That Cold War scene was absolutely terrible, that battle made no sense. How could they let something like this in the final cut?

I'm enjoying this much more than first season. Clearly higher budget and some better writing.

Is this better writing? Most of this season was just in your face virtue signaling and a repetition of ideas. Even the budget doesn't show that much. Some of the scenes are just terribly cut like the Cold War in the beginning or the first meeting between Allison and Luther (people just disappear from the background). It's a shame because the family moments were pretty good.

Vanya's part this season is so terrible

edit: it was an enjoyable season, nothing more or less. I like pretty much all of the show, except the story. It's not interesting IMO, which makes this an average show for me. I absolutely disliked Ellen Page's part, total borefest.

i have read that actors had a lot of freedom in portraing their characters and could influence the writers room. To the point that Ellen Page is playing mostly herself, even wearing her own clothes in the series.

Loved season 2 except for Vanya and the whole farm stuff.


The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. The good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t always spoil the good things and make them unimportant.

Ellen Page is now Elliot Page
https://variety.com/2020/film/news/elliot-page-transgender-ellen-page-juno-umbrella-academy-1234843023/

No clue what this even means for Season 3 of Umbrella Academy is her character now trans as well or do they just cast another actress for her role? Realistically if she goes trough with this her career is probably over anyway since no one will cast her as a very feminine looking guy.

Yeah but they still need to at least look somewhat convincing that's just how it is.
I mean obviously he can continue if he is ok with continuing to still play female roles, hormone therapy or more would definitely complicate things a lot in this regard.

Again his career is pretty much over if he decides to transition or wants to play only male roles from now on or do you see anyone from this list regularly or even just know them at all:

Yeah true but still there is a reason why there are so few trans actors famous or not i'm not a fan of it either but i don't think he can change that.

But... he did change it just now. Razz He is now considered a famous trans actor. edit: I thought you wrote "no famous tans actors", but now I see you wrote "so few" instead. Maybe I misread it.

Anyway, there's always work to be done behind the camera, producing/directing. He has some such credits already.

The Umbrella Academy production is pretty PC. They written Vanya around Elliot Page in season 2 not the otherway, this is why her plot was abuse, lesbian heavy. His/her character even wore his/her private clothes so I think they will write the change into the plot somehow.

We have here a LGBTQ+ activist that is a dude who identifies itself as a woman and have a girlfriend that is a lesbian. So everything is clear and ok.

Looks like they will not change his character in Umbrella Academy at all: https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/elliot-page-umbrella-academy-netflix-1234843387/
So he's fine with continuing to play female roles which is by far the best outcome for everyone involved i guess.

"Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-imposed nonage. Nonage is the inability to use one's own understanding without another's guidance. This nonage is self-imposed if its cause lies not in lack of understanding but in indecision and lack of courage to use one's own mind without another's guidance. Dare to know! (Sapere aude.) "Have the courage to use your own understanding," is therefore the motto of the enlightenment."

They better change the character into a correct gender (if they haven't already.).
We had actors get ass blasted for playing different genders or even attempt to play trans.

Its a good outcome for Elliot.
We will see if its a good outcome for the industry.

But at least now he can take on the role that scarlet Johansson got cancelled for when she wanted to play that ftm bank robber.

"Elliot Page Disclosure Gives Trans Visibility ‘Huge’ Boost, Hollywood Insiders Say"

Holliywood Insiders live under a stone? I don't even follow any news and have seen plenty already.
Regardless, I couldn't care less. If he/she/they/whateversomeonewantstocallit is happy, all good
