>that episode where she becomes Viktor >the reactions from everyone when she tells them >"wow that's great I'm happy for you" >"No I don't have a problem I'm glad you can be happy"
That was the single most awkward and forced scene in the entire show.
>okay rob, now try to pretend you are happy for that disgusting troo- uh, I mean elliot >great, now elle- uh, I mean elliot, try to feign a smile and pretend that you aren’t dying inside
>they keep forcing inclusion with each episode >be my best man! >you're my favorite brother! >you're invited to the bachelor party!
If they just did what you posted I could have just rolled my eyes and stopped caring, but they kept bringing it back up.
Agree completely. It was fine after the forced Viktor scene and everyone moved on, but they never let it go and had to keep forcing how totally natural they're new troon brother was.
I dunno, I haven't watched the third season yet.
Honestly when it comes to trans people I have no strong feelings one way or the other and will call them whatever they want I guess.
I mean there no set up and it comes out of nowhere for the character, but I guess he/they/she didn't want to play a woman anymore or whatever. Honestly It was probably the best way they could have done it, having it be two scenes and everyone accepting it. Ripping the band-aid off kind of deal.
And I'd rather have all the characters just accept it and move on rather than have a preachy hold out character who gets to be talked down to and treated as a stand in for all those evil bigots watching the show.
I honestly thought they were going to have the swap be because of time travel/alternate dimension shenanigans, but I guess the writers didn't want to be seen as ignoring trans existence or something.
Shows still bad overall for plenty of other reasons.
>but I guess he/they/she didn't want to play a woman anymore or whatever
That shouldn't be up to her to decide. You're a fricking actor being paid to act, do your job you entitled troon
>but I guess he/they/she didn't want to play a woman anymore or whatever
That shouldn't be up to her to decide. You're a fricking actor being paid to act, do your job you entitled troon
Netflix is pozzed to shit and back. Telling Ellen to continue being a girl would be a death sentence to their public image.
Then fire her and cast someone who is willing to do the part written. They could use the time travel shenanigans to explain the new character and say they didn't want to make Ellen uncomfortable doing her job. Doesn't matter at this point, but I hope Ellen knows nobody buys her troon act and she was the worst part of the worst season.
A mess of plotholes and contrivances that even based on previous seasons make little to no sense. Sparrows got no attention and the story would have been better suited being a contained narrative about their rivalry and Hargreeves pitting them against eachother to end up with only the strongest at the end.
>been better suited being a contained narrative about their rivalry and Hargreeves pitting them against eachother to end up with only the strongest at the end.
Would have been kino. Wtf was even the other of s3 besides every confirming Elliots new gender identity
Allison made a deal with Hargreeves. Hargreeves got to own the world, Allison got her husbando and daughteru while fricking over every other member of the Umbrella Academy. >rapes Luthor >reboots the universe >nukes Luthor's wife from existence >nukes Sissy from existence >doesn't make Dolores real >removes all their powers so they can't fight back
>ellen page gets first billing >meanwhile every single other actor except the black woman are the fan favorites and probably are on their way to become big stars
the fallout is gonna be fun tbh.
>Allison didn't give a single frick about her daughter in s2 >in s3 she becomes crazy because she can't see her daughter
Also I'm halfway through s3, are they actually not going to do anything with the fact that Hargreeves is an AYY LMAO? I thought that was going to be a big deal or something
Handful of super powered kids with adopted daddy issues stopping the apocalypse. They drink a lot and they play a lot of songs ala Guardians of the Galaxy.
Ellen is one of the primary characters and is the focus of a lot of the apocalyptic shit. Her 5 head is extremely distracting with every scene she is in. And her power only makes her alien appearance even worse.
Accurate. Anyway the concept was way way above the abilities of however wrote it. Normally when that happens they also botch the casting, but they actually nailed the casting. So it's such an obvious muckup of lost potential.
I wish they could write this kind of "superpowers" more often; Standard fare with mommy issues, oversized stronkman fare with daddy issues, the hypercompetent and so fuking OP the plot is based around him breaking reality, unfairly OP, and the super weird but actually useful in bizarre ways.
If the show had been -Page from the start it would have probably turned out better.
>guy is the number 1 >his super power is super strength >still gets beaten in a 1v1 fistfight against a fat normal dude
Was there a single time Luther and Diego didn't job?
>that scene at the beginning of season 2 with all the kids fighting an army in an aborted timeline
That's pretty much it. I fricking hate it. The others far outclass them in power. I want them to give those dudes a win.
They had no fricking idea what to do. By the time they were done inserting all these stronk black womyn moments and all of Elliotts self insert gender confirmation moments (while looking directly into the camera )80% of show had gone by and they had to cram the plot into the other 20%
>le quirky gay drug addict
Yeah it was a pass for me as well, but then again this show is obviously geared to those types so I guess I'm the moron for watching
It was ok when he didn't have much screentime and was seen as a joke, when they started to force the gay shit he easily became one of the worst characters.
