00:00Plot twist, Lila and Diego's baby grows up to adopt The Handler.
00:04So she'd be our granddaughter?
00:19I wouldn't miss what's coming for the world.
00:23Hello Vanity Fair, we're the cast of The Umbrella Academy and we're going to talk
00:27about some fan theories. Be warned, there are spoilers ahead. Maybe, we don't know yet.
00:33Zach 51466129, sounds like a Terminator.
00:42We're going to be seeing double on the main cast, aren't we?
00:45The ones who lost their powers and the ones who still have their powers in the new timeline.
00:50That would have been so fun!
00:55Time-consuming.
00:56Time-consuming, double the schedule.
00:58But it would have been very fun.
00:59Why don't you guys hire Zach?
01:01Zach 51466129, you clever sod, very good.
01:05Is he saying that there would be two of each of us?
01:08Yeah.
01:08We'd be doppelgangers.
01:09That would have been incredible.
01:11One with powers, one without.
01:12There'd be a lot of timeline cycles, there's flatulence in that too.
01:15Well then technically there would have been multiple, right?
01:17Because we've now switched multiple timelines.
01:20So we should be triplets.
01:21Wait, how many versions are there?
01:23There's, wait, because...
01:24One per timeline, and there's infinite timelines.
01:27And then I meet like a Victor who's like 5'9".
01:34SSS Sanchez, Alison will become a villain.
01:38She crosses the line with her powers again.
01:40Shut your mouth!
01:41Knock off the power shit, Alison, it's not okay.
01:44Five says to Victor in episode seven,
01:46a superhero who works alone is a villain.
01:49Maybe it's a foreshadowing for Alison.
01:51We didn't see her reunite with the rest of the Academy in the end.
01:55Another great storyline that we didn't do.
01:58I'm loving it, it's very exciting.
01:59We didn't pull these, right?
02:00We shouldn't, yeah, we shouldn't be spoiling these.
02:02Alison was a villain in season three, so I think...
02:05Why was she a villain?
02:07Because she destroyed all of our lives.
02:09She destroyed the universe.
02:10Come on, dude, you didn't see a season three?
02:13No, I haven't watched it.
02:15That's so cool.
02:16If she becomes the villain, what about Reggie Hargreaves?
02:19What happens to him?
02:20You know, she just throws him down an elevator shaft or something.
02:23Yeah.
02:24You know, because you're gonna have to get him out of the way
02:26for either Five or Alison to become villains.
02:29One's a villain, always a villain.
02:31True.
02:31Okay, this comes from...
02:33Did I ask you to read this?
02:38I guess you did.
02:39So I've heard a theory that when Klaus had summoned Luthor's ghost,
02:45Sloane traded her life for his.
02:48Another theory I've heard is that Reginald had replaced Sloane's body
02:52with his deceased wife on the moon,
02:54which would be a sick storyline if Luthor had to go back to retreat her.
03:00I mean, I might use that in these interviews
03:03because I've been asked so much what's happened to Sloane,
03:05so I might use that as a theory.
03:07Thank you, did I ask you to read this?
03:09Yeah, thanks, you've given me an out.
03:11Should write for season five.
03:12Wait, so Sloane became a white woman?
03:15Is that what we're saying?
03:18Exactly, Sloane became an older white woman.
03:22Filling in all the plot holes on our behalf, which is great.
03:25Okay.
03:29This is from Nick Venable.
03:32I can even take a gigantic leap here by positing the idea
03:35that the Hargreeves siblings went back to the year that Umbrella Ben died
03:42so that they could possibly reverse or alter the Jennifer incident
03:45so that Ben never died because of it.
03:47Oh, Nick Venable.
03:50Venabling an entirely new series of our show.
03:53So what is it?
03:53So we go back to the time when the Jennifer incident...
03:57So that you guys can save me.
03:59So you just stop it in motion.
04:01I mean, that's a great theory.
04:02Well, we try to do that.
04:03We do do that.
04:04Well, that's a spoiler now.
04:05Oh.
04:06Oh yeah, we don't do that.
04:07We don't do that.
04:08Who knows what we do or don't do?
04:10Not us.
04:11Underscore, underscore, HHSJ.
04:14Plot twist.
04:15Lila and Diego's baby grows up to adopt the Handler.
04:19Now I'd be up for that one because we'd mean we'd have the Handler back and form Kate Walsh.
04:23It's a paradox.
04:24Wait, so...
04:24To adopt the Handler.
04:27So she'd be our granddaughter?
04:29Wait, no, but the Handler adopts Lila.
04:33Yeah, yeah, but then that's...
04:34Yeah, turn of the tables.
04:36I think it's just like a what-if.
04:38I don't think it messes with the timeline.
04:39Oh.
04:40How can the baby exist?
04:43So did we mess up the Handler?
04:45This video is just us trying to work this out.
04:47Well, that would be like a cycle.
04:48Yeah, exactly.
04:49Time is cyclical, isn't it?
04:51I think it would be more interesting if your baby was Reggie.
04:54Any questions?
04:57This comes from simply question mark.
04:59Simply...
05:00Not the words question mark, just the symbol.
05:03Don't forget, I'm pretty sure in the season four trailer,
05:06Reginald said something like,
05:08you children haven't scratched the surface of your potential.
05:12So I think this season...
05:14This season, we're going to see them get way more powerful, especially Klaus.
05:19Does it say that?
05:20It does actually.
05:21It actually says that.
05:23I thought he added that too.
05:25Not giving nothing away, but there's a few of us
05:29that get some power boosts.
05:32I got power boosts in series three, though.
05:34I think I got more power boosts in series three than series four.
05:37Because remember, I could float and all by the end of it.
05:39Oh, yeah.
05:40Yeah, you, yeah.
05:41I don't think I ever got a power boost.
