      they ended themselves circumstancially because their BIRTH was causing the whole timeline problems thanks to reginald spreading marigold....not because of their trauma...honestly i called it around season 2 that appocalypse was happening because of them in the first place and as soon as they realize they will sacrifice like the heroes they are

      ​@ackerwoman16 There was a way to have them heroically sacrifice themselves, but this was not it. They just kind of gave up while they all hated each other. This ending says that the Umbrella Academy is so messed up that the world be better off if they NEVER even existed. And no one will no of their sacrifice so they have no legacy. Oh, and the fact that they tried to save their family and fight for each other only caused more pain and strife. That's an absurdly cruel ending that undermines the shows core themes.

I’m sure that would’ve saved a ton of money in the costuming budget which could’ve been used elsewhere; For example, the Sloane plotline.

Did you find out Reginald's goals and plans? Or that he's an alien...🤦‍♀️ there wasn't even a timeline! This season is really bad and an insult to pay €9.99 every month

    5:13 Netflix released a few deleted scenes that were supposed to be in s4 (it’s a crime they didn’t make it all in) but the last one is a really touching scene where we get to see Klaus, after being buried alive, go to an AA meeting and sort of, explain himself. I found it really touching and i think without that piece at the end of s4 his story felt incomplete and the loose end of his character was abandoned- so i def recommend giving that deleted scene a watch.

Deal with the trauma, guilt, anger, anxiety and depression of that upbringing. Always thinking they were to blame for faults and problems. Slowly develop new bonds between each other heal each other and grow together. To then say, you know what, you are actually the problem, you are actually the reason why everything is bad, everything is wrong, repeatedly, through every time line for all eternity. The only solution is to erase yourselves from existence. It's just, phew, horrifically damaging and unthoughtful of the writers.

    I'd like to add that Klaus wasn't a germaphobe because he wasn't immortal anymore (or at least not MAINLY because of that). He used EVERYTHING in and out of the book. If he gets sick, he might have to go to a hospital (so many meds in one place so close could be a trigger) and have something prescribed or injected and that could make him fall off the wagon again. I believe most medications would jolt something within him - slippery slope, as they say. He wanted to stay clean for Claire (I loved Uncle Klaus SO MUCH)

    Its insane imo. Every major characters story was either redone, changed to be worse, or outright dropped.
    Not everything needs to be explained but you cant just never talk about Reggies origin or the other powered babies.
    If the Durango needed to mix with the Marigold of the original siblings, why does Sparrow Ben count?
    Did OG Ben never even bother to ask about how he died?
    Abigail really said "its fucked up you brought me back so to pay for my sins im destroying everything?"
    Why did Luther get his Gorilla body back?? His power is super strength, the body was from a surgery. They're completely unrelated.
    Why did Allison suddenly stop using her mind control, gain full blown telekinesis, and barely even use THAT????? And WOW they got over her terrible acts very very fast. What she did to Luther, how she ended season 3. She just ends unredeemed.
    The Five and Lila subplot could have worked if it was hinted at far in advance. We know they knew each other for a long time. We know Five is very quick to fall in love. We know they had nearly 7 full years together with no other contact. But doing it in one and a half episodes, and leaving Five and Deigo hating eachother is insane.
    RIP Sloan i guess nobody really cared for you sorry. Luther instead gets to be one big joke with 0 leadership qualities anymore.
    And Viktor forgiving hargreeves is insane. Hes literally the cause of everything bad in your life come oonnnnnnnnn.
    The plot should have cut jennifer, and made it about having 2 alternate bens in one timeline being the problem that causes everything

    What I don’t understand about S4s ending is why Lila couldn’t escape. In timeline #1, there are about 35 other marigold adults that are not “fusing” to the Durango monster. So if Lila stayed or escaped, the outcome would be the same right? And this is not mentioning the marigold children/adults in ALL the other timelines. Idk why this single timeline where they succumb to the Durango is what it takes to erase ALL the marigold in EVERY timeline. Why didn’t the sparrow academy in a different timeline have to make the same decision? It makes no sense

All that wasted time on side stories that contributed absolutely nothing to the story couldve been used for other things we actually wanted to see. And them breaking Luther's character by making him somehow the happiest and cheeriest he's ever been since the start of the show while working as a stripper, instead seeing him deal with loosing his love. That was a damn crime.

    to me nothing beats Season 2. Diagos hair should i say more? okay the 60's vibe the story picking up in a way we didn't expect being the different years the siblings all arrived and have to find eachother. the relationships being at peak especially when they are at the Tiki bar and even though they are all on the same page they are dysfunctional learning they brought the end of the world back with them was really cool. character growth was written really well between all characters Luther going through a "break up" aliision tackling the old racist ways of that era of time. Viktor finally being able to be happy and falling in love and the dynamic of a relationship between two women for the era of time. Diago feeling the need of approval and going to extremes to make his dad proud but also tell him off. and Klaus who finally learns self acceptance and forgives himself for Ben and that weight taken off his shoulders ( AND ALSO THE CULT ) and five having a conversation with his dad and understanding his powers and what the reason is he wants to save the world being his family. seeing stuff being established with good ol reggie with Pogo and the original human mom was really cool and the music bro i do got to admit the last episode was iffy but season 2 will always be one of my favourites the Swedes funeral was great and the commission aspect and the introduction of Lila and Diago is peak. to see that all ripped away in season 4 hurt

    If I had to make a single change so that the ending wouldn't feel so bitter, it would be to make the Five and Lila plotline happen a little earlier. Imagine if Five found the Five Diner WHILE he was lost. Maybe even before something happens between him and Lila. Then, we would have him know that they were doomed in the middle of all the romantic development, not after the heartbreak. With that, their relationship has a little more weight, since he can offer to stay knowing how fruitless their endeavor really is, AND it also gives the audience a little more time to accept that ending it all is the only option. We would have more time to grieve along with the characters, more time to develop their goodbyes, and also more time to maybe solve the sibling conflict or realize nothing matters, idk. I just feel that it would have given the more egregious plotlines a bit more purpose.

