Season 4 of The Umbrella Academy throws us for a loop with a new love triangle and a whole lot of drama! Ritu Arya, who plays Lila, spills the tea and gives us the lowdown. Prepare for major spoilers because the relationships have gotten kinda...messy.
It's not your typical happily-ever-after love story. You see, Lila had been in a romantic relationship with Diego in Season 2. They've basically got a real thing going. So, when you find out that she's totally in a relationship with Five in Season 4, it's kinda a wild twist! And just so you know, these two didn't have any "hints" or anything before they were thrown into this alternate timeline.
To understand the new twist, let's get into how this happened: Lila and Five, a totally unpredictable duo, are thrown into a whole different dimension! Think time-warps and lots of mind-bending chaos. They basically had to survive this insane adventure together, but somehow they ended up falling in love! Imagine those nighttime shoots for the scene where Five and Lila have that moment. Talk about an immersion experience! I’m not even sure I can make sense of it all but it sure does get a reaction out of the characters in the story!
It’s actually pretty shocking to the viewers. Like, wow! You go through all that time with a character who you've totally been rooting for, only to get totally blindsided by an oddball couple. It’s really unexpected because it wasn't "build up to" for two seasons.
Now, this new relationship with Lila and Five actually complicates things a lot for our favorite Umbrella Academy members. When you've spent seven years in an alternate dimension with someone, you know there's a whole lot of emotional baggage you're going to carry into your relationship back in your own dimension. You bet this complicates things for Lila when she ends up seeing Diego again!
For Lila, there is the huge shock of being back in her old reality and, to add on to this, her feelings are now all messed up because she spent years with a totally different dude. Now there’s this unexpected love triangle for Lila to deal with, adding yet another complication in the wacky Umbrella Academy world!
Even with those crazy alternate dimensions and intense family drama, some people are wondering, like is it really all necessary? You see, some folks don't really understand the purpose of Lila and Five getting together in the first place, especially when their old Relationships are now kind of "tossed out the window”. You see, Five already has all the crazy chaos of the world ending with those Hargreeves siblings to deal with.
There was this whole story about Five and the alternative version of himself and how it all ends in a big, sacrificial showdown. Honestly, I don't think that the drama would have changed the ending, or at least that's what some folks are saying! It was a kinda chaotic season overall! And all the added love triangle with Lila makes you think, did they even think this through?
So there you have it - more twists than a time traveler in a blender! The Umbrella Academy is like a giant love story mess-up with dysfunctional superpowers. And now you know how chaotic their love lives have become, even though it is already crazy. Season 4 is filled with so much tension that you wonder if they'll ever make sense of it all!
There’s so much family baggage to unravel as we get the sense this is a huge emotional journey. For those who like their superheroes with crazy adventures, and, yeah, love triangles to boot, you know this is the series for you. Just remember, this season doesn't feel like the "ending" we might've expected, but who knows, the next one might just give us something even more crazy, maybe even a more “normal” romance.
