#tua the frankel footage

[sideblogandabiscuit]

Diego: How long's it been since you've seen the old man?

Five: Forty-five years.

D: That's a trip.

F: No kidding. You know, when I was stuck out there in the apocalypse, there wasn't a day that went by where I didn't hear his voice in my head.

D: What was he saying? [picking the door lock] Ah, shit.

F: "I told you so."

D: Well, if Dad's here, he's never met you before, so he can't say , "I told you so."

F: I'm sure he'll find a way.

These two understood the weight of their father's burden. Not to say that the other's didn't but...for Five to be open and Diego to get it and find a work around - even if Five shut it down.

Yeah. Great moment.

The Umbrella Academy 2x02 - The Frankel Footage

[avaplayzalot]

Re-rewatching TUA, and I’m on 2x2 “the frankel footage” and I just got to the scene where Five has to describe Diego and he’s all like “imagine Batman, then aim lower”. This is in 1963. Batman at this point wasn’t the brooding and emo sad guy we know today, he was a funny comedic character at this point (I think, I’m just vaguely remembering video essays for this info of Batman). Elliot probably thinks that Diego is some funny stupid idiot who runs around town with weird toys and gadgets and stuff, which isn’t exactly far off and technically five is still right in this way

The Umbrella Academy -S02E02

*Luther carries a gun to see Vanya*

Me: Oh, Luther you dumb f***

*Luther apologizes to Vanya*

Me: Damn, that’s more like it.

[darkalinas]

I just came here to tell you that I’m sorry for my part in what happened.

The Umbrella Academy Season Two Episode Two: The Frankel Files

[laststandx3]

In the Frankel Footage you can hear the sound of something exploding. the sound Five and Diego hear is not a gunshot. it’s an explosion. if only they didn’t stop the film when they saw Reginald they would have figured out everything right then. 

[home-and-having-tea]

Proof Diego Hargreeves isn’t cishet:

[annemarieyeretzian]

is luther actually apologizing to vanya because I hope this is not another trick he should apologize!!!

[whatsupwalnut]

Does Klaus cut his own hair in 2x02 or does Ben do it for him

[bellashusband]

You know the other window was open, right?

- Diego, learning from his past mistakes.

[sideblogandabiscuit]

Lila: How do you get through a day?

Diego: Get out. I can do this on my own.

L: Dr. Moncton was right, this hero complex is no joke.

D: That's not what this is about.

L: Of course it is. You want to prove to Daddy that you're a big success.

D: You don't know anything about me.

L: I know everything about you. You are an open book written for very dumb children.

Best comeback ever. Period.

[patrickswayzeme]

“How do you get through a day?”

Damn, everyone is really coming for Diego in this ep

Warning: TUA Season 2 Ep 6 Spoilers

-

Diego told you to wait in the car, but of course you weren’t going to listen and he knew that. He had even rolled his eyes when you said you will, followed by the slam of the car door. You waited until they were all inside before you made your way in. You knew what floor it was, so you could just simply use the stairs and your abilities to catch up.

As you walked into the grand lobby, you looked up and smirked. Or you could just fly up. You closed your eyes and concentrated, your long coat turning into wings and as you opened your eyes, they were black like an eagle’s. With a bend of the knees you jumped up with your arms wide open, feeling yourself fly past the floors until you reached your destination. You landed on the railing and made your way to the elevator.

You were planning a grand entrance, but as the metal doors opened, a strong stench flooded the corridor. You shrunk back and cough, making way for the others to flee the confinement.

“Happy that you came?” Diego teased.

“Shut up,” you muttered, shoving his shoulder.

“Come on, let's go. And let me do all the talking, alright,” Five said, walking ahead towards the Tiki Lounge. “And, (Y/n), this is a family matter-”

“I’ll stay out of it for as much as possible,” you said, raising your hands, “No problem, old man.”

“Thank you,” he said, fixing his jacket, “Though I highly doubt that you’ll follow through, at least you're the sensible one. I know you won’t say anything without reason.”

“Whoa,” Luther said defensively.

The others debated who should talk first and how to go about facing their father while you stood to the side, sitting yourself next to Diego. You sighed when Diego chucked the conch that Vanya suggested to use across the room, already getting a bad feeling about this meeting.

“You tried,” you told Vanya, “And I think it would have worked with an even tempered group.”

