Has anyone finished watching season 2?
Umbrella Academy Season 2 trailer/topic.
- Thread starter Mage
- Start date
I just finished it. Enjoyed every episode.
Enjoyed it a lot. I too have a preference for the second season and agree that the actor who plays Five does a very good job.
That was a lot of fun. I think the season 1 plot was a little tighter overall, though.
So, how does the numbering work? Were they numbered according to the order they were adopted or by their position in the team and if so could they have been renumbered at some point? That would've been confusing...

I'm having a hard time getting through this season.
Its not terrible or anything, but it doesn't keep my attention as well as the first season.
We just spent most of Season 1 doing the "family has to get together" trope, and then Season 2...is just that, again. Sure, it has completely different main story and a lot of different subplots, but I am tired of seeing these characters act like they did in early Season 1. Klaus's character regression is especially infuriating, he's actually worse in this season then he was starting Season 1.

To me, it seems that they are numbered by theIr power.....least important to most powerful but I am probably wrong.
I agree that Aidan Gallagher is a very good actor especially for his age. He is so believable as a 58 year old man trapped in 13 year old body, However I think they might have to find a way to age Number 5 if the show goes on after the next season.

I believe this is how it works in the comics. Reginald numbered them according to the strength of their powers, with 1 being the lowest and 7 the highest. Kinda makes Luther and Diego arguing about the Number One thing even funnier.
Reginald numbered them by their "usefulness," implied heavily to be their willingness to do what he wants. Number One is told he's the leader, but he's only the leader because he's a good little yes-man. And I would argue that Number Three (The Rumor) is considerably more powerful than Number Five, at least from a practical standpoint.
Number Five's power in the comics is purely time travel. He only learns teleporting from the Temps Aeternalis (what the show calls the Commision), and in the comic it's a time based power, not space. He is making tiny jumps through time, and thus appearing to move faster than the human eye can see.
Number Four (The Seance) is both way more capable and has a much greater variety of abilities in the comic. He's probably the second most powerful of the group as children, after Three.
Number Seven is part of the deception. Designed to reinforce the fact that Vanya is utterly useless and without any special value whatsoever.
I haven't read the comics, but it seems that there have been essentially three stories published. We've already seen versions of two of them--what does that mean for a possible Season 4 of the series?
I am finding it kind of cool that when I watched Season1 it was under the radar a bit and now it has gone mainstream.

The rumor mill has it that a fourth volume is coming forthwith. Possibly delayed by Covid and the related struggles in the comics industry. But almost certainly before a third season of the show could be completed. Sounds like they would have plenty of time to take ideas from it for a fourth season.
Even then, they've pretty much adapted the series in the same style as the MCU, taking beats and broad strokes and more or less rewriting the specific details to suit their medium and their takes on the characters. They could easily wander off into their own material without compromising the integrity of the characters.
I had assumed that his body had just regressed to the state it was when he was a kid and he would continue to age normally from there but I think it was mentioned in this past season that he was stuck at this age. Not sure why they would do that since they know the actor is going to keep growing between seasons.
I probably missed it and need to do a rewatch, but "stuck at this age" probably doesn't mean he stops aging. Rather it means that he is not going to return to his original body.
The trouble with aging normally is that the time period covered in Five’s story in the first two seasons was only a bit over two weeks. By the time they make the third season Aidan’s real life aging is going to be more even more noticeable. He was 14 when he filmed the first season, 16 now, and will be 18 or more when the third season is filmed.
That's true--you're thinking that they should write he is aging more rapidly.
I wonder what happened in the first 1960s timeline. They all still met up with each other without Five’s help (then again all them were already in or heading to Dallas anyways so it was probably inevitable), and were working together. Or at least it looked that way. some of their powers seemed stronger too in that brief scene as well, at least to me. I think in the final episode of the season they were wearing the same outfits from that scene.
Also some how the soviets made it all the way to Dallas before the nukes were used lol.

Those were the troops that were already off the coast of Cuba.
Their powers were definitely stronger. Five's been holding them back the whole time.

It didn't really make a lot of sense to me how everyone was suddenly so powerful during the apocalypse in 1963. The season went on to show where they had been and what they had been up to during their individual lives in the 1960s, and none of it involved training to improve their powers. And they never reconnected until after Five arrived, so they wouldn't have had any opportunity to work together before then, either. Just feels like they did that scene because it would look cool but didn't really think it through.

I have not read the comics but that had to be a different timeline (timeline one) in which Luther fought with someone and pulled the artificial eye out. That timeline was altered when Five came back (creating a different timeline) and stopped the first apocalypse in which Luther, Diego, Allison, and Klaus were killed in the house and replaced it with a different apocalypse that was triggered by the events at the theatre. I have little doubt that the first apocalypse was also triggered by Vanya. I do not know if Leonard had anything to do with the first apocalypse but I don’t it could have been his eye.
