So I just finished the first season of The Umbrella Academy, here my thoughts :) :
-Five x Dolores and Hazel x Agnès are the best relationships of this show and I take no criticisms.
-Still hating Luther x Allison, I was happy the last episodes didn't have the time to focus on their "romance" because of the apocalypse, the apocalypse is much more enjoyable to watch :)
-The lack of respect and recognition Vanya and Klaus get physically hurt me. At least Vanya gets to explore a little bit her relationship with Allison but Klaus is been constantly step on and ignored, it really hurt me :( especially when he is doing so much efforts for fight against his addiction and the other still considering he is just high and with nothing important to say.
-Vanya becomes emo and my brain goes brrrrrrr.
-I wasn't a fan of Luther character since the beginning but I was doing efforts because he is fucked up like the other. But I seriously hate is attitude, he always tries to control everything, makes bad decisions and, in particular the thing I hate the most, he always uses his superior force to get and do what he wants. It's awful. Even if he thinks he does the best for his family I think he is just kind of abusive. He doesn't take criticisms or let them choices and physically holds them back to go against his own will. The worst exemple is when he locks up Vanya in the cell and let her imprisoned even when the majority (Diego, Allison and Klaus) isn't OK with that and stopped them to free her multiple times until they have to give up. I truly hope his behavior will change in season 2 because for now I seriously consider he is one of the most important cause of Vanya's snap.
-I wasn't sad when Pogo die, sorry not sorry :)
-Is this motherfucker of Reggie is an alien?? I didn't understand his flashbacks.
-Ben's screen time YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH. I love Ben. When I first saw him I though he will be a kind of Jiminy Cricket for Klaus, and sometimes he is, but most of the time he just has the same chaotic energy 😂😂😂. The scene when Klaus thrown a bowling ball at him and he didn't catch it I swear his Pikachu chocked face was so funny. Now that the other FINALLY believe Klaus I hope to see him even more in season 2.
-Personal preference but I miss the old "faint of exhaustion" trope in this series. It's just on of my favorite and it usually work well with superpowers intrigues. It's maybe kinda bullshit to see Vanya, Klaus or Five doing insane things they never do before and just be like "I'm fine, what a piece of cake :)".
-I liked Patch, sad that she died.
-I hope more parallelisms between Five and the Comission's bitch, I think they can be a good illustration of "same beginning but different paths" .
-Good to see you dead Leonard/Harold, I will not miss you :)
-I still don't know how Ben died and I want answers!
Reginald’s journal entry s1 e7
I noticed that no-one had posted about what the journal entry we see Harold flip to in s1 e7 so I thought I’d transcribe since I’m rewatching it anyway (no image soz since Netflix doesn’t allow screenshots)
0.04 Conjuring incident 06/16/01
I found that number four was simply not progressing in his abilities to conjure the non-living. He seems to not want to embrace this power. I sped up that ability tonight by locking him in the mausoleum overnight. Hypothetically he is seeing gore and death, but to be affective he must become desensitised to this.
Notes from incident
Klaus resistant
More fearful than I’ve ever seen him
Trying to squeeze himself through gated bars. Appears to be seeing if he has another super power he doesn’t know about.
0:36 Appears to have made first contact with dead spirits
(Harold’s hand is blocking the rest of the page)
Thanks to @fiyero3305 for filling in blanks!
i just miss s1 of umbrella academy so much it’s a problem
i love rewatching the umbrella academy because i notice new things every time. for example, Diego had quite the bad attitude episode one. he was really just trying to pick fights with people all the time. it’s strange, because he’s one of my favorite characters now and i guess he must have changed over the course of the seasons.
another thing i noticed: five and viktor had a really good relationship from the beginning. in episode 2 when it shows young five arguing with reginald about time travel, he kind of looks to viktor for what im assuming is guidance? of course, he doesn’t listen. but still. also, when he jumps forward and sees the post-apocalyptic world, the first name he calls is vanya, and he also tells viktor about the apocalypse before any of the other siblings
