How The Umbrella Academy 4 Wrote Itself Into A Corner
I’m a mahoosive The Umbrella Academy (TUA) fan, both comics and TV series, as well as a mahoosive general Gerard Way/My Chemical Romance fan because despite never rocking the hairstyles or make-up, I am an OG emo child, and emo children never grow old 😅
Due to a variety of things, I didn’t watch the final series of TUA right away (le gasp!) and then I started seeing people online being like —
‘55 Reasons Season 4 of The Umbrella Academy is so bad that it actually melted an ice-cap!’
…which concerned me, even though I know that the internet never found a form of media it couldn’t hate with the kind of vehemence we should direct at war criminals instead.
(That analogy got darker than intended, but I think it’s kinda right, so I’ma leave it in!)
So, with some apprehension, I watched the series and…
…it was OK.
Was it the best of the TUA series? No.
Did it kill a polar bear? Also no.
I can also confidently say it’s in my top 4 of TUA series 😅
