Umbrella Academy

From Sloane, Fei and Christopher, to Jayme, Marcus, Alphonso and the new Ben, here's all the Sparrow Academy powers explained.

Alphonso’s powers are revealed when he challenges Allison to hit him during the fight at the Sparrow Academy in episode 1. Christopher's origins are still a mystery, but according to his character description, he can "turn the room freezing cold and induce paralysing fear." Fei is able to manifest the ravens from within her whenever she needs – for sight and to attack the enemy. Here are all seven members of the Sparrow Academy, and their powers, explained. He takes on a much more prominent role in the Sparrow Academy and is very self-assured (although, some would say 'arrogant'). The Umbrella Academy who!?

The Umbrella Academy season 3 ending explained: Who loses their powers? What happened to Luther? Why is Ben on a train? And what has Sir Reginald Hargreeves ...

Alternatively, it might be the case that this is another Ben. Given how calm and blended in to his surroundings he is, this Ben doesn’t resemble the brash, loud Sparrow version of Ben at all. This time, however, it really is her daughter Claire up in the bedroom – and bizarrely, her 1960s husband Ray is also present, apparently living with them both in 2019. Five of the Sparrows end up killed or Kugelblitzed before the end of season three, while Luther (Tom Hopper) marries Sloane (Genesis Rodriguez) only for Sir Reginald to murder him and Klaus (Robert Sheehan), framing their deaths as a consequence of the Hotel Oblivion's Guardians and the end of the universe respectively. The process is painful and disfiguring for the Hargreeves children, and eventually Allison kills Sir Reginald to stop it. Also changed, it emerges that the mothers of the Umbrellas died before giving birth to them in this timeline, thanks to an accidental psychic attack by Harlan, a boy given abilities by Viktor (Elliot Page) in the 1960s as well. We’ve broken down all the main points of season 3's finale, what it could mean for season 4 and what’s going on in that post-credits scene below.

This smart adaptation of Gerard Way's graphic novel continues to impress, tackling real, relatable issues in the process.

But Umbrella Academy soars above mere pastiche – is it really all that clever in the first place to point out that real-world superheroes would be hugely problematic? Strangest of all is Five (Aidan Gallagher), a dead ringer for Jason Schwartzman in Wes Anderson’s Rushmore, who has the the ability to spontaneously blink across time and space. It doesn’t help that the Sparrows are mean, lean and skilled in the dark arts of brand extension (visitors to their lair receive a complimentary goodie bag). We are also re-introduced to Robert Sheehan’s flamboyant and dissolute Klaus, whose superpower is seemingly getting on everyone else’s nerves, and Allison (Emmy Raver-Lampman), eager to reconnect with her daughter in the new timeline. Everyone is supportive of Viktor, but he appreciates it will take a moment for them to come to terms with the new reality. There is lots of humanity here: nobody is preached at or ridiculed for not being bang up to date on questions of gender and identity.

THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY season 3 has finally arrived on Netflix and it is safe to say the Sparrow Academy did not last long. What happened to Sloane?

The Umbrella Academy is back on Netflix with a third outing and this season was set in an alternate timeline. What happened to Sloane? The Umbrella Academy season 3 is on Netflix now. [INSIGHT] THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY season 3 has finally arrived on Netflix and it is safe to say the Sparrow Academy did not last long. The Umbrella Academy season 3 ending explained: What happened to Sloane?

In Umbrella Academy season 3 episode 1, we see the Umbrella and Sparrow academies fight. But who would win in an actual showdown of the two Hargreeves ...