With the slam of the doors, the group fell silent, watching a younger Reginald Hargreeves stride over towards the head of the table with a book in hand. They all took their seats, an uneasiness washing over them. It had been years since they’ve faced their abusive father, so you couldn’t blame them. Yet, this version of their father doesn’t even know the trauma that he had brought to them in the future.

You kept your promise so far and stayed silent, listening in to their discussion. That is, until Hargreeves wanted them to prove their powers. For a while, you thought you could get away with it by sitting back, but he turned to you.

“And you?” he asked.

“Thankfully, I’m not one of your adopted children,” you said, sipping on your pina colada.

“Then why are you here at this important meeting?” he demanded, staring you down condescendingly. “You have no business here.”

“Moral support?”

Hargreeves scoffed and was about to retort when Diego snapped. He leaned forward. “Look, we know that you’re involved in the plot to assassinate the president,” he started.

You sighed, shaking your head. You told him that Hargreeves being there didn’t mean that he conspired JFK’s assassination. Correlation does not prove causation, but Diego was dead set sure that his dear old dad was up to no good.

“You were recently hospitalized, isn’t that correct?” Hargreeves said. Diego shook his head, knowing where he was going with this. “You still seem to be suffering with delusions of grandeur and acute paranoia.”

“Am I?” Diego took out the photo taken from the Frankel Footage and pointed at it. “Explain this. That’s you. That’s two days from now on the grassy knoll at the exact same spot that the president is gonna get shot.”

Hargreeves took the photo and eyed Diego critically. “Well… I suppose you solved it, then. You single handedly unearthed my nefarious plot. Is that what you want to hear?”

You grabbed Diego's arm, urging him to sit back down, but he shrugged you off. You looked towards his siblings for help, but they were as silent as you were, watching the scene unfold. There was no need for your powers for the extra boost in your senses to tell that Hargreeves was getting to him. Hearing him continuing to criticize Diego might also be getting to the others as well, even Vanya, who was lowering her head.

As the insults kept hitting, the cold hard truths in the form of knives stabbing Diego over and over in the wounds that hadn’t quite healed, he slowly slunk down in his seat. This time, you gripped his arm and he let you as he shook.

“-A man in over his head!” Hargreeves concluded.

“Y-y-you’re w-w-wro-ng,” Diego managed to reply.

You knew Diego had been cut deep when he started stuttering again.“Okay! Time for my role as moral support,” you said, setting down your drink. “Listen, Reggie. Diego is someone who wants to save people and save the world because he’s a kind and compassionate person that wants to do good, not because he’s a calculative soldier following orders from a man who shows more affection to his experimental ape than his own adopted human children. The fact that the apocalypse could have been prevented had you been a goddamn father for them says a lot about you and what you think you’re achieving, so I suggest you hold off your tactless psychological analysis, that is clearly not going to give you any positive results, to yourself and listen to them for once. Thank you.”

“(Y/n),” Five said, reaching over to grab your shoulder.

“What?”

He pointed up at lights hanging over the table. Small black dots were falling down and landing on the table, crawling towards Hargreeves. Black widows. Your tongue tapped your incisors, confirming that fangs had grown. You looked around at the table, no one but Five and Diego meeting your eyes. You took a deep breath, feeling the fangs retreat along with the small spiders.

It was Diego’s turn to pull you down and you let him. He squeezed your arm in a sign of gratitude. You nodded, then looked back at Five. Once he knew you were calm, he pushed the discussion forward about the upcoming Doomsday.

Hargreeves was condescending as ever, acting as if it wasn’t his problem to deal with. Klaus began to act weird and you closed your eyes, switching them to cat eyes. Although cats can’t see ghosts as clearly as Klaus, they have an awareness of where they are. Ben was here.

You rushed over as Klaus collapsed, managing to let out a faint confirmation that Ben was trying to possess him. After Luther’s outburst, showing Hargreeves what he had done to him, Hargreeves simply dismissed him and walked around you as you heaved Klaus up. He eyed you curiously before continuing forward, requesting to speak to Five in private.

“Come on, big guy,” you said, “Help me?”

Luther stood there, dumbfounded, before snapping out of it, picking up Klaus with ease and dragging him all the way to the elevator. He propped him against the back wall and the others piled in, Diego being the last one and the nearest of the door.

“Congratulations,” Allison said to Luther.