I like his vision quest bullshit arc and his relationship with Ben. Having a character who basically just pops back to the last save file every time is going to start feeling like Super Mario, and Klaus manages to sell how moronic that must be to experience in a sincere-ish way
>I hate you Viktor and want to do everything I can to hurt you >of course I’ll address you by your preferred pronouns and won’t deadname you what do you think I am an butthole?
>Characters are given extensive education and training. >Idiot Plot kicks when the writers can't excuse Luther dropping -60 IQ >Everyone seemingly forgot Viktor was the White Violion
Yeah, things were going ok until one of their actresses got a sex change mid writing of the show. Imagine how much that pissed Gerard Way off. Ellen Page is the direct cause it went to shit.
It feels like it.
The >everyone saves the world then splits off to do their own selfish pursuits despite knowing the full danger of their inaction before coming together in the end
thing was already cliched by season twos ending. Now it is tired.
And they look like they are going to do the same with season 4.
It's been a while since I saw season 2, but I remember it being fantastic - specifically with how tight the script was. Was there one specific change in writer or director that caused this season to be completely aimless?
>the creator of the universe decided to build a machine to rebuilt it >said machine is inside another reality that looks exactly like a cheap art deco hotel with sushi, wienerroach samurai and Japanese runes in it >the door to said hotel is in America for some reason
what are your thoughts on viktor hargreeves?
>what are your thoughts on this person, anon?
Let's ask Jerry from HGTV.
It's a troony, which means it's no longer human. It should hang itself as soon as possible.
I don't watch shows with trannies in it.
>that episode where she becomes Viktor
>the reactions from everyone when she tells them
>"wow that's great I'm happy for you"
>"No I don't have a problem I'm glad you can be happy"
That was the single most awkward and forced scene in the entire show.
Totally worth roping in Page's trans, GLAAD-approved "advisor" friend to assist the writing staff with the episode's script, right?
>okay rob, now try to pretend you are happy for that disgusting troo- uh, I mean elliot
>great, now elle- uh, I mean elliot, try to feign a smile and pretend that you aren’t dying inside
Thank you. I needed to use this.
>they keep forcing inclusion with each episode
>be my best man!
>you're my favorite brother!
>you're invited to the bachelor party!

I mean I wouldn’t mind them either if hadn’t have to deal with them both online and offline.
i'd still frick his little pussy
I wanted him to frick Allison so bad
I mean there no set up and it comes out of nowhere for the character, but I guess he/they/she didn't want to play a woman anymore or whatever. Honestly It was probably the best way they could have done it, having it be two scenes and everyone accepting it. Ripping the band-aid off kind of deal.

Based. Seems like Netflix could have just told her to suck a dick. Its not like she has anything going on career wise
Netflix is pozzed to shit and back. Telling Ellen to continue being a girl would be a death sentence to their public image.
they could've paid dave chappelle to say it
Genuine lol
Netflix could do whatever they wanted.
Then fire her and cast someone who is willing to do the part written. They could use the time travel shenanigans to explain the new character and say they didn't want to make Ellen uncomfortable doing her job. Doesn't matter at this point, but I hope Ellen knows nobody buys her troon act and she was the worst part of the worst season.
Allison's only good scenes were telling off the troon
she was looking damn sexy in the dress. best part of the season.
shame i had to look up the actress and ruin it
manlet
literal two worst characters on the show
Stopped after season 1 honestly.
Does Ellen Page wear a wig on this show? Her head looks so weird.
Who?
ELLEN PAGE, the transgender b***h who cut off her breasts, ELLEN
who?
Real funny, but ywnbaw.
Can someone explain what the frick that ending was?
I don't really understand
A mess of plotholes and contrivances that even based on previous seasons make little to no sense. Sparrows got no attention and the story would have been better suited being a contained narrative about their rivalry and Hargreeves pitting them against eachother to end up with only the strongest at the end.
>been better suited being a contained narrative about their rivalry and Hargreeves pitting them against eachother to end up with only the strongest at the end.
Would have been kino. Wtf was even the other of s3 besides every confirming Elliots new gender identity
Allison made a deal with Hargreeves. Hargreeves got to own the world, Allison got her husbando and daughteru while fricking over every other member of the Umbrella Academy.
>rapes Luthor
>reboots the universe
>nukes Luthor's wife from existence
>nukes Sissy from existence
>doesn't make Dolores real
>removes all their powers so they can't fight back
holy shit this
basically the bad guys win, completely
Wrong the good guys won. All the numbers do is frick over the world
Also lost is a pair of breasts
>ellen page gets first billing
>meanwhile every single other actor except the black woman are the fan favorites and probably are on their way to become big stars
the fallout is gonna be fun tbh.
Allison was amazing in season 1 and in the first half of season 2.
>and in the first half of season 2.
DUDE BLACK LIVES MATTER LMAO
5 carries the entire show by himself.