What are their powers? The showdown: Viktor has almost ended the world twice, and that was without even really trying. Christopher can manipulate the temperature of a room, tase people (basically), and also induce fear into the minds of beings. In a fight, Jayme — who also benefits from the Sparrow training regimen — should be able to avoid Ben’s tentacles and get an opportunity to spit on him. What are their powers? Like the Sparrow version, Ben is able to summon tentacles with his body. Who’s to say, but I think if Allison was just able to talk at all and was focused/had her killer instinct enough, it’d be an easy win. Diego is able to manipulate the trajectory of anything he throws, as well as anything thrown at him — including bullets. Since this is a one-on-one showdown, we’re also assuming a world in which Umbrella Ben is alive and well, just for numbers’ sake. But in a showdown between individual members of the group, who would win? With a six-on-seven brawl, there’s a lot of moving parts. This is the Sparrow Academy, and they operate like a well-oiled machine (at least from the outside).

The new season will see the likes of Elliot Page, Tom Hopper and Robert Sheehan reprise their roles as well as some new faces. If you happen to binge the new ...

Metro.co.uk says: ‘Stranger Things became a word-of-mouth smash impossible to sell without name-dropping its influences. The Hermetic Order of the Blue Rose is arguably an even better name for a group than The Umbrella Academy, and the secret society at the heart of The Order is something that you’ll want to get the full low-down on as you traverse through this magic-and-dark-arts themed series. You can watch all five series on Netflix now – get ready for a lot of action and some of the most colourful insults you’ve ever heard.

Elliot Page's "Umbrella Academy" character Vanya transitioned to trans man Viktor in Season 3 parallel to the actor after he came out in 2020.

To me, it would be so special for us to all be able to connect and talk about how similar we all are." The actor added: "I feel like it's so unfortunate because we're all on the same team here, you know? I feel a way that I really never thought possible for a long, long time," Page said. The crew also brought trans author and journalist Thomas Page McBee on set where he "helped out" with bringing Viktor's story to fruition. "You don’t even notice the box that you’re in until someone comes along and lets you out," Sissy says. "But last time I checked, you don’t speak for this family."

However reluctantly, Diego seems to be finding some purpose in being a dad to Stan (whose ability to throw knives so well probably doesn’t hurt). And Luther finds hope in his ongoing bond with Sloane, who — barring the possibility of a long-con honeypot scheme — seems to adore him and his stories about visiting the moon as much as she dislikes being a Sparrow. When they kiss at the end of the episode, it feels like the start of something they both desperately need. Is there a future for the Umbrellas in this specifically Umbrella-less world? But after following that arc for much of the first season, the TV show has gone on to suggest a vastly more hopeful path — one in which Viktor finally gets to define his life on his own terms. And as the rest of the world finds out who he is, too, it’s nice to see a pop-cultural trans story that is not characterized by prejudice, tragedy, or both. At a diner with Viktor, Allison flashes back to the racist diner owner from 1963. It’s interesting that this wasn’t the show’s original plan for the character — season three’s scripts were already finished when Page released his statement, which necessitated some rewrites — because, in many ways, it feels like Umbrella Academy has always been building up to this.

In the third episode of The Umbrella Academy season three, the Sparrows turn up at the hotel, ready to fight to the death with the Umbrella Academy siblings.

While he may not initially seem familiar, Harlan Cooper has been in The Umbrella Academy before.

Everyone is unsure of themselves and distrustful of each other in the wake of Luther and Klaus' deaths. Prior to this, at the end of episode 9, Reginald kills Luther (Tom Hopper) in an attempt to bring the family together. As she goes over to check on her daughter, Ray (Yusuf Gatewood), the man she was married to in 1963, appears in the doorway, dressed in present-day clothing. After confronting their father, Reginald Hargreeves, back in the '60s, he decides to adopt another set of superpowered children in 1989, so the siblings find they've got competition as they arrive back in 2019. The Umbrella Academy season 3 has arrived on Netflix, and the finale will have left many of us with more questions than answers.

Elliot Page said the showrunner of 'Umbrella Academy' was 'excited' to make his character, Viktor Hargreeves, trans after he came out in real life.

