Umbrella Academy 5 Things That Didn’t Change From Seasons 1 to 2 (& 5 That Did)

Fans of Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy undoubtedly went into Season 2 noticing a few changes from Season 1. Not only did the Umbrella Academy siblings unlock new levels to their powers, but Season 2 was set in a completely different time and place than Season 1, with the Hargreeves children finding themselves scattered across different parts of early 1960s in Dallas, Texas.

While this change in setting alone is enough to change a ton of things about these characters and the way they react to one another as well as the world around them, there were a fair amount of things that remained consistent between Season 1 and Season 2. While some of this might just feel like plain coincidence, it just goes to show that no matter what, some things just always stay the same, even if everything else around it doesn’t.

10 Didn’t Change: The Umbrella Academy Siblings Live Separate Lives

Despite growing up under the same roof, the Umbrella Academy siblings all drifted apart. Luther lived on the moon for awhile, Diego lived in a boxing gym while fighting crime, and Number Five was living through a career as a temporal assassin. After Reginald’s death, all six siblings (seven including Ben) found their lives intersecting to prevent the apocalypse.

And just when it looked like they might’ve all been reunited for good at the end of Season 1, Season 2 started off with the siblings arriving in Dallas at different points in time, forcing them to forge their own way in a time that wasn’t their own. Somehow, they were all able to do just that. Similar to Season 1, many of Season 2’s best moments are when their different lifestyles clash.

9 Changed: Allison Uses Her Powers More

Back in Season 1, Allison had a bittersweet relationship with her powers. Not only did she carry around guilt for using them on her own daughter, but she also never got over using them to make Vanya believe that she was ordinary. This left her wanting to use her own strength to accomplish her goals. Back in Season 1, for example, she refused to Rumor Cha Cha, prolonging a fight that she could’ve easily won.

In Season 2, though she still refuses to use her power to aid her civil rights endeavors, she later comes to rely on it in several different occasions, not only using it to save her husband Ray when a cop nearly killed him, but also using it to get revenge on a racist diner owner. When two of the Swedes attacked her and Ray, she Rumored one to kill his remaining brother, and although it backfired, she didn’t hesitate to Rumor Lila.

8 Didn’t Change: The Commission Is Still After Them

After Number Five traveled to 2019 in order to prevent the apocalypse, the Commission made it a priority to hunt him down before he could change the timeline. Eventually, his siblings were caught in the crossfire. In Season 2, nothing’s really changed.

Though Hazel and Cha Cha are both gone, the Commission is still after the Umbrella Academy siblings, since their presence in 1963 threatens to alter the timeline.

7 Changed: Number Five Isn’t The Only One With Inside Knowledge Of The Commission

Umbrella Academy 5 Things That Didn’t Change From Seasons 1 to 2 (& 5 That Did)

After living most of his life alone in a post-apocalyptic future, Number Five was given the opportunity to serve in the Commission, becoming one of its best agents due to his ability to jump through space and time. In Season 2, Lila ended up taking Diego to the Commission, where he went through a brief orientation to become one of their agents.

Just like Number Five, he learned about the Commission’s hierarchy, practices, and more importantly, the “infinite switchboard”. While he didn’t get the chance to have an illustrious career in the organization, Number Five is no longer the only sibling with a solid understanding of who the Commission is, where they’re located, and what tools they have at their disposal.

6 Didn’t Change: Reginald Hargreeves Doesn’t Care Much For The Umbrella Academy Siblings

While Reginald Hargreeves helped most of the Umbrella Academy siblings gain control over their abilities, he wasn’t a good father. Though there’s still a lot about him that fans don’t yet know, Season 2 proved that he’s always been the same critical, cold-blooded man. Despite not yet knowing the Umbrella Academy siblings, he took an immediate disliking to them when they all sat down for dinner in 1963.

Though he found their abilities interesting, he couldn’t stand the fact that they were unable to solve their own problems, not to mention he detested their manners. His dislike for them was so strong in fact, that he went out of his way to adopt a brand new group of super-powered infants in 1989 to form the Sparrow Academy.

5 Changed: The Umbrella Academy Siblings Aren’t The Only Ones With Powers

It’s easy to forget that there were 36 other children born around the world on October 1, 1989 with powers of their own, since Season 1 never addressed their whereabouts. That all changed when Lila was revealed to have powers of her own in Season 2’s finale. When the Umbrella Academy siblings returned back to 2019, Reginald Hargreeves had already formed the Sparrow Academy, consisting of an entirely new group of superpowered children.

Things get even more complicated with the revelation that Harlan still retained some of Vanya’s power even after she supposedly removed them from him. The Umbrella Academy siblings aren’t so special anymore, and Season 3 just might teach them that the hard way.

4 Didn’t Change: Number Five Is Still Trying To Prevent An Apocalypse

Umbrella Academy 5 Things That Didn’t Change From Seasons 1 to 2 (& 5 That Did)

If Number Five in Season 1 sounded a bit like Chicken Little proclaiming that the sky was falling, it’s because he kind of drove everyone nuts raving on about the coming apocalypse. While the others were more focused on overcoming their own inner demons, Number Five’s main goal was preventing the global apocalypse.

While he solved the mystery and ensured the survival of his siblings, Season 2 opened with Number Five witnessing yet another apocalypse, and since he was the only one out of his siblings to witness it with his own eyes once again, he began to sound like a broken record in trying to corral them to stop it.

3 Changed: Klaus Is Sober

Klaus’s power is often described as being able to “commune with the dead”, which honestly doesn’t do him justice. He can not only communicate with ghosts, but he can also allow them to take over his body for a short period of time. He can summon them to the physical plane to fight on his behalf as well. Reginald traumatized him during his younger years by locking him in a tomb and forcing him to communicate with ghosts, leading Klaus to turn to a life of drugs and alcohol, which only inhibited his abilities.

In Season 1, he was forced into sobriety for a few hours after being physically restrained by Hazel and Cha Cha, but Season 2 extended his period of sobriety by three years after he managed to start a cult. Fans were shocked to find out that Klaus hadn’t indulged in his usual vices during his time in the past, but of course, this led to him being stronger than he ever was before.

2 Didn’t Change: Vanya Still Causes The Apocalypse

Umbrella Academy 5 Things That Didn’t Change From Seasons 1 to 2 (& 5 That Did)

The main mystery driving Season 1 was what caused the apocalypse. Nobody expected for it to be Vanya. Number Five immediately suspected that Vanya was the cause of the 1963 apocalypse as well, stating that she’d always “be the bomb”. After she was suspected of being a KGB spy, she was drugged and tortured, and in an alternate timeline, ended up destroying an FBI building and sparking a nuclear war.

It’s starting to look like whatever time period Vanya ends up in, someone needs to always have a close eye on her at all times.

1 Changed: Vanya Fights Alongside Her Siblings And Not Against Them

After realizing she had powers of her own all along, Vanya found herself pitted against the rest of her siblings at the end of Season 1.

Fast-forward to Season 2, where she joined her siblings in their fight against the Commission, playing a huge role in evening the odds that were heavily stacked against them this time around.
