Some Umbrella Academy fans aren’t happy with Halsey after she shared some opinions about the Netflix series that they definitely didn’t agree with.
It all started when the musician made some comments about fans not liking Luther.

She continued to defend her feelings when the hate started.

However, once she finished the show, she got where the fans were coming from and admitted to not knowing at the time.
Ohhhhh. I just finished UA. Now I know why u guys hate Luther hahahaha

However, she still didn’t love all the hate she received for having empathy for the character.
UA fandom coming for me because I had a moment of empathy before finishing all the episodes. IM SORRY LOLLLL

And then, she blamed the creator of the show and My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way for having to defend herself online.
I can’t believe I’ve been arguing with a comic book fandom on Twitter all day this is Gerard Way’s fault

No matter where you stand, you definitely can’t be mad at Halsey for having amazing taste in TV shows.
The Netflix adaptation of Way’s The Umbrella Academy is streaming now.
Way recently revealed that he wrote much of The Umbrella Academy while on the road. Additionally, he explained the wholesome concept behind the series.
The series also paid homage to the comic’s writer by including an adorable Easter egg during its first episode.
Also, Way recently said that the characters in the series are inspired by the “dysfunctional family dynamic” of the MCR members, which totally made sense to us.