“That’s obviously a big component and part of my life and a beautiful thing to experience now,” Page said. [Transitioning has] improved my life drastically, and I hope maybe people who do have an issue with me could maybe try and hear that or embrace that on some level.” Since issuing a powerful statement about their transition in December 2020, Page has been showered with love and support from friends and colleagues, as well as the larger trans community. "[McBee’s] book and his work in general are so much about masculinity and what it means and exploring that,” Page said. Additionally, the show tapped journalist and author Thomas Page McBee — the first trans man to box at New York City’s Madison Square Garden — to consult on Viktor’s character arc. “It’s so unfortunate because it’s like, we’re all on the same team here.

The Umbrella Academy star Elliot Page has credited his transition for "drastically" improving his life.

It's improved my life drastically, and I hope that people who do have an issue with me could try and hear that and embrace that on some level." "As a person, as a friend, and in relationships... The actor came out as transgender in December 2020, and in an interview on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Tuesday (June 21), he discussed his coming out journey and the impact it's had on his life ever since.

Umbrella Academy star Elliot Page has opened up on how transitioning has made him 'better in so many facets'.

As a person, as a friend, and in relationships…,’ he told the host. That’s really what I’m focusing on and embracing the most.’ ‘I think it’s made me better in so many facets.

Umbrella Academy's Season 3 finale was full of surprises. What happened to Allison, Luther, Diego, Viktor, Five, Sloane, Ben, and Klaus in the final ...

The sigil features seven stars, and Reginald instructs seven of the Hargreeves children to stand on the markers. After all, Klaus suggests earlier in the episode that heaven looks different for everyone, and Allison has made it clear that her life is nothing without Claire and Ray. Only time will tell what has really happened to Allison, though, as anything can happen in The Umbrella Academy. Then her husband from the 1960s, Ray, appears in the doorway and says, "It's where you were always meant to be." Justifying the fact that "he's killing them," Reginald tells Allison, "Everything in life has a price." A red button appears on the screen, and despite her family begging her not to, Allison presses it. Seeing his anatomy, it's revealed that Reginald isn't human (something viewers already knew), and he falls to the floor dead. Luther tries to convince Klaus to return to save the rest of their family. Ghost Luther berates his father for leaving him on the moon for so long, and then killing him. In this timeline, Reginald adopted a completely different group of children, with Ben being the only member of both groups. Here's what happened in The Umbrella Academy's season 3 finale. Much of the drama takes place inside Hotel Obsidian, where the original Hargreeves siblings stay after finding themselves in a timeline in which they don't exist. Season 3 of The Umbrella Academy includes a plethora of WTF moments, but the finale really takes the cake.

Why is Ben on a train in Korea? Mysterious Umbrella Academy season 4 theories.

Allison ended up stepping in and killing Sir Reginald to stop him hurting the others, but maybe in his original plans the process would have finished them off. It has us wondering whether this is an alternate version of Ben who was never adopted by Sir Reginald, and who stayed in Seoul his whole life. Naturally, this would take him to Seoul, and this could be a storyline in season 4 going forwards. While he died aged 15 in the original Umbrella Academy timeline, the separate ‘Sparrow Academy’ timeline of season 3 had him live to adulthood, and develop a more conniving, aggressive personality. And how would Ben even know where to look for his mother? Elsewhere, Allison (Emmy Raver-Lampman) reunites with her daughter Claire and her 1960s husband Ray, both living in 2019.

Season 3 of Netflix's The Umbrella Academy ends on a massive cliffhanger. Here's what happened—and what it means for the Hargreeves kids.

