Season 3 of ‘The Umbrella Academy’, on Netflix, exudes naturalness when going from Vanya to Viktor, a transition parallel to that of the actor.
Netflix premieres the third season of the fun ‘The Umbrella Academy’ demonstrating that the most controversial and commented topics can be the easiest to deal with.
Elliot Page, nominated for an Oscar for ‘Juno’ (Jason Reitman, 2007) and known for his roles in ‘Hard Candy’ (David Slade, 2005) and ‘Inception’ (Christopher Nolan, 2010), December 2020 made the news when he communicated on his social networks that he is transgendernon-binary and that the pronouns that should be used to refer to their person are “he” and “they”.
As the world turns, society advances, and companies in need of our money embraced Elliot’s bold ad by updating the listings where his “no longer” appears.dead name”. Netflix, which did not take long to update its metadata about the interpreter, assured that Elliot Page would continue in ‘The Umbrella Academy’, the series in which at that time she played Vanya Hargreeves, a character who, until then, was understood as a cis woman.
It remained to be discovered how all this would be dealt with in the plot of the third season and, as usually happens in this type of case, lThe solution was much more obvious, simple and natural than prejudice and sadly inflated debate would have us believe..
“I’m Viktor, always have been“, comments his character before three of his brothers. “Is he a problem for anyone?” he asks before Klaus (Robert Sheehan) replies: “No, what’s up. cool.”
“I’m happy for you, Viktor, but no one has appointed you as spokesperson for this family,” Five says. and to something else.
The sequence in Spanish is also the first in the one that Page stops having the voice of a dubbing actress (in this case that of Nuria Trifol) to be interpreted by the actor Marc Gómez.
“Trans actors can play trans and cisgender characters. I’m sure Elliot will continue to be brilliant in ‘The Umbrella Academy’ and in many different kinds of roles in the future,” said Nick Adams, Director of Transgender Media at GLAAD.
This, of course, will be a problem for those who pull their hair out when it is pointed out that a cis man is not the best option to embody a trans woman, ignoring (but knowing) that equal opportunities is a chimera in each and every one of the labor sectors. Come on, little by little.
Fun and carefree from the start, ‘The Umbrella Academy’ season 3 isn’t as strong as the second. It returns with a plot that takes its protagonists to the present to discover that not everything is as they remembered, especially with the appearance of The Sparrow Academy and a “grandfather paradox” of apocalyptic consequences. For those who are a bit lost, we remember the timeline of ‘The Umbrella Academy’ explained by Netflix.
In addition to Elliot Page as Viktor, we return to Tom Hopper as Luther, David Castañeda as Diego, Emmy Raver-Lampman as Allison, Robert Sheehan as Klaus, Aidan Gallagher as Number Five, Ritu Arya as Lila, Justin H. Min as Ben and Colm Feore as Sir Reginald.
