Rewatching TUA - 3x04 “Kugelblitz”
The scene where we finally see the mothers, blew my mind and along with the music it’s one of my favorite scenes of this season.
But seeing it again made me want to look for similarities between them and their children… So based just on what we see in the scene and a few other things…
Monica (Luther’s mom): She works in a company, seems to be giving a presentation, she gives me business woman vibes, strong and with leadership. She’s tall, she wears baggy clothes, her coat reminds me of the S1 Luther coat.
Elena (Diego’s mother): Her clothes and surroundings are yellow, which is a color that resembles joy and warmth. Which is something I feel Diego always looked for in Grace.
There’s something about her cooking that reminded me of Grace offering those comforting pancakes to Diego in S1.
Victoria (Allison’s Mom): She’s a teacher, a profession related to children (that seems to be Allison’s focus this season, getting back to her daughter). To be a teacher she must be an intelligent, patient and disciplined woman.
There’s something about her dress that she also reminded me of Allison’s dresses in S2. The simplicity of a beautiful life in Dallas with her husband.
Rachel (Klaus’s mom): Rachel was Amish, I don’t know much about them so I don’t want to speculate, but she seems to me to be a simple, open and very spiritual person, which is probably why she was able to find peace after dying like that. In addition, the aura of kindness and calm that she emanates during the encounter with Klaus is something that resembles the personality that Klaus displays with his siblings on several occasions.
But it’s also a contrast, Klaus used to live in luxury in S2 and usually always wears extravagant clothes unlike Rachel’s simplicity.
Efa (Five’s mom): The first thing I noticed about her was how small she is… She works as a butcher, which is not a job typically done by women, so I imagine her strong and stubborn, very sure of herself and of her convictions and very hard-working. Her surroundings, as well as her clothes, are quite neutral.
The use of the knife and the blood on her hands and clothes are a very entertaining nod to Five.
Tatiana (Viktor’s mom): The first mother we met in S1. What I notice about her is how young she is… I wouldn’t know if she’s a swimmer or just in a class. But from the scene when Reginald arrives to take Viktor away in S1, she seems to me to be a simple young woman, a little shy (for the way she jumps into the pool after stealing a kiss from the guy) The contrast in the scene between the yellow colors in her clothes and the blue color in the surroundings is interesting, for what has been said, yellow resembles joy and energy, and blue, on the contrary, resembles sadness and the tranquility. Viktor is not necessarily a happy or sad person, he has his moments.
Moments in which he is the calm among the storm in the family but also the one who sets fire to shit.
Ben’s Mom: We don’t really know her name, she’s probably the youngest of all the moms. In the scene on the train, we can see that she is carefree, playful, and seems to be in love. There’s a softness about her that resembles Ben. She is surrounded by her family in the scene where Reginald arrives, and they seem protective of both her and baby Ben. Which also reminds me of the protectiveness that the Umbrella have over Brelly Ben.
The school uniform is probably the nod to Ben