“I left you to guard the most precious thing in the universe.” But Reg never tells him what—or, rather, who—that was. As a boy, I heard the legend of the seven bells.” If the bells are rung, “all will be restored just as it was.” Basically, “whoever or whatever” made the universe left a safeguard in place—a literal reset button—should the universe become a threat to itself. But if you’d rather not spend the next several hours tapping the rewind button, here’s a quick rundown of what seems to have just happened. Allison presses her palm to the button, and the universe powers down like a 1970s-era television set. Allison is the only one left sitting on the bench, and she’s forced to watch as this power—whatever it is—seems to eat her siblings alive, sucking up their insides and turning their skin dull and grey. We don’t know much about these guardians except that the “creator of the universe” put them in place to protect the reset button from those with nefarious intentions. Their tormenter is dead, but the kids are still in agony, and a Big Red Button has popped up on Reg’s screen. Instead, he calls the remaining family together to hunt for a “sigil,” one that will unlock the mythical “seven bells” that can reset the universe. Reg himself built the Hotel Obsidian around a portal that transports visitors to “the other side,” where it would seem the aforementioned seven bells reside. After finally believing he’d developed a trusting relationship with his abusive father, Klaus is devastated by Reg’s betrayal and impales himself on the horn of a taxidermic white buffalo in the Hotel Obsidian, ostensibly so as to preserve his physical form and return to life, pronto. After all, why return to the family that’s repeatedly rebuffed him, or the father who called him “more trouble than you’re worth”? But Luther appeals to Klaus’s intense need for validation—“I believe in you, brother”—and Klaus agrees to try reincarnating them, despite Luther’s motivational skills lacking Braveheart-level finesse. Episode 10 opens shortly after Sir Reginald Hargreeves (Colm Feore) plunges his tentacle-sword-arm into Luther’s (Tom Hopper) chest, then whips around and abandons Klaus (Robert Sheehan) to the devouring Kügelblitz, a black hole-like entity created by the impossibility of the Umbrella Academy’s existence in a reality where their mothers were killed before they were born.

Elliot Page Says 'Umbrella Academy' Showrunner Steve Blackman Was Excited About Incorporating The Actor's Transition Into The Show.

“What I want to focus on right now, and [it] has been so extraordinary,” Page told the Late Night host, “is the degree of joy that I feel. Thomas came on board and helped out and I feel proud of it and excited for people to see it.” Page told Meyers that they brought on “an incredible writer, journalist, author Thomas Page McBee, who I met doing a miniseries called Tales of the City. He wrote an extraordinary book called Amateur, which I highly recommend everybody to read.

The Umbrella Academy season 3 has landed and our favourite superhero family have some new foes to face: The Sparrow Academy. But what are their powers?

Portrayed by Cazzie David, Jayme has one of the more unpleasant powers of the Sparrows. She is able to spit psychedelic venom from her mouth that shows convincing illusions to her foes. He can also reshape his cube body into some other shapes for specific purposes. In episode 1, he tricks Allison into hitting him in the face, only for her to feel the effect of the punch. Played by Britne Oldford, The Sparrow’s Number Three is able to summon and create birds from within her body. Alphonso (Jake Epstein) is able to inflict any injuries he sustains upon his opponent. And they’re kind of a big deal."

Who is Lester Pocket? Lester Pocket – aka Harlan – is introduced in Umbrella Academy season 3, but who is he? How is he connected to Viktor?

At the end of season 3, Allison ends up pushing a button that appears to reset the entire universe. Harlan tried to break the connection, but his powers broke free and he ended up killing the mothers instead. Over the course of season 2, we see that the powers begin to manifest whenever Harlan gets angry. In flashbacks, we learn that Lester/Harlan struggled to control those powers as a child. In season 3, episode 3, we learn that Lester/Harlan's powers can kill people instantly. In episode 3, we learn that Lester Pocket – the mysterious guy with the suitcase full of tapes – is actually Harlan Cooper, Sissy's young son from season 2.

One of the mysteries lingering in the background of the season finally comes to the forefront. A recap of “Pocket Full of Lightning,” episode three of ...

