'Umbrella Academy' Season 3 : Ending Explained - TechNerd
The Umbrella Academy Season 3 was released last week, leaving the fans without answers. The Umbrella Academy sets up another Apocalypse named Kugelbltiz which is a shining black hole that slowly sucks up the universe. And this all happened because of Grandfather Paradox. If you haven't watched the 3rd Season of The Umbrella Academy, these terms might confuse you. By the finale of the 10-episode run, the world has already been
destroyed by the KugelBlitz. Killing off most of the Sparrows and two of the Umbrellas before we even
get to the massive end cliffhanger, the show goes farther than ever in terms of shock value.
So, The Umbrella Academy Season 3 ends with
a big cliffhanger that seems like it's ripped right out of the ending of Fight Club. Even
the ending shots are set up in the same way and if you're here then it probably means
you have no idea what's going on. Well you're in luck chump as throughout this post we're gonna be going over the biggest WTF questions to give you some clarity on
what exactly is happening in the show. Yes that is too good not to use again and

Season 3!
Ok, So the first big question I think we need
to talk about is Who Is Sir Reginald Hargreeves. Well in the series we have had hints towards
his backstory and Season one's final episode opened with him at his wife's Abigails side
as she lay in her death bed. Season 2 showed us that he's in fact an alien and this opening
scene in ten was actually his home planet. He said farewell to Abigail and took with
him not only a jar of Orbs that he opened up but also a white Violin that he later gifted
to Victor. Now in the comics we get some of what happens after this fleshed out when we
read more about the character. We discover that his planet was dying along with his wife
and that he set out amongst the Cosmos in his private Vessel the Minerva. This was with
his private bodyguard Abhijat who doesn't feature in the comics and instead a lot of
his role is shifted over to Pogo. On Earth Hargreeves invested in several businesses,
he became a Nobel Prize Winner and also an Olympic Gold Medalist. In Season 2 when the family traveled back
in time we discovered that he had teamed up with the Majestic 12, a group of Illuminati-ques
members who have some basis in the real world. For decades now there have been conspiracy
theories surrounding the mysterious members that make it up and they're meant to be a
number of high ranking scientists, military
leaders and government officials. According
to the rumors they control world events and also hide the existence of UFOs.
The group was apparently formed all the way
back in 1947 under the orders of President Truman and after recovering an alien spacecraft
they began to cover up the truth from humanity. They and Hargreeves worked together for a
long time and he helped them in several technological advances which is when he became so involved
in the space race. We discover in Season 2 that he's attempting to reach the Dark Side
of The Moon, which we learn the reason for in Season 3.
Turns out Abigail is there and I believe that
his ship crash landed on Earth after dropping her there which is why he was desperate to
get back. She may have been shot out in an escape pod ques station which we see Luther
was put in charge of guarding.
Now Hargreeves ended up severing ties with
the group after he discovered that they were complicit in the assassination of JFK. After
that he went into somewhat obscurity, formed the academy and enacted the next part of his
plan. Now I believe that the Hotel itself might
actually be his downed ship. When the environment transforms around it it seems like some kind
of vessel with a cockpit inside of it. I think
that Hargreeves plan was to reset the Universe
and he wished to unleash the orbs, let them get absorbed into women in order to create
life, take these children, nurture them until they matured and then use them as a way to
power up the machine. This would then allow for the universe to
restart so that he could be with Abigail. This explains why he got involved
in the space race, tried to get to the dark side of the moon and also trained
the academy. However it might also be possible that you can just sacrifice
lives in order to start it up, but adding the orbs into it explains why the 7
members at the end don't need to die in order for it to be charged. I think
that the ship carried it's own defense mechanisms in the guardians and that
this stopped him from accessing the ship which is we see with the Soldiers. He
sent a number in but they were all wiped out and thus he decided to train the
Umbrella and Sparrow Academy so that they'd be strong enough to take them on.
In the training session we see they're literally fighting over a bell on the
floor, which foreshadows the seven bells that he talks about them having to
ring. We also learn that there were 43 women who ended up giving birth to
children with special abilities and that he tried to adopt all of them. However
he only managed to get Seven, making me think that he wanted backups just
incase the others either left or died. Now he originally tried this with the
Umbrella academy but due to Ben dying and Number 5 disappearing they slowly
started to fracture and eventually the group split up. Thus he ended up taking
his own life in order to bring them back together for his funeral. My guess is
that he had put the pieces in place so that they'd discover the hotel and then
they themselves would end up powering the machine up with the universe being
reset through that. This would then bring him back to life and he could carry
out his own plan. However, things went awry and after the apocalypse happened
they had to travel back in time. This eventually led to them meeting Hargreeves
and after he realized that they weren't the kind of students he could train he
started to track down others. This was basically his endgame and Hargreeves is
really the villain of the show with his ultimate goal being to reset the universe
so that he can be with his wife. Judging by the final scene it seems like they
rule over the entire world and that the pair have their fingers in every form
of industry and infrastructure. With her at his side he likely changed the face
of the planet and will probably be the big bad come the next season.
