Having this show and Agatha running at the same time is the best peanut butter and Jelly sandwich of comic book based storytelling in streaming series right now. They really compliment each other and make them both better.✌🏾✌🏾

I agree if people don’t want to watch something that’s you know far more intense they can watch Agatha if people want to watch something that’s far more tense. They can watch the penguin or they can watch both.

As someone who grew up with Killing Joke, Long Halloween, and Dark Victory, I get confused when I see Twitter folk say this is “ashamed to be from a comic book”. It’s on par with a bunch of elements from those gritty comics. The Falcones are slightly tweaked but they are the same characters in spirit. Especially Sofia Falcone who’s just as vicious in the show as she is in Dark Victory.

As somebody that used to have a brutal stutter Rhenzy does a really fantastic job as Victor. Never felt so seen by a character. He gets that when you're feeling anxious or when you're having a one to one conversation it's so much worse than when you're feeling relaxed with someone. Also the thought of John Googling camming after this is hilarious haha

Yeah, that reason how Sofia got a early release from Arkham has me wondering if that plot will play a major role in The Batman 2 if there are other "rehabilitated" Arkham inmates terrorizing Gotham.

Critics that say it’s not like the comics are people that never read comics more than a handful of times and never all the One Shots , elseworlds, what ifs , prestige format and mature audience stories that BOTH marvel and dc have published…🤦🏽♂️

Agatha and a lot of the MCU in general feels like a comic book come to life. Penguin feels like the opposite, like real life source material that becomes a really good batman comic. Both great

Oz told Sofia his mum died a few years ago _so that Sofia can't use her as leverage_ He's been keeping his mum very well hidden away because he knows that his enemies would use her against him if they ever found her. Seeding the idea that she's dead is adding to that protection. The only thing that is going to be a problem is that Sofia didn't seem completely convinced - and we know how smart she is
@JohnRochaSaysАй бұрын
@@jollyrayda Yeah. We all know why he lied to her. It’s just shocking that the show is asking us to believe that the Falcones have never followed him to that house and found her.
@jollyraydaАй бұрын
@@JohnRochaSays I don't think the Falcones _care_ enough about Oz to follow up on whether his mum is dead or no. Sofia is a different matter... He's also been clever/paranoid with the car situation - a lovely, _eye-catching_ purple Maserati that everybody knows belongs to him and a run-down old beater to go visit his mum. They've provided the framework for suspension of disbelief at least - for me, anyway 🙂

I think the show benefits a lot being derivative from the comics and especially the movie because a lot of the broad strokes character development was already taken care of, allowing the series to focus more on details and great pacing.
@commandZeeАй бұрын
I really hope that by the end of the series they really sell what makes The Penguin a worthy opponent to Batman. So far, a genius for improvisation ain't a bad take at all.

People compare Penguin to the Sopranos but Oz and Sophie are more clever, more manipulative, and working more chess layers than any Sopranos character dreamed of being.

Hahaha! You've gotta be joking. Tony working the Jersey crew as he fends off his cousin, his stupid friend Artie, his drug addict nephew Christopher, his asshole uncle undercutting him, his crazy Mom and all the New York crew coming after him??? Get outta here. LOL
@gregv2kАй бұрын
@@JohnRochaSays Tony only ever acted out of necessity and was usually the last to know who was coming for him, or pitifully paranoid. Tony was a blunt instrument- everything looked like a nail. The only Soprano remotely as clever as Oz was Livia, and even when Melfi tried to warn him about Livia Tony refused to see it. If you don’t know that Tony was a dull blade whose id-driven narcissism ended the DiMeo family then you REALLY need to re-watch the Sopranos because you missed out.

@@believeume122 Wait….you think a homicidal criminal who kills people whenever he feels like it and just set up Castillo to die in this episode for something he didn’t do is just “putting the fear of God in Victor because he DOESN’T want him to die”. The same guy who just used Eve to be his alibi for killing Alberto which might get her killed is suddenly now a caring mentor. Come on now.
@jollyraydaАй бұрын
@@JohnRochaSays Hear me out - there might be something to their relationship. A lot of people think Penguin didn't kill Vic because the stutter means their handicaps give them something in common - but I think he recognised one of his brothers. Oz seems very lonely, and having Vic around may be something that takes the edge off that, while giving him a lackey trained exactly the way he wants. I still can't tell you if Vic will last the season, or even which decision would satisfy me more, but I think Oz genuinely took Vic under his wing (no pun intended)

I gotta say I think you're way off the mark with Sofia. Nothing about her says psychopath to me-all her unhingedness feels like a mix of severe trauma and mafia callousness. All the tension she has doesn't seem like it's her holding back some animal violence threatening to burst out, it seems like her desperately holding herself together so she doesn't shatter under a decade of institutional abuse (which ngl her therapist seems to be part of). Genuinely at this point, from the way she's being framed as having had all dignity and autonomy stripped from her, I'm having serious doubts that she even committed the crimes that she was incarcerated for. I mean, Carmine is the one in the movies who had a habit of strangling women.