And that’s when one of those external forces lingering in the background of The Umbrella Academy’s third season finally comes to the forefront. Back in the present, things are starting to come to a boil. In the end, Luther settles for complimenting his new haircut, which seems like a nice middle ground. In the absence of internal battles, external ones will need to do, and “Pocket Full of Lightning” offers more than a few. Allison suggests that they conduct the exchange at the Hotel Obsidian, revealing the Umbrellas’ home base, which not even lovestruck Luther was reckless enough to do without catching himself first. There’s no conflict The Umbrella Academy has ever introduced that’s as interesting as when the family itself is at odds.

Which character does Euphoria actor Javon Walton – best-known as Ashtray – play in The Umbrella Academy season 3? What you need to know.

In The Umbrella Academy season three, Javon is introduced as a character called Stanley. The 15-year-old began the series as a recurring character in season one before becoming a main member of the cast. The Umbrella Academy has returned to Netflix with the mighty release of season 3, reuniting fans with their favourite characters as well as a host of new members of the cast.

Elliot Page is “proud” and “excited” that their real-life gender transition will be represented through their “Umbrella Academy” character.

Page said “Umbrella Academy” showrunner Steve Blackman was “really excited” to incorporate trans identity into the show. “That’s obviously a big component and part of my life and a beautiful thing to experience now,” they said. “So Thomas came on board and helped out, and I feel proud of it and excited for people to see.”

Of all the superhero franchises Netflix has attempted to launch, “The Umbrella Academy” is easily its biggest hit. Viktor Hargreeves’ coming out is one of the best-handled storylines of the season, and provides a masterful “how to” guide in handling a transitioning family member. It may be an accident of fate that “The Umbrella Academy’s” best plotline came from something the universe threw at it. Since its first season, “The Umbrella Academy” has thrived on chaotic storylines, throwing around time traveling tales and multiverses like ping pong balls, and delighting in whichever way they landed. Most only lasted a season (“ Jupiter’s Legacy,” anyone?) or have flown under the radar, like “ Locke & Key.” It is also one of the few (if not the only) of Netflix’s superhero franchise legitimately able to challenge Marvel’s supremacy, at least more than certain DC films can claim. Three seasons in, the series is trying to do too much, and some of the show’s best moments are the ones it never saw coming.

The dramatic escalation in the Umbrellas-versus-Sparrows skirmish means everyone needs to make some hard choices, fast. A recap of “Kugelblitz,” episode ...

• This show has always known how to do a good montage, and the rapid-fire opening, depicting Sissy and Harlan moving whenever his powers cause problems, is another showstopper. That kugelblitz happens to be in the basement of the Sparrow Academy. And just when you can see Five’s wheels turning about what to do next, his older self uses his dying breath to mutter a strange warning that runs counter to every instinct we’ve seen Five exercise over the course of the series: “Whatever you do, don’t save the world.” Their conversation leads to the horrifying revelation that — because of his uncontrollable powers — Harlan is (inadvertently) responsible for sparking the aneurysms that killed the Umbrellas’ mothers. At the same time, Viktor and Harlan catch up on the intervening time (days for Viktor, decades for Harlan) in a quieter part of the hotel. Viktor is, understandably, most concerned about protecting Harlan. Luther is, understandably, most concerned about his budding relationship with Sloane. Diego is, understandably, surprised and touched when his tough-acting son responds to the violence by seeking comfort from his dad. (It’s possible that there’s also some latent jealousy from her own quasi-romance with Luther, but it seems like the show is pretty eager to sweep that subplot under the rug.)

Do the Umbrellas interpersonal dramas really matter in the face of the apocalypse? A recap of “Kindest Cut,” episode five of season three of Netflix's 'The ...

But as all these interpersonal dramas play out, it’s hard not to revisit a question that the Umbrellas themselves periodically pose: Does any of this really matter in the face of the apocalypse? • On the strength of his performance as a “sexy dad,” Lila and Diego hook up again. After some back-and-forth, Viktor goes from threatening Harlan to understanding him, mixed in with a fair amount of guilt, and decides to renege on his promise to his family and smuggle Harlan away before the Sparrows can get their hands on him. After a brief fight, Viktor confronts Harlan over the deaths of their mothers — an intriguing paradox in itself — and learns that Harlan killed them accidentally, unleashing the powers he acquired from Viktor in a failed attempt to connect with others like him. This is a genuinely startling violation of consent, and while she ultimately orders him to stop after a lengthy kiss, it’s clear things could have gone much, much further if she had willed it. But this odd little subplot is a useful microcosm for one of my biggest recurring frustrations with this series: Far too often, it feels as though even matters of life and death have no actual stakes.

