i wanted to make another review after the immediate distraught sort of wore down right after watching the season.

- i get that after season three, the family was a bit iffy especially with allison. but it felt like they lost their character development with each other a bit. and individually as well
- we barely got any ben and klaus content. ik its a different ben but i feel like we still had some content from them in s3 and just a “benarino” in s4. they are my fav duo in the show and i rlly wished we couldve seen more
- we just saw less of klaus in general which is sad
- plothole with the jennifer incident. if reggie killed og ben, then wouldnt bens ghost have remembered that. like reggie cant erase his memory. 
- ive never liked luther, but this season he was somewhat bare able and not utterly useless.
- i liked viktors scenes this season, i think he had at least some development unlike the others. it was nice to see him for sure of himself and his place in the family.
-i thought it was odd there was no pogo at all
-gene and jean were wtv
-reggie and abigail were…. annoying. they acted as if they were gods, in charge of what happens to the universe
- why was ben in the train last season plothole
- i just wanna talk abt lila and five for a bit. i have seen A LOT of hate for them. and honestly i understand, but i still wanna give my opinion on it. i think, that it made sense that they got together considering the situation. they are both survivors, thats what they do. five was insane and fell in love w a damn mannequin last time he was stuck alone across time. and lila has always been a survivor. so personally i think if they were stranded for 7 years, yea they prolly confide in each other. BUT, the thing is, them getting lost in the multiverse was absolutely unnecessary. there was no reason for that to have happened at all. So in that sense, that plotline shouldn’t of happened. 
i liked when she said that all of it was survival cuz that made sense, but one thing that pissed me off was when i was reading and article and it had a quote from blackman (show runner) saying that in his mind, if lila would have had the choice to choose between diego and five in the future she would choose five. i completely disagree. 
i personally dont hate them as much as ive seen others, but i still feel like it was eh. it just felt like they made a lot of plot choice around the fact that they wanted them to be together, instead of having a stable plot and incorporating that idea in. Like the time jump and them getting lost.
another few things. it feels like they completely stripped lila of her personality this season. when five and lila were together she seemed like a completely different person. it didnt seem like her at all. even five. like it was like they both were stripped of their defining characteristics. it was like a weird dream version of them. it was odd. thats why i like to think it was all survival. lila had been doing that her whole life, so it wouldve made sense. but the whole plot line was unnecessary.

- now a review for the ending. like i said in my initial review it was so so so so disappointing. and it couldve been avoided. ive seen ppl use these typa endings before and its just lazy. trollhunters, no way home, like it was extremely avoidable. 
     -first of all they kept making it seem like they were the problem, but it was the marigold. more importantly ot was reginald and his stupid wife. 
     - second there were so many others apart from 8 that had marigold, but they always focus on the 8. 
     - i saw someone said they couldve done something with victor extracting the marigold or something.
     - i can understand the thing about them always tryinh to save the world  but in the end its just not possible sometimes. but i dont think it was well executed enough for them to go that route
     - i personally think they couldve existed without their powers. and ik its like “oh they were born cuz of the marigold”, but i still think they couldve existed eventually, and even if they couldn’t, id take that plothole over the many others they had this season.

anyway, ive really loved this show over the years, and its heartbreaking that this is how it ended.
this was way too long of a review

rip umbrella academy 💔

OMG EDIT BUT I COMPLETELY GORGOT TO ADD THE PLOTHOLE ABT LUTHERS APE BODY!!! the marigold didnt cause that so there was no reason for his body to return !!!
