Why Were There No Cell Phones in The Umbrella Academy?

Why Was There No Cell Phones In the Umbrella Academy?

Hold onto your hats, because we finally found out what the deal with the no-cellphones rule was! The super-secretive dad, Sir Reginald Hargreeves, had a hand in that too. It turns out those Hargreeves, and maybe the whole timeline, were the cause for a super-weird tech slowdown! And it took until the super-epic ending of Umbrella Academy Season 4 to show us that.

Did the Ending Explain Everything About Cell Phones?

  • The Umbrella Academy Season 4 Ending was the moment it clicked - everything happened after those kids got erased from the timeline! They saved the main timeline with their big sacrifice! And that's why technology progressed like it should, and even included those cellphones we see everyone using these days.
  • This whole crazy Cleanse event helped fix the multiverse and those messed-up timelines. This show made things extra interesting since there were no cellphones in this weird version of the universe!
  • And it was this super awesome but secret-obsessed Reginald Hargreeves that made sure those super-important marigold kids never showed up.

Does this Mean the Story Is Officially Over?

  • You can bet it did! All of those crazy twists! This whole finale, even with the new timeline - and especially with Sir Reginald's evil scheme coming to light! It was super messed up, with their families being totally fine and normal! And to be fair, that’s one of those things we expected Netflix's show to make sense of - since they did a whole bunch of plot twists throughout the series.
  • This is pretty crazy - and totally ties together with how technology is portrayed in the show!

So Where did the Umbrella Academy’s "Tech" End Up?

Now you know - all the Hargreeves messed everything up with their own Technology in their early days. Think about it, the show has these awesome powers that were kind of like their superpower “technology,” but everyone is stuck in an older time. The truth is, technology stayed stagnant. They might even have the same kinds of powers as The Handler.

Were There Any Big Revelations In Season 4?

If you haven’t watched the show - you've gotta know this was a really big season. Not only was there a ton of crazy stuff with how Reginald manipulated events - and all those big events - but he had the big, secret villain The Handler in that season as well! It’s not like a traditional superhero show. These events were super intense!

  • The writers were super crafty. That’s a lot of cool little details for fans, and even hints about all those crazy events! The ending, while it had its big twists and was super confusing - really wrapped things up for a final hurrah!

Will the Umbrella Academy Continue?

It is officially over! No more seasons - and now you know about their “Technology”!

And, you know, you should totally catch up on the whole series - from the start with those superheroes, that really do a great job in saving the world in The Umbrella Academy. And with some insane characters and even crazy abilities!