    ** OBVIOUS SPOILER ALERT**
    I am in no way a die hard umbrella academy fan. But I appreciate the nuances and witty dialogue...and how the characters are each unique yet mesh well together.
    especially Five..he hard carry the show in trying to 'save the world'. and it was funny to see how an 'old man' is stuck in a young boy's body with his old man antics.
    but when:
    => Five ended up kissing u know who I was like wait wait hold up wtf is this?!? is this even necessary?! I had to google to ensure we are not seeing some underaged issue here. but still.. HOW IS THIS RELEVANT?! what about him being all so "all for my family" and now he is basically slapping his bro in the face.
    => the whole marigold issue of them sacrificing themselves when one of them could totally 'manipulate' marigold? like ahem ahem. better to go down tgt than sacrificing one is it?
    your point about Klaus was exactly what I felt. the character build up and then everything was lost?
    It just felt like the whole 3 seasons build up to a mediocre ending...

    I have a strong suspicion that a lot of S4 was written by AI, likely due to the writers strike. S4 spent and wasted a massive amount of time on meaningless fluff (Klaus sidequest, Five/Lila affair) while forgetting to include context from or answer unanswered questions from the previous seasons. Literally like a convo with ChatGPT. Another promising series flopped by Hollywood 😑

Leaves them for 6 years, doesn't talk about missing her kids or husband once in that time, then make out with her husbands brother??? Nah fuck off this was just insulting.

    Everything wrong with Season 4
    1. Klaus did nothing all season
    2. Klaus never found out how ben died
    3. No cool fight scenes
    4. Five and Lila
    5. Five and Diego having a 'broken marriage'
    6. Some characters having power ups, others nothing new at all
    7. No pogo
    8. Giant squid never explained
    9. Reggie and wife backstory not explored enough at all
    10. Meh CGI
    11. It literally ended with all of it being for nothing since they couldn't save themselves
    12. Five getting with Lila was so out of character after 6 years when he fucked a mannequin for like 30 years
    13. Five died thinking Diego hated him
    14. Five died thinking Lila just used him
    15. No Ray or Sloane after they were super important in S2 and S3
    16. No explanation on the time travelling subway or the secret room in hotel oblivion
    17. Why was Abigail put to sleep on the moon?
    18. Alison just gets forgiven? Its never talked about
    19. Luther was literally an astronaut in season 1 now hes dumb as hell?
    20. They are reborn as flowers with marigold coming out of them? The whole point was to destroy all marigold so it wouldn't happen again?
    21. How does one timeline of no marigold fix all the other timelines with all the 40 odd people with marigold
    22. Ben meets Jennifer and is instantly in love????
    23. Ben never gets to say goodbye
    24. Why did Abigail wait 6 years to help the siblings get their powers back and start her plan?
    25. Not one sibling got a satisfying ending

    What I've been wondering is that they needed to get rid of the Marigold in the 8 main characters in order to end the cycle of world ending, but did the universe reset get rid of the Marigold in all 43 children? Did those other children with the marigold in them live still, like Korean Ben? Does that mean all the marigold having to be destroyed didn't really need to be all the marigold?

    When I saw season 4 had come out on Netflix, I had not seen any trailers or news about, no rating with the stupid tomatoes, and no public opinion. So I really went into the final season with Nothing but love for the show as I like all previous seasons. So when I "finished" the show (haven't finished the last ep yet) I kinda enjoyed it with some parts that I didn't like (Lila and five for example) and did like ( ep 2 ) but tbh everything else is starting to fade away since it doesn't feel memorable. I like Ron Swanson and his wife but didn't feel truly connected like it would have been cool to see them in kahoots with Mr Hargreaves but no but thats okay

    I can understand the ending they wanted but it made the whole show pointless for rewatching. (other than nostalgic enjoyment)
    I think the twist would of been better if it wasn't a multiverse but whenever 5 blinked into the past or a different timeline, they were creating new versions. (which would explain 5 getting his arm cut off and getting the tattoo in season 3.)
    S1: What was the point of Reginald ending his own life?
    Why did Klaus stay dead in the apocalypses?
    Klaus and Ben NEVER talked about how he died? REALLY?
    Vanya never asked about how ben died or never noticed how obviously brain washed they were?
    S2:
    What was the point of our 5 telling his past self the right coordinates?
    S3:
    What was the point of Stanley and his leaky ears?
    What was the point of Klaus overcoming his powers?
    God I hate Allison. Her only redeeming feature is how talented the actress is. (It was her first tv show btw.)

      Yes! I mean, Five fought Lila while she was naked in that S3 scene where she'd been in the bath in the Hotel Obsidian, but there was no hint of sexual tension in the fight scene (maybe because of Aidan's age?) And I know that the characters lived through 13 years after that, but for us watching it, those years were mostly skipped over. there was that "Six years later" skipping over all the characters' lives with just a few lines of summary, and then "We were stuck in the subway for seven years" for Five and Lila but giving us only one episode to take that in... Oh, maybe Lila wiping food off Five's face in the cafe was supposed to be a hint? But it seemed like we were meant to think that was a ridiculous idea, Diego was worrying about nothing, Lila and Five were just focused on the Keepers and Gene & Jean...
