It was rather touching to get a glimpse into his time on the moon, but ultimately this season did not do him any justice.Įqually, Viktor’s regret and focus on rectifying leaving Sissy and Harlan behind felt like a really soft serve. After falling head over heels for Sloane, he’s reduced back to the same hopeless character from Season 1, but at least he’s not alone. We don’t even see him show his abilities this season, except in the first tussle with the Sparrows. The lovable idiot trope is about as tiring as having another apocalypse to face. The heart makes the brain numbĪlthough Luther ( Tom Hopper ) and Sloane ( Genesis Rodriguez ) have a sudden entanglement after their first couple of meetings, it’s a bit infuriating seeing Luther useless yet again. All we know is their different handling gave us two outcomes, a dead Ben and Sparrow Ben (alive) who feels some guilt and may have received his demotion to Number Two in that “failure.” I doubt we get a full answer on that mission soon, but finally mentioning it was a nice nod to the comics. In a couple of mentions and a desk drawing, there is the topic of what happened to Umbrella Ben and the vagueness gives little insight into what the “Jennifer Incident” was. Right – Comic panel of Diego / “Kraken” for reference Left – Diego and Lila look at Stan’s slushee cup as he disintegrates from the Kugelblitz. Which is made worse by shifting the guilt onto Viktor about Harlan accidentally taking out the Umbrella Academy’s mothers. Having Viktor ( Elliot Page ) once again be the cause of even more destruction felt tiring. This felt like a huge distraction and the story lingered for too long. Harlan now aged-up and motherless ( Callum Keith Rennie) makes a significant reappearance and is a literal force to be reckoned with. Between a hilarious “wreck” of a training montage in mastering his powers, to his conversation with Stan where he has the greatest self-realizations, I thoroughly enjoyed the moments between Klaus and Reginald which helped him in the literal sense of overcoming ghosts in a graveyard. Robert Sheehan as Klaus continues to carry more than half of the emotions of this show single-handedly. The dismissal scene with Pogo absolutely devastated me, and the handing of pills from Pogo to Jake Epstein’s Alphonso was a second dagger to my heart. The actions of the Hargreeves in Dallas paid more than one price, Colm Feore as Sir Reginald took his encounter in the 60s with his first class as a sign to adopt different children. His attitude is also a huge departure from what audiences grew attached to in the first two seasons. ![]() For starters, he’s elevated in his position as Number Two versus his lowly Number Six. Minh’s Ben steps forward, radically different from the caring and lovable Umbrella Ben. ![]() Further complications arise when a new version of Justin H. ![]() ![]() One where they don’t exist and have been replaced by a different roster, the Sparrow Academy. This go-round they have now managed to create a new timeline. It seems as if the Hargreeves only manage to make things worse, every time. Either way, let us know what you think about the series in the comments or on Twitter. Netflix recently released the entirety of The Umbrella Academy season 3, and I have some thoughts to share, including a few mixed feelings about it.
