The third season of the Umbrella Academy left fans with many questions. All of the Hargreeves children are in a world where they don't have powers and Sir Reginald Hargreeves seems to be alive with his wife. It is hard to wait until the next and final season, I can tell you that.

Did I just have to look up if there would be another season? Yes. It's just been that kind of week with a bunch of shows I love getting canceled.

One burning question is what happened with Allison Hargreeves. It looks like everything is perfect for her. But could she merely be in a simulation?

The Woke Iliad

Paid Promotion

The woke and the based battle it out in a hilarious revamp of Homer's Iliad.

Helen, America’s Ambassador of Woke, has been abducted on the orders of the Moldovan President Bagrayev, the most politically incorrect head of state in the world. The outraged Americans, led by the conscientious General Womack, invade his small but nuclear-armed country. To gaslight Bagrayev and avoid triggering the Armageddon, they assemble a coalition of allies and sneak into Moldova overnight with a thousand submarines. Once at war, Womack must avoid escalation of violence at all costs. He must manage his opponent’s volatile personality as well as the bickering identity groups within his own ranks. Both sides must find a way to deal with ruthless social media psyops and with perfidious captives and defectors.

Read now to find out how this most modern of conflicts will end, stuck as it is between the hyper-violence of nuclear holocaust and the hyper-sensitivity of wokeness.
