Forget Baby Yoda, We Want More Of Umbrella Academy's Baby Pogo
Netflix is offering up sneak peeks at The Umbrella Academy's new season all week long, and kicked things off with a look at Baby Pogo.
Baby versions of iconic characters are all the rage right now. Baby Yoda started the trend when he popped up in The Mandalorian last year. Yes, it isn't really a baby version of Yoda, just a younger version of a creature from the same species. Paramount saw the traction Disney+ picked up off the back of its tiny Yoda and decided to do the same with Sonic in Sonic the Hedgehog.
Well, we think Netflix might have Sonic and Yoda beat. The streaming service is dropping sneak peeks of The Umbrella Academy season two all week long in preparation for its release this coming Friday. The first sneak peek, which landed on Monday, gave fans a look at a baby version of one of the show's characters, and confirmed what some believed they saw in the trailer at the same time.
It's Baby Pogo! For anyone unacquainted with The Umbrella Academy, Pogo is a walking, talking chimpanzee that helped care for the Hargreeves family when they were children. The trouble is, and major spoilers alert for anyone who hasn't seen season one, Pogo meets his gruesome demise in the season finale. He is killed by Vanya (Ellen Page) as she brings the academy crashing down.
Umbrella Academy fans had been wondering whether they would see Pogo again in season two after confirmation that the seven heroes would be heading back in time. There was talk that a baby version of the chimp could be seen in the trailer for the show, and Netflix has now confirmed those rumors to be true. Whether Baby Pogo has developed the ability to talk yet remains to be seen.
The Hargreeves siblings are shown talking to their adopted father during the trailer for season two, and since Reginald is responsible for creating Pogo, that's likely where he crops up. As for breaking the news of his untimely death sixty years on to the young primate, it might be best to sweep that under the rug since the timeline has changed, and his death, at least at the hands of Vanya, might never actually happen.
