Rather, they were given their names by Grace, the android mother he created to care for them. In The Umbrella Academy's original timeline, Reginald never named the Hargreeves children. How did the Sparrow Academy get their names? But this doesn't explain the Hargreeves' earlier purchases, and certainly not the employment of professionals such as a tailor. Luther did demonstrate few compunctions pilfering condoms from a disappeared seller's stall and the elaborate wedding the gang pulls together at the end of the world could only be done by raiding the hotel pantry. It's more understandable later on in the season, as retail staff presumably get wiped out by kugelblitz waves and leave their wares open to looting. How are they paying for everything? Is Allison vigorously abusing her power offscreen? Do they all have valuable watches they're able to pawn off? However, The Umbrella Academy literally spends an entire scene establishing that the Hargreeves do not have any money. I can and will suspend disbelief in many situations, and could probably have excused all of this in other circumstances. Luther eventually trades what I can only assume is a ridiculously expensive watch for two rooms, the scene firmly establishing that the Umbrella Academy aren't exactly flush with liquid assets.īut then Allison takes a taxi ride to her home and back, Viktor gets a haircut, Five gets a brand new bespoke suit, and the siblings all drink what seems to be half of the Obsidian's alcohol supply. When the first edition Hargreeves arrive at the Hotel Obsidian, they're forced to turn out their pockets in an attempt to rustle up enough cash for their accommodation. Where are the Umbrella Academy getting their money? In no particular order, here are 10 of the many, many burning questions we've been left with after The Umbrella Academy's Season 3 finale. However, there are some nagging questions that have left me wondering long past The Umbrella Academy's end credits, pertaining to everything from trivial issues to significant plot points. 'The Umbrella Academy' Season 3 review: The Hargreeves face off against the Sparrow Academy (Reginald could have found some other way to repeatedly kill Klaus, but that would likely have resulted in a much darker tone than we got from the pair literally playing in traffic.) After all, The Umbrella Academy's plot would have been considerably slowed by normal vehicular accident protocol and humans are frequently terrible people. I'm even happy to leave significant questions such as "why was Lila scoffing down sushi while pregnant?" and "why didn't a single driver who hit Klaus stop?" unanswered. I'm not talking about questions like "who is Jennifer?" or "what is Christopher's origin story?" Mysteries such as these have a high likelihood of being addressed in the next season, or are clearly left deliberately unexplained - at least for the time being. Even so, the series' third season raised a lot of questions that are difficult to ignore. Of all the Netflix-distributed sci-fi/fantasy series featuring an ensemble cast, superpowers, a mysterious suited man experimenting on numbered children, and stand-out musical sequences, The Umbrella Academy is my favourite.
