Who are your favorite & least favorite characters?


Number 5 is my absolute favorite. Love that dude! Vanya was my least favorite last season but I really liked her in season 2. A definite improvement in my opinion.

Luther is probably my least favorite. I don't hate him, He's just a meh character for me

Luther to me seems to have been seriously dumbed down in series 2, like the way he talks and thinks comes across as ‘the stupid one’, whereas Diego is potentially also stupid, but in definitely more of a fiery, physical, impulsive way.

For the first series, I can’t really think of a character that I really didn’t like at all.

I’ve just finished watching the second series and feel like it left a lot of unanswered questions, often due to holes in the plot/scenes. I didn’t really like Lila at first, but my least favourite characters were the Swedish brother assassins! Vanya was a bit more likeable in series 2 and it was very interesting to feel that the character and dialogue was mirroring the actor’s own life and struggles (as it came to light), in view of her transgender identity.

I have always loved Klaus the best I think, all round but I also have favourites in Diego (for looks, shallow I know) and and Number Five because he’s played to perfection! I have enjoyed watching The Handler throughout, her style especially.

Number 5 is my favorite with Klaus a close runner up. As for least favorite I'd say Sir Reginald Hargreeves - but he is meant to be that way.

The actor who plays #5 is incredible. Really amazing!

I noticed the show is letting 5 "look his age". He has discarded the Umbrella Academy uniform in favor of a suit. I call it the "Artemis Fowl" look.

Change your mind yet? Now Luther is the best, all of season 3, they improved him greatly this season. Really likable.

reply

Yeah, I love Luther, he just keeps getting better, I was not a fan in season 1 but the actor has good comedic timing and they made the character really ‘sweet’ which is nice.

My favorite is a toss up between #5 and Klaus, they had some great stuff together this season.

My least favorite is Allison. Unlike many other characters she hasn’t changed in any positive or more likable ways.

But she looks stunning. Pure eye candy...

reply

She certainly does!

Klaus is my favorite of the bunch. I love his look, his demeanor, even the way he speaks. I can relate to him in ways I can't to any other character outside of Five, who is pretty great, too.

The only character I dislike is Allison. Every other character on the show is engaging and interesting, but she does nothing for me.
