THREE HOURS!" Definitely watch it alone. There's some swearing (s-words and variations thereupon, mostly) as well as blood and gore. Much of it is implied, rather than shown, but it's similar to how it was in The Dark Knight—leaving the worst of it to the imagination just makes it more unsettling. A couple of the characters are drug addicts and arguably the main theme is how broken they all are from their adoptive dad's terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad parenting. Although that's sometimes played for dark comedy, their depression and dysfunction are always shown as a tragic result of a terrible upbringing, and it (and Klaus's ability to talk to the dead) would probably be disturbing for younger viewers. Hide contents And I'm pretty sure they're including a romance from the series, which is….so, you know how the Umbrella Academy kids aren't related by blood even though they have the same last name? Yeah. I didn't feel like the books ever glamorized it; Way and Ba seemed to portray it as another sad result of their messed-up childhood. But again, not suitable for young audiences. "It took you three hours to come up with 'I am the Master of Death, here to free you from its dark tyranny and lead you into the Light'?" "I'm starting to feel like we're just putting him out of his misery. He's like a lame duck." Dang. Why does all the good stuff have to make little kids cry? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just a self-biokinetic. I'm actually seeing them more as a dimensional Epic like Firefight, but with a connection to murky and eldritch realms full of tentacled monsters. His MO would be opening these portals and then hightailing it out of there before they come through, since like Lovecraft, he'd be a xenophobe whose root fear is the fear of the unknown. It'd make an interesting dynamic, to be sure: an Epic who summons monsters, but whose weakness is set off by actually seeing these madness-inducing alien monstrosities in the flesh. He'd be employed by a more powerful Epic as a terror tactic against enemies. Take him to an enemy city--have him open a bunch of portals--leave--repeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