Min played Cameron in the miniseries Dating After College and Yang in the sci-fi series After Yang. He also appeared in the films The Guilty, Sicario 2: Soldado, and The Ascent. Castañeda played Nicholas in the comedy series Jane the Virgin and Jorge Castillo in the drama series Switched at Birth. Number Five, who has the power of time travel and teleportation, became trapped in the future as an old boy where he saw the devastation of the apocalypse before returning to The Umbrella Academy to warn the others. Hopper played Sir Percival in the fantasy series Merlin and also starred as Dickon Tarly in Game of Thrones. He also played the superhero Kitty Pryde in two instalments of the X-Men franchise, Ariadne in the Christopher Nolan blockbuster Inception, and Courtney in the horror film Flatliners.

You may known Javon "Wanna" Walton as Ashtray from 'Euphoria,' but Walton has a surprising new role on season 3 of 'Umbrella Academy.'

Stan's around for the rest of the season, as Diego and some of the other Umbrellas look after him while trying to solve another apocalypse. He does get to help out Diego when the two run into some trouble. He also said that he's logged over 80 fights and hopes to go pro when he turns eighteen. He added that he got the role after only one audition, saying "I was the only kid pronouncing the drug names right." Javon "Wanna" Walton joined The Umbrella Academy in a secret role earlier this year, soon after his fan-favorite character Ashtray met a tragic fate in Euphoria's season 2 finale. Based on the comic book series by My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá, the show follows a dysfunctional family of heroes as they stop the end of the world (after usually bringing it about themselves) in a new setting every season.

The actor talked with Seth Meyers about the new season of the Netflix series, which will have Page's character coming out as trans.

Transitioning “has improved my life drastically,” Page said, and enhanced his acting. … It’d be so special for us to all be able to connect and talk about how similar we are in all of our journeys.” “I feel a way that I really never thought possible for a long, long time.”

Page shared that showrunner Steve Blackman “​​seemed really excited about incorporating [Page's transition] into the show.” Page also brought the writer Thomas ...

“The times in my life where I was the most uncomfortable, where I was the most unwell — those were the times when I was the most angry and I was the most unkind to myself.” Page emphasized again that transition has “improved his life drastically,” and expressed a hope that those who “have an issue” with him “could maybe try and hear that and embrace that as well.” “What I want to focus on right now — and it's been so extraordinary — is the degree of joy that I feel, the degree of presence that I feel,” Page said. “So Thomas came on board and helped out and I feel proud of it and excited for people to see it.”

Allison continues down her darkened path. A recap of 'Marigold,' episode six of season three of Netflix's 'The Umbrella Academy.'

She kills Harlan, tosses him into the trunk of her car, and delivers his corpse straight to the Sparrow Academy. I guess that’s the danger of trying out another version of yourself: Sometimes, it’s going to be a worse one. The two make it back to the Obsidian just in time to watch the kugelblitz absorb the real Stan. And while Diego might not technically be his father, it’s a safe bet he and Lila will do whatever they need to do to rescue their surrogate son. Now, after a lifetime of isolation, maybe he can enjoy the rest of his life as a regular human — a final gift from Viktor, honoring his love for Sissy by taking care of her son even after all these years. And while it’s clearly yet another one of Ben’s manipulations, he also offers Luther an irresistible chance to redefine himself as a Sparrow, stepping into the slot that Marcus vacated when he got sucked into the kugelblitz. Much of the fun of an alternate-universe story is seeing what might happen to a familiar character if they’d made a radically different series of choices. Pogo’s biker makeover is the most literal version of a theme that most of these characters are confronting: If you’re not yourself, who else could you be?

THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY has returned for its hotly-anticipated third season, but many fans aren't happy with how one member of the team was treated this time ...

“You take Allison, one of the best characters and completely butcher her character by making her do something EXTREMELY out of character and just disgusting in general… “The writers are very weird,” @korysverse said. And @buildingsunsets tweeted: “I used to love Allison but the way they made her rumour Luther into kissing her just because she was mourning Ray and Claire.”

If you had just one day left to live, how would you spend it? A recap of 'Wedding at the End of the World,' episode eight of season three of Netflix's 'The ...

So I was very much on Viktor’s side when he decides to be the bigger person and apologize for his role in everything that went wrong. Even Reginald Hargreeves shows up, albeit uninvited, and delivers a lovely toast to all his children: The ones he raised in this timeline and the ones he has accepted he raised in another one. Allison had every reason to be angry that Viktor lied to her — but in the end, she made an active and calculated choice to murder Harlan. The episode is structured around an event that promises a kind of defiant joy: the wedding of Luther and Sloane, who want to be formally bound together as they stare down the apocalypse. Or in other words: This is a hangout episode, designed mostly to give us a heavy dose of these characters before the plot inevitably overwhelms them in the one-two punch of the last two episodes. No one knows how to stop it (or, in Five’s case, if it should be stopped). Assuming we’re at the end of the line: How best to spend the time they have left?

Elliot Page has spoken about how 'The Umbrella Academy' incorporated the actor's own personal transition into the show's third season.

“He wrote an extraordinary book called Amateur, which I highly recommend everybody to read. They told Oprah Winfrey: “I was expressing [my identity] to people in my life much before posting that letter and telling people for the first time and knowing I wanted a moment to become comfortable in myself and to be able to get to that point.” Last year (April 21), Page – whose pronouns are he/they – addressed his decision to come out as transgender, saying that he had to be “selfish” and prioritise his wellbeing in making it public.

Acot Elliot Page appeared on 'Late Night With Seth Meyers' to promote season 3 of 'The Umbrella Academy' and discuss how his character's transition aligns ...

So that’s really what I’m focusing on and embracing the most.” Page describes transphobia as “unfortunate” because “whether you’re trans, gender nonconforming, cis, we all have these expectations and limits and constraints because of people’s obsession with the binary and how we’re all supposed to live our lives. The June 21 episode of Late Night With Seth Meyers welcomed Elliot Page to promote season three of The Umbrella Academy, out today on Netflix. The actor spoke about his character’s transition this season, which corresponds with his own. So to me it’d be so special for us to all be able to connect and talk about how similar we are in all of our journeys.”

And I still suspect we’ll learn that Viktor is more powerful now that he has reabsorbed the energy he passed to Harlan back in 1963. • While in Ben’s room, Viktor spots a drawing labeled Jennifer — yet another reference to the mysterious Jennifer Incident that led to Ben’s death in the original timeline. This very painful break between Viktor and Allison — probably the Hargreeves siblings with the healthiest relationship, despite everything that has happened — is the kind of thing you can only earn after several seasons of character development, when it’s clear to the audience just how high the stakes are. But while it’s nice to have Umbrella Academy filling in these gaps in the plot, the scene that will stick with me is silent: a long take of Lila playing the drums, unleashing all her accumulated emotion after the events of season two. The episode begins with a Lila flashback, revealing that when the Commission offered to send her to any time and place, she chose West Berlin in 1989. Early on, the Umbrellas and Sparrows team up to take on the kugelblitz, winning what turns out to be a pyrrhic victory.

An unusually conclusive Umbrella Academy season 3 finale delves into Reginald Hargreeves' motivations but does it get things back to "normal?"

