The Allison arc is really weird. But I suppose somebody who has basically mind control powers would become something of a narcissist. I just don’t think they justified that in the story they told
Season 2 Allison feels like a totally different person than season 3 Allison. Totally different motivations and urgency.
Not to mention the insanity of season 3 Allison making a deal with Reginald, and then at the last second the train Reginald, and causing Luther’s wife to disappear from the timeline… That’s really frustrating
The betrayal never made sense to me.
Don’t push that button, it’ll kill my family.
Murders Dad, hits button anyway?
Yeah. That was intense. And insane. I don’t understand it at all.
Not to mention Allison had made a deal with Dad, so she knew what was going to happen anyway…
Been a long while…
Anyway, Allison was meant as someone growing up used to having everyone’s attention on them and every whim catered to. Her family was supposed to keep her grounded, but then she had a breakdown and fell back to that selfish mindset as a self-defense mechanism.
While the stories of the others might be about growth, hers is one of regression. That’s why I think it feels disjointed, because she is in that kind of state.
I hadn’t considered the regression perspective. I guess I always saw the umbrella academy as her core family.
But you’re right, she lost two different sets of family over two different seasons. That’s got to mess with you
