1 Brilliant Umbrella Academy Detail Makes Luther’s Moon Mission Even More Tragic

Reginald Hargreeves’ poor parenting is evident throughout The Umbrella Academy, but it’s most obvious in the discussions of Luther’s mission to the moon — and one brilliant detail makes this journey all the more tragic. The Umbrella Academy season 1 highlights how Reginald’s desire to build a powerful team of superhumans negatively impacts the children he adopts for this purpose.

Reginald doesn’t seem to care how his actions harm his children, as long as they live up to the impossible expectations he sets for them.
