as well since they are the ones who reset things and clearly still exist in one form or another.

Honestly, I liked this season WAY better than Season 3, but the whole Lila and 5 situation was SO WEIRD and Unnecessary, it literally could have had them deepening their bond as "siblings" or just become closer friends. It just did not sit right. The ending was unexpected but somewhat appreciated, but I wish it was a more clean cut story line, and they did a full 10 episode season to wrap it up nicely vs just 6. Edit: Also, Ray was such an upstanding character in season 2, it sucks that they just had him "Walk out" on Allison and Claire.

[@itsthemaggieshow]

Maybe they couldn't get the actor back

[@MisssKayy]

I think this season showed that even though the siblings were able to finally have a normal life, they were still unhappy. None of them were meant to have a normal, happy life. Not even Reggie! They were going to keep having to prevent the apocalypse because they were the cause of the apocalypse. The only way to stop it was to reset the timeline one last time. I love a good ending,😊

[@elwynluketejano289]

Sorry, Me too was weirded by 5 and Lila's relationship but it come one, They were there for almost 7 years, only the two of them, no way there won't be a spark. Even Lila easily fell in love with Diego in season 2. Also the fact, 5 was a better lover than Diego and they had more connection due to them being under cover agents throughout season 2 to 4. So it's a no question why the fell for each other in the first place. But then again, I don't support their relationship and never will be, The season was rushed and I hate how they did it.

[@Director_Oompaloompa]

The ending was kinda sad but kinda bad but dont blame the writers. The show was supposed to have 7 seasons but was cancelled so season 4 was the only way to wrap things up with only 6 episodes. The result was good considering with what they had to work with but its bad anyways because the show felt incomplete. Which also explains why sloane and the other ben were missing all season.

[@AlbinoHammer]

You have to blame the writers a little though. THAT was how they decided to end the show? The Lila and Five relationship? Klaus being tortured elsewhere almost the entire season AGAIN? The Gene and Jean plot line being almost completely disjointed from the main plot. Sure they had time restraints, but come on, anything would be a better ending than an ending worse than “it was all a dream.” This is literally “none of the events in the show mattered nor happened.”

[@Slyest4255]

I never liked the "Oh the show got cut short so don't blame the writers" argument. Like sure they couldn't tell the story they wanted to tell but they still could've came up with a something better

[@BraidyBrown]

​@@AlbinoHammerwhy are you offended by story arcs that track with character traits? Lila is literally crazy, Klaus ALWAYS finds himself in trouble, and Five NEEDED a romance before the series ended. Try and do that, with 7 Seasons turning into 4, plus an entirely CUT budget. Lol people on the internet be weird af

[@mayo4507]

​​@@BraidyBrownFive NEEDING a romance is not a character trait. Yes, Klaus finding himself in trouble is basically his thing but they did not need to explore it for as long as they did, especially taking time away from their last 6 episodes. It isnt 7 seasons turning into 1, its 3 seasons into 7 seasons ending abruptly. I guarantee you many people dont even know it was planned to have that many seasons. Everybody accepted that this would be the very last.

[@FlyingIrma]

