Summary: The typical high-opening and low-going. Not particularly recommended for viewing.
Setting: An alien who was destroyed by the mother planet pretended to be a human. He arrived in the United States in 1928. After 50 years of becoming a billionaire, he collected 7 children who were born unexpectedly on the same day and each had special functions, and trained them to form the "Umbrella Academy". ", intending to prevent the destruction of the earth (here is the children's later speculation, did not explain how he knew). He calls himself a "father", but simply militarizes the management of the children, focusing on reinforcement but ignoring the proper teaching of the children (or no affection, perhaps with the exception of the 7), which eventually leads to each child having various psychological or behavioral problem:
No. 1, born with super physical strength + acquired gorilla serum, the king of fighting, loyal to his father, and the only one who stays by his father's side, but lacks strategy, vision, and rigid thinking. I don't dare to say anything about my favorite No. 3.
No. 2, has the ability to freely control the direction of the knife, but only carries 2 knives. . . Fighting level is acceptable. But the problem is that he has always refused to accept No. 1, often fights with each other, and has a paranoid personality. Love is actually the "mother" of the robot, and he holds a grudge against the mother because of the "father"'s attitude. At the same time, he flouts the law and is vigilante.
number 3. Has the ability to make the rumors he speaks come true. In love with No. 1, but did not come together. When he was young, he unconsciously assisted the "father" in sealing the unstable No. 7. When he grew up and became a star, he couldn't experience true love, but was swayed by rumors instead.
No 4. He has the ability to communicate with the souls of the dead, materialize them and use them. He was forced by his father into the cemetery for desensitization therapy when he was young? It caused a psychological shadow, and grew up relying on drugs to paralyze himself.
Number 5. The hero of the whole play. It has the ability to travel through space and time, but the number of uses is limited. He jumps into the future to discover the end of the world, and in the process of finding its cause and trying to stop it from happening, he also fights against a group that keeps history going by assassinating important historical nodes.
number 6. It has the ability to summon some kind of tentacle monster from another world. The cause of death at a young age is unknown. Its soul was manifested by No. 4 in the finale and killed many soldiers of the group.
Number 7. Mistress. Played by ellen page. Appearing as an incompetent person, he was excluded from the Umbrella Academy by his "father" because of his "incompetence" when he was a child. When I grew up, I wrote a book describing the history of my growth, and was spurned by my family because of it. But the real thing is that her ability is the strongest among the 7, and can directly convert any sound in the surrounding environment into extremely powerful energy. However, due to the instability of control, her father forced her to take drugs that inhibit her ability since she was a child, thinking that she has no ability.
At the beginning of the show, the father committed suicide 8 days before the end of the world to attract these scattered and divided children back. They know about the end of the world through the number 5 who returned from the future, and try to prevent it through a series of stories, but in the end the end of the world still happens due to the energy runaway of the number 7.
Not bad right? It was just a high head, and then the low walk was too violent, the plot was protracted, the character characterization was unclear and not deep, and every character who appeared seemed to be a fool, and none of them had the brains of the chimpanzee butler. . . But the music and photography are good.
