Summary
The Umbrella Academyseason 4 will focus a lot on Ben Hargreeves ( Justin H. Min ) according to its last poke , but I do n’t think this is a good idea . After three seasons of prison term traveling , preventing Apocalypse , and creating bedlam , The Umbrella Academyis ending with its fourth season . The final episodes ofThe Umbrella Academyhave a lot to cover , as the retiring seasons pass on many mysteries and unreciprocated questions , and if that was n’t enough , the Hargreeves will face yet another Book of Revelation and other obstacles – but first , they have to get their powers back .
Atthe death ofThe Umbrella Academyseason 3 , the Hargreeves and Lila arrived at a timeline where Reginald and his wife are alive , Sloane is miss , Allison has the family she dreamed of , and they are all powerless . Now , thetrailers forThe Umbrella Academyseason 4have teased the Hargreeves parting ways , reuniting again , regain their index , and teaming up with Reginald to save the world , but this meter , Ben will be key to saving the timeline – but after what we ’ve seen in retiring seasons , I do n’t call back focalise so much on Ben will be a estimable approximation .
The Umbrella Academy just dropped its last trailer ahead of the last season , and its song choice may be hinting at an important aspect of the story .

The Umbrella Academy Left Ben Aside For Too Long
Ben Was Dead For Two Seasons
It was thanks to Klaus and his superpower that the audience was able-bodied to see and hear Ben and get to know him , as only Klaus could see him and interact with him .
WhenThe Umbrella Academypremiered , it introduced all the Hargreeves , their names , and their numbers , but one of them was a special case : Ben , as he die many age before the events of season 1 . However , it was thanks to Klaus ( Robert Sheehan ) and his powers that the audience was capable to see and hear Ben and get to sleep together him , as only Klaus could see him and interact with him . Ben finally crossed over inThe Umbrella Academyseason 2 after comforting Viktor ( Elliot Page ) during a crisis that almost trip a new apocalypse – but that was n’t the end of Ben Hargreeves .
Atthe end ofThe Umbrella Academyseason 2 , the Hargreeves returned to their present ( 2019 ) but in a different timeline where Reginald create the Sparrow Academy or else of the Umbrella squad with six dissimilar superpowered children and Ben , who was alive and well in this timeline . Season 3 saw Ben and Sloane ( Genesis Rodríguez ) as the last two hedge sparrow standing , and at the end of the season , he was the only Sparrow who made it to Reginald ’s custom timeline , though he and the rest are now powerless .
The Umbrella Academy is based on the comic book of the same name created by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá. The Hargreeves — collectively known as The Umbrella Academy — were born with superpowers, and their adoptive father utilized their abilities. However, as they grew older, the siblings grew apart as they dealt with their trauma. They are brought back together after their father dies and Five returns from the future with grave news: The world will end, and The Umbrella Academy has to stop it before it happens.
Ben is the one member of the squad the hearing knows less of ( both the Umbrella and Sparrow versions of Ben ) .
With so many case , it was inevitable forThe Umbrella Academyto not pore on some more than others , and had it been fall in more seasons , every character could have been in the spotlight at some pointedness . Viktor and Five were at the front and center throughout the first two seasons , while time of year 3 was more into what Five and Allison were doing ( separately).Ben is one of the Hargreeves that has been mostly leave aside , so have him now be the center and source of almost everything in season 4 does n’t feel quite right .
Out of all the Hargreeves and Lila , Ben is the one the audience knows less of ( both the Umbrella and Sparrow versions of Ben ) , and he has mostly been seen interacting with Klaus . One time of year ( and even worse : the show ’s brusk season ) wo n’t be enough to give Ben the ontogeny he take to be the centre of attention of everything in season 4 , and as much as I lie with him , throw him into the spotlight in the final season feels risky .
The Umbrella Academy Could Be Preparing For A Second Ben Death
Ben Died Before The Events Of The Umbrella Academy Season 1
The Umbrella Academyhas a data track record of twists and shocking moments , and it wo n’t waver to drink down beloved type
In addition to him having not been give the attention he needed in the previous season , Ben as the central eccentric inThe Umbrella Academyseason 4 is also risky due to his tragical past . The Umbrella Academyhas a track record of twist and shocking minute , and it wo n’t hesitate to pour down beloved characters ( get ’s not forget how Luther was killed by Reginald in time of year 3 , but as luck would have it , he was brought back).Ben already died once , and his decease was shock enough to divide the teamand make their kinship with Reginald even worse .