“For what?”

“I think that was the first time ever that you stood up to dad,” she said, sounding impressed and Luther hadn’t realized about that until now.

“Are you okay?” Vanya asked Diego.

He was silent for a moment, looking at you, then glancing at the others over his shoulders. “So much for having my back in there,” he muttered, “Team Zero, my ass. At least (Y/n) said something, and they haven’t even met the guy before.”

“Dee, I’m pretty sure the only reason I could say anything, that I was the only one that could say anything, was because I never met him before,” you said, defending the others. “It’s not completely their fault. I wasn’t the one that had to grow up with his toxic bullshit, okay? You guys did. I give you guys credit for even coming all the way here in the first place to face him.”

“Well, you gave us too much credit,” he said, walking out as soon as the doors opened.

You muttered your farewells to the others before rushing after Diego. You stopped him outside by the curb, grabbing his arm. He whipped around and pointed a finger at you in warning.

“Diego, he’s an asshole. That’s a massive understatement,” you said, “but all those things he said does not change all that you’ve accomplished on your own. You survived with the cards that you were dealt with. You saved people.” Diego shook his head, turning to walk away but you held firm. “You saved me, remember?”

“Thought you said that you had that situation handled,” he said, his cheekiness slowly getting back.

“I’m not afraid anymore to admit that I needed a little help back then,” you said, “I’m always here if you need to talk, Dee.”

Diego sighed, closing his eyes and pressed his forehead against yours. “I know.”

He opened his eyes and saw a familiar figure moving in the parking lot. Just like that, he was off. And, like always, you made sure he didn’t go and get himself killed.

[thesevenumbrellas]

any theories on any of the episode names for szn 2?

I AM GLAD YOU ASKED! POSSIBLE TUA SPOILERS AHEAD:

Right Back Where We Started if they’re going back to the sixties this might be when it happens. However the sixties isn’t where they started SO maybe they go back to the funeral first? ALSO we saw a photo op of them at the funeral again but I believe with different clothes. So that’s my guess. We get the funeral again before sixties.

The Frankel Footage Key word footage. Something on their home? Also Frankel is a famous racehorse.... not sure if that’s tied into it somehow?

The Swedish Job Doesn’t give us much. Sounds like a Leverage heist. Interesting that the episode was also listed as “The Singapore Sling” which is a cocktail. Again doesn’t give us much.

The Majestic 12 doesn’t appear to give much BUT ACTUALLY Majestic-12 is an actual thing.

“The organization is claimed to be the code name of an alleged secret committee of scientists, military leaders, and government officials, formed in 1947 by an executive order by U.S. President Harry S. Truman to facilitate recovery and investigation of alien spacecraft.”

Soooooo huh.... and Reggie is an alien... and maybe so are the siblings???

Valhalla I think we all know what Valhalla is. I’m going to make a big guess here but I think this is connected to Klaus and the afterlife. Maybe with Dave because he’s a dead warrior who died in battle— aka he went to “Valhalla.”

A Light Supper. Reminds me of the last supper... idk what this means... this would be the middle of the season so story wise if should be around the time shit hits the fan.

OGA for OGA. According to urban dictionary OGA specifically capitalized like that means crackhead... so maybe things didn’t go well in Valhalla? There are more things though like a Nebraska airport code, office of general assembly.. also “Other Government Agency.”

So BIG PREDICTION: They escape or get rid of the Commision but are then stuck with the Majestic 12 instead as the big “agency” they’re against. Maybe they get rid of the commission with Majestic 12’s help.

The Seven Stages. So... I’m pretty sure this is talking about the seven stages of grief. I think someone dies in the previous episode, guys. Not sure who and I’m kind of hoping it’s similar to last season where Dave and Eudora died so both Klaus and Diego are grieving. I hope they don’t kill a sibling. This could also be a reference to Vanya.

743. So obviously “Vanya” “Klaus” and “Allison.” Maybe they go off together, or have to save the others, or have to be saved... Could also be a flight number or something similar but that’s a very vague and weak guess. It’s also North Carolina zip code. I looked it up and not much happened in North Carolina in 1963 other than the Black Christmas Boycott so I don’t think it’s that.

The End of Something. So obviously this is the end of the season. Not much else I can say. It’s well named lol. It’s gonna be the end of something and then we wait a year and a half for a 3rd season. 😂
