I just want to reiterate and stress just how exactly good of a pilot The Umbrella Academy had, from beginning to end, most notably, within the episode's first ten minutes.
The horrifying, body horror-esque beginning of a girl who wasn't pregnant before she jumped into the pool emerging not only pregnant but also now, suddenly, abruptly, going into active labour, punctuated by the sounds of stretching, tearing, ripping fabric.
The smooth introduction of the universe, the world, the situation, most notably, of Sir Reginald Hargreeves, as narrated by Pogo.
On the 12th hour of the first day of October 1989, 43 women around the world gave birth. This was unusual only in the fact that none of these women had been pregnant when the day first began. Sir Reginald Hargreeves, eccentric billionaire and adventurer, resolved to locate and adopt as many of the children as possible.
The abrupt juxtaposition of he got seven of them written stylized on the screen while "Picture Book" by The Kinks plays.
The "Phantom of The Opera" violin medley, Vanya playing to an audience of no one while on stage. Diego, vigilante justice and still in their childhood Umbrella Academy masks. Luther, alone on the moon. Allison on the red carpet. Klaus, fresh from rehab, another thirty day token.
The moment, when, each of them learned their father had died.
All of it—all of it—packed. It flowed. It rolled. And it didn't stop, until the end of the episode.
And contrast all of that, sharply, and directly, to what we got in season three.

hey netizens! i'm not sure how many people are aware, but youtube's been slowly rolling out a new anti-adblock policy that can't be bypassed with the usual software like uBlock Origin and Pi-Hole out of the gate
BUT, if you're a uBlock Origin user (or use an adblocker with a similar cosmetics modifier), you can add these commands in the uBlock dashboard (under My Filters) to get rid of it!

It's honestly such a shame that we've made such a huge thing out of swimming and swimsuits and looking good in swimsuits and fat people not looking good in swimsuits. Swimming is actually the perfect exercise for fat people because it puts zero pressure on the joints, which is a much bigger concern for us than it is for skinny people, and lets you exercise basically every muscle group without straining too much and risking injury. Yet somehow this is one of the least accessible exercises to fat people due to nothing more than a culture of body shaming. The work to unlearn all the shame to be comfortable in a bathing suit in front of strangers is huge even for conventionally attractive people, but I could probably count on one hand the number of fat people I've met who were confident enough to get in a bathing suit and go swimming in public.
And what is the exercise that somehow everyone thinks they should do instead? Jogging. It's more accessible, sure, it's easy and costs nothing to go outside and run. But I need you to understand telling a fat person to go running is basically telling them to go destroy their knees. Not to mention it's probably one of the most physically uncomfortable exercises to do when you have a body that jiggles even with compression garments.
Imagine a world where everyone had the ability and equal access to whatever exercise fit them best and helped them be happy and healthiest. Imagine a world where fat people go swimming.
FULL SET!!
do with them as you will (with credit ofc)

Guys I want Five to have the power to stop time so badly. I firmly believe he should be able to. This power should be something well within his abilities
He rewound time in s2…and this was different from when he usually time travels. This time, he wasn’t just some passive traveler travelling from point A to point B, he was directly manipulating time, controlling it. He was literally unravelling the timeline. AND if he really was the founder of the commission, he must’ve had a hand in creating the briefcases. I assume that’s what the handler used to stop time in s1. But this power wouldn’t be time travel, it’d be time manipulation
FIVE SHOULD BE ABLE TO STOP TIME