Ben hold up the timeline reset but lost his power as did the rest of the Hargreeves , but that does n’t guarantee that he will survive the new apocalypse that , according to the trailer , will be get by him . Nick Offerman ’s fiber mentions the “ tentacle boy ” is the key to empathize all the timelines , which is n’t precisely paint an optimistic future tense for Ben . The Umbrella Academy ’s final season could have one more disaster for the audience with Ben ’s second last , perhaps present that his death is a fixed point in time in time , mean that , no matter where in the multiverse they are , Ben will give-up the ghost young .
At Least The Umbrella Academy Season 4 Will Solve The Biggest Ben Mystery
There’s A Huge Ben Mystery The Umbrella Academy Kept Avoiding
There are many mysteries andquestionsThe Umbrella Academyseason 4 has to answerand solve , but I feel the biggest one is everything about Ben ’s death . So far , The Umbrella Academyhas cite that Ben die while on a missionin 2006 ( meaning he was 17 years old ) , with Reginald fault his siblings for it . A statue of him was rear in the court of the Umbrella Academy , and Klaus cite him right after his funeral . In season 3 , Ben ’s death was referred to as “ the Jennifer incident ” , and in the elbow room of Sparrow Ben were sketches of the mysterious Jennifer .
The Umbrella Academy continues its ongoing mystery surrounding Ben ’s end by mentioning the " Jennifer incident " in season 3 . Here ’s what we know .
However , it ’s indecipherable what that missionary station was about , how exactly Ben die , who Jennifer was , and what she had to do with Ben ’s death . It ’s also ill-defined if it was really his sib ’ fault that he die or if that was another of Reginald ’s lies and use , asthe final trailer forThe Umbrella Academyseason 4implies this might not be entirely truthful and there are secrets around Ben ’s death .
time of year 4 is the show ’s final chance to solve its heavy mysteries , and , despite the risk of making Ben the center of everything , at least all interrogation about his last will finally be answered – although I have to say that I have a feeling the truth is rifle to be more heartbreaking than what the show has made us believe .
How The Umbrella Academy Season 4 Can Be Ben-Centered & Succeed
The Umbrella Academy Season 4 Surely Has Many Surprises Up Its Sleeve
The last trailer make me think Ben will be so important in this timeline because he ’s the only one from the Sparrow timeline .
Again , bet atThe Umbrella Academy ’s track record , there ’s surely a great deal more than what the time of year 4 trailers have demonstrate , so I would n’t be surprised if it is n’t on the button Ben - rivet , but he ’s still key to preventing the apocalypse ( and understanding the multiverse ) . The terminal trailer has a pile of insidious emphasis on the umbrella and hedge sparrow logos and the two timelines , which is making me think Ben will be so significant in this timeline because he ’s the only one from the Sparrow timeline ( supposing Sloane is truly gone … which would be grievous ) .
Ben as the trigger of the apocalypse can also be what finally prompt the Hargreeves to heal all their trauma .
The Umbrella Academy is based on the comic book of the same name created by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá. The Hargreeves — collectively known as The Umbrella Academy — were born with superpowers, and their adoptive father utilized their abilities. However, as they grew older, the siblings grew apart as they dealt with their trauma. They are brought back together after their father dies and Five returns from the future with grave news: The world will end, and The Umbrella Academy has to stop it before it happens.
exchangeable to how the presence of the Umbrellas in the Sparrow timeline stimulate the end of the world , that could be Ben ’s part in the last season ( and , in a way , mirror Viktor ’s role in the first two seasons ) . Ben as the trigger of the Revelation can also be what finally prompt the Hargreeves to heal all their trauma after pushing it aside for so long . The Hargreeves have a lot of healing to do as a team and familywith the whole Jennifer incident , Reginald ’s upbringing and treason , and all the tragedies , losses , and apocalypses they have gone through .
Ben as the core of the conflict inThe Umbrella Academyseason 4can study if the show apply it to accost other doubt , mysteries , and government issue , instead of only focusing on what ’s befall to him . A mountain will happen inThe Umbrella Academyseason 4 , but hopefully , the biggest questions will be resolve in logical and believable ways , bringing everyone ’s stories to a satisfying end .
The Umbrella Academy is based on the comical rule book of the same name created by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bá . The Hargreeves — collectively known as The Umbrella Academy — were born with superpowers , and their adopted father utilized their abilities . However , as they uprise older , the siblings farm apart as they dealt with their trauma . They are make for back together after their father give-up the ghost and Five return from the future with grave newsworthiness : The universe will terminate , and The Umbrella Academy has to halt it before it happens .
