Umbrella Academy season 4 ending so bad I've been getting literal fever dreams about it

[iisthings]

no joke when i was watching tua season four i kept thinking there is so way this is the real thing. i was like this is a joke. this is fake

[iisthings]

As much as the writing of umbrella academy season 4 was ass, the art direction and cinematography was real eyecandy to look at at times

I felt like the editing was kind of awkward at certain points but eh nice compositions and colour grading make my head go wheee

“i felt that five had to have a love story” okay steve !! fine. i’ll humour you. picture this : lila and five in the subway. they’re travelling to different timelines, loosing hope, trying to find a way home. then they get to a timeline and five sees dolores. but she’s a human, not a mannequin. he falls for her. loves her. wants to stay with her in her timeline. and that’s why lila has to force him to come home. she has kids, a husband, a life. five wants to stay with dolores more than anything. but he goes home, back to his timeline, because he knows he has to save his family. because he loves them more.

Season 4 of tua is the opposite of fan service. Fan disservice if you will.

So the point of the umbrella academy is to not fix you’re family trauma and kill yourself for being born

HEY DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO THIS???

[iisthings]

spies are forever… but make it vintage 🔫🍌

Couldn't stop thinking about Spies Are Forever since seeing it live in London sooo

I figured out what specific time window it's set in!

We know that at the start of the show Cynthia is on the phone with Nixon and refers to him as Vice President

Weeellll thanks to my partner laughing their ass off when I showed them and them then questioning the historical accuracy of the joke, we then looked when/if Richard Nixon ever was Vice president

And he was! Under Dwight D. Eisenhower, whose presidency ran from january 20 1953 - january 20 1961

(This might be common knowledge, but I'm not american so whooo to me for learning something new)

JFK was elected right after, which is in line with the historical accuracy of saf, since at the end of the show, we again see Cynthia at the phone, this time with President Kennedy

Here's a nice chart for better visualisation:

Also! In the first phonecall she has with Nixon, she refers to an election he lost!

(Again very well may be common knowledge, but my non-american ass doesn't know SHIT)

So to my partner: Spies Are Forever is wonderfully historically accurate :)

To everyone else: the play takes place over 5-6 days, so using the 20th of january as point zero, with a margin of ± 6 days, we can say that the main plot of Spies Are Forever takes place sometime between january 14 1961 and january 26 1961!

Tl;dr Spies Are Forever takes place over the course of 5-6 days between January 14 1961 - January 26 1961
