#tua 4 speculation

[hellomagicalsouls]

i wonder if when allison reset the universe that she brought back brelly ben and he's just been inside sparrow Ben's conscious this whole time.

slowly pushing his way to the front and that's why he looks like shit. both consciousness fighting for control think ben and klaus in the alley. maybe brelly ben wants out.

maybe they can't remember how ben died cause he isn't dead anymore. she reset his death when she reset the universe. just didn't separate the bodies.

steve blackman talking about the umbrella academy season 4 basically saying “yes there’s only 6 episodes instead of 10 this season but don’t worry they’re longer than usual!!!!! they’re almost an hour long now!!!!!”

steve you misunderstand me i’d prefer if each episode was 3 hours long at the very least

[sweetpastillas]

if allison and diego die for their children im going with them im so serious

[air--so--sweet]

Wait, wait, wait -

The red blue motif, showing that this universe is a merging of the two previous. Red for the Sparrow universe and Blue for the Umbrella universe

And Gene and Jean wearing shirts that are red and blue because they know about the two timelines.

And, Ben who is apparently going to end the world in a blue jacket with something red growing under his skin.

Allison stopping Reginald before he finished lead to an imperfect merging of universes and therefore an imperfect merging of Bens. You cannot tell me differently. This is both Bens in one body, I am sure of this and I will die on this hill!

yk what's bad? having an ENTIRE fandom hate a season finale!

tua was disappointing, emotionless and out of pocket

too many plot holes, overlapping storyline, I mean, this season was messy!

shame on the writers, directors and Netflix themselves for ruining something we've waited 3 years for.

thinking about that article where Aidan talks about Five being lost this season, about how he doesn't know what his place is in the universe. thinking about how it might be because there's no longer any apocalypse to stop, no world to save, and comparing it to similar circumstances in season 3. thinking about the fact Five's response to having fulfilled his purpose in that situation is not to despair but to celebrate. you could argue that maybe it's because the reality of it hasn't set in, that he's essentially in the honeymoon phase of no longer having a place in the world, but I'd argue there's another consideration - his family. Five in S3 is content, happy even, despite no longer having a purpose because at least he still knows his place. and that's amongst the people he's dedicated decades of his life to saving. thinking about how, by the end of the season, Five was ready to finally put an end to it all - no more stopping the apocalypse. because at least he'd get to go out surrounded by the people he loved. but S4 sees them all split up. and now Five's without a purpose and without his family. and there's no end of the world to save them from; they won, timeline fixed, universe restored. his family is finally safe. and Five is still alone.

the unbearable tragedy of getting what you want.

(Season 4, Purple Powered Number Five)

~I was still feeling inspired by the trailer, so I tried to mix my usual digital painting style with a more cartoon-ish or anime version drawing to make this new Five as he's coming in hot and so confused and not just by the change in the aura his power gives off. Not sure if it works but I gave it my best shot.

People questioning Klaus's gloves/thinking they're bluescreen for CGI: if you look closer he's also got a mask around his neck. I'm PRETTY sure we're going to get a major thanatophobic Klaus this season as a result of him losing his immortality. I'm thinking obsessive germophobia and all round caution. He's even looking at that shot glass like he's worried about it.

If this turns out to be true, I'm genuinely excited. It'll be such a huge contrast to how he's been in previous seasons but it honestly makes sense given everything his character has been through.

Extremely loud incorrect buzzer.

Yes, comic book five SO would. But we aren't talking about comic book five. Comic book Five and Netflix Five are so diversely different. First off, comic Five spends his time and money when not doing jobs on hookers n shit. Netflix Five spends his time going over math repeatedly and driving himself crazy while doing so. They are very different.

And that 'tension' you're talking about? That's them forming a friendship despite the fact that they have every reason to rip each other apart.

He killed her parents. She works for the commission, let alone is the Handlers daughter. They hate each other. But they understand each other and in spite of their prone hatred for each other, grow close over the seasons.

However, whatever the fuck that was in season 4, is wrong.

Five loves his family more than anything. He spent 45 years trying to get back to them and save them. Him getting pissed and saying he wants to 'fuckin kill' diego over being rightfully upset that Lila had an affair with Five is so out of character.

Yeah not all marriages are perfect especially for these people. But the fact is that there was no god damn reason to write that shit in. Diego and Lila were falling out but by the end of it Diego remembered how much he loved Lila and Lila wanted to get back to Diego and the family they built in spite of her and Five's fling.

