I Just Want To Give Characters That Are Important To Me A Deserved Ending - Tumblr Posts

I’m actually so pissed about season four of The Umbrella Academy, like it was kinda atrocious. Was the whole different dimension train thing cool? Yes. Was sober Klaus one of my favorite things ever? Yes. Was there genuinely so much more potential for the cult thing? Yes!

But over all there were massive plot holes and aspects about characters that seemed to have been completely forgotten. It almost feels like when a kid has four pages of an easy left and after trying to hard and too long they just give up and make chat gpt take over the rest.

It felt like the makers of the show felt like they just needed to get things over with so instead of attempting a satisfying ending we got half assed “And then they all died 🫤 …. But everything else was a-ok! 🙃”

And from a viewer standpoint that is a very frustrating thing, especially because in seasons prior we got to see these characters actually adapt and grow around each other like any other good show. They learned from their mistakes and achieved new abilities. This season however I feel like by episode 3 or 4 they all just reverted into half baked stereotypes of their actual personalities.

Sorry, I’m rambling. Point is, characters and their quirks are extremely important to me they are to everyone, they make the story happen. So to see them dissolve into weaker distorted versions of themselves it makes me sad.
