What did Yea Forums think of the umbrella academy?

Seething.

hey, i got my (you), that's all i wanted
thanks, pal

being serious, racist jokes apart:

1) they put the show online almost at the same time as doom patrol. terrible decision, normies will get all confuse, because its a very similar vibe.

2) dyke doing that stupid interview becomes a meme and no one comments about THE SHOW - the reason of the fucking interview. surprise, a dyke woman doing stupid shit.

3) if wasnt for that, this shit could really be the next hit from netflix. they did a terrific job at fucking up and im glad they did, because this looks like a comic book movie by a gay alternative movie director.

yeah but they pretty much left out half of the story probably due to budget, and made it more grounded. I have no idea where they would even take season 2 since so much of it relies on the stuff they left out. It's basically fan fiction at the season finale

It was alright to watch but it had a decent amount of problems. Like thinking Ellen Page could pull off playing a straight female, or the quasi incest relationship. No one really used their powers that much. The twists were unnecessary and the monkey had no reason to keep the secrets that he did. Once you get to the end you realize that a lot of it was filler.

5 and Klaus carry it aside from Hazel and Cha cha the rest of the cast is pretty average.

based on a comic book, around 22 pages, six part story and people who watch it and read it say it lacks substance and theres too much unimaginative fill in.

the absolute state of writers.

>No one really used their powers that much.
because 2 of them didn't even want to use their powers at all anymore (Klaus and Allison)
Nr.5 actually used his pretty often
and the other 2 have shit powers anyway

it was really bad.

Watched the first ep and was bored, dropped it after that.

From what I know of the show's plot, the screen writers took parts of the second story and stitched them onto the first story, which is how they managed to get 10 eps out of it without having the retarded carnival robot attack from the comics.
With the first story in the comics, basically nothing happens and 90% of the run of the comic is the characters arguing and monologuing about their family problems and how their "father's" shit personality ruined their lives. It's REALLY boring and pointless and anyone who says that its good should be ignored out of hand.

what's it about?

and the art is... atrocious.

but what you said coincide with that dancing scene on the mansion, pure attempt to pull a wes anderson vibe.

Kids go to superhero academy.
Superhero academy is bad environment for children.
Years later dad dies, and forces the kids to see each other again.
It's alright - mostly because some of the character interactions are interesting and funny - but it has the problem of having characters act like incomprehensible retards to amp up the tension.

First few episodes were genuinely interesting, but they really shit the bed in the last few episodes. The definition of wasted potential.

IT WAS ALL A DREAM I USED TO READ WORD UP MAGAZINE

The art is great.

Only watched snippets, it seemed pretty autistic, user. I don't know if it's secretly genius, but I 'just don't get it'.

>43 kids
>only 7 adopted
>obvious writing regarding one of them
>shitty backstory for the other 6

the only interesting one, ever, was Five

I turned it off during the dance scene in episode 1. Really just hated the whole thing and that was the breaking point.

Hated it’s depiction of a drug addict. Hated Ellen Page STILL pretending to be 16 years old. Then the music plays and before the first episode wraps they’re doing weird fanservice shit to get clipped and posted in fandoms. “VANYA IS LITERALLY ME WHEN I DANCE LOL”

This gets thrown around a lot but I really mean it here. It feels like those Supernatutal/Dr. Who/Sherlock/The Hobbit obsessed Tumblr freaks from like 5 years ago grew up and made a TV show. It’s Tumblr-bait. I hated it.

I couldn't get past the first episode, it was so boring.

The dance scene was meant to set the tone

can we just take a moment to talk about just how bad that dance by her was? I doubt they were given direction and were told to just dance, and she was so awkward. if I ever saw anyone dancing like that, I would have them tested for retardation

you should have said apeshit you fucking retard

Yeah it does, and it's really dumb. I watched the first and last episodes and it played out exactly how I guessed. The biggest problem is that it can't decide if it wants to be serious or light.

Funny random dancing is a great tone

It was really bad, like I don’t dance but I also don’t get in front of a camera. It wasn’t good to watch.

Also the really big dude looked terrible. I don’t know if it’s the fake muscles under his trench coat or if they fucked up the force perspective. But it looked really dumb and not convincing at all. Why not just cast like, a big guy?

Edmund kemper was the only good thing in this serie

You mean it’s not competently written enough to do both. You can do both, good things can do both. Even if it decided on one or the other it’s not good. It would either be self-serious and shit or painfully unfunny as shit.

Spider-Verse won an Oscar, no excuses anymore. If you’re going to make capeshit that tries to be both funny and dramatic do it right.

different user, the dance was meant to indicate that the characters still had a sense of nostalgia in common with each other, even if they were all not willing to share that with each other (hence, everyone dances secluded from everyone else)

this is basic shit man

It was interesting. Kinda boring near the end, predictable maybe?
and ellen page just make it worse

>Also the really big dude looked terrible. I don’t know if it’s the fake muscles under his trench coat or if they fucked up the force perspective. But it looked really dumb and not convincing at all. Why not just cast like, a big guy?

He had a Gorilla's body. No really, that's the lore. Him looking that way was deliberate.

I haven't read the comic but it had some interesting concepts and I liked the tone they were trying to set. It just felt under cooked like a lot of netflix originals. Like that disenchanted show you could tell there were jokes and reaction shots (especially with the eric andre devil guy) that were clearly written to be punched up or developed later on that they just didn't have the time/money to rework. This was the same, felt like maybe there wasn't enough money or time to really flesh out a better show. Also I thought the whole thing with the daughter would have played better if she was shown to clearly have autism, would have made Allison a lot more sympathetic if she was dealing with a truly difficult situation that a lot of people wouldn't know how to handle even without superpowers. The scene where she uses her powers just felt so underwhelming to me, like if your daughter keeps asking you to read her a story just say no and walk out of the room, she made it seem like she would throw these crazy tantrums and it felt pretty mild on screen. The vietnam war flashback was also really underwhelming. Even if its hacky or overdone it shouldn't be too hard to force an emotional scene about a brother in arms dying in a characters arms.

Yeah, I get it. It’s still really bad.

I mean her defining character trait is that she is average or bad at literally everything she tries. The direction was almost definitely to dance to dance the way a social outcast who is bad at dancing would

Yet another thing bad on purpose. That doesn’t excuse any of it. I haven’t accidentally taken a shit since I was a baby.

Better than expected, sometimes too slow though.

the problem its the way they do it.

and i wont deny: ellen page.

i dont understand why spend money on that annoying bitch when they could find another actress, with zero hate and that can... you know: act.

the only time ellen page convince me as a straight woman was on SUPER, by james gunn, and that was when i toght of the guy as a good actors director, because it was a miracle make her, not only straight but kinda hot.

Then half them running their fingers across a desk. Picking up objects that hold value.

Do normal shit to portray nostalgia. Don’t make them dance.

You act like nothing has ever done this before.
