PENGUIN Episode 7 Breakdown & Ending Explained | Review, DC Batman Comic Easter Eggs & Theories

[@heavyspoilers]

Let us know your thoughts on the episode

[@ashleyrobinson3394]

Young Paul was a Psychotic. 🤔

[@LitLounge]

Francis was an accountant for local mobsters. Jack was taking his ledger book and that's why Francis is getting paid. Last eps she told Oz she couldn't do numbers in her head anymore

[@jeegupopli1871]

It was bad, not as good as the previous episodes -- the story seemed kind of forced, and maroni of all people decided to visit cobblepots base of operations with just 2 men 😂😂😂 this episode was very predictable at every step.

[@admiraldickybyrd1207]

The dog was Mutley from Whacky Races

[@look4lec]

I think the Cartoon Dog on the younger brother's shirt (F in chat) was a take on "Underdog"... I loved that cartoon, it came out in the early 60s but it was still running when I was a kid in the 90s. Plus I loved getting underdogs on the playground where someone pushes you on a swing from behind and goes under you and you go really high. You had to be a kid to know this classic playground move.

[@Baynos]

Sofia’s guilt upon realizing she only set Gia on a dark path, like her own when she was younger, was utterly heart wrenching

[@alisterfolson]

Will she kill her before Gia grows up and wants to reclaim her birthright? Questions

[@GoJoeTransport]

@@alisterfolson maybe Poison Ivy origin, since it all happens in the greenhouse from the kid's perspective? I'm probably reaching. LoL.

[@GoJoeTransport]

@baynos Cristin is stealing the show. She goes from bat s crazy to sympathetic to cunning all in an episode. Great acting. Great writing as well to be fair. But holy heaven she's awesome!

[@AmusedPassport-ec1lv]

except for the fact that she put her there herself instead of offering to take her in

[@purrfitazitgetz3365]

I was wondering how that was going to play out because she swore she was giving her a better life but sent her on a rollercoaster ride to pure hell 🤦🏾‍♂️ Sophia didn’t think this thing thru to good but then I really think she used that girl feelings to justify her own actions but she didn’t give a fugg about lil Gia and would have deleted her family regardless

[@YnotNomis]

I love that they are making Penguin a true villain and not some "anti" hero.

[@delectableprovisions]

Right that's marvel being greedy trying to make sequels

[@CrookedStepsHardHeaded]

Thats conveniently placed to make Sofia the heroine of the story

[@Linklex7]

@@CrookedStepsHardHeadedNot really. She killed her cousins’s parents and then locked her up. She’s rotten too. Never forget, these are all criminals. Victor is the closest we have to a true protagonist.

[@CrookedStepsHardHeaded]

@@Linklex7 yes totally, but she's seen as traumatized, like too many bad stuff happened to her to make her who she was, unlike the penguin who's something that we're not supposed to feel bad for him

[@twomo1]

Once again, this show masterfully demonstrates how you write a villain main character, and a famous villain at that, and not cop out by just making their enemy so much more worse than them. They place Oz in the the protagonist seat and keeps him there, and yet allows the audience to feel several viable and appropriate emotions, including empathy and disdain at times. But at the end of the day, HE IS A BAD GUY who has done horrible things, and the show does not try to justify his actions or paint him as actually heroic (cough cough Agatha coughs sneeze). Edit: Oz definitely knew eventually. IMO He was waiting for them at the window initially, but as he settled down with his mother and got the attention he craved, I think he slowly made the decision. I think that's why we never see his reaction to the news, just the aftermath of his mom's mental state.

[@dominiquejones3805]

Yo I couldn't get n2 Agatha All Along. I don't care 2 watch the last 2 episodes

[@shannoncurry2037]

He made his mom a victim, then made her reliant on him and kept promising her a better life. Oz is disgusting.

[@DialloMoore503]

Oz took a backseat (no pun intended) in episode 4. He didn’t appear much in that episode. Which I think is pretty good storytelling.

[@jeegupopli1871]

Like tony soprano

[@twomo1]

@jeegupopli1871 exactly like tony! Like everybody has been saying, the batman plus the sopranos plus goodfellas plus an excellent showrunner is a winning formula.

[@seanocean4745]

He definitely killed the brothers on purpose. The shots of young Oz constantly looking over his shoulder and noticing the rain falling is the director showing us how dark Oz was from a young age in my opinion.

