I’m not sure if this happened in the comics but in the show I loved Diego’s relationship with their mom.

I think the idea behind Diego is that he is basically as useful to his father because his arbitrary and comparably mundane powers such as holding his breathe, and being able to curve the trajectory of knives. Whereas everyone else has considerable more potent powers

Although Dallas is most people's favorite (which I also love and understand why it's most people's favorite)apocalypse suite is my personal favorite just because it was something new with comics in my opinion. I also really like the show I just don't think they do The Boy and The White Violin much justice. These are 2 of the most badass characters in comics period

Speaking of Gerard Way comics, I would love to see an episode on the 'True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys' series. Not only is it a really cool series with several interesting themes, but its also based off of My Chemical Romance's 'Danger Days' album, which is one of the best, and most underrated concept albums ever!

The thing I love most about the umbrella academy is theme of family,it can always be dark and blleek but if you have your family by your side things may turn around.
Please talk more about Darkhorse comic character, like Hellboy,The Mask,X and many more!
Vanya is another character that they change in the show because she has so many more abilities she controls sound waves she can drain life she can give life her powers seem super broken she had enough power to destroy the moon like
Amazing Video as always. You explained so much of the stuff not mentioned in the show, and as someone who is slow to read the books, it cleared up a lot of info. Thanks!

Super late to commenting on this, but man I loved this show! Just watched the show for a second time, so good!!!
Ok, just yesterday I was in my car asking a friend if they were watching UA because of a comic background. She said she wasn’t aware of one but just liked the show. Today, out of nowhere, a UA video appears in my KZread choices. I didn’t google UA. Trippy. Thanks for helping me understand the show!
I loveddddd this show but wasnt familiar with the comic it was based on at all so glad you uploaded this. Keep the videos coming🖤
this is awesome i just finished my own review on the show and my next step is to comic binge on the series
Can't wait for season 2 😁.
This is the dark horse version of the xmen.
So this means we get another 2 season of this great show!
Cool episode. The show was very different then I expected, but I did enjoy it.
First MCR and now I’m finding out about The Umbrella Academy??? Man, Gerard Way really is a force to be reckoned with.
At first I didn’t know about the umbrella academy but after seeing the white violin again I remember telling someone that the comic they were reading seemed cool and that brought me back because it was all the way when I was in 7th grade music class
I have been waiting for this
Lemme find out Arris is a wrestling fan! You my friend just became even more awesome 🙌🏽
