In reference to “vanya wasn’t this good at violin before”. Think about it. They didn’t just wipe her memory of her powers. They had her believe she’s ordinary. So that meant in everything she did she did it ordinarily. That includes violin. She’s always had it in her to be amazing at it, but never could because of Allison’s powers. It’s much sadder when you realize it was more than a memory wipe.

[@jumpinthecadillac9507]

not to mention playing an instrument isn't just technical stuff. you have to feel it. and her emotions were muted like all the time to surpress her powers, so it was like she was always playing it mechanically, no matter how much she liked playing it. when you're a professional at an instrument, you can tell when someone's feeling it. to me, it sounds amazing anyway, but i know there's a difference, yk?

To be fair, Vanya isn’t just acting out because she had a bad childhood. Her “meds” suppressed her emotions so she has the same emotional control she had as a 4-year-old plus 25 extra years of trauma. She had a full break/w reality when her eyes were glowing which is why she was flipping cars and crumbling buildings but then went to her concert like it was any other night. It’s also why she was so convinced she loved Leonard and why she acted out so violently against Allison and then immediately regretted it. She spent her whole life feeling numb and neglected bc she was being drugged and abused then she met Leonard and he stole her “meds” and was nice to her and for the first time she started feeling happy. As far as she could tell, that was love and she didn’t want to let go of it bc then she’d go back to that awful nothingness. She didn’t realize it was being off the drugs that was causing the change, not Leonard. And then when she found out that Reginald made Allison do the thing that caused so much of her trauma and pain throughout her entire life, she freaked out and since she couldn’t exactly yell at a dead man, she yelled at Allison instead. And then Allison messed up and tried to use her powers on Vanya which would’ve been really triggering bc that’s exactly what screwed her up her whole life, so Vanya lost it and lashed out. She clearly didn’t mean for that to happen but she’s a severely traumatized person/w barely 2-3 years of practice controlling her emotions and she has unspeakably powerful abilities that are tied to said emotions. It’s a recipe for disaster.

[@lstarsabb]

Reggie wasn't just a horrible father but a horrible human being. Vanya was the most powerful but because he couldn't control her he made her and her siblings think she was the "normal" sibling and was less than the rest of them and then expect for her to be okay with that?

[@Megramia288]

@@lstarsabb well he's not a human being, which is what that episode with the violin was showing. He was leaving his home planet. His not being human might explain his behavior a bit. I don't really know.

[@teekessel]

Random thought. If the meds suppressed her emotions, why did she cry so easily at ants being killed as a child?

[@calliemacedo]

1:26:10 klaus is ranked pretty fairly once you realize the numbers aren't from more to least important but from least to more dangerous. luther was probably made the "leader" bc his powers probably affected him the least since he was just really strong, no being haunted by gruesome ghosts or edritch monster in your stomach or the power to cause the apocalypse

[@calliemacedo]

this also checks out with like how much it messed them up. vanya lived her entire life numb and depressed without being able to be more than ordinary at anything, only to then destroy the world. ben died young (pretty sure in the comics it's said it was due to his powers) and before that was clearly uncomfortable w the monster inside him. five used his powers wrong ONCE and got stuck in the apocalypse for decates. klaus has struggled with addiction since he was at least a tween to deal with the trauma and send away the spirits. and allison abused her powers which made her lose custody of her child. diego and luther are, well, not very well adjusted or emotionally intelligent. basically the greater the power the greater the responsibility, i love it.

[@gwinnellheald8592]

Yeah! As soon as I looked at them in opposite order I realized they were ranked in opposite order of dangerous ability. Reginald probably did that to avoid an ego on the more dangerous kids I reckon

The thing that makes The Umbrella Academy so good, is the videography and how well the characters are written. The happy music in literally all the fight scenes, the dancing, the use of lighting, the clear differences in each character making them all interesting, likeable and hateable at the same time, the morals being all over the place, making you doubt your own morals and whether something is right or wrong. The Umbrella Academy is a masterpiece, and I’m pretty sure any English teacher would have a hoot trying to analyze every single scene and use of every single song, line and prop.

[@yoitsme5640]

@@baileym8303 that’s my exact ranking too lmao

[@alphastormeex9468]

I think Five and Klaus are the most compelling to a wide audience because the sides of them they show as people more than any of the other characters exist in two very different but not at odds places. This makes them more complex. They both act in ways that are illegal or immoral and have severe flaws, yet at the same time they are relatable in their vulnerability, we see their human experiences and trauma as they show feelings that give the "bad" things they do and say more context. Makes them more intriguing and approachable. Imo

[@jumpinthecadillac9507]

yeah, to us it sounds horrible. but she didn't start like that, she didn't start by manipulating people's feeling and thoughts. when it's gradual like it was to her, it's just normal. we like to think we wouldn't do the same, but if i had a cheatcode of life and no consequences for using it... her powers were powered down from the hq but they're still pretty damn strong

[@anycullen21]

@@jumpinthecadillac9507 I wouldn't use it that way. Maybe to others to protect my kid, or to get a well payed job, but never to make a man love me. Not only its horrible but its not real. And I know the thought would eat at me, not just hurt my feelings but also its humiliating, not being able to seduce a man on my own, without powers.

[@yasminemixon5458]

vanya was a 4 year old girl who had powers. i think all 4 year olds would kill a few people if they had powers. its up to the parents to raise your child right and teach them empathy and hurting people is wrong. reggie was a horrible parent and thats why vanya turned out the way she did.

[@aidenhallowell3819]

@@yasminemixon5458 Vanya was older than 4 at that time, she knew what she was doing she just didn't care. Though you are correct and Reggie's parenting skill were and always was dog shit and he could have tried actually caring about her instead of trying to fix and control her. He could have made Allison rumor vanya into behaving or at least to stop killing people but no made her think she wasn't important and expected her to be fine excluded from her own family and siblings always alone. Yeah that is why she turned out how she did

Diego's line "Cute butt, nice legs". He wasn't being shallow; he was making a jab at Five and Delores. When Five asks Diego what he liked about Patch, he is cradling Delores and looking at her face. Diego stares at them and then names two stereotypical attractive body parts that Five's "girl" doesn't have being half a mannequin. He's just throwing shade.

There is actually a theory that the numbers the kids were assigned also shows their strengths. Vanya being 7 (the strongest) and Luther being 1 (weakest) of the group. Which makes sense.

Kids are people too - what Allison did to her daughter (and yes, to the husband too) was depriving her of any free will. It wasn't just a parent disciplining a child, it was a parent abusing her power in order to control the mind and body of the child so she would do what her mother wanted. Allison has abused her powers in many parts of her life, and she was so used to always getting what she wanted, that she abused it in the household too, against the people who should be able to trust her without a doubt. It's a question of morality and body autonomy. If you had a partner acting like that, wouldn't you want a restraining order against her for your and your kid's well-being? And when you realize that Alison forced her husband to be in love with her > that's straight up SA. They had a kid together and the reason they did was bc she rumored him to love her. This is just the plain fact, it's not a matter of demonizing Allison but understanding her character. I feel like the true gravity of her abuse of power passed under many people's radar, which is why they don't understand her character arc in future seasons.
