It's not clear that "young" five actually have "old" five the correct calculations. He said he did, but I don't totally believe him. Though it seems like time travel in Umbrella Academy is not circular, so there may be a ton of branches of the timeline with various different scenarios.

Luther allowing the two fives to manipulate him makes sense for his character.

It feels like people are forgetting that the thesis of this whole show is that these are all emotionally broken children who are making bad choices related to trauma. Their father saw their journey as "put aside your humanity, be objective, stop making the bad choices, and be smarter than you are vulnerable." but that is ultimately the mindset that destroyed their emotional maturities. They have these images of heroes over them, but they aren't those people. They aren't super heroes by nature, they're children with powers. The show is a case study on the fallout of emotional neglect. They don't stop being the humans that they are just because they learned a lesson. Luther is emotionally impulsive and gullible because he spent all his time, even in to his adult life, without relationships, taking the words of one man as gospel. He never really had to deal with negative emotions because he never gave himself the personhood to do so. Of course he would listen to whichever stern authoritative Five is talking to him, because he' a non-skeptical person. Of course he reacts dramatically to his emotional impulses, because he's never felt any of these ways before. And of course he cares about pleasing his stern authoritative new boss and doesn't want to risk his place as somebody's #1 to fight another apocalypse. Diego's Jfk obsession isn't him "fighting the plot" he didn't even know about the apocalypse before he let it destroy his sanity. He was latching on to the most important thing in the world at the time because he needs to be important. He's broken. When Diego starts associating the apocalypse with the assassination, it is clearly portrayed as him being irrational. It's why he takes such pride in being scouted by the organization, because it means he's high on the food chain of importance. He levels out when he feels like he's doing important things. The show is also constantly portrayed by unreliable narrators. Five isn't the authority on time travel, he's constantly wrong about a lot of things, and it's pretty clear that the show's rules on time travel are "time changes it doesn't split, there's no back to the future disappearing, paradoxes are a joke that we literally explain as a medical condition, don't worry about it" but Five, in all his arrogance, has to feel like he knows all the rules to everything, so he wastes their time doing something dumb. These siblings are not who they need to be. If they were, this show would be over pretty quick. The villains are portrayed as, more or less, pretty average people. It's about the recovery process. It's not about power levels and tactics.

I honestly hate how 5’s siblings were treating him this season. They were taking the apocalypse so lightly after everything five did to try to stop it. They were blaming him for getting them scattered across time when he could have left them to all die and just save himself but he didn’t. They were also treating him like he did understand how hard their lives are when he saw his siblings die 3 times and got stuck alone in the apocalypse for 45 years. In season 3 they can’t really blame five for the messed up timeline since he found a way for them to get back to their timeline and stop both of the apocalypses if they just made the time limit that was set on the briefcase.

I had 2 big take aways from this seaons. 1: Ben has apparently been attached to Klaus since the day he died without a way to communicate with anyone for years at a time, including Klaus because his powers barely functioned when he was high. He has also aged in ghost form from teen to adulthood. He seems to have the least amount of trauma, perhaps because death freed him from Hargreaves. So I am very curious what bangs Ben will be like. 2: Alison could have grabbed a bullhorn and changed the phrase "I have a dream" in MLK speech to "I heard a rumor" and speed the Civil Rights movement up by like 30 years. The fact that she was willing to interfere with history but not enough to make the most meaningful impact was frustrating.

It was too close not to be on purpose though so it probably means something that I'm not seeing lol (Also sad that Hazel was just gone in the first few minutes of the first episode, hoping to see more of him, and the lack of violin with Vanya was annoying, kind of understandable with the memory loss but they could have still worked that in, it's a big part of her character)

They falter in some of these things from time to time, but all in all they stood by it. Now, these people actually come together and act like a family. This is a major change that actually makes them win for once! Mostly. I agree it was similar at first, but became a much more different and ended very differently. Just my little ol opinion

He's experiencing moving on his own for the first time as himself. He's meeting people, eating outside, wallowing in his feelings. He felt accepted by Ruby and he was told by Diego's landlord that he's a good fit for boxing. Allison thought they were all dead. She was back in time for a year. She lost her voice and her family was gone. The era that isn't welcoming for her either. She didn't think she'd get back to the present but when Luther said they can go back the first thing she mentioned was Claire.

