The Umbrella Academy has been one of Netflix's greatest successes in recent years, delivering a comic book adaptation with significant personality. The second season of the show proved to be a hit with subscribers, and there's been talk of an animated spin-off to extend its universe. Shooting on the third block of episodes began earlier in 2021, and has now officially wrapped ahead of a hoped-for launch in summer 2022.
It's fair to say that the launch of Marvel's What If...? last week showed off the potential of the animated series for playing around with the MCU. The first episode's focus on a universe wherein Peggy Carter became the pioneering super soldier, rather than Steve Rogers, put a fresh spin on Captain America's origin, and raised various questions for fans. A particularly choice in the story did have some people scratching their heads, though, namely why Bucky Barnes makes so many jokes.
