The Umbrella Academy is a series of comic books written by My Chemical Romance’s Gerard Way which was later made into a Netflix original show. Today (July 31st 2020) marks the release of season two, and fans are very excited.
Gerard Way apparently started drawing characters backstage before shows, and wrote it during the tumultuous time before My Chemical Romance broke up (as well as during the breakup).
Cameron Britton (Hazel), and Mary J. Blige (Cha Cha) became great friends on set due to their similar senses of humour. Though Mary reportedly had to go to “dark places” for her role of Cha Cha, and also had to practice martial arts every day on set with Cameron and their trainer.
The show has been filmed entirely in Canada (so far), Toronto to be exact, despite its American setting.
The show and comic are both great for those who love less mainstream superheroes and stories that play with time travel and the apocalypse.
As a tattoo, some of the most popular designs include the umbrella logo, Hazel and Cha Cha’s masks, and show favourites such as Klaus.
