Damn Vanya was a total BADASS in this episode
I hate the alternate reality Umbrella Academy. So mission accomplished.
"I just never had my ass handed to me like that before. It was like here you go, it's you ass"
mr. pennycrumb made an appearance and too bad that he and five didn't even meet
Already out of the gate swinging! This show always goes straight to 10 and stays there as long as possible.
If they are, in fact, in a different timeline, then Allison shouldn’t have a kid, or at least not the same kid. If she does, that would make no sense. So we’ll see…
Love the plot twist. The weird dancing is way off tune for this show.
Both the dance-off and the fighting scenes were brilliant in a way, but way too long.
Also, the CG is quite sloppy at some parts
A bit of a weird start.
Intro straight into a stupid dance scene. The show already did stuff like that. OK, it's funny the first minute, but it goes on and on and on, all for something you know is useless and not real. Halfway through it, it was already too much.
Then a long fan service fight. Fan service because it's useless too. It's a nice intro to present the new guys powers, but why is it even happening ?
Why are the umbrellas such assholes ? It's not like they're not used to weird things happening, and they know they changed history. Did they sincerely think that there was a bunch of random people, with powers, that took over their home and settled there while they were away ? At the very least, Five wouldn't be so stupid. So no trying to understand, no trying to talk, they just go into a fight ? What. The. Fuck.
But it still sets some good ideas in motion for the season.
1⃣ New guys with new powers. Will they fight or work together in the end ?
2⃣Reginald is still there, and the dynamic with the team is strange (What's with him being all obedient. Remember that he's not just their adoptive father but a weird alien)
3⃣The cube ?? What's his role, does it have other powers too ?
4⃣I think there were a lot more babies in the original timeline, so something weird happened
5⃣What's with the old guy ? (Gonna bet someone impacted by their actions in 63)
6⃣The weird energy ball
Vanya getting all tough with Marcus was pretty cool.
Some expected annoying plotlines:
- It's very obvious that since they were not adopted by Reginald, they all had very different lives in this timeline, so Alison stupidly thinking that she's just going to get her daughter back will probably lead to some very annoying drama
- Come on Luther really need to stop with his sister fixation
- Diego's son
- They pretty obviously won't keep Vanya as Vanya, just hoping this will not be a major plotline, wasting screen time for real life stuff
I'll never get tired of (CGI) train scenes :) :D
That "dance battle" was unexpected. It being a "dream"/hallucination made much more sense.
The members of the Sparrow Academy are really quite some assholes... :o
It sucks that they lost against them but at least Vanya gave them something to remember.
Vanya was super badass when she talked to Marcus. Quite a powerful moment :)
Stanley reminds me of Stan Lee.
I forgot did Hargreeves knew that Ben was on the old team and still chose him or he simply didn't know?
Been working so hard
I'm punching my card
Eight hours, for what?
Oh, tell me what I got
I gotten this feeling
That time's just holding me down
I'll hit the ceiling
Or else I'll tear up this town
Tonight I gotta cut loose, footloose
Kick off your Sunday shoes
Please, Louise
Pull me up off my knees
Jack, get back
C'mon, before we crack
Lose your blues
Everybody cut footloose
You're playing so cool
Obeying every rule
Dig way down in your heart
You're burning, yearning for some
Somebody to tell you
That life ain't passing you by
I'm trying to tell you
It will if you don't even try
You can fly if you'd only cut loose, footloose
Kick off your Sunday shoes
Ooh-wee, Marie
Shake it, shake it for me
Whoa, Milo
C'mon, c'mon let's go
Lose your blues
Everybody cut footloose
cut footloose
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) cut footloose
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) cut footloose
we got to turn you around
(Second) you put your feet on the ground
(Third) now take a hold of your soul
I'm turning it loose, footloose
Kick off your Sunday shoes
Please, Louise
Pull me up off my knees
Jack, get back
C'mon, before we crack
Lose your blues
Everybody cut footloose
Footloose (footloose), footloose
Kick off your Sunday shoes
Please, Louise
Pull me up off my knees
Jack, get back
C'mon, before we crack
Lose your blues
Everybody cut, everybody cut
Everybody cut, everybody cut
Everybody cut, everybody cut
(Everybody) everybody cut footloose
I'm glad mr hargreeves ("Walternate") will be a larger part of this season.

Oh damn that scene with Vanya and #1. Lay it out plain - don't fuck with her!
Will be interesting to see how she becomes Viktor but damn they could have given Elliot a better wig for the start of this. It's really good he was comfortable enough to play out the Vanya parts of the season though.