In addition to that, this might be the show’s way of slowly turning the Sparrow Academy Ben into our Ben. This Ben smiles, meaning that either the Sparrow Academy Ben is learning to chill out or that this really is the Ben of old. And if that is true, that might mean that Five’s prophecy has finally come to pass and there might be extra versions of all the Umbrellas out there in the world. The real interesting angle to consider here is how much of the events of The Umbrella Academy did Reginald Hargreeves foresee? By killing himself prior to the beginning of the series, did Reginald know it would set forward a series of events that would find his children: blowing up the Earth, going to 1963 Dallas, returning to a Sparrow-ified universe, and finally accessing Oblivion? Or did the old alien just kill himself because he could no longer take the pain? Ultimately Klaus, Ben (Justin H. Min), Sloane, Viktor (Elliot Page), Lila (Ritu Arya), Diego (David Castañeda), and Five fulfill the role of the Seven Bells. Reginald tells Allison (Emmy Raver-Lampman) to hold back because he knows the experience will kill her and he promised that she could be reunited with her daughter. By standing on certain locations in Oblivion previously revealed by a map, the children’s powers will be accessed and consolidated to open up a sort of computer terminal that can “reset” reality. Part of the reason why Reggie believes in the concept of Oblivion is because of an ancient prophecy referring to “The Seven Bells.” In fact, there are all sorts of prophecies from around the world that refer to a need of seven something. Earlier this season, Klaus recently discovered that not only does he have the power to communicate with the dead but to return from the dead as well. Now the TV series seems to imply that he only ever needed seven in the first place. At the tail end of season 3’s penultimate episode, “Seven Bells,” Reginald Hargreeves (Colm Feore) fatally stabs his “Number One” son Luther (Tom Hopper) in the chest with one of his sharp alien fingers. Reginald Hargreeves seemingly achieves one of his biggest goals and his “children” get the opportunity to start their lives over, albeit without the crutch of their powers. Season 2 then brought the Hargreeves children back to the “present” only to discovery that something had gone horribly wrong as “The Sparrow Academy” were unwelcome intruders in their own home.

Umbrella Academy, the Netflix series where imagination has no limits, is reminding viewers that identity is not a prison.

And I love that I am queer. “I love that I am trans. It's not just that there are LGBTQ+ characters like Klaus and Viktor – played by Elliott Page – but that the Umbrella Academy itself is a band of misfits who, for better or worse, have to seek family in one another as they grapple with issues ranging from their father's death to saving the world from impending apocalypse.

Umbrella Academy season 3 post credits scene follows a version of Ben on a new mission in South Korea.

Perhaps this timeline has a new Ben, one who's different from both the original ghost version of his character and the messy new one too. Which, to be fair, is extremely typical of this kooky, loveable show. In the real world, Yeouido is a large island on the Han River in Seoul. But why would Ben want to visit there? And why is this so important to the show's future? Set in Seoul on October 1, 1989, the opening revealed Ben's birth on this subway and how Reginald Hargreeves ended up adopting him in this alternate Sparrow reality. All season long, this Sparrow version of the character has been all kinds of messy.

The Umbrella Academy has returned to Netflix with season three and fans were left with plenty of questions at the end. [EXPLAINER] Who is Lester Pocket in The Umbrella Academy?

• Reginald’s holdings in the new future include real estate, a financial institution, and a really big tower. And I definitely don’t buy that she’d be anything but furious with Diego for patronizingly locking her up instead of letting her join the fight (even if she slaps him before she kisses him once she gets out). The idea of hallways and rooms that reconfigure themselves is unnerving, but Umbrella Academy doesn’t really take the idea of an infinite maze to its full potential, and it doesn’t turn out to be much of an obstacle. If you scan it and get a different result, let me know on Twitter or in the comments below. But the button is still there and active, and Viktor opts to stand down, trusting Allison that pushing it is the right move. The season two finale was a little confounding too, and the third season it teed up was probably the show’s strongest overall.
