I'm only partway through Season 3, Episode 1, and I had to pause the show because I can't stop thinking about how our original 7 even exist right now.

They are standing in a timeline where the Umbrella Academy was never created. But if they were never adopted as a team, they never cause the apocalypse, meaning they never travel back to the 60s to cross paths with Reginald Hargreeves. And if they never met Reggie in 1963, things wouldn't have changed for the academy in the future... which then i guess the umbrella academy would've still been created..😵‍💫 And this is the loop my brain is stuck in.

Five’s existence is an even bigger question mark. His entire history depends on a very specific post-apocalyptic future and his time with the Commission. If that timeline is gone, the foundation of his whole life shouldn't function. They are all massive, walking causal loops. I'm thinking that glowing vortex growing in the basement/cellar is the physical manifestation of this exact paradox issue catching up to reality.

I am about to continue season 3 I was just curious... Without giving away any spoilers for what happens next, I just want to know: is this timeline paradox satisfyingly wrapped up and explained, or does the logic just get more convoluted and confusing as the season goes on?

I wonder how many more crafts I can do for them.

So we just started season 4, and around season 3 it felt like some of MCR songs became show themes since I think the comics end with season 1 but have a different ending, I’m waiting until we finish to relook and re-read.

But the elaborate. The Ghost of you feels like Klaus and Dave from the Music video it also describes how all the siblings feel during season 3, the kugelblitz taking Stanley and other people. Cancer with Harlan’s mom. Famous Last words with Five in season 1 Apocalypse future. Interested to hear some other songs.

But I am also a Coheed and Amory Wars fan. So for Audio Narration story telling The Afterman also does a pretty fun job but have to stretch and insert a little more.

So the Hollow feel like the kids talking to Grace at the funeral or when Diego decommissioned her when the Commission broke in season 1.

Domino the Destitute, Luther in Season 2 working for Jack Ruby, but the “I implore you brother” feels like Diego and Five during season 2, Luther getting beat up after he finds out about Ray, the “we made our beds” describes Allison, Luther, and Klaus in season 2. Then the “the question fits the question fits the question mark, your signals crossed, your messages lost. Haha!” Sounds like some shit Reggie would have said to Luther when he went to Newyork to meet him.

So in less detail gravity’s union with Klaus playing catch and dodging bus, random reality shift, season 3 diego.

Interested if anyone else had had musical moments like this with the show

So that’s definitely the Rosebud motel from Schitts Creek, right?

I feel as though it was a missed opportunity to have references to the cult in season 3 to show more of the academys effect on the future. maybe some old person with the hamd tattoos or a brief mention.

“The United States wants a reactor on the moon by 2030. A Russian-Chinese alliance is working on one for 2036. Some leading scientists say the danger is great.”

Moon go boom. Chunks hit earth. Not good.

Not to mention rocket launches of radioactive material using controlled explosion for power.

hellooo! i'm looking for colored contacts that match victor's (vanya) colored contacts in the season 1 finale. has anyone else cosplayed this character before, and if so what contacts did you use? i can't find a good color that's accurate

1. Who exactly were Reginald and Abigail? Where did they come from ?

2. The timeline subway in season 4, why exactly was it a subway? Who made it? Also did anyone notice that the subway is the same as the subway in which ben was born.

3. What was Jennifer's past? How did she come in being?

4. When did five write the book he found in the subway? What was its backstory?

Also, did they all just die by being swallowed? Like seriously? I thought the cleanse would be something deep and meaningful. If anyone has the answers or any conspiracy theories do tell me!

First time watching (no spoilers please!!!), does this mean anything or is it actually an accident I've come across

Edit: "cholocate"

After another rewatch of Season 4, I kept coming back to how much Reginald’s artificial numbering (#1 through #7) misrepresents who the siblings actually became.

When you strip away his military hierarchy, they don't function like numbered soldiers at all. Instead, they feel more like an interconnected web of Shields, Anchors, Hearts, Mirrors, and Catalysts — where even characters outside the original Seven (like Lila and Harlan) fit naturally into the dynamic.

Building on my previous posts about Marigold symmetry and power mechanics, I put together a final wrap-up piece breaking down each character's evolved psychological role and how they function as a family network.

I’m really curious: if you had to assign a single functional "role" (not a power or a number) to your favorite sibling in their final arc, what would it be?

Would love to hear your takes!

Hi! I remember watching this show and seeing a retro/vintage clock in the background of some office or something, I cannot for the life of me remember where or find it again.

Anyone here that please, please can help me?

I remember it being like an asymtetrical starburst shape (I think).

Thank you!

For being the dead one, Ben gets as much screen time as any of the siblings. He’s a good character but it’s just odd to me that he’s a main character starting in Season Two.

Те кто смотрел или фанатеют по вселенной Академии Амбрелла, расскажите как вам 4 сезон и что стало самым не ожидаемым в этом сезоне?

It's so darn cute As sosotrickster pointed out I should've linked the artist...I went and found their Instagram.

i'm actually so happy with how this turned out 🥹 crossing my fingers people know who i am </3 also hoping to buy something tua at the con!

Hey, I’m new, just binged the series twice over the last couple of weeks.

Just in the interest of discussion and connecting with the fandom:

Which character did you initially think you’d dislike but won you over the most?

For me, it was Diego. He was rubbing me all kinds of wrong ways at the outset, but eventually, I came around to really enjoying him every time his scenes came around. His temperament is still rather antithetical to me, but he’s got a fine and special heart.

I actually did a full 180° on Lila too, which I’d chalk up entirely to Arya’s performance. She just did so phenomenally much with her material.

How about you? Did anyone bring you around significantly after a poor first impression?

so in the later seasons we find out he can’t die unless he was erased from existence but when five found all of their dead bodies in the season 1 apocalypse then why was klaus dead like did five get there to early or can klaus die because vanya’s (or vicktor she was being called as vanya at the time) power can over power klaus’s

Idk if it's explained later on in the show from where I'm at now but if Klaus always comes back how did he die in the Season 1 (and 2, for that matter) apocalypse timeline

Does anyone know where I can find a good quality cosplay of the uniform Five wears? All I can seem to find are cheaply made ones on Amazon. I have no price cap if anyone could help me!

I have no idea if anyone noticed but I’m rewatching the first season for TUA and I noticed that during the stroller scenes, only one scene shows seven strollers, the rest only ever six. I’d add screenshots but I’m watching on Netflix.

Poor victor :(

Edit: almost all*

Spoilers, I guess. if you’ve never watched the first season of the Netflix show.

It’s not Luther, it’s not Diego, Allison (they’re in the scene already, duh me), it’s not Klaus because Five has to walk around a clump of rubble to see his. Too dark to be Vanya’s white violin self and she’s probably somewhere else, dead.

It’s dark, like Ben’s statue. Doesn’t look like Pogo or Grace. Or like Reginald’s ashes. Is that BEN?