They don't go into exhaustive detail but we see why he targeted the old lady and how he was able to convice her community that he was a prophet. We hear through Ben, who calls him a Narcissist, that many of his followers gave up thier money and wealth to follow him. Klaus at the start of the story has just gotten bored with being a cult leader and I suspect he may even be disappointed with himself (since he knows the love of his life would not approve).

It never really got resolved. He never redeemed himself nor was he condemned for creating a completely bullshit cult because he's a narcissistic hedonist. I wonder if the writers were making a joke of that, considering the cultists disbelieving when he says he's a fraud (which, I haven't been in any cults, but didn't seem remotely believable), but the alternative is that it's a major plot hook for season 3. For the most part, though, Klaus doesn't grow an inch from where he got to by the end of season 1. If anything, it felt like he traded his alcoholism for being abusive to Ben, which, again, he was never punished for nor apologized about.

Ben's decision to take advantage of Klaus' body. Complicated choice. Understandable that he was so overwhelmed w/ having a body again, understandable that he was in love with the girl and would never have any other opportunity to interact with her. Understandable that he wanted to make sure that Klaus' made it to the meet up as to 1) not be left behind and further screw up the timeline, and 2) not mess things up for his siblings. Not understandable that he continued to fight to stay in Klaus' body when he had arrived at the meeting spot, fighting so forcibly against Klaus' will that Klaus literally threw up in order to eject Ben from his body, because, yes, Ben probably just wanted to continue to experience the world again, but that is a very selfish reason to straight up violate another person, and go against their will, as if it's less important than his own/ I would like to state that i love Ben, and absolutely agree that he is very distracting indeed, and is, like, the best among the family, but also, this: bad decision. In my opinion.

About the Luther's strength being an inconsistency, I might be wrong but isn't the first scene of him taking a missile to his back showcases his invulnerability more so than his super strength? In comics those things go hand in hand usually but lack of strength has nothing to do with his invulnerability.

I feel he did lose powers with the ape thing. When he was a child he could lift a full grown man with one hand. He never shows that kind of strength again, though he has more resistance with his monkey body I guess. But we see his true powers when they where used by someone else and casually tossed him aside

The problem is that their whole arc in the comics is based around that. They _tried_ to tone it down for the show, and ended up ruining both characters. Allison is not super sane, and Luther takes the brunt of it. If you remove their fondness for each other, there is almost no character left. So much so that the writers didn't even try to make Luther fight his daddy issues, they just turned him into a manchild comedic relief, and they gave Allison another love interest because they couldn't think of anything else for her.

@Quilo Sky there's a difference between not mentioning her and showing no signs of missing her. Even a lingering glance on a mother and child or hearing the name Claire and then turning knowing in your sensible brain she isn't there, but feeling pulled to look anyway. In fiction there are a lot of ways to indicate lingering feelings of missing someone without it being a blatent long drawn out conversation with another character or even a "verbal" mention.

@Quilo Sky I have mixed feelings about it. Overall, I adored this season. And I HATE when time travel shows ignore problems like racisim or homophobia and I thought both were handled well. That being said, I can agree when I found a plot point lacking and this was a bit of a lack and fail.

I'm personally just hoping that Ben being gone will finally kick Klaus into some tasty tasty character development. Without Ben being there to scold Klaus and always give him an outlet/audience for his thoughts, I imagine Klaus will be pretty fucked up. Though, I'm hoping it'll make him realize that he needs to be the one to fix up his life. I love Klaus with all my heart and I'd love to see him vow to not lose another person close to him!! His recovery could be a super super interesting character arc if handled well.

