History of The Umbrella Academy

[@ahmedrashid4453]

I’m not sure if this happened in the comics but in the show I loved Diego’s relationship with their mom.

In the comics he and Vanya were a thing instead lol Guess the Netflix execs thought one pair of incest was enough and cut it

@@bbgunz1705 I really enjoyed the comics. I love how in-depth they are. Although Dallas is most people's favorite (which I also love and understand why it's most people's favorite)apocalypse suite is my personal favorite just because it was something new with comics in my opinion. I also really like the show I just don't think they do The Boy and The White Violin much justice. These are 2 of the most badass characters in comics period

[@thailandwilson1041]

Speaking of Gerard Way comics, I would love to see an episode on the 'True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys' series. Not only is it a really cool series with several interesting themes, but its also based off of My Chemical Romance's 'Danger Days' album, which is one of the best, and most underrated concept albums ever!

[@ilovetweek000]

“Danger Days” wasn’t underrated

[@Salem-cc1kk]

Danger days best album, but True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys idk bout that, that was the comic that got me into comics, but I feel it was like pretty fucking rushed, and I really didn't like it, like for real, we don't get any time to develope any characters, it just happens out of nowhere, I think the best characters are the porno droids and Korse, they were the only memorable characters for me, I forgot about everyone else, and I've read it like 3 times

[@adrianestrada5736]

He did. In a brief video of Peni Parker, around the time Into the Spider Verse came out. He mentioned it there.😄

[@Bricksgaming710]

I guess the show didn't really hit home with rumors power then because she tells Vanya that she has no powers but it doesn't completely erase her powers because they're still there and she discovers them in her later life she just forgets that she has powers so they definitely tweaked her character same with number one where number one was injected with a serum that turned his body into an ape instead of his head being put on a body and for number two it seemed like they changed his character completely because he doesn't really ever hold his breath in the show instead he has the ability to curve anything like when a insane amount of bullets were fired at him and he stopped them all X-Men style and then curved them away from him
