What Did Those Flowers Mean in the "Umbrella Academy" Finale?
Get ready, fans! It looks like The Umbrella Academy Season 4 wrapped up in a wild, but totally touching, way, but if you blinked at the post-credit scene, well, you have some questions! Even David Castañeda (who plays Diego Hargreeves) explained his thoughts - that ending was wild!
Who Got a Special Goodbye?
It's time to get emotional; every member of The Umbrella Academy - those Hargreeves Siblings, with all those incredible superpowers - gave their lives to save the universe, you might be thinking there's not much more left to show! That last scene with those super-bright Flowers is what makes things a bit trippy! Even though those Hargreeves siblings died and they got erased from history, the scene actually symbolizes that they're remembered!
What Do the Flowers Represent?
Each one of those flowers stands for every member of the Umbrella Academy! Eight flowers means those eight incredible superpowered siblings made a permanent impact, even if the timeline can’t remember them! Those flowers grow incredibly fast from nothing. And it's kind of scary, since they are so close to those marigold particles - what could have been a huge mess!
Why Are The Flowers Important?
It was a crazy twist - and kinda sad! These Hargreeves siblings saved the universe from a whole bunch of apocalypses that the marigold particles caused - and that is totally why those flowers are golden! If anyone were to try and use those particles for their own good - well, we could be looking at more bad stuff, since that's how things happened with those superpowered siblings.
The Umbrella Academy’s story is really complicated, so it's a bit bittersweet but it seems like we might be left with some unanswered questions because the series is over, right? The only saving grace is the symbolic beauty of the Flowers, right?! Those were beautiful! We all get super invested in their stories. It's almost as if they just stepped back from reality to save the world.
Is That Really It?
That last scene - we know David Castañeda loved the ending and thinks about those flowers and what those superpowered siblings stood for. He did some pretty great work on the show with those "Umbrella Academy" seasons! And with the series wrapped up for the show - the ending really does hit hard. It's kind of a strange question - like, who are those new characters? Or where are those new heroes going to come from, now that the universe is saved but things have totally changed? It's kinda like the end - with no new seasons!
But with the show being super successful - that’s gotta count for something. I wonder if the creators will take that last, epic post-credit scene, and turn it into something more? Even just a little Umbrella Academy Season 4 recap, so fans can look at how things actually all happened.
