[@HickoryDickory86]

I love them all! I especially want more bro bonding scenes between Diego and Klaus, though. They have such good chemistry on screen. And as much as I love Tom Hopper, Luther has to be the biggest disappointment of them all. He just kept screwing up the same exact way, over and over again! Had he been genuinely forgiving of Vanya from the get-go, the apocalypse would have been averted! Even after he locked her up, had he listened to Allison and followed her lead at each and every single screw-up after that, the apocalypse could have been averted. But time and time again, he listened to no one and did things his own way, making the same mistake over and over again! He's really the reason the apocalypse couldn't be avoided. He's too prideful.

[@Ryan-ue9ve]

You cant really blame him, first off they dont know she is the cause of the apocalypse at that time, second he finds out her powers are too strong and uncontrollable from pogo and third she cut her own sisters throat and left her there to die. In my mind id lock her up too, she is too dangerous at the moment.

[@Meme033094]

@@Ryan-ue9ve i honestly thought he was gonna crush her when they started hugging

[@RandalReid]

It has been reiterated several times in the show that the apocalypse will always happen with Vanya as the trigger by the Handler and even by Number 5. It's kinda liked a fixed point in history if we're going by the Doctor Who mythos. Of course the (possible) second season could subvert that but as far as this season is concerned, it's presented as inevitable. Spaceboy locking Vanya isn't just the incident that turned her, it's just the cherry on top considering how shitty they were raised by Hargreeves and The Rumor 'betraying' her by making her believe she doesn't have any special abilities at a young age. Harold Jenkins used her as well. Even Diego minimized her presence there (although it's a spur of the moment) when they were attacked by Hazel and Cha-Cha in the mansion. She also believes everyone resents her (maybe not Five) because of her tell-all book about them. It's all of those things and more. We can see the trajectory leading up to her becoming the White Violin through the episodes and it's not all on Luther. If anything Hargreeves adopting them, his obsession with the end of the world (kinda hinted he knows what's going to happen) and him being a crappy father started the whole thing. As Number 5 put it, his siblings grew up to be emotionally stunted men-children.

[@Ryan-ue9ve]

@@RandalReid no it hasnt lol, number five never knew vanya was the trigger. They didnt even know she had powers. The handler knew but she didnt say anything except that it was inevitable.

[@RandalReid]

@@Ryan-ue9ve That's not what I meant - I meant that the apocalypse was inevitable as reiterated by both the Handler and Number Five, not that they both knew that Vanya would be the trigger. That part was for the OP. The Handler, sure, she has the resources of the Temps Aeternalis at her disposal but not Five.

Love this show and all the characters especially Aidan of course as Number 5!

[@mernaalshbaiy1551]

THIS IS THE BEST FREAKING SHOW ON NETFLIX AND JUST WANTED TO SAY number five is so cute and handsome ❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰

[@NajeeBri]

Does anybody else wanna know how Ben died ??

[@BananaLettuce]

Najee. Bri THANK YOU!! I’ve been wondering that too!! I’m hoping they answer some questions next season.

[@brandysoto5098]

I was also curious about that so, I did some research. It turns out not even the comics does it say how he died. Ig we'll have to wait and see what the show decides to do with Ben

[@allysonwilson7221]

Katelyn D that was the first chair girl who stopped showing up for practice. When I first watched the episode I thought the same thing.

[@funcats1999]

The answers lie in h.p. lovecrafts novels and the watchmen's reference to it. Ben is that personified/characterized.

[@angelarafiqah2877]

Its just my opinion, he was in costudy, u know what they do with the guy like him at prison

[@anthony-om3iq]

Does anybody find it weird that allison and luther like each other il their not real brother and sister but they were raised as brother and sister and Allison's daughter call him uncle

[@Soap_Details]

Yeah, while I was watching though it I thought the same thing.

[@lainareese5777]

Not really. They didn’t view their father as their father and were raised as individuals in a team, rather than a family. They all knew that they weren’t related, and that the only reason they live under the same roof is for training and control over them. So, no, I don’t think it’s weird. They’re friends rather than siblings, and even then the line is blurred between friends and enemies.

[@RandalReid]

Here's another one, In the comics, Diego is secretly in love with Vanya.

[@commanderhedgehog590]

To be honest I didn’t really view them as a family type of family but rather family in name kind of relationship. They’re separate individuals, but all grew up together and raised together in one household, so they are a family, but I don’t see them as being a blood related type relationship family (not saying they are blood related, but how people view siblings that seem like they are blood related but they aren’t) that you see. So, it’s not weird at all, plus Allison and Luther liked each other as kids so I don’t think they really viewed themselves as a family type of siblings, but a family in name type of siblings if that makes sense.

