‘Umbrella Academy’ Theory Explained: Why Luther Was Really On The Moon
Los Angeles, California: The Hargreaves siblings are gearing up for another crazy time and space adventure as the fourth and final season of ‘The Umbrella Academy’ is set to make its grand premiere on Netflix on Thursday, August 8, 2024.
Based on the comics of the same name by Gerard Way and Gabriel Bae, the superhero series follows a dysfunctional family of adopted siblings, each with unique powers, as they band together to unravel the mystery of their father’s murder and avert an impending disaster.
In the show’s first season, Number One, aka Luther Hargreaves (Tom Hopper), is seen living a lonely and dull life in a caravan on the moon.
The news of the death of Sir Reginald Hargreaves (Colum Feore) sends him back to Earth, prompting him to reconsider his commitments and intentions, but the reason behind his moon adventure is a topic heavily discussed throughout the show’s three seasons.

Reginald took advantage of Luther’s unwavering dedication by sending him on a solo expedition to the moon without revealing his intentions.
Luther carefully prepared reports and collected samples, certain that he was warding off extraterrestrial danger.
However, Luther realized that his reports were never checked and kept in his father’s office.
Later, the talking chimpanzee and butler Phineas Pogo (Adam Godley) explain that, after Luther’s injury and subsequent transformation, Reginald planned a trip to the moon to give him a purpose, leaving him devastated as he realizes that his father only left him. wanted to give the way

In the Sparrow timeline, Luther confronts his father Reginald about his moon expedition in ‘The Umbrella Academy’ Season 3. Reginald reveals that the expedition had a specific purpose: ‘to protect the most precious being in the cosmos.’
Flashbacks reveal that Luther was unwittingly protecting Reginald’s wife Abigail Hargreaves (Lisa Repo-Martel) in a cryogenic cell housing.
The need for protection probably stemmed from the potential danger presented by Reginald’s adversaries, as noted in Season 2.
Pogo’s claim that the purpose of the voyage was to give Luther a sense of purpose was partially correct, either due to his lack of knowledge about Abigail or his ongoing efforts to hide Reginald’s secret.

The final season may dive further into the full truth regarding the moon mission and its ultimate purpose. Luther’s discoveries about harboring Abigail may lead to further revelations about Reginald’s motives and secrets.
As previously revealed in the season 3 finale, the superhero siblings’ original purpose was to enter Oblivion and power up a universal reset machine that Reginald intended to use to revive his wife Abigail.
While this may initially seem like a personal goal, it may also indicate that by rescuing Abigail, the team can save the world in a way they don’t fully understand.
