original character is dead in the comics, so they've already made changes in this adaptation, I think making his character trans is a smart move

Bruh if Gerard the creator of umbrella academy is chill why can’t we. If the creator said it’s fine it’s not a disservice to the character

Honestly as a trans guy ppl have no idea how much this means to all of us.

We're at a point where we need to accept that characters need to be changed/rewritten in the name of progress. inclusivity and education.

As a lesbian I was a little sad to lose the representation I saw in Vanya but I’m infinitely happier abt having a trans character for others :)

It’s… still the same character… he has just transitioned, adding to his character development

it feels like they are only doing it cuz a trans actor is playing a cis role and they dont want that.

The Directors of Unbrelly Academy definitely transitioned this change for the actor to Elliot, the change really worked from how Vanya’s character was portrayed 👍

the og creator gave the thumbs up for the change and I'm happy to see Elliot have a role he'll be more comfortable with

I honestly thing it's a very good fit for the character and would suit the plot line very well if it's done properly.

Vanya is my favourite character and I'm really excited to see how Vanya becomes Viktor. Also, huge fan of the K instead of C

Amelia :
The author of the comics chose to do it. Elliot looks a lot more masculine than before, so it would be weird for his character to remain a woman.

I think them changing the Characters name is what’s upsetting everyone but good luck to him I’m still gonna watch

Fabulous Little Rat :
Honestly I think Viktor being trans actually makes a lot of sense for his character development, a lot of his previous development has been him

The only issue i have with it is that idk if theyll be able to write into the script properly, unless there just not gonna mention it

The show is crazy this is the most realistic thing to happen. Also Vanya has spent the past couple seasons finding himself so it makes sense

it’s not transphobia for me, I’m just upset they are changing a character majorly, just because of the actor