In season 3 Five and Lila become closer while also hinting at the fact that they aren't gonna become a thing. Examples:

Five: "What are you doing in here?"

Lila: "Shaving my bush, ya little perv."

Five: "No offense Lila, but I like my women a little less likely to kill me in my sleep."

[probably not the exact quotes but I didn't go digging, this is just from my memory so don't bite me if it's not spot on]

"He's desperate and horny" you're so fucking weird.

Season 4 Five makes no sense and I will die on this hill.

TUA S4 trailer came out!!

AND WHAT???

I guess it makes sense that things are centered off of Ben, every timeline, it was HIM who changed. S1, he's dead. S2, he's, well, he's dead dead. S3, he's ALIVE. "Different" person, different academy. S4... ?

Also, my favorite part probably:

Reginald 😭 🤓☝️

[hellomagicalsouls]

genuine question. do we think klaus got possessed or became a gateway to the dead?

OR is he once again the main connection to ✨potentially✨ bring brelly ben back?

klaus being the reason ben comes back would be kinda cute and full circle ish.

klaus being Ben's tether to life instead of death would be interesting

im thinking gateway. although i did see someone say maybe this is when his powers came back but idk about that yet

i want to see him help people but i also love that he's the gateway

possible slight season 4 tua spoilers ahead!!

okay so i did a bit of casual stalking on imdb for the tua cast and i found some interesting possible hints:

pogo is going to be featured in 2 episodes of season 4

grace is going to be featured in 1 episode of season 4

hazel and agnes both are going to be featured in 1 episode of season 4?????

claire will be in all 6 episodes of season 4

the handler will be featured in 1 episode of season 4

sloane won’t be featured in any episodes of season 4 :(

the swedes might be featured in one episode of season 4????

there is a decent chance some of these are mistakes (so don’t hold me to them!!!) but i found them all pretty interesting, especially hazel and agnes???? what are they doing back lmfao (also i love them so much)

[ambrosia-ghostie]

i need the umbrella academy fandom to check their ableist comments in speculations about klaus in s4.

developing a phobia does not make you cowardly, or less endearing, or weak. even people who once displayed certain personality traits can change as a result of trauma. i’m surprised the siblings are functioning as well as they were when we left them in s3 based on all the fucked up situations they’ve dealt with, tbh.

it’s fine to view media from a critical lens, but as someone who has changed over the years after experiencing trauma, the discourse about this not even confirmed (!!!) arc is really disappointing to see.

[air--so--sweet]

Klaus raised his glass but does not drink it.

I think he might be sober again. 🥹

what the emojis might mean (inferring from the teaser)

luther: 🕺 in the trailer, we see Luther at a party, in a ballpit (Luther Dashcon era?), and in an astronaut outfit. Someone mentioned that his name tag at one point says “Fred”. Could be perhaps be employed as a children’s party entertainer? Or a dancer?

diego: 📦 ok I’m not sure what this means. In the trailer he’s at a kids party (his daughter’s?) and he owns a van. Potentially delivery driver vibes?

allison: 🧑‍🧒 this one is obvious. She’s mother and probably reunited with Claire since that was her goal the whole time in S3.

klaus: 🧽 Either he works cleaning something or he became a huge germaphobe after his powers were reversed - in the teaser he wears a mask and gloves too.

five: 🕵️‍♂️ investigation!! He may be investigating how to go back to the OG timeline, or whatever was happening in the subway.

ben: 🔒 in the teaser he was coming out of somewhere with a paper bag. In the promo poster, one of the subway/time lines has a point reading “Ben is released”. Maybe from some kind of a facility? At the end of season 3 he was on a metro/train iirc.

viktor: 🍺 in the teaser it looks like he’s a bartender, so this is pretty easy to figure out.

lila: 🍼 this one is quite obvious too, Lila is mother & just had a child. Although the teaser I think reveals that Allison and Lila are going to go through something together?

reginald: 🧠 maybe a reference to how the whole universe is basically his brainchild and creation, or a reference to the “Hargreeves Home for Wayward Boys”? Which would also by extension be from his mind.

what do you guys think about the emojis?? Some of them are really cryptic but some are very simple.

pogo missing and klaus,claire, and allison being at a pet sematary……
