The most loved show on Netflix after Stranger Things is The Umbrella Academy. A billionaire industrialist Sir Reginald Hargreeves adopts 7 miracle babies and trains them as they have superpowers. He creates The Umbrella Academy and prepares these ‘children‘ to save the world. The father figure in the show is Sir Reginald, who makes these kids stronger. But as the narration moves forward, towards the end of season 3, we see Diego in the position of a father. Now, he trains and protects his son, Stanley. And recently, Netflix decided to celebrate this unexpected fatherhood.

Diego as the father in The Umbrella Academy

In season 3 of the show, Lila informs Diego that Stanley is their son. She has been raising him all alone for 12 years. Lila then leaves without giving out any information about when she will return. Now, Diego has to take care of Stanley by himself. Sir Reginald Hargreeves’ place as a father is now going to be filled by Diego for Stanley.

The fans witness the growing bond between Diego and his son Stanley during the whole season. “Stop trying to get rid of me. Everyone tries to do that,” says Stanley in episode 3 and justifiably so because Diego does try to escape being a father most times. However, that doesn’t stop him from being protective of Stanley. “That’s my kid, you a**hole,” are the words shouted by Diego while protecting his son. The evolution in their relationship is remarkable. Well, the fans are not the only ones who celebrate this beautiful bond of father-son. Look at the tweet pinned below, and you’ll know.

Along with Netflix, fans showered their love and celebrated this father-son duo. Let’s find out what fans have to say about this.