​@@BraidyBrownI get the sentiment, but I don't entirely agree with this statement. Personally, I do feel that we lost some of the character growth we've gotten in the past seasons. Characters still (rightfully) have flaws and old patterns, but I can't help but feel like some of the precious development was thrown out the window to serve the extreme short timespan the writers had to wrap it up in 6 episodes (hinting at Klaus here). Very little that the characters did (aside from finding Jennifer and igniting that connection between her and Ben), contributed to the plot. Stuff just happened and they were just somewhere doing something somewhat related or completely disconnected from it, with the idea of it exposing something we (in my opinion) didn't need this much runtime for to expose (for example) that the CIA was part of the cult and so on. Sparrow Ben's moment with Viktor at the end was also undeserved. The dude was an ass at the end of season 3, spent most of his time in prison in the gap between 3&4, and wasn't any closer to his alternate siblings when he got out of prison. Almost (what feels like) immediately after, he runs off to/with Jennifer because their connection forces him to. He doesn't have any real bonding time with any of the siblings, even on a little bit deeper than superficial level. And honestly? Given the lack of timespan did Five really *need* a romance? It could just as much have been him getting closer to his dysfunctional family. To sum things up, I still enjoyed a lot of the visuals and some of the interactions. But the lack of time definitely showed in the result. I'm glad we got to see an ending. Part of me, however, can't help but feel like there were different, more substantial, things they could have done in order to reach the same conclusion. That said, this opinion is coming from a series enjoyer, and not someone who has read the comics. So maybe there might be a difference in how much we know about the lore and which character beats series-enjoyers haven't been exposed to compared to those who've read and enjoyed the comics. Plus, everyone's own experience in how they've received this season is valid. The circumstances weren't perfect, but at least it wasn't fully open ended.

And although it was so long ago for Lila, she told Diego she had some problems with him, so he was clearly trying to be better. But what rlly pissed me off!! Was when he found out and got upset, they acted like he had no right to be upset!! LIKE?? Yes he does. And then he and Five fist fighting instead of trying to deal with the monster? And help Allison and help Viktor who are both unconscious? Diego initiated the fight, but Five shouldn’t have started to fight him. Five was in the wrong in trying to act like he’s better for Lila than Diego. And then acting all butthurt about he and Lila, when it wasn’t a real relationship in the first place. Then he, Diego, and Lila all ended on weird terms. I don’t understand why they didn’t just have he and Lila trapped and becoming close friends.

Pretty sure Ben was turned facing away from him when he was shot, and it was a headshot, so he died immediately.

Im mad!! Wtf WITH FIVE AND LILA????? just no. FIVE DESERVED love❤ BUT NO WITH LILA. SHE HAVE A CHILDREN AND DIEGO SO WHATT HAPPEN?

[@BraidyBrown]

They did those characters dirty. Alison and Luther was also weird af

[@mmmmouth]

Seriously, like this is the same Five that is 50plus years old mentally lets remember. The same one that still comforted Viktor in a previous season and wanted to return to the family and whats best for them but they had to waste a love interest for him on Lila, Diego's wife? Diego even had his resolution with the CIA and was ready to go home and change for Lila and the family but they destroy it by having her cheat?

[@davidblank420]

I couldn't get past S3. Its been the same plot, oh no its the apocalypse and we started it? Rinse and repeat.

[@Plewick]

The same feelings about the 3rd season. Glad that I stopped watching in the half of the season and just watched the recap instead of finishing watching. But to be fair, the fourth season was actually not that bad

[@EJerel]

Also the family is arguing and splitting up again? Got to get them back together to stop the apocalypse

[@Matt.Radiant]

Does anyone know if there’s like a multi-hour long summary video explaining the chronological story of the whole show now? Cuz I feel like they really failed to answer or wrap up a lot of the plotlines from the first 3 seasons due to them only doing 6 episodes and now a lot of my theories are unanswered 😭😭😭😭

[@Matt.Radiant]

Damn I’m just now stupidly learning this show didn’t have a consistent source material that the writer relied on and that he went off the rails to make his own story and now all the random unexplained things that I thought were mere comic references or Easter eggs are just pointless unanswered plot threads (like Lila having laser eyes as part of her innate powers or the fact that Reginald is an alien and somehow unlike the kids, him being alive isn’t part of the reason for the broken timelines due to what I can only assume is that his powers don’t come from marigold and he literally is an alien???)

[@jackts2375]

@@Matt.Radiant What powers do reginald have? and if you thought about it you could have gest reginald was an alien due to the ships and marigold and fields he was seen in when his wife died

[@Matt.Radiant]

@@jackts2375 I just think it’s a let down that the show never DIRECTLY confronted who Reggie was (as an alien) and more of that identity. ESPECIALLY….. since Luther literally has seen with his own eyes that he’s not a normal human. There was a lot of room for questioning but none of it, sadly.

