I haven't seen it yet. Honestly I've never been clear on if Page wants to play primarily gay roles or not, especially in this kind of thing (the nerd bait media she was known for before her career got fcked over). Obviously, I think it'd be cool if she did
Bur, like, I also find it hard to believe that Netflix would have refused to make her character gay in the first season if she had asked, since it would have required only small tweaks to the plot (changing one character's gender) and Gerard Way would totally have supported that
So tbh I kind of assumed Page was intentionally using Umbrella Academy to say "hey look I can still play a straight girl to get the male nerds interested." Maybe I was wrong though
My guess is that this is one of the many things that the season (which feels like a soft reboot anyway) is doing in response to fannish reaction. Like, suddenly making Luther a lot nicer to Vanya after everyone got mad about him being a dick in S1, or downplaying Luther/Alison.
s1 is about a family locked in a cycle of abuse. the monocle was an abuser, pogo was good enabler, and luther, diego, and to some extent alison all learned those behaviors and are passing the abuse on what's *frustrating* is how long the show takes to admit this
I honestly feel like it doesn't really get there until S2. In S1, I never believed that these people were a family. In S2, they're a dysfunctional family trying to figure out how they work now that their abuser is no longer in the picture.
yeah s2 actually gets to the real affection between the siblings, whereas s1 had almost no affection between them at all in that respect it feels more believable as a weird fucked up family, for sure
I've been rereading my tweets about S1 and it's glaring how little affection I felt between the siblings. My main problem with the show is that it hangs the survival of the world on the healing of a family that to me felt like it wasn'st worth saving.
exactly. i could buy alison and vanya together, finally figuring out their shit, how to escape the cycle of abuse and love each other maybe even klaus but luther? diego? pogo? no, these men are abusive assholes without redeeming qualities
Luther's tireless devotion to a father who hasn't done a single thing to earn it isn't admirable really but it's pitiable
one thing i do appreciate is that luther (and diego) has got the absolutely lamest power of the bunch, no discernible leadership skills, but is nevertheless considered The Leader merely in virtue of being the eldest son seems very real tbh
like the power variance in that family is just so incredibly large instantaneous time and space travel make things true by saying them crack planets in half raise the dead ... ... good knife throwing strong arms