Hargreeves's Plan
Now his plan to restart the
universe would've happened either way without the apocalypse or not. We
discover that Project Oblivion is something that he wanted to carry out for a
long time and that it's the reason Pogo ended up leaving his employment. This
was a suicide mission and discovering this is also why the Sparrows decided to
medicate him so that he couldn't manipulate them into doing it. Klaus stopping
him from taking his pills allowed the character to get back into his proper
frame of mind and he ended up manipulating him for most of the season. He
became an apparently good father and this made Klaus try and win him favor
with the family once more. Hargreeves then planted the idea in their head about
resetting the universe and he killed Luther to unite the group. This was his
plan all along and it didn't really matter if there was a Kugelblitz or not. Now
that kinda leads us into my next question which is.
Why Was The Kugelblitz
created?
Well this ties into Harlan
killing the mothers of the Umbrella Academy. After he ended up getting his own
special abilities he said he felt them upon his mother's death. However, he
couldn't control his powers and thus he killed their mothers instead. This
meant that they were never born and thus if they were never born then they
could never have created the new timeline by traveling back in time and then traveling to the future to be part of it because it's a lot of timey wimey
wibbly wobbly s**t. Though we don't know exactly how Pogo goes out, he was
killed along with the reality as were all the other characters that don't make
it through the portal. Now normally the commission would have kept things in
check but as we know, they were wiped out. We discovered that 5 ended up
creating the Commission which again...is a bit of a head f**k. Five states that
he doesn't remember doing this and therefore it could be his future self rather
than being a variant. I think that it has to be a version of him from later
down the line as he tells him not to stop the apocalypse and he also says
Oblivion, of course hinting towards the Hotel. Just in case you don't know,
that's the true name of the Hotel and this was revealed in the aptly titled 3rd
volume Hotel Oblivion.
How Luther came back to life ?
Now the other questions you
probably have over the ending are how Luther came back to life. Though he
would've returned in the reset, he showed up back at the hotel along with Klaus.
I believe that this is the next evolution in Klaus's powers and just in the
same way that he can return to the land of the living, I believe those trapped
on the other side can be brought back too. Early on the season was very much
about him mastering his abilities and this is likely the next step.
Why was Sloane not there?
Now I'm reading your mind mate,
doing a professor X out here and not only do you want to subscribe but you also
don't want to ever unsubscribe either. On top of that you're wondering if
Sloane exists in this reality. The answer is a mystery, but I am leaning
towards yes due to everyone being returned and all their wounds being healed. However,
she should've came back in the elevator as she was at the hotel so potentially
the machine might have sacrificed her. There is the possibility that Sloane
would not have existed in a new timeline if the Umbrellas had been born so she
might have actually been wiped out in order to not cause another paradox. It's
strange she's the only one not there especially as we get a second version of
Ben in the credit’s scene. This is another...reading your mind, EU what did you
say about my mother anyway this is another question you have. Well, there
actually exists two versions of Ben in the franchise. The first version is the
initial one who was with the Umbrellas that died as a child. He became a ghost,
but his spirit was put to rest in the second season. However, when they went
back in time and changed things Ben was altered too. Neither Harlan or
Hargreeves met him because he was a ghost and therefore his mother wasn't killed,
and he was seen as being someone who could be selected by Reginald. So, this
Sparrow version exists but so does the original because he wasn't killed in
first timeline. The only person who doesn't seem to be affected by anything is
Allison who still has a bandage on her arm showing that she hasn't healed.
Because she is the one that pressed the button inside what I'm guessing is the
cockpit she likely was protected from the effects. Remember this was designed
by Hargreeves so that he could be with his wife, and he likely didn't want to
lose the memories he had of her with the universe reset. It's possible that the
one we see ruling over everything actually has no idea that his plan worked and
rather than living peacefully with his wife he decided to do this because he
didn't know the alternative. Putting himself at the top like this would make
him and Abigail a target for people that want to overthrow him and if this was
all a plan to get her back, I don't think he'd go through with it if he had any
memory of what had come before.
What's up with Ray?
Now another question over Allison
is what's up with Ray. He returns at the end to be with her, and it appears
that the pair finally got their happy ending in the present. Now I've kinda
gone back and forth on this and there are really three outcomes. The first is
that he was transported into the present after Allison pressed reset like my
mate used to when I was beating him on Smackdown. However, this would cause a
paradox and if they want to go for the fourth apocalypse in a row then him
being in the future could be the cause of it. He would've only have been brought
forward if they went back in time, but they couldn't have gone back without the
first ha sorry my brain hurts. Now the second option is that the person who
pressed the button gets their hearts desire in this new universe and that all
the rules go out the window to make it work. This would mean he's her child’s
father now and that there is no paradox created. The third version and one that
I think might be the most likely is that he's a hallucination. Throughout the
series Allison had several of them and I think that's most likely the case
here. Anyway, I think that's all the major ones but if you have any other
questions below then make sure you drop them in the comments. With that out the way thank you for sitting
through the post,
