Umbrella Academy: The Heartbreaking Reason Allison’s Story Stayed Relevant
[Editor's note: The following contains spoilers through the Season 2 finale of Umbrella Academy, "The End of Something."]
Umbrella Academy Season 2 is going to stick with me for a multitude of reasons, but one component I can’t quite shake (and hope I never do) comes at the very end of the season - Allison’s (Emmy Raver-Lampman) note to Ray (Yusuf Gatewood). The note she leaves him is a deeply personal and powerful message about her love for him, his impact on her and how he has to keep fighting. But, as you’ll hear in this clip, I find that current events do tend to amplify particular themes and ideas and, given what the country is going through right now, that note felt a whole lot like Allison was speaking to viewers in the real world as well; “I need you to hold on, keep faith, believe that good things will happen, because the fight for a better world is never over.” It’s a sentiment well worth keeping in mind always, but it’s something I really needed to be reminded of right now.
During her episode of Collider Ladies Night, Raver-Lampman addressed whether or not that final note was updated to hit especially hard in light of recent events. Her response to that question illuminated an even more profound point about Allison’s storyline in Season 2 overall. Check it out in this clip.
