Umbrella Academy: 10 Things Season 2 Must Include
9. Their Younger Selves
Season One ends with Number Five zapping the Academy away after Vanya’s violent violin concert into another time. However, just before they leap, we see them as their younger selves for a second.
Number Five was an endlessly interesting character in Season One, before you even get to his plot. As an adult in a human body, Number Five has a unique perspective on life. Hopefully in the next season, we’ll see that expanded upon.
This could mean that we get to see not only Number Five, but all of them in their younger bodies, retaining their adult minds. How they handle that would make for a very interesting watch. Someone like Klaus especially, with his rather grown up desires, might struggle with this new predicament.
The downside of this is that while The Umbrella Academy struck gold with Aidan Gallagher, finding more child actors of his calibre will be difficult. Missing out on more brilliance from the likes of Ellen Page and Robert Sheehan doesn’t sound like something to aim for either.
Of course, depending on how exactly the time hopping is explained, we might see the reintroduction of another important character too...
