The highest number of anti-hero dramas, to be honest, should be given to "Black Robe Pickets". In terms of movies, it should be the upcoming "Joker". "Umbrella Academy" is more like a hero movie and an anti-hero in this year's year. A work in the middle between the two films is a bit nondescript.
But from another point of view, this series is a relatively balanced work in terms of Cass lineup, special effects, plot, etc. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most balanced work this year except for the plot.
Personally, I feel that this work is an old-fashioned "when I don't break out, I'm an ordinary person, but when I break out, I'm not a human being" routine. From the outside, it seems that whether it is Kong Wuli's wish to channel spirits through time and space, in the end, everything is But the outbreak of the awakening of Peggy, who has long been ordinary and dry.
This method is quite a bit like TVB's kind of drama halfway into boring, forcing the character to find a rich father. If "Black Robe Picket" and the pov descriptions of those heroic characters can understand the hearts of the characters, "The Umbrella Academy" is completely a group show, which makes people feel not quite the hearts of the characters.
From the perspective of the role, Ellen Page's acting skills seem to be a bit out of tune with everyone's group portraits. He uses micro-expressions to play a role that has been marginalized since childhood and frustrated in middle age. No matter from which angle, it is reasonable and reasonable, but It's unreasonable that this method of interpretation is too Ellen Page to be suitable for this kind of group drama.
This also explains why Ellen Page has always been surprisingly good in films with more drama and less character in her own field like Hard Candy, while in superhero ensemble movies like X "Men" or her appearance as a supporting role, such as "Inception", has become a phenomenon of passers-by. There are people who do supporting roles to make the main character more exciting and at the same time wonderful themselves, Ellen Page, obviously not this type of actor. It's not that she plays too much when it's time for her to steal the show, and she shows too little when it comes to her own story.
From a personal point of view, Ellen Page has changed from the smart little girl in "Hard Candy" to the popular face in a series of movies such as "X-Men", to the "Thailand" in "The Umbrella Academy". "Sasha Thompson" is a kind of drama actress, which is embarrassing.
Apart from some villains who are deliberately bloody, and if they are not cut off for the next season, there will definitely be an introduction to the Time Administration, the whole episode is still quite comfortable.