[@TheVenomousBeetle]

They already said in the aftershow that it’s a mistake he slowly accepts and embraces as he starts to realize they’re not coming back.

[@Creyole]

@@TheVenomousBeetle the mistake was locking them in there but he NEVER said anything.

[@GoJoeTransport]

@@Creyole I think that Paul explained it well. He was messing with them for picking on him and he'd get a movie night with his mom. Not an intentional death, but just an opinion.

[@IceCold_Carter]

It wasn’t intentional, he keeps looking over his shoulders bc he was expecting them to come bacc. A boy his age wouldn’t expect them to drown. He didn’t say anything bc he would have gotten in trouble, overtime he just accepted it (it gets easier)

[@DSu77iViN]

@@GoJoeTransport I think the folks that were involved in the filming explained it as it is. He didn’t necessarily murder them. He knew what he was doing and did nothing to stop it.

[@ericwilliams6153]

An explosion like that would definitely have gotten the batman attention

[@drogramadanjohnson1061]

Agreed

[@kadarabdullahi]

He's on a holiday 😅

[@backroom12]

Right but won’t be found anywhere near it . Naturally

[@JUS_-ux8ky]

I know he won’t show up, but I will go crazy if he shows up next episode

[@Loch1210]

He’s fighting a bigger villain who blew up more shit

[@1neOfN0ne]

I thought his brothers bodies were still gonna be down there when he jumped down. Shit would've been pretty dark lol

[@f8talfury]

Same!

[@Deadpan58]

He did find some skeletons when he first went down there with Vic to set up the shrooms

[@life-of-nawar]

@@Deadpan58 where is that ? I just went back to ep5,6 and all I got was him staring at the shut gate for 2 seconds.. no skeletons

[@jeffhidalgo6037]

Like clockwork! I had a feeling they would reveal Oz killed his brothers!

[@kntgaf]

yup

[@dominiquejones3805]

Right

[@JC.AEP2]

I was wondering why he was so quiet abt it

[@_tkershaw19]

Right

[@ashleybanks-wm4cg]

He got his own lil batcave

[@OsamaKhan-we7xi]

Blisscave* ​@@ashleybanks-wm4cg

[@gunnlaugr]

The behind the scenes state it was impulse but after that, it was intentional to leave them there. He was happy that he got all the attention.

[@TheVenomousBeetle]

Yeah. It’s clear. When it was too late he embraced it. But it’s still more of a manslaughter in intent.

[@bigmr_o8334]

This show is so well done it's crazy I've not been this hooked since shows like sopranos breaking bad etc with introductions with the films and the upcoming new show this universe is gonna be off the scale

[@dominiquejones3805]

Right, this show was what I wanted.

[@jcolumbus5127]

Haven’t been this excited for a show since the mandalorian s2 & cobra Kai s3

[@growthcountry]

This show is so good. I literally was on the edge of my seat during the Maroni fight. I literally got out of my chair and kept my eyes open to see everything. Man this show rocks!

[@JoJoJoker]

Ryder Allen did a great job portraying the young Oswald Cobb.

[@PatrickRockwell24]

Seeing Gia locked up at the children's home broke my damn heart. Part of me wanted Sophia to take her home but I had to remember, she's on her goon sh*t, so that wouldn't be a good idea either.

[@cineheroes857]

It's awesome, because she sees she's doing the same shit her dsd used to do, she even had a panic atack at this point. She sees herself on the girl, and as her dad killed her mom, she killed the girl's parents

[@TheVenomousBeetle]

Can’t wait to see “What if Gia is Zsaz??” after her arms. Makes about as much sense as those daft Vic Aguilar Zsaz theories.

[@ultron_sigma]

Well that ain't gonna happen if sophia isn't getting to what she's planning. I don't say dead since reports are saying she'll be in the batman part 2

[@francismartial6427]

I love how they've handled the relationship between Oz and his mother, we always kind of assumed and was sort of shown that Francis is the reason Oz is who he is but now we see that Oz is also the reason Francis is the way she is (partially) they both shaped eachother and neither is fully to blame for the other being who they are. It was the City who put Francis and her boys in the position they were in and by extension everything they became goes back to that, masterful way to show how Gotham creates its characters.

