The Umbrella Academy Season 4 Broke One Big Hargreaves Tradition (And Gave It To Other Characters)

The Umbrella Academy Ended with its fourth season, but it broke one great Hargreeves tradition in its final episodes and gave it to other characters. Despite the success of his first three seasons, The Umbrella Academy ended after its fourth season, which was shorter, wilder and heartier than the previous seasons. After arriving to a new timeline created by their father, Reginald Hargreeves, at the end of season 3, The Umbrella Academy Season 4 caught up with the Hargreaves and Lila six years later, as they moved on with their lives now that they had no powers.

The Hargreaves reunite to find Jennifer (Victoria Savall), who they are told is part of a group known as the Keepers, but is actually the trigger for a massive apocalyptic event. The Umbrella Academy Season 4 answered the biggest questions from the previous seasons and wasn’t short on Easter eggs and references, and it had all the elements that viewers have come to expect from the show. However, season 4 broke one of the biggest traditions of the Hargreeves siblings, and, surprisingly, gave it to two new characters.

The Umbrella Academy Season 4 skips the Hargreaves’ dance scene tradition

Every season of The Umbrella Academy has a Hargreaves dance scene

The Umbrella Academy was packed with action and drama, and although the Hargreaves struggled to rebuild their relationship and trust each other again, they shared some fun moments throughout the series. The Umbrella Academy also relied heavily on music, with songs with lyrics that fit specific scenes, themes, and more, and through music a Hargreaves tradition was established in the first season. The Umbrella Academy Season 1 saw the Hargreaves reuniting after years apart, and their relationship wasn’t the best. Moreover, it was Reginald’s death that brought them together, so there were many unresolved issues between them.

At one point, each Hargreaves sibling (except for five, who has not returned yet) was in a different part of the mansion. Alison was in her old room and found a record player, so she put on some music. When Tiffany’s “I Think We’re Alone Now” played across the mansion, each sibling felt the music in their own way, and they all started dancing. Season 2 went with that, though only with Klaus, Allison, and Victor. While at the hair salon where Allison worked (back in the 1960s), Klaus, Victor, and Allison bonded after Victor dealt with amnesia for years.

The three siblings dance to Sam Cooke’s “Twistin’ the Night Away”But the rest of the umbrella didn’t get their dance scene. The Umbrella Academy Closed for this in the first episode of season 3, where, after meeting with the Sparrow Academy, Marcus challenged them to a dance-off to Kenny Loggins “Footloose”. Both teams signed up and they all knew the choreographyAnd that’s because it was all an illusion Diego had after Jayme spit her hallucinogenic poison on his face. sad, The Umbrella Academy Season 4 completely skipped this tradition, and the siblings did not share any dance scenes.

The Umbrella Academy Season 4 Has Gene And Jean A Dance Scene (And It’s Appropriate)

Jean and Jean have their own weird dance scene

The only dance scene in The Umbrella Academy Season 4 is given to antagonists Gene (Nick Offerman) and Jean (Megan Mulally), the leaders of the Keepers. This was an organization that was convinced that the timeline they lived in was wrong and a massive apocalyptic event known as “The Cleanse” would wipe out the broken timelines and fix the main timeline. Jean and Jean knew that Jennifer was key to the cleansing, and they took her to their farm. There, they showed her some of their evidence from other timelines, including the squid Jennifer was found in when she was a child.

Gene and Jean locked Jennifer in the barn where they kept the objects, and While Ben snuck in the farm at night, Gene and Jean were outside, dancing. Gene and Gene had their musical moment with Cher’s “Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves”, and it was as weird but funny as Gene and Gene themselves. Jean and Jean get season 4’s dance scene instead of the Hargreaves is surprisingly suitable as They were in a broken timeline, so it’s strange that even that was different In this timeline.

The final scene of The Umbrella Academy has a heartwarming callback to the dance scene from Season 1

The Umbrella Academy has a final tribute to the Hargreaves

The Umbrella Academy Season 4 didn’t have a Hagreeves dance scene, but it did have a heartwarming callback to the one in the first season.