Klaus was good when he didn't get too much screentime
everyday I laugh at how much money disney lost by not casting him as artemis fowl
>I AM ACTING!
>LOOK! I AM E-NUN-CI-ATING!!
No idea why everybody loves him so much. Feels like an amateur theatre actor.
And yet still leagues above everyone else except for Grace's and RH's actors.
t. elliot
He’s hilarious because he sounds exactly like a jerk 60 year old boomer sergeant manchild trapped in a ten year old’s body, which is what he is
Yeah but we're seeing him a little too much
Well they have no idea what do with any other character except for quips or irrelevant personal drama
>Allison didn't give a single frick about her daughter in s2
>in s3 she becomes crazy because she can't see her daughter
Also I'm halfway through s3, are they actually not going to do anything with the fact that Hargreeves is an AYY LMAO? I thought that was going to be a big deal or something
It will come up again, but no one will care or do anything with it.
Transphobic here. What's this show even about? How much does Ellen appear on it?
Handful of super powered kids with adopted daddy issues stopping the apocalypse. They drink a lot and they play a lot of songs ala Guardians of the Galaxy.
Ellen is one of the primary characters and is the focus of a lot of the apocalyptic shit. Her 5 head is extremely distracting with every scene she is in. And her power only makes her alien appearance even worse.
Honestly her trangulation has almost been a reprieve because the “I’m a man now” haircut hides the terrifying glacial ascent of her hairline
Agreed. I know people were shitting on his hair cut choice, but any other would have just shown the forehead again.
isolation caved in....
i adore you, the sound of your skin
based sad boy poster

If the show had been -Page from the start it would have probably turned out better.
that girl with a book on left is cute who is she?
I'm going to MARRY her
damn what a qt poo
They make her look like trash on the show. She looks so much better here.
>guy is the number 1
>his super power is super strength
>still gets beaten in a 1v1 fistfight against a fat normal dude
Was there a single time Luther and Diego didn't job?
>that scene at the beginning of season 2 with all the kids fighting an army in an aborted timeline
That's pretty much it. I fricking hate it. The others far outclass them in power. I want them to give those dudes a win.
>a fricking tank shot could not even hurt Luther in that scene
>a fat random normal dude could still beat him in a fight
Season 3 was so boring, I feel like nothing happens after they get to the hotel. Season 2 was so exciting how did they drop the ball so hard?
>"potential" as a criticism
>literally "i wanted it to be better"
Good job, moron.
Who's the cute girl in red? What's her name?
season 3 felt so weird, like every other scene was from a different episode.
Its like they didnt know what to do but wanted to give every character as many scenes as possible
They had no fricking idea what to do. By the time they were done inserting all these stronk black womyn moments and all of Elliotts self insert gender confirmation moments (while looking directly into the camera )80% of show had gone by and they had to cram the plot into the other 20%
Why do people love Klaus so much?
His druggie attitude is so annoying
he was fun when he was reprising his role as nathan from misfits
>le quirky gay drug addict
Yeah it was a pass for me as well, but then again this show is obviously geared to those types so I guess I'm the moron for watching
>start watching season 1
>gay kiss
>check source material
>no gays, no troons
Dropped it like it's hot.
It was ok when he didn't have much screentime and was seen as a joke, when they started to force the gay shit he easily became one of the worst characters.
>daddy im gay and do drugs why wont you love me i need validation
>mfw
I like his vision quest bullshit arc and his relationship with Ben. Having a character who basically just pops back to the last save file every time is going to start feeling like Super Mario, and Klaus manages to sell how moronic that must be to experience in a sincere-ish way
Ellen somehow manages to have the least interesting plot line yet most shown throughout every season
>I hate you Viktor and want to do everything I can to hurt you
>of course I’ll address you by your preferred pronouns and won’t deadname you what do you think I am an butthole?
>i may have betrayed and murdered my family but at least im not a transpobe
>Characters are given extensive education and training.
>Idiot Plot kicks when the writers can't excuse Luther dropping -60 IQ
>Everyone seemingly forgot Viktor was the White Violion
He's so hot
>gets paired up with an ugly poo
>Gerard Way realized this is a lost cause and reformed his band
#blm
Kneel for justice
We hate two things, racists and white people
We're progressive and if you don't agree your a bigot.
turned it off immediately after they randomly started dancing in the first or second episode, never looked back
Yeah, things were going ok until one of their actresses got a sex change mid writing of the show. Imagine how much that pissed Gerard Way off. Ellen Page is the direct cause it went to shit.
Aren't Luther and Five supposed to be twins?
They were all born on the same day but to separate mothers was the story I think son none of them are blood related.
I just asked cause in the comics Five and Luther are actually related
Are the comics better than the show?
arent they always?. and the comics are only up to the start of season 3. So all of season 3 they just winged it.
It feels like it.
The

And they look like they are going to do the same with season 4.
It's been a while since I saw season 2, but I remember it being fantastic - specifically with how tight the script was. Was there one specific change in writer or director that caused this season to be completely aimless?
