#also its really clear when you see actual 13yr old five during flashbacks

aidan gallagher was soooo good in the umbrella academy??? like, he’s a 14 years old acting as a 58 y/o grown ass man who travelled through the apocalypse and then went back to a 14 years old’s body??? and he’s so pissed about it?? he complains as an adult would complain??? every time he was on screen I felt like there was a grown man instead of a little child HIS ACTING WAS SO GOOD. and can we talk about the fact that he spends a fourth of his screen time talking to a mannequin he thinks is the love of his life??? and he’s so CONVINCING that imma about to go “goddamn fucking right, that mannequin is fucking right you should have listened to it” in every fucking scene THATS TALENT BITCH

#agreed #yes #the umbrella academy spoilers #the umbrella academy #ALSO its really clear when you see actual 13yr old five during flashbacks #the acting is less hardened and aged and more open and expressive if still haughty #and thats great
