The Umbrella academy attempts to define superhero in a different sense from what we used to see on screen. While quite a few of superheros and hero typically rising from literal zero to hero stories, in this series the superheroes are of unknown origin. They just spawned on earth, was birthed normally like a human being and somehow they were born with extraordinary abilities. Their fate on earth was typical to any of superhero plot line, to save the world from the doomsday. But what did they have to sacrifice? how did they eventually save the world? That makes up the whole plot of The Umbrella academy that lasts for 4 Season.
Written by Brazilian comic artist, Gabriel Ba, The Umbrella academy was brought into the screenby several producers and is available on Netflix. The first season of this series came out almost 6 years ago with season 1 having 10 episodes to it. One intriguing progression of the series is basically one of its main character who started the series as Vanya and later in series changed their name to Victor. It also aligns to its real life actor, whose transition from Ellen page to Elliot Page.
Though the shows has came out quite a few years by now, I just bothered to check it because I was so intrigued with a character whose head is an aquarium of goldfish atop of a human body. It was shown to me and I thought at first the whole show would revolve around him. The saddest part is that I only saw him later in the series and his name is apparently A.J Carmichael, who was the head of Temps Comission, which apparently is responsible to oversee and manage the space-time. This goldfish characters only appears a tiny portion throughout the series.
This series has a unique universe that also focuses on time travel. The plot is moving back and forth that you have to be very careful during watching it. During the first season, I even got confused of some of it and wondered why thereโs even talking monkey, called Pogo. Then, I also found out the mother was a programmed robot whose duty is to be a motherly figure for the adopted superpower children.
Honestly, the whole academy reminds me of the school from X-men which was led by Charles Xavier. I donโt know if thereโs relevancy but this Umbrella academy is basically the messed up version of that academy. As much as it also aims to train these special children, the seven of the children, a lot of them grew up with daddy issues. Itโs as if they wanted to get the approval of their Father, Sir Reginald Hargreeves which apparently isnโt really human after all.
In one of the series thereโs even comedic take on the cabal and the lizard people. At first Hargreeves was accused of being in the โshadow governmentโ who plot to assassinate Kennedy. Later in that season, weโre shown that there was a mask that covered the true face of Hargreeves. I find that really funny as the were also remarks about it scattered throughout the series of that season.
Honestly, given how the story unfolds, I definitely love and hate the progression of the characters and its characterization. One person in particular is definitely Vanya(Elliot Page) who managed to get into my nerves. His acting was really good that it really test my patience even as a viewer. The thing is, Vanya, who later changed into Victor was the most powerful of them all. With their ability he can even caused the worldโs ending. But as a whole, I love that each characters slowly realized their shortcomings and working together as a family. In the end, they finally grew up and resolved their issues.
One character that seems to be the anchor of them all is called Five. Throughout the first and second season, it was shown that heโs just 13 years old boy with short-temper in a uniform of the umbrella academy. Five was also the key throughout the series as he was the one that was able to do time-traveling helping the rest of the siblings solve the mystery of a doomsday. He is the character that really balances out everything and help pierce the story together.
Although I deem some parts of the story to be fairly politically motivated and some think itโs just part of another Hollywood propaganda, I try not to focus on that too much. I do fairly notice that but if youโre casual viewer, you probably wonโt. While I am sure many of you have watched this series, if you havenโt itโs worth giving it a try despite how Hollywood series are so tiring with its political correctness . Regardless of the buzz surrounding the series, the overall plot, characters and the universe are intriguing to follow. This is one of my first American series that Iโve watched after a while that I felt like I didnโt waste time on.
