![]() ![]() And also, he’s an alien, which might account for some of his flair with technology. As an eccentric billionaire and inventor, the pilot of Umbrella Academy tells us Reginald was uniquely suited to “resolve to adopt as many of the children as possible.”Īs of the end of season 3, we also know it was vital to him to have seven children for… whatever that machine was he had at the end of the season. He was intensely interested in adopting the kids magically(?) born to 43 women on the 12th hour of October 1, 1989. Though he looms large over the Umbrella Academy (and by proxy, The Umbrella Academy), we know very little about Reginald’s whole thing. It stands to reason (at least as much as anything else Umbrella Academy) that in this new world where Reginald commands much more capital, maybe he was able to save Alice in some way? What the fuck is Reginald’s deal though?

Maybe she’ll be really clumsy.” Who is that with Reginald at the window?įrom what it looks like, the woman next to Reginald is the same woman who’s always been by his side, one way or another: Alice, his wife and basis for the “Mother” robot he kept around the Umbrella Academy (and the Sparrow Academy, although she was not known there as “Mother,” you perv). ![]() So I don’t know how she’ll be able to live. I think a lot of her confidence and bravado comes from this power. Ritu Arya, who plays Lila, isn’t quite so optimistic for her character: “ wouldn’t know how to function. So he might have to be a bit more clever in future seasons.” “It’s tough, though, because he’s no longer relying on his powers to sort of make up the physical difference between what he’s used to and what his body and reflexes think he can do versus what his body has actually been trained for. “As far as Five goes, I think he’d make do,” Gallagher tells Polygon. Without powers in this brave new reality, Aidan Gallagher (Five) expects that everyone will be adjusting in their own way. ![]() The kids who remember everything (Allison, Sparrow Ben, Luther, Klaus, Viktor, Five, Diego, and Lila) could be isolated because of their involvement in the machine that brought them there, however it worked. This new world could, possibly, be a testament to what he could accomplish with no super children at all, or - maybe? - had he channeled all their powers into some other alien scheme entirely. In this new world Reginald is seemingly even more a captain of industry. But is the world that Reginald’s machine threw them into - where the remaining Hargreeves children had no powers, and also Sloane was gone for some reason - where he intended to land? ![]() I’m not an expert on futuristic, possibly alien technology. She got her happy ending, but at the sacrifice of everyone else that she loves.” Why don’t they have powers? Where did Sloane go? Even so, she at least has come out on the other side with not only Claire by her side but Ray, a choice that actress Emmy Raver-Lampman tells Polygon will probably haunt her: “I think there’s bound to be an immense amount of guilt that’s going to affect her at some point. After all, it seems unlikely that Reginald would’ve programmed her a world in which she had the family she wanted. It’s unclear if what Allison did was actually something she fully understood. While the rest of the Hargreeves try to stop her, Viktor lets her go, even saying that he does trust her - only for her to push the button everyone else didn’t want pushed.

Netflix hasn’t renewed the series yet, but the idea of not having a season 4 is tough to imagine, especially since there’s a whole lot of other balls still in the air for the series beyond just the jump to a different timeline. So what does all that mean in the grand scheme of the Umbrella Academy? That’s a complicated question, really. In the finale, the members of the Umbrella Academy find themselves in an alternate reality where their father Reginald has his name on a lot of buildings, and they have no powers (and they’re not the only ones). Just when the Hargreeves kids thought they had a handle on the space-time continuum, they’re thrown for yet another loop - or, rather, into another loop. ![]()
