It might not be 24 hours exactly, but the worldisending.
No one knows how to stop it (or, in Fives case, if itshouldbe stopped).
Assuming were at the end of the line: How best to spend the time they have left?
but its also a winning showcase for the work of this very strong ensemble cast.
The first major beat is Luthers bachelor party.
Even though nearly everyone in the world is dead, both Reginald Hargreeves and Sparrow Ben are excluded.
But the real event is the wedding itself, which is lovely, in a fan-service kind of way.
Klaus officiates, sobbing all the way.
Ben sulks his way through the ceremony, but at least he attends it.
That leaves the great conflict ofThe Umbrella Academys third season: Viktor and Allison.
Shortly before the ceremony, Luther begs Viktor to make peace with Allison.
After all, how much time do any of them have left?
Do they really want to waste it on rage instead of love?
This strikes me as a bigger concession for Viktor.
This is tragic, but mostly for Allison.
(For the record, my best guess was Tech Door.)
That said, Luthers performance of Total Eclipse of the Heartowes more toOld Schoolthan Bonnie Tyler.
Iabsolutelyteared up when Luther asked Viktor to be his best man.
Nice shout-out to the Large Hard-On Collider.
