The Umbrella Academy Entire Timeline Explained

time travel can really make a mess of your timeline and the umbrella academy is certainly no different somehow they saved the world in 1963 when trying to understand the twisting ever-changing and wibbly-wobbly timeline of the umbrella academy remember that nobody is insignificant and no timeline is off limits oh and this goes without saying right spoilers for seasons one through three yeah however we will try to keep them not too spoilery for you the timeline as we knew it in season one is as follows at some point in the 1920s a mysterious sir reginald hargreaves who we now know as an alien of some kind after watching the latest season arrives in america and buys the closed umbrella factory for totally normal reasons and about 30 years later the temps commission which is not to be confused with the temporal integrity commission for the trekkies in the audience is founded it operates in the year 1955 while remaining outside of space or time the year is then 1989 and pump up the jams been out for a whole two months and managed to reach number one on the uk singles chart on october the 1st of that same year on the 1st of october at 12pm another significant event happened 43 women all around the world gave birth at the same time mysteriously none were pregnant that very same morning sir reginald hargreaves will call him reg for short adopt seven of them luther diego allison klaus five ben and victor however on the same day a child by the name of harold jenkins is also born he is not anomalous but his life will be abnormally tragic and dark but hold on to this day we will return later in 1993 we learned that victor is drugged and alison uses her powers to subdue his abilities the next notable known year is 2002. this is the bank scene that we see in the first episode by the way in the same year a young and abused harold jenkins meets and starts to hate the umbrella academy and then he later takes a hammer to his abusive father which results in him going to jail for 12 years wherein he has even more time to hate and plot against the umbrella academy sometime after this five tries to time travel but acorns april 1st 2019 after an apocalypse around 2005 ben loses his life on a mission involving someone by the name of jennifer now we can't be certain what happened but we do know that this caused the decline of the umbrella academy as a team from then on klaus also conjures for the last time until over a decade later victor writes his life story in the same year that harold jenkins is released in 2014 and of course in 2015 luther is sent to the moon reg offs himself causing the team to regroup on march 24th 2019. five escapes the commission and jumps back to this day eight days before the apocalypse this is also the day the sweetest dance sequence and fight scene were ever seen on tv a day later harold jenkins now known as leonard peabody wiggles himself into victor's life the next eight days detail the events of the entire first season almost following day by day but there's one day that muddies the waters a bit you see on the 26th klaus steals cha-cha and hazel's briefcase he vanishes and reappears the next day having aged in 10 months we will circle back to this one later then there was a day that never happened but it didn't happen so we can move on on april 1st the dog days of summer and abruptly as victor hargreaves now the white violin kills leonard the manipulative boyfriend mutes allison and blows up the moon but never fear as five takes them into the waters of time travel to acorn at a much safer time now here's the first look into what must be the multiverse of sorts if the umbrella academy is not in the rubble when five travels into the apocalypse he wouldn't have found the eye meaning the moment they left 2019 they burst an alternate universe we've yet to see play out this would be a universe where five never sees a single scrap of his family again season two complicates things but that's probably an understatement on february 11 1960 klaus lands in an alley in dallas texas being the recourseful death conjurer that he is both he and ghost ben start making their own way in the past somewhere around may 1961 allison appears in the very same alley meanwhile somewhere klaus has started a cult and is living the high life in 1962 our big beefo appears in the same place it's raining and he's sad little does luther know the love of his life is close by getting married to a civil rights leader world meet allison chestnut september 1st 1963 diego does a rad superhero landing but is soon sent to a mental hospital a month later our beloved victor appears but like that famed marty before him victor is hit by a car and knocked unconscious five lands there three days after kennedy was supposed to be shot the umbrella academy is fighting yet another apocalypse now i i'd just like to stop here and mention just how truly badass everyone's become with their abilities we never see such creative use of their abilities again or since which is unfortunate this is our second glance into a universe that no longer exists there's a series of events where five never met with the others and they all still congregated somehow in dallas but five is saved by hazel and brought back to the 15th of november 1963 to try and stop the apocalypse again now the rest of season 2 goes on from there like the first time but let's skip to the end because on november 22nd we witnessed the third obvious change to the timeline younger old man 5 meets older young boy 5. confusing well just remember that when old man 5 jumps to 2019 he has the equation to keep himself from turning young this time but we'll get to that soon a young boy named harlan is given victor like powers five is better at time travel lila's a part of the team and klaus has a pretty cool hat let's go to 1968 in a tent in vietnam klaus from season 1 appears during an air raid he spends 10 months here fighting alongside his new love dave only for dave to die and klaus to escape back to season 1 2019 with dog tags and ptsd now season 3 is a curveball seriously we don't have a lot of solid concrete dates but a lot of changes due to the umbrella's appearance in the 60s here we go time travel is a complicated thing yeah we get it your job is so hard now reg is in america in 1918 he finds a portal to another dimension and builds the obsidian hotel around it given the face an entire city is popped up around it in the flashback i'm guessing it was finished somewhere near 1928 the first to failed attempt into the other side happens then remember that date well forget anything you thought you knew now only 16 women gave birth and the umbrellas the six mothers were all killed by harlan before they had a chance a mistake of course but a mistake alison will not forgive so instead reg adopts another six as ben will always be adopted right i mean look at him he's gorgeous dubbing them the sparrow academy 2014 pogo leaves and joins a biker gang leaving the sparrows to drug reg to protect themselves season 3 follows thusly every day there the paradox they've created feeds the kugelblitz in the basement which is slowly eating the universe as they know it reg has a plan though see if they reset the universe all can be made right and that's what the sparrows were adopted to do in the first place here's where our questions start to bubble to the surface though how different are the two timelines really if we are to be honest a few mothers not giving birth an old rich alien being slightly warmer to his adopted children i wouldn't underestimate the umbrella academy is it possible that there could be a hotel oblivion equivalent back in the season one timeline did season one reg know about the other universe like the one in season three and if so did he even know victor might blow up the moon at all are they in a simulation or just how incomprehensible is the technology in this other universe this is the conclusion of the umbrella academy for now one can only hope for any answers in the next season should we be so lucky but i want to leave you with one last thought for the road we've only seen two out of the possible four universes so far the first 2019 season 1 has an underappreciated victor accidentally causing the apocalypse the second 2019 season two-thirds is a result of the meddling in the 60s from the first timeline remember five found the prosthetic eye in luther's hand in the apocalypse the umbrella academy well we know he didn't see the one that we did on screen because that eye never found its owner but it still had to have happened to go around or else he wouldn't be able to stop it the grandfather paradox was there all along unless the next idea is true five started the apocalypse in season two yeah by interfering with his younger self in changing the events of his own history five causes a chain reaction wherein he is still an old man in 2019 and doesn't escape hazel and cha-cha or at least isn't capable of helping solve the doomsday problem oh my god five you're a genius time travel and universe creation always brings us further down the rabbit hole of confusion doesn't it thank you so much for watching see ya [Music]