[@aaronlee5073]

Wow…Oswald has been cold blooded for a long time

[@ForeverBrooklynNYC]

They did a great job of showing how irredeemable he is and has been since he was a child

[@mattgilbert7347]

Psychopathic

[@nicomal]

I think he turned cold blooded when he killed his brothers, but it wasn't intentional. He kept looking at the window, expecting them to returned.

[@LunaticReason]

@@ForeverBrooklynNYC I thought the show did a great job making him sympathetic and likeable until this episode. He isnt just one dimensionally evil but a complex character.

[@purrfitazitgetz3365]

@@nicomalhow were they going to return if they were locked in there tho? He had to let them out because who else knew they were down there ? It’s right in ya face what he did 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@alisterfolson]

The brothers drown offscreen reminds me of that "mailbox scene" from the movie The Butterfly Effect. The actual deaths are more gruesome in thought more than visually.

[@bensadfleck9972]

They really made a good job making new take on the penguin while keeping the core traits of the character. Being jealous of your own brothers for the attention they recieved from their mom and then leaving them to die just because you thought they made fun of you? That's classic comic Penguin right there!

[@ramkay5702]

Sal sounded like Joker in Dark Knight " tell your men they work for me now"

[@shakeswigglez3746]

Man it’s getting hard to keep liking the Penguin. He is very selfish, he could of saved many of his workers by yelling there was a bomb but he thought only of himself and made sure to get himself out.

[@Loch1210]

You’re not really supposed to like him

[@ysmael3101]

he’s a villain bruh

[@DarkBowserr]

I thought he was gonna do that but no

[@kylecarter1599]

You think you're supposed to like anyone in this show?

[@andrewsilverio8289]

Yeah, I believe they are setting the groundwork these last 2 episodes to get us to hate Oz so we can root for Batman to take him down in The Batman Part ll. I believe either Colin Farrell or Matt Reeves said that Oz will do something so unspeakable in Episode 8 that it will make us not want to root for him anymore.

[@Loki_Yogi]

According to the actor playing Young Penguin, he absolutely intended to rid him and his mother of the two brothers. He talks about it in the Inside the Episode after the show.

[@DrSpaceCapeTV]

The way I saw it, Francis was a book keeper for Rex. She wasn't fussing over her bills, she was "working" and then had her son bring the cooked books to Rex. He then pays Jack $50 for the work. Then that $50 drowns in the sewer.

[@TheVenomousBeetle]

That $50 was worth $133.26 compared to now ($123.69 in 2022, when the show is set) Luckily that year they were getting rid of who set that in motion, couple months since BEETLEJUICE was released on video in September 1988, meaning these scenes take place between March and September.

[@ShredderSensei]

That’s exactly what happened. I thought it was bills at first but she was doing book keeping for Rex

[@Colex_ykf]

Man the acting in this show is phenomenal. It is so well made . Why do I care about so many bad fuckin people ?!

[@coleiobst9667]

I think he did it initially as a "oh I'll get back at them by locking them in there." and as the night went on, he just saw it was a blessing where he gets to now have his mom all to himself.

[@yukikid2195]

Am I the only one questioning if Oz has an edipus complex?

[@aaroncarroll2417]

I thought it was kinda funny when Sal and Oz were fighting, and Sal was showing signs having a heart attack, and it took Oz a few moments to notice, but before Sal died he had to let him know that he won in the end and I thought that was completely in character 😂 taunting him and popping 2 in him just for the ruse

[@Mayne-s4q]

Dude had an heart attack? What a way to avenge his wife and son.

[@ForeverBrooklynNYC]

Oz lucked out big time

[@ANTONl027]

Acting like that’s something he could have controlled 😂

[@sirikeeton1389]

It seemed to me that his stitches had split, but he was warned not to strain himself.

[@mattgilbert7347]

​@@sirikeeton1389yeah methinks that knife wound may have damaged something like an artery or arterial wall. It may have burst, thus triggering a cascade failure ending in cardiac arrest.

