Welcome back everyone it's charlie this is going to be my new umbrella academy
video they're dropping the season this friday they just dropped the opening
scene from season two episode one obviously things have gone completely
crazy there's a bunch of easter eggs so we'll break it down
if you're new to the channel be sure to subscribe to get all the videos we'll do
a new amazon giveaway all you have to do to enter
is be a subscriber and leave your favorite umbrella academy moment on the
video so we'll just go through this footage
shot by shot then i'll talk about the rest of the season
so they've just failed to stop the end of the world in the final scene from
season one and five was trying to send them back in
time to their younger bodies so that they could just hit the reset
button and call a do-over on trying to save the world
because that's the whole thing is they failed in their mission during season
one this giant asteroid is the moon breaks
apart because of vania's powers as it comes crashing down to earth just
destroying everything in this giant blast
you can make all the jokes about self-fulfilling prophecies that you want
because it was actually them trying to stop vania that caused her to misfire
and hit the moon that then destroyed the earth so it seems like something like
that might also be happening with season two in this giant nuclear blast that
annihilates the world but you have to remember that this is
literally just the opening moments right after they've jumped back in time
so they all just wind up showing up in 1963 not understanding
what's gone wrong in the middle of this giant war so
instead of merging their consciousnesses with their younger selves they wind up
in 1960s dallas texas just days after president kennedy has been
assassinated and the soviets have apparently invaded
then a nuclear bomb just goes off nearby heralding the end of the world again
but it's all literally happening in the span of the first three minutes of the
episode so that's why everyone's so confused about what's going on like five
says wait a minute what do we do now what the hell
even diego yells at number five what the hell did you do now
because number five spent all of season one causing all kinds of new problems
with his unreliable time travel ability never
quite working exactly how he expected the person that
walks up to five and gives him the terminator speech come with me if you
want to live is hazel from season one cha-cha's
partner who apparently survived the end of the world
he works for the commission and just like in season one the commission
is still very much the villain or the antagonist of season two
that's who these people are chasing them all over the trailer
fun easter egg 2 as number 5 exits this alleyway into the big fire fight
the movie that's playing at this theater is kiss of the vampire
it is a real movie that was playing in a theater at this time it's historically
accurate but it's also a subtle easter egg for
the upcoming umbrella academy comic book called
you look like death which is about klaus when he was 18
right after getting kicked out of the umbrella academy the basic premise of
the comic book is that he heads to hollywood and runs afoul of a vampire
drug lord so yes vampires in the world of umbrella
academy the paper that number five picks up and
reads says that jfk has declared war in the soviet union i can't read the date
on the newspaper so i don't know if it's from before jfk was assassinated or
after so it's not clear if this is a lie that the government just perpetrated and
they declared war after jfk was assassinated and blamed the soviets for
his death and that's why they declared war
or if some crazy time travel problem happened before
they cause jfk to declare war on them himself
and then he gets killed in retaliation it's all about time travel and alternate
history and they're changing the comic book
story from the dallas ark so it's going to be a little bit different
but the kennedy assassination is very much the stage
for the plot of season two it's all about trying to prevent this great
disaster against the backdrop of jfk being
assassinated in dallas but remember the whole thing about
self-fulfilling prophecies during season one they were trying to prevent the end
of the world but their actions directly led
to the end of the world vanya still wound up accidentally quote unquote
destroying the world and while this is all playing you have
that frank sinatra song the recording of my way it's meant to be a clever wink at
the umbrella academy team saving the world their way not
necessarily the correct way probably causing as many problems as
they try to solve the song itself is also a bit of an easter egg it's meant
to be period specific because it was recorded during the 1960s and frank
sinatra was in his prime during the 60s so this is all taking
place during the 1960s so it is period specific
but he didn't record the song till 1969 and this is all taking place during
1963. so it's a cool song we'll call it close enough
all this footage is also meant to show off their abilities in really cool ways
too because it's been about two years since we saw the last season it's been a
hot minute since we got season one vanya is floating in the air in the path
of the giant round from the tank fire she uses her sonic powers to destroy it
just reminding you how powerful she is and that she still has all of her
abilities in the comic book when this is all going on
she actually had amnesia for most of this storyline the way that ellen page
explained it though is that vanya during season two is still
mostly dealing with all the trauma of her repressed memories that she had just
gotten back at the end of season one so i don't think they're
doing any of the crazy amnesia plot klaus
channels the ghosts of a bunch of recently killed u.s soldiers from the
last couple of minutes to attack the soviets
luther just hulks out on all them and then soaks a bunch of fire damage like
it's no big deal they upgraded a lot of the visual
effects for his body too that's why he's not walking around in the trench coat
anymore that's an easy way for productions like
this to save money like oh we don't have to render this in cg if he just puts a
giant coat on ben uses his tentacles to attack more
soldiers the weird thing here is that it doesn't seem like klaus is actually
channeling his abilities like ben is doing this on his own up on top of the
building and how is that possible if he's just a
ghost lots of questions being raised you also see him opening a door by
himself in the trailer like opening this car door without klaus doing it for him
there was some confusion about that too people are like wait a minute is ben
come back to life but then they make the joke about ghosts
not being able to time travel so maybe that has something to do with
it but the other members of the umbrella academy in this scene
when ben is sitting in the background they can't see him so it seems like he's
still a ghost allison uses her rumor powers to
literally blow the minds of a bunch of soldiers like literally exploding their
minds showing you how powerful her abilities
are diego dodges a ton of bullets quicksilver style then
takes down the soldiers before yelling at number five
then as they're all coming together slowly converging to get their bearings
hazel shows up from season one gives number five the business
like we're all dead unless we both you can't save your friends here in this
moment then they jump back into the time stream while the rest of the group
watches as the nuclear bomb goes off poof end of
the world so it's a great opening scene that sets
the stakes for the season and lets you know what their
endgame is make all the marvel avengers endgame jokes you want
perfectly balanced as all memes should be then just because this is the opening
scene there's a lot of stuff that you don't see in here like them going to the
younger version of reginald hargreaves and literally telling him his future
with the umbrella academy adopting them so that he can wind up adopting them in
the future specifically so that they can become a team and then come back in time
themselves self-fulfilling prophecy to save the
world you see a little bit of baby pogo during the trailer too they were making
a lot of jokes on the netflix social accounts about this because you
have baby yoda on the mandalorian one of the cutest things on television last
year but now they also have baby pogo on netflix so you can just decide who you
think is cuter baby pogo versus baby yoda
speaking of which there is supposed to be a mandalorian season 2 trailer
sometime in the next couple of weeks so as soon as they release that of course
i'll do a video for it i'll be doing episode videos for all the mandalorian
season 2 episodes while you wait for everything click here
to re-watch that umbrella academy season 2
trailer and you can click here for that brand new marvel hellstrom
trailer thank you so much for watching everyone stay safe
I'll see you guys tonight!