[@MrStatistx]

@@lainareese5777 exactly this. They weren't really raised as a family and more like a class living in a dorm and thus never build up the whole family relationship mindset

[@blueskye3479]

Character Wise: Number Five- MOST favourite Luther- LEAST favourite Power Wise: Vanya/Allison- MOST favourite Luther- LEAST favourite Idk why i just didn't really like Luther. I mean i did like him at first, but idk what happened, he just became annoying to me.

[@animex7305]

It’s because he kept ruining everything

[@smileywater]

The clothes EXO/BTS wears It would be amazing to have his power. He’s the leader, how isn’t he interesting? Especially when he goes downhill after he finds out about his dad not caring about space.

[@Nova-ru5mm]

he really pissed me off at the end. Most of what happened could have been avoided if he just treated Vanya like a sister rather than an enemy, it drove her to become the person they treated her as. If he truly let Allison go about it her way, I don't think things would have gone as apocalyptic

[@snooberoid]

CROSSx RECON I’m pretty sure the apocalypse is more Luther’s fault than it even was vanya’s but what pissed me off is none of the others apart from Allison seemed to think that (however when she killed pogo I was fucking fuming)

[@cashmoney4274]

Wish vanya was played by someone else

[@flaquito6296]

Dead

[@meiipa]

@@flaquito6296 lol

[@macm.3889]

I was wondering that too! But apparently at the time of recording this, no one was supposed to know who was playing him.

[@lilianal410]

He’s more of a very secondary character in the series so he’s not important at all apart from how he died

[@azlxns]

he'd dead. it'd be spoiling if he's in these interviews

[@suzys8558]

I'm not gonna, lie I was so shocked when Ellen got cast as Vanya cause the costume in the comic is completely different and was so nervous for her. *BUT SHE PULLED IT OFF!!!* I hated/strongly disliked Luther, the amount of air he had annoyed the living daylights out of me there's a lot more but I don't want to be rude, also, it shows how great Tom. But omg, I *LOVED LOVED LOVED* Klaus, I think his name is Robert, great actor, I felt so bad for him and after watching his life story in the graveyard, made me look addicts a lot different. Great cast and Ellen Paige was just amazing. The sisterly love that she had with Allison felt real and just amazing. Diego, I loved Diego, he loved his mother, although he did kill her, but still... everybody makes mmustakes.😅 I loved Ben and Klaus' relationship, they were great, he was incredibly patient with Klaus, caring and incredibly, I hope in season 2(if they will make season 2) we get to see more of him(even if he's back in kid form)... Edit: I *LOVED* #5, lol, my cousin watched the actor on Nick and he is really good. Lol, him and Delores were just adorable to watch, especially when he told the lady in the store to give her something to wear... 😂🤣😅 so awkward and couldn't stop laughing. NETFLIX, bring season 2!!

[@NikoSalapoAle]

I love how doom patrol came out around same time as umbrella academy. I loved umbrella academy so much and wasn’t too disappointed when it ended, because now I get to watch doom patrol!!!

I never realized how TALL Robert was. Great show! I love Klaus and Ben and number Five.

[@beccaalice1514]

Ellen is so lovely she really pays attention to the answers the others give

[@missa9625]

Gerard growing up reading comics and his whole life career kinda sums it all up perfectly: even superheroes can be a little broken inside

[@ilovechips1327]

I really enjoyed the show but, it seems like Ellen Page just plays Ellen Page in every single role she plays.

[@funcats1999]

Yup. But vanya *is* ellen page so it works. But ya definitely an all or nothing casting.

[@haydengallina5554]

Eh I think that is more true lately than it was earlier in her career. Her performance in “Super” was nothing like this and was incredible, however that was about 10 years ago.

[@hollywoodshopaholic]

True, but she's so engaging and charismatic that it works (like Will Smith)

[@DontDoSadness91]

More so lately. It works for her character though and she played badass very well.

[@elfalco101]

You can literally say the same about Klaus but they did a great job

[@thisismissy_shi1142]

I legit just finished the season about 2 days ago and I cried I had an emotional breakdown cuz first it was over and second the cliffhanger...like wow. To someone who hasn't seen Umbrella Academy yet please watch it it's amazing!

Why doesn't five have a name?

[@LeahB31]

He disappeared before their mom assigned names.

[@arianasolorzano3368]

@@LeahB31 no, actually when he first traveled and arrived at the apocalypse he yelled his siblings names so there must be another reason why he wasnt named (or it simply was a script mistake but i doubt it)

[@geneviesanchez8524]

Maybe he didn’t feel connected to his name. Maybe he was so used to being called “5” he just couldn’t stick to the new name his mom gave him. Just my opinion or it could as well be a writer’s mistake.

I love this TV show it shows the kind of thing we go throw when we lose a love one even if we where were stuck in there work sat in an office all day. My favourite one of all 5 is so dramatic and funny in the best way possible but then it all come down to that he is 58 year old being a teenager again.