[@frolie3207]

Sofia doing to Gia what Carmine did to her….and quickly gets over it. CHILLING!!😭😭😭😭😭

[@techfuturist945]

not the same

[@lawrencelord9777]

my thoughts exactly

[@Day-ZDuke]

It’s not quite the same.....Carmine lied and made up a mental illness for Sophia, bribed cops and such to have her sent to an insane asylum / prison, and set her up to take the fall for his murderous actions Sofia didn’t necessarily know what would become of Gia, but she didn’t maliciously try to have her “locked away”; she’s in an orphanage, not an asylum / prison

[@frolie3207]

@ I get it and it’s great insight! But while Sofia might not know what will become of Gia, from the looks of that facility she’s in…the damage to Gia’s childhood has begun, which will affect her as she becomes an adult. I hope Gia doesn’t end up this way, but Gia knows something is very wrong. Many of the characters have one major thing in common they have led them to criminal lives: traumatic childhoods.

[@Day-ZDuke]

@@frolie3207 for sure it definitely parallels Sofia’s situation in some ways, and it definitely fits the mould for characters that end up being traumatized & evil (to different degrees) Will be interesting to see if Gia comes about again in future Batman Universe movies / shows

[@rayumbo]

I think Oz shouting “I got you, I got you!” Is an easy callback to the Batman where he thought that he got Batman but then he pulls of the impossible.

[@ChrisSmith-tu9bu]

I still can't believe that Oz murdered his brothers in a fit of rage and jealousy and even though he felt bad initially when they didn't show up, its still a little shocking/jarring that he didn't t say anything.

[@bensadfleck9972]

in the comics, Penguin ruined the life of a chef, driving him to the point of ending their lives just because he laughed at his direction, He is that evil.

[@ChrisSmith-tu9bu]

@bensadfleck9972 Yeah theres evil and then theres letting your little brothers die as a kid.

[@eskanda3434]

@@ChrisSmith-tu9buwell tbh what penguin did isnt even the worst ive seen. If you really want to know the evil kids are capable look up any true crime stories with them. I saw one where a group of 10 year old girls take another 8 year old and rape and murder her over and over again with a metal pipe. Then they bury her alive in the woods where she doesnt pass for days. Children are capable of vile acts too

[@Linklex7]

People be forgetting that Penguin is still an evil rotten villain. Just cause he’s not as evil as Joker (who really is?) doesn’t mean he’s this noble guy. He’s one of the big 4 of Batman. He’s an awful human being. Penguin is petty as shit.

[@ChrisSmith-tu9bu]

@@Linklex7 Again nobody thought Penguin was Noble but it's still wild to see him just let his brothers drown

[@bikyamasriyya]

they said in the bts that he didn't actively kill his brothers but he definitely knowingly just let them die. they were definitely highlighting his darkness in those scenes while hes looking at the rain and still not saying anything, and then enjoying the part in the movie where they mime a machine gun and kill all the dancers.

[@Tiffie.Jo83]

We should know that the scene takes place in 1988 because Oz stated that his brothers went to the movies to see Beetlejuice, which came out in 1988.

I don’t see Mad Hatter. Too cartoonish. Scarecrow is a much more logical choice and a better tier 1 bat villain. Hugo Strange is also an option but he acts nothing like the character. Rush is the right age to be the same as Joker and Riddler. Plus the drugs and his background make Crane a great choice going into the film as a secondary character.

[@DavidAnderson-m5c]

1:23 You were wondering about the shirt that Benny wears. I believe that's Muttley the dog, faithful sidekick to Snidely Whiplash. Who are they, you ask? They were the principal villains in the Dudley Do-Right cartoons of the Fifties and Sixties. These cartoons were actually short side stories put into the middle of Rocky and Bullwinkle episodes. And if you have to ask who *they* were, well, you'll just have to Google that yourself and make a wonderful discovery.

[@DinerLingo]

Actually Muttley is Dick Dastardly’s sidekick, not Snidely’s. Muttley & Dick are from the Hanna-Baberra universe. Snidely is from the Jay Ward universe (Rocky & Bullwinkle etc). Snidely dressed in the classic top hat evil villain look. Dick in a Red Baron-esque look. Both looked the same other than their attire & both twirled their long evil mustaches.

[@ShawnCunningham-96]

PREDICTION: The Batman Part 2 will have a mob element with Penguin being the focus. Here we are introduced to Dent. The film ends with Batman defeating the villain/saving them, having finally learned how to use his Bruce persona to help the public. Meanwhile, Oz will be arrested. The final scene will be Penguin throwing acid in Dent's face, setting up a Dent show where we see him spiral from a scarred DA into Two-Face. Oz will have a legacy of the last of the mob family trying to stay afloat, but in their scrambles creates a new era: The era of the freaks.

