The Umbrella Academy Fans Rage Over 'Absolutely Horrendous' Season 4

As a longtime fan who has been following The Umbrella Academy since its debut, I must say that the final season was a rollercoaster ride of emotions – mostly negative ones. After three seasons filled with intrigue, suspense, and the occasional dose of humor, the abrupt ending left me feeling like I had just watched a train wreck in slow motion.


This article reveals spoilers for Season 4 of The Umbrella Academy.

In a surprising twist, the series The Umbrella Academy on Netflix, known for its unique blend of superheroes and family dysfunction, has concluded with an unconventional finale. Some viewers found themselves puzzled by certain decisions, like the abbreviated episode count and complex conclusion, in the final six episodes. Despite attempts to wrap up loose ends, it’s revealed that the Hargreeves siblings weren’t supposed to exist originally, and their story doesn’t end happily for them. If you were expecting a joyful resolution, you might want to seek it elsewhere.

In the commencement of Season 4, the Hargreeves siblings encounter an eerily mundane world. Having thwarted their third apocalypse, they’re catapulted into a rebooted universe where their powers are absent, and life is distressingly commonplace. Unlike before, Alison isn’t gracing the screens of detergent commercials, Luther has swapped heroics for a job at a strip club, and Viktor runs a bar in Canada. The former superheroes find themselves ensnared in mediocrity they had always evaded, and matters only grow more peculiar from then on. Fans’ reactions are mounting swiftly, with The Independent gathering these two poignant posts:

A different viewer commented, “It was just terrible; I wish I hadn’t taken the time to watch it. It completely ruined characters I had admired for a long time. I feel cheated and let down.” Another fan expressed that the finale will be remembered as “one of the most disappointing ends to a series in history.”

Reflecting on the rollercoaster ride of the season, I must admit there were moments that left me questioning the show’s direction. However, if they could manage to tie up loose ends in a compelling finale, I might have been more forgiving. The final episode unfolded with an unexpected twist: the siblings vanishing from existence, sacrificing themselves for the greater good and bringing the story to an end. The response from fans has been overwhelmingly negative; many expressing their displeasure, stating that they felt let down by this abrupt and melancholic conclusion.

As a longtime fan of gripping television finales, I must admit that I’ve often found myself disappointed by some of the endings I’ve witnessed over the years. However, after binge-watching numerous shows, I can confidently say that Dexter Season 8 holds the title for the worst finale on Television in my book. But then, I recently dove into The Umbrella Academy and, oh boy, was I in for a surprise!

The Umbrella Academy Team Is Proud of Season 4

As a passionate film aficionado, I can’t help but feel a sense of pride as I witness the exceptional work the Netflix team has been crafting, based on the comics co-created by Gerard Way. In a recent interview with Tudum, Gerard himself expressed his satisfaction with their collective efforts over the years.

In truth, their infectious energy truly resonated with me. They’re an outstanding group who enjoy themselves immensely. Since I deliberately didn’t hinder their fun, it blossomed into something extraordinary – a unique entity of its own.

By the conclusion of this thrilling adaptation of “The Umbrella Academy,” it’s evident that the series will be cherished for its captivating plotlines and outrageous moments, similar to how “Game of Thrones” was admired, despite some viewers finding its ending unsatisfying.
