How The Umbrella Academy 4 Wrote Itself Into A Corner

…And There’s Never Enough Klaus

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 😅