[@eggheadusa]

I think oz did know it was going to kill them, but wasn’t his initial plan. He looks back out the window and sees the jar fill up, it symbolizes his inner thoughts and realization.

The singer at the end. That might’ve been Eve Karlo.

[@billyfarmerii1669]

That would make Eve decades older than Oz 😑

[@MisterW99]

@ duh but there’s may obviously be more to it..

[@dammagrilla]

​@@MisterW99 What "more to it" are you referring to?

[@MisterW99]

@@dammagrilla that clearly the woman might not exactly be Eve Karlo but somehow has the same face has the present day woman that is Eve Karlo and clearly more will be explained on it in the finale. That’s obviously “more to it”….just like how there was “more to it” to how Oz was evil which was explained later on. Common sense.

[@dammagrilla]

@@MisterW99 So not Eve Karlo then?

[@TheMinimich66]

In the scene with Sophia and Gia, Sophia is wearing a shield signet ring, which have been historically past down in wealthy, powerful families and would often be gold engraved with the family crest. But Sophia’s is emerald and when the light shines on it, the signet is blank. I read that as having two different interpretations. It could represent a blank slate without any family influence, which would make sense given that Sophia was telling Gia that she could get out of Brookdale and have a fresh start. Or another way it could be interpreted is that the blank signet symbolizes a lack of connection and family or even the family lineage being wiped out-complete emptiness as the green of the emerald shines as a representation of greed, money, and power.

My Theory is Sofia will have Vic and Oz's mother and she'll make him k ill one of them to save the other. I think Oz will k ill Vic. Or, which would be even more insane, Oz will k ill both of them to save himself. Oz's mother did say that she wanted him to do it when the time comes. Just a theory but would be a crazy twist at the end, this would really drive home that we as fans should not be rooting for Oz.

[@kaned3570]

maybe, but i think oz will kill his mother like she asked, then sophia will lose her leverage over oz, but maybe were both wrong?!

[@WhosNathaniel]

@ Either way I can not wait for next week! It’s been such a good show and I can’t wait to watch it all over again once the final episode is out.

@ so why can’t he just say that instead of acting like he’s watching them with us ??? when he’s already seen them?

[@joshuat5140]

All big audience reviewers. Get early access. He might have gotten all episodes early but I'm sure he would atleast get every episode a few days before we the public see them.

[@joshuat5140]

@TheCulinaryMercenary- thats because you don't want to ruin your relationship with these companies. They probably don't want anyone saying that have already seen all the episodes etc. Due to people possibly trying to contact him and try to bribe information etc. So on his end it would be smart to not say you have early access.

[@AngryPug76]

I just love how much Dolly fits perfectly into this series!

[@joshmargolis1424]

I don’t think Oz intentionally wanted them to die, but he recognized what was happening once the rain started coming down. Also, it’s implied that Rex is Oz’ father right?

[@jasfx7241]

Yo the scene where Sofia notices on the hands of Gia (the little girl) that she did harm herself and she is seeing herself and remembering back then how she was in that position and when she gets out of the room and that crazy emotional instrumental playing in background made me tear up ngl that was so sad 😢

[@thebrowneyesofmandalore]

His murder (or accidental murder) of his brothers showed how even early on he reacted badly to anything that might’ve hurt his pride or any thing that might point to his lame leg. His brothers putting themselves in a place that’d make it hard for him to follow because of his leg instantly triggers him. They might not have meant it that way but anything that reminds him of his limp, like being called Penguin, in an instant death for those who do it. It’s the same situation as in the intro with Alberto.

Great episode

[@MidnightGarou94]

1:25 : Muttley or " Mumbly" (laff olympics version ) playing football

[@gmo3686]

18:14 They literally said they used the same set of Arkham for that scene in the episode’s epilogue A couple other things I would’ve mentioned in this: him watching the movie of the actor seemingly shooting the other actors with his cain in a nod to penguin’s comic book umbrella that often serves as a firing weapon amongst others. Also Crown Point being “No Man’s Land” is even closer to the comic now that the ground has been quaked by the bombing.

[@luisoflbcmediareviews4907]

Watch the official after-show. The producers shared that the orphanage was Arkham the set painted differently. No Theory time, just straight up facts.