05:43You're always just...
05:44I mean, you'd be getting shot at.
05:45Just kind of...
05:46You're getting shot at.
05:47Getting shot at.
05:48You're a sandbag.
05:52I'm a walking sandbag.
05:54Because you block a lot of bullets.
05:55Yeah, there's the moment in season two,
05:57when you see me take a rocket to the back.
06:00Oh, yeah, yeah.
06:01In the beginning.
06:02In that fight that never happens in reality.
06:04Oh, and you jump over like a skyscraper.
06:07I'm really agile.
06:08Yeah, you're really agile in season two.
06:11And then in season four, yes, then we might take some bullets.
06:15Yeah, I'll let you know.
06:16That stings my ass.
06:17Okay, I was watching a TikTok,
06:20it's always a good start,
06:21of Umbrella Academy Theories,
06:22and one of them was this.
06:25Holy shit, Sloane is Abigail.
06:29They really look alike.
06:30Sloane is Abigail.
06:32They do not look alike at all.
06:33Look at this.
06:34There's a resemblance.
06:36Are you kidding me?
06:36Is it the same eye color?
06:37It's uncanny.
06:38They don't look alike?
06:39You want it?
06:40Their lips are very similar.
06:41Look at them.
06:42They got the same upper lip.
06:43They look alike.
06:44Yeah.
06:45Look.
06:46Avenger Girl 99.
06:49Sloane betrays Luther and the Umbrellas.
06:51When the Umbrellas emerge from the hotel oblivion
06:53and arrive in the new reality,
06:55some notable people are missing.
06:57Allison, Reginald, and Sloane.
06:59Both Reginald and Allison are revealed
07:01to be living their dream lives,
07:03but Sloane isn't shown with the others or anywhere else.
07:06It's possible that Sloane was secretly working with Reginald
07:10to unite the families by getting Luther laid
07:13and to fall in love with her.
07:16That would be so sad for Luther.
07:18That's very Game of Thrones-y.
07:21If Genesis was playing that,
07:22I mean on knowing,
07:23she was very good.
07:24Yeah, yeah.
07:25Very subtle.
07:25Yeah.
07:26Was it David Cross playing Sloane?
07:28David Cross is Sloane.
07:29That's a good thing.
07:30I wouldn't know why he was giving me ice.
07:33This is from Galaxy underscore Moon 707.
07:36My friend and I have a theory
07:37that Five is going to die in season four.
07:41The apocalypse is following him
07:42rather than Victor or anyone else.
07:45In season two, his siblings have been living there for years,
07:48but the apocalypse only happened once Five appeared.
07:51The theory is in season four,
07:52he realizes that and he knows
07:54that the only way to save his family is that he dies.
07:57Five is not that heroic.
08:00The sacrificial lamb.
08:01Is that true?
08:02The sacrificial lamb.
08:02The brave heart.
08:03Seems to be addicted to stopping apocalypses,
08:06therefore creating them as well,
08:08so he can stop them.
08:09Yeah.
08:09I feel like Five is the kind of guy who's like,
08:11I'm just not into drama.
08:13And that's exactly what Five thrives on.
08:17Okay, we got to...
08:19All right, everybody get comfortable.
08:21Is Abigail Hargreaves the real big bad?
08:25In season one,
08:26the handler says that the time commission's job
08:28is to ensure the correct timeline takes place
08:31in spite of free will.
08:33This always struck me as odd
08:35because in a universe with free will,
08:37why do they get to decide which timeline is correct?
08:40We know that the apocalypse is one of the things
08:43that the time commission considers
08:45part of the correct timeline.
08:47We also now know that Reginald's plan for saving the world
08:50wasn't so much preventing the apocalypse,
08:52but remaking the world into one
08:54where Abigail Hargreaves is still alive.
08:57I think the time commission being so adamant
09:00that the apocalypse happens
09:01isn't so much to wipe out humanity,
09:03but to ensure Abigail stays dead.
09:07Evidence is that Reginald hid Abigail on the moon
09:11and later had Luther guard her.
09:13Hiding someone on the moon seems a bit extreme.
09:17So he clearly thinks that someone out there
09:19wants to disrupt his plans to bring her back.
09:22I might be reaching,
09:23but it seems that Future Five and a load of others
09:26would rather have an apocalypse
09:28than live in a world where Abigail Hargreaves,
09:31which makes me wonder just how bad she could possibly be.
09:37Shirky, if you're looking for a job, mate,
09:39you can be my head writer.
09:41You've given out a lot of jobs.
09:42Or if you're a media, that's a really good shirky.
09:46You'll be paid in hugs and twiglets.
09:52Not money.
09:53When you think of like,
09:54this is the season where Abigail's been the most there
09:58and then what happens,
10:00I mean, I think it's a decent theory.
10:01I think it might be a preventative measure
10:04that they were going for.
10:15So the world's ending again, huh?
10:18God, that's tragic.
10:20We liked Shirky, didn't we?
10:21You're going to make the first interview shirky-y.
10:24Yeah, Shirky's very good.
10:25I liked that kid at the beginning as well.
10:27Zack.
10:28Oh, yeah.
10:28Five, one, four, six, six, one, two, nine.
10:30Oh, yeah.
10:31I liked the Lila Diego's baby adopts the handler one.
10:35Yeah, that's a good one.
10:36Yeah, that was excellent.
10:37The scene double of each of us was very good.
10:39Oh, that one.
10:41The doubles.
10:41Yeah, the doubles was great.
10:42So we've got at least three new writers on the show.
10:45On the show that's over.
10:46That's over.
10:47So well done.
10:47You're not employed, but you have potential.
10:49Got great writing ability, but terrible timing.
10:52Yeah, unfortunately.
10:54You were a little too late.
10:54Just not a job on the show.
