Why did the ending of The Umbrella Academy suck so much?
Briefly

"To put it a little more strongly, fans are putting it on par with the ending of Game of Thrones. It's a controversial ending, but not just because of how shocking it was - the ending felt abrupt, unsatisfying, and left a lot of us wanting."
"The finale basically undermined everything the show tried to do and what made it appealing to fans in the first place. The supposed solution: Five learned from other versions of himself that the Hargreeves siblings' very existence was what caused the splintered timelines and apocalypses."
"In The Umbrella Academy, a self-sacrificial ending is antithetical to the core themes of the show. While some stories handle self-sacrifice perfectly, this ending felt at odds with everything established prior."