aside from a few things i think this is pretty great assessment of their choices. the 'few things' are.. literally everything to do with klaus and ben. because klaus wasn't the only one who was an asshole this season (s;df;ds genuinely accidental rant ahead. i clearly haven't gotten this out of my system yet) ben isn't a soft perfect marshmallow - no matter how attractive he absolutely is. he's a hargreeves. he's an asshole. and he was horrible to klaus. like yeah klaus didn't treat ben great but /ben didn't treat klaus great either/. his attitude, the way he talks about klaus's relationship with dave as well as klaus's actions - which weren't "rekindling" attempts. they were "i need to save his life" attempts. and though they weren't executed well his intentions were actually selfless. but ben is pissed he can't stare at a girl he likes so he's a dick about his brother's real and literally life changing relationship. not that ben having a crush wasn't cute and all but he's dead. jill doesn't know he exists. there is literally no way for them to work (unless she dies). there's nothing that can come of staying around her. so like..stare at a girl i like and daydream vs. try to save the life of my past/future boyfriend even though it could ultimately end in us never meeting. not exactly on the same level. so while some of klaus's actions are selfish: this?? not one of them. this was a point where ben was being selfish. not only for what i literally just talked about but also for trying to demand klaus stay somewhere he clearly wasn't comfortable. the cult wasn't a fabulous idea but i do think it happened on accident and it spiraled out of control quickly. klaus doesn't like being surrounded by people - for 1. he's claustrophobic (hello mausoleum and motel closet) and for 2. the followers were literally acting like ghosts, the way they were to him in s1. him managing to stay sober doesn't mean the ghosts were any less terrifying in the 60s. it was just never talked about (and THAT is a writers mistake. it's like they completely forgot about klaus's powers for most of the season. they forgot about a lot of klaus related things actually and im gonna be pissed about it until s3 i'm sure lmfao) but my BIGGEST issue with ben, which is also one of my biggest issues with the entire season, is the possessions. the first time was an accident, neither of them knew that could happen, so it was whatever. but he does it again without klaus's consent at the light supper (which ends up being the final nail in the coffin of their Family Conversation because of the episode it caused) and clearly thinks nothing of it, and then threatens to do it /another/ time as soon as klaus lets his guard down. because klaus has already told him no several times. that's scary /and/ gross. and then he badgers/guilts klaus enough that he finally agrees to let ben possess him, for a short period of time. and there's a couple things that bother me about the stuff that happens next but the worst is that he gets to talk to jill.. and then refuses to give klaus his body back. klaus has to literally vomit him out (which is fucking disgusting) and ben thinks there isn't a single thing wrong with *gestures at all of this topic* and i'm partially pissed at ben for it but also the writers really made him like that huh. s1 ben was a dick but he cared about klaus's well-being on some level. s2 ben is like "klaus rights who?? what??" and i know they wanted to show their friendship disintegrating but jesus. christ. ALL THAT SAID - ben's scene with vanya inside the violin inside her mind broke my heart and all i could do was stare in like.. weird horror / sadness, between the fact that they really did such a thing. killing a ghost. and ben's speech; letting vanya know she's cared about and she isn't alone. "you're not a monster. you're my sister" I CANT. and while i wish he'd been able to have a proper goodbye with klaus i can see why they didn't give us that - or give klaus that - and i do like what they did, with ben's last words to him taking away guilt he knows klaus has been holding onto for 17+ years. there's a lot of theories on how that, along with ben being gone in general, is gonna fuck klaus up even more in s3 and i am both Ready and Not Ready At All lmfao And, even though i'm sure it's really obvious by now lmfao, my favorite main character is klaus. He was my favorite in s1 and remained so in s2 (though they definitely fucked him over some this season. however.. that could tie into his arc for s3. so. i'm holding out hope that the decisions the writers made will all mean something eventually). My favorite side character is.. harder to pick. There were a lot of ones to love this season. Dave, Ray, Sissy, Elliot, Lila. And Carmichael! It's so sad we didn't get more of him. I know he's comission so he's bad but... he goldfish sdfjsdl And I of course have watched the season.. a couple of times now actually. Because while I don't love everything about it there's so much that IS fantastic (like how it's generally in character and it's fun and the music choices are perfect) but also.. i waited too long for this season, with endless excitement, just to drown myself in the things i didn't like yknow?? That would suck - to let myself ruin my favorite show for me. Wrapping up this nonsense with saying again that every other character judgement was great. I really can't think of anything you said that didn't have me nodding my head over here. AND the video was overall entertaining - you have a way of presenting your opinions that's a lot of fun to watch, whether i agree with you or not, so thank you for sharing your takes with us!
