Allison Hargreeves Knows The Man Behind Peter Parker
Tom Holland is n’t an particularly mutual name , andit seems highly unconvincing thatThe Umbrella Academy ’s fine art department would call their unseen actor " Tom Holland " at randomwithout make a mental connexion to the substantial - liveliness doer . The consultation can not , therefore , be dismissed as mere coincidence , have in mind one version ofThe Umbrella Academy ’s timelineincludes MCU histrion Tom Holland starring opposite Allison Hargreeves in a low - budget romantic clowning .
Tom Holland must have take a very dissimilar career route , asThe Umbrella Academyhas never give any indicant that the Marvel and DC fellowship are part of its own creation .
The Umbrella Academyseason 4 referencing Tom Holland is n’t typical of the Netflix show , which is fix within a semi - fantastic , alternative late-2010s Earth .

Even stranger is thatThe Umbrella Academy ’s version of Tom Holland must have taken a very different career path , as the show has never given any indication that Marvel and DC companies are part of its own creation . The Hargreeves siblings themselves were comic Word of God superheroes with legal action figures and celebrity status , not the like of Spider - Man and Captain America .

Why Love On Loan 2 Is On VHS
No Tom Holland Movie Should Release On VHS, Right?
The offbeat twist toThe Umbrella Academyseason 4 ’s Tom Holland cite is that " Love On Loan 2 " run into shelves as a VHS tape , not a DVD or Blu - Ray . Tom Holland ’s movie life history began in the 2010s , long after the VHS had pass from the mainstream , and that detail may , at a glance , advise the " Tom Holland " who starred alongside Allison was a completely dissimilar actor .
Crucially , however , the front cover of " Love On Loan 2 " clearly shows Allison as an grownup , which means the fictional pic sequel must have released during the 2010s , otherwise Allison - who was born in 1989 - would look noticeably immature . By that logical system , the Tom Holland mentioned on the VHS screening could indeed be the real - world MCU star .
While it is strange that a fictional movie purportedly issue in the 2010s has a VHS tape , the anachronism works forThe Umbrella Academy . Most prospect of the show ’s original timeline mirror our own human beings , butThe Umbrella Academyoccupies a measuredly retro bubble . Throughout the totality of season 1 , for representative , The Umbrella Academyincluded no cellphones , bank only on telephone booths , landlines , and answer machines . It pee-pee consummate sense , therefore , that a motion picture Allison and Tom Holland asterisk in would release on VHS inThe Umbrella Academy , not more late format like DVD , Blu - Ray , or streaming .
