I mean, for me, while yes, she did deserve some of the things that she got (like not being able to see her child as much till she goes through therapy) but did Reginald ever really teach the children when and when not to use their powers?
Like, yes, don’t use them during meal-time, like we were shown when Five asked him how to time-travel, but did he ever really teach them when to face problems like an adult, and when to face problems like the Umbrella Academy?
This, and the same problem I have with Luther fucKING STRANGLING HIS SISTER WHEN SHE FUCKING APOLOGIZED FOR HURTING ALLISON IN THE FIRST PLACE, he didn’t ever really give her an option. He was thinking with his powers, not his head.
I, personally, don’t really think that Reginald taught the children those skills because he never really planed on letting the kids go. They never went to an actual school to learn, they only had the parents and guardians of the house to teach them things, and that can’t really count as having sociable interactions, because these are the same people they have known for their entire life. Hell, Luther did not leave the mansion beyond missions and midnight escapades till he was 23, and that was to go to the moon.
A part of me likes to believe that Reginald did love the kids, even a little bit, and he didn’t teach them these things because he never wanted them to have to use them in the first place. Reginald does not like kids, this is clear. But did it ever say the he didn’t like people, or at least, family? Hopefully this can be shown on in season 2, where technically the kids are not kids.
But seriously, who the fuck does that to their kids? What the fuck?
