The Umbrella Academy

Just realised there’s never been a thread for this. Final season is dropping in a couple months.

I have enjoyed the show, and the cast of dysfunctional misfit characters. Curious to see how they wrap it up, if that's even possible.
I'm guessing while most everything will seem satisfyingly resolved and at peace, I don't think that's ever an implied endgame for this family, and they will still leave it open ended, [despite it all seemingly wrapped up].
Either aware of it or not, for better or worse, with one possible threat or glitch still hanging over their lives, and the timeline.

As far as figures, I think boss fight made a (well intentioned though somewhat clunky) first wave ...

They should have gone for series figures, yet more stylized, based on Gabriel Bá's art.

Depends if it’s a true final season or a Netflix mandated “final season” where they rush to wrap it up because it was soft cancelled.

Machine-gun Santa is sensational!

Viktor beating on Ben? Wouldn't be Umbrellas without the glorious disfunctionldrazz:

Is that^ Sloan with Hargreeves?

Who is the rescue mission for?
Mother - could she still exist in some form, in this "new" time-line?
Alt Reginald's wife - ?
Sloan if that is her above - (can't remember what happened to her last season? Was she intentionally wiped, Alison? disappeared?) need a rewatch), would Ben's -"let's go kill this b!%$#"- be a holdover from time with the Sparrows seen as intrusive?:funny:
Diego & Lila's possible daughter?
Someone else new?

It's weird Ben's tentacles now emerge from his back (more like Doc-Ock) rather than from his gut.
Or have they they been able to switch before?

.

Lol Spaceman Luther to heavy for the bench, pockets full of cash. That Diego "action" pose as usual ridiculous. Alison cleaning house? Or is that her own product brand? Klaus, (dry cleaning bag + I'm afraid to ask? Five, coffee for the kid not any more.
Can not figure out what is on Lila's bench? Or name tag? Reginald (panspermia jar?)

On the sign, first train line is their corresponding numbers. + L for Lila, H for Hargreeves

What a terrible ending. Absolutely ruined all of the characters.

 

[Mondragon]

Somewhat fizzled out, though I'm fine with it (not that it made much sense, but never expected it too), utimatley this families endless cycle of universe-end-repeat, was destined to implode, and only way to stop it, was go out a beautiful dysfunctional mess, no mater what they did, it's who they were, to the very last.
There was no happy-ever-after resolution for these a-holes, it was never in the cards.
This seemed an appropriate end for them.

Nah, it was garbage.

I’d recommend people not even waste their time watching it.

tbh the show lost me with that ridiculous Vanya->Viktor arc. So clumsily written it looked like a community theatre workshop.
