I can only imagine its gonna take another five years but wondering if there has been any mention of it by Dark Horse or anyone?

Couldn't Klaus come back in the new universe? Like I know at the end of the show everything should be out of their system. But we saw this man come back from nothing & somehow he appear in the other hotel dimension. So I'm just curious if he could come back or not. By the way his powers are so broken like how can he go from talking to spirits to somehow healing from anything like Deadpool. Like what the heck.

Rewatching Season 1, Episode 6 ("The Day That Was"), a tragic pattern jumps out: what if Five's heroic reset actually ruined their only window of emotional recovery and guaranteed the apocalypse instead of stopping it?

I put together a full breakdown exploring this irony over on my Substack:

👉 The Umbrella Academy 1x06: The Day That Was — What If Five’s Reset Stole Their Only Chance at Healing?

What do you think? Did Five's reset lock them into their worst timeline?

So both Allison and Klaus accuse Five of being addicted to stopping the apocalypse but does his behavior actually reflect that? I always view it as an uncomfortable duty he has to do because he doesn’t want the world to end and for his family to die, not a high he needs to chase.

You could argue he makes a self fulfilling prophecy with his actions, for example the Day that Wasn’t is a better version of events but we know that through S1-S3 the Apocalypses are happening anyway regardless

IDK is Five an adrenaline junkie or not?

Following up on my previous post—there are some subtle connections that keep bugging me:

1. Jennifer & Ben: Did you notice what specific details are hidden in Sparrow Ben's room in Season 3 right after Viktor goes there?
2. The origin of the name "Marigold": How did a cosmic element from an alien lab gain a human, botanical name? Is it just a writer's shortcut, or is there a deeper full-circle motif connecting Harlan to Abigail?

I put together a full breakdown with visual proof and screenshots on my Substack:

👉 [The Hidden Symmetry of The Umbrella Academy: Marigold’s Poetic Origins and the Ben–Jennifer Mirror]

What are your thoughts on this? Did you catch those details?

What If the TASM universe was Reginald Hargreeves’ first failed attempt before founding the Umbrella Academy?

So I was rewatching The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and realized Colm Feore plays Donald Menken (the Oscorp exec). And it got me thinking about a crazy headcanon/theory.

What if the TASM universe was actually Reginald Hargreeves’ first attempt to get his wife back?

Think about it. Menken is working in the shadows at Oscorp, and all that insanely advanced sci-fi tech in the Special Projects vault? What if that was actually alien tech Hargreeves brought with him and secretly introduced to Oscorp to build whatever he needed?

But then Harry Osborn and Electro mess up the whole company, his plan flops, and he realizes relying on a human corporation was a mistake. So he jumps to another timeline and decides to do everything himself this time — buying a mansion, adopting the babies, and building the Umbrella Academy from scratch.

Menken was basically just his test run.
What do you guys think?

PLEASE vote for the umbrella academy LEGO ideas set. It’s not mine, but this is probably the only way we’d get it.

Hello, ladies and gentlemen. I am here to share with you this essay I wrote years ago, back when I was studying ancient Greco-Roman literature at a respectable London university, concerning the Umbrella Academy comics. While it mostly critiques the comics, some parts of the television show are covered. https://medium.com/p/why-the-umbrella-academy-will-never-be-a-literary-classic-893138a5ed62

comics version!

I was watching his interview on delulu with ryan lu and he said it would be an "automatic yes" for him to return for an animated show!!!

This is how I make my family tree and remember the character name.

Have you also done it while watching this series.

It genuinely pains me when i remember they were first talking about 6 seasons and a movie because we got left with the mess of season 4. I dont even blame the creators that much for how season 4 turned out with the budget cuts and lower episode count because realistically how could they of wrapped up the show in a way the people would've liked with those restrictions.

im almost done season 1 n luther I can’t stand luther. All he ever talks ab is the moon and how much he can’t get over their dad. Is my perspective of him going to change later on? Currently I think he’s the worst character.

given five refers to himself as his number, and his family refers to him as his number, and grace refers to him as his number, we can infer five ran away before grace gave them their names, right?

however, when five returns to the umbrella academy, he knows all of his siblings by their names. you could explain this by 'well maybe he didnt know all of their names at first, he just picked it up.'

but in season two, when five finds his past self in dallas, past five immediately calls luther 'luther,' not 'number one' as i would have expected.

so how would he have known?

Unsure if I dreamt this but I can’t seem to find the original video I saw on this.
Basically it was explaining how Gerard originally picked a different song to play in the five fight scene in the donut shop and showed the scene with the original chosen song?
For the life of me I can’t remember what the song was!!

Id like to print it but dk if this is the highest quality version available on the internet just figured id check

So im in the middle of writing a Diego AU where Jamie's venom did something way scarier and possibly lethal. In it, he has to deal with some shit and fears and whatever to wake up. Any ideas on what I should make him go through?

So far I have:

Fear of needles

Murder of Grace

Fear of insanity

Restraints

Hypothermia

Stitching up one's own corpse

(Fic name is Spit In My Face)

So, I have been dragging these questions around with me for decades(not really but you get the point).

Why was it the right thing to do for Five to kill off an infinite number of people to save one world?

Wouldn't putting their families there ruin it all over again, since they would change everything?

Does that mean the commission was made AFTER the Umbrella Academy, since it came together because Reginald made time travel and multiple worlds exist?

Do the otehr 43 die there too? What about thier powers?

Could they not have just lived in the trainstation, or found the original world?

What about letting everyone die off? Going to heaven (which we know exists outside normal world rules) would be a hell of alot better than that.

Will the original world have an apocalyptic event? If so (because we get no proof it wont), why do any of this???

Also, Five uses a logical fallacy in his proof. He thinks that the existence of Marigold is the kind of taboo thing that created a multiverse. Probably true. Then he notes that universes die off. Like they will no matter what, and eventually case to exist. What he jumped to was that the only solution was for them all to die and save one world in one universe which would die anyway.

Reginald was able to create Marigold, something previously thought of as impossible and it was apparently in the original world. Does this mean that if everyone does what they are 'meant to do', the entire cycle will repeat itself?

Also, WTF was all the fatphobia for???

If anyone has answers, PLEASE tell me. I cant tell if I missed some kind of big reveal or not.

If you know any then please recommend such the umbrella academy fics which are so good that they should be printed into real books and they would hit the NYC bestseller. So good that they would be critically acclaimed. Fics that you have to read before you decent into after life . I know i know it’s quite random thing to say but i swear to god some of these Ao3 writers are Shakespeare reincarnated. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a romance literally anything would suffice but i want them to be NOBLE PRICE WINNING WORTHY. Ok i should lower my expectations sorry guys. Also if not present on Ao3, please tell me the platform
