Maxx Danziger debates ‘Umbrella Academy’ characters with fans
After fans perpetually begged Set It Off’s Maxx Danziger to watch Gerard Way’s incredible superhero drama the Umbrella Academy, the drummer finally gave in.
Thankfully, much to nobody’s surprise, Danziger seemed to like it, except for one character in particular: Cha-Cha.

However, some fans of the show argued with Danziger, claiming that Luther may be a more unlikeable character.

Additionally, Danziger went into an in-depth character analysis of all of the other Hargreeves children, except for Ben (RIP). Danziger even named Aidan Gallagher’s character, Number Five, and Klaus as two of his favorites.
five was the most interesting character and klaus kinda got on my nerves the first few episodes but he really grew on me. i’d like to think that in the face of an impending apocalypse i too would make jokes and i think we have that in common https://t.co/Z5NIbxlIKF