Did we forget that there’s still one dude that got marigold on them?

[@ojon12389]

For the Jennifer incident, I had the exact same thought. If Reginald knew the girl was there, why did he send the team there, and not anyone else? Even if he chose to kill them, did he really need to kill Ben as well? Just kill the girl, and save Ben.

[@EyeKahnography]

ok but shoutout to MT and the team for the 'tides of change' pun at 3:30. I like the breakdown on the tree and it makes me feel a little better about the ending. Season felt weirdly rushed. I LOVED the tiny town fight, and how well Claire seemed to balance her mom out. I could have watches a whole lot more of Claire and Uncle Klaus.

[@meeshelly25]

I am 4:16 into this video and in that time your explanation of this final season needs to be what everybody else watches to understand why the season ended the way it did. Beautiful work! 👏🏻 and now I don’t need to watch it because this is all I needed.

[@MrFiyaboi]

Technically Reginald was raising them to ultimately sacrifice them to save his wife which he tried to do in season 3, he did get his wife back but they were not sacrifice due to Allison intrusion which made it where his wife who is back but knows it meant so many others had died or suffer she decides to fix things and bring back the original time line which would have none of the hargreaves being alive

[@KoltVEVO]

Their explanation at the end was so stupid. If the problem was the marigold, which is what Five said, then why didn’t Viktor just take all the marigold and sacrifice himself so the family could survive and have a happy life in one timeline? They brought up Viktors ability to do it multiple times in the season, and you’d think she’d remember that when she literally tried doing it to Ben within the same hour. It’s just the GOT treatment, they cut down the episodes from 10 to 6, and rushed the last two episodes hard. They first 4 were honestly pretty good, and given the season had a proper 10 episodes, were on perfect pace. Then they went and gave us a filler plot with Five and Lila that was just weird and unnecessary and did nothing for the season. It was an awful ending that had a perfect ending right infront of them, yet they just screwed it. But that’s what we get when they had full creative freedom given that it was an original story and not a comic adaptation.

[@jackts2375]

The family were all created by marigold and it might have caused a reset

[@jjsstikbotvideos4421]

@@jackts2375That’s what I was thinking. But still though.. after season 3, they had no powers. They had no marigold, it was in a jar. Therefore, the world stopped ending. The world stopped ending for a whole 6 years! Then that world ending cycle only started again once they drank the marigold back. So couldn’t they on the finale have gotten the marigold out of their bodies somehow (maybe with Viktor) and the blob would’ve absorbed the marigold and they’d have been fine? And just became normal humans.

Season 4 was so meh I was like "that's it??" I thought there's some big secret of why the alien dad is on earth. Like from season 1 I already knew that the apocalypse keeps chasing the siblings so obviously they're the problem. Thank goodness they took so long for season 4 to come out, all of my initial hype are gone and I'm now not as dissapointed as I would have if it come out earlier.

if the umbrella academy kids had to be undone or sacrificed, then what of the other ones that were created. 43 total right?

What I thought was going to happen: -The Umbrella Academy would live in a word controlled by Reg where they are constantly hunted down -The Umbrella Academy would stop communication (hence the ending of season 3) and Reg yet again would bring them back together -Expansion on Bens power and how the Eldritch Terrors affected his death -Dead characters reappearing -Patch would come back (5 and Lila’s romance made me think that she would be brought back for Diego) Although I liked this season more than 3, I felt like it was rushed. Even on the last episode I wondered if there was more because of how the story really needed to be extended!

August the 8th was more symbolic, it's the 8th day of the 8th month and 2024 adds up to an 8 (numerology) - so all combined it was a triple 888 - a huge loop of infinity for the day and the symbolism on which the original timeline was restored.
