The Umbrella Academy Season 2: 10 Shocking Comic Moments That Must Happen
Containing all the chicken-horses and presidential assassinations you could ever want - and more!
With the teasers for season 2 of the Umbrella Academy being released last week - and with it being predicted to be set for the end of 2020 - it's worth considering what this portion of the show will actually contain.
And this is a complicated game, as while the Netflix hit adapted huge portion of the comic series it came from, it also changed many, many things. Not only did it have a completely different ending to the first volume of it's written nameksake, but it also took from parts of all three volumes that have been currently released, leaving it in a proverbial limbo as to what it could and would take from next.
Which is weirdly actually a perfect set up, as when you combine the fact the producers are willing to take from any part of the comics with the fact that season 1 ends with the gang going back in time, you're left with the simple fact that anything from the comic series could appear in this next installment. And with such an absolutely wonderful and wild selection of moments from the graphic novel left, it's a sure bet that even more shocking moments from the comic will appear in the show once again.
10. Hotel Oblivion Appears - The Umbrella Academy: Hotel Oblivion
Though the current Netflix series has taken considerable portions of its plot from the pages of the third volume of the Umbrella Academy series, named Hotel Oblivion, it leaves out one crucial detail from this section of the plot; namely, that of the actual Hotel Oblivion itself.
Because the hotel is a hugely important feature of the world of the Umbrella Academy, as it exists in an alternate universe where the team's mentor and surrogate father, Sir Reginald Hargreeves, traps the villains that his superhero proteges have caught - and where he leaves them for eternity.
It's a huge reminder in terms of both how absolutely remorseless Hargreeves is, and how unnervingly powerful he is, as the man has somehow managed to turn a universe into his own personal prison.
