This Is What HotD Should Have Been! | The Penguin Episode 5 'Homecoming' Review / Reaction

[@BuyersGuyd]

Sophia is proof that a female "protagonist" can be bat shh crazy and still be likeable and "in the right"

[@lokey9780]

Yall are like a calm version of mr.Sunday movies and I love it.

[@Creator-saml]

Just because they’re Australian?!😂😂😂

[@SimeonToko]

I want to see Victor deal with Squid instead of hiding from him and take over Squid's street operation. It is time for Victor to become Marlo from the Wire and run the corner boys.

[@BenJack]

Re HOTD filming: Actors are the last people to see the scripts. So if they plan to film early next year, it would be normal for the actors not to have seen them yet. And according to multiple sources, pre-production officially began this week. Also Ryan Condal is still the showrunner and head writer. Sara Hess is just the most senior writer under the showrunner. And I’m sure she is influential, but Ryan still outranks her and has final say/leads the writers room.

Favorite penguin podcast glad I found yall

[@budgethornet7498]

Amazing Thumbnail!

[@shannoncurry2037]

I have a feeling Penguin will take over Squids operation and maybe let Victor kill him off or Oz steals the kill, and that drives a wedge between him and Victor.

[@YungJohnald]

Victor will definitely be zsasz. He’ll say something like “I’m Victor, zOZsz’s driver” and maybe never ever get out the driver part because of his stutter leading to being deemed Victor Zsasz

[@FamMoney510]

Apparently Sophia marries into the Gigante family in the comics becoming Falcone-Gigante.

[@mrmckie]

Take notes HOTD season 3!!! You have the material and know what to do already…no need to have characters spinning around in circles all season !!

[@Loki-g3k]

Or let the characters do things willingly not because of some accident or misunderstanding.

[@Nay-kp6uu]

This is a homerun guess, the shrooms are coming from Arkham. I thought Scarecrow but I hope Poison Ivy. The chemist last name was Bloom. Yes, that's not her last name but this universe changes last names. The police let in Julian, a theory is he's wearing a wire. Oz said the place Vic took his mom to was right next to the zoo. Devito's lair was right under a zoo.

[@burgunbeerd]

If it was possible that Penguin could lose in his own show. Would you want Sophia to win?

[@LAGUBEFINALBOSS]

YES, YES!

[@nathanlandolt5505]

I think it's gonna be a tight rope. Maroni has to die. The Penguin will definitely fit into Batman 2. But will Sophia? I think that's the question you have to ask yourself if you're Matt Reeves. Is there some way the two can enter into an uneasy truce going into Batman 2? Idk. But if they can I think that spells bad news for Victor

[@mrmckie]

I think someone is going to come out of left field in the end that no one is expecting…

[@nathanlandolt5505]

@mrmckie it's kinda confirmed Batman doesn't show up. Maybe Bruce Wayne but not Batman

[@mrmckie]

@@nathanlandolt5505 yea, i know. I’m not expecting Batman, I think another villain will show up

[@Scene-ByScene-7]

Wow they filled this Episode with so much stuff that it could be easely the final of a series

[@burgunbeerd]

Feels like any other modern show would've ended on ep 4 and made us wait another 2 years just to get that 5th episode

[@kevindunne1009]

I think Victor will be Zaasz and will kill Oz's mum with the rationale that she keeps Penguin soft.

[@JohnnyPappas]

Come on guys. Gigante is giant in Italian. Sophia is not Spanish. The crime families are Italian.

[@josef-ralfdwerlkotte8333]

Its also her name in the comics

[@umarheadcutter7189]

Is the same word in Spanish

[@JohnnyPappas]

@@umarheadcutter7189 Yes I know, have seen "Sabado Gigante.: :D

[@JohnnyPappas]

@@josef-ralfdwerlkotte8333 That's right but they twisted it, in the comics it was her married name.

[@josef-ralfdwerlkotte8333]

@@JohnnyPappas yes

[@gregv2k]

I love this conversation

[@marko.m8]

I can fix her!!

[@SpectrumMom]

I think you’re misreading Oz and Eve. I think there’s genuine feelings there on both sides.

[@AnaGarcia-bb7qj]

I hope Sofia ends in Arkahm again, I know she hates it but I don't want she dies 😭

[@ibnsabeel9466]

I see a possible scenario where Victor deletes Squid. That will make body 1 with certainty. We don’t know if the guy that he hit with the Maserati croaked 😵.

[@KrivitskyM]

I don't think the Maroni goon is dead. Broken legs, for sure. But the vital rgans were untouched as far as I understand.

[@nicklennox]

Did the lighting change for this video? Looks a little hot. Is penguin not very smart or is this a string of bad luck? Isn't he supposed to be extremely clever?

[@sinnoein]

He messes up quite a lot even in the earlier episodes. • Penguin messed up (pride) and killed Alberto. • Sofia saw through Oz right from the get-go and caught him. He got out because of his latter plan and Victor's involvement. • He would've died by the hands of the Maronis if he was able to hand Johnny Vitti's dirt to Sofia's uncle. • He was caught and exposed by the Maronis. If it weren't for Victor, he would've been dead right then and there. More could be mentioned but I think Oz cleverness is defined ultimately with how he adjusts and gets out in sticky situations.

[@bjt0056]

I only glanced at the thumbnail and thought this was a HotD book spoiler video. I discovered these guys after season 2 and enjoyed watching them as much as Glidus and Alt-Shift X. Im loving The Penguin, but am slightly disappointed. Good review though.

[@SlavYuriy]

Banger episode... Much bangerer than HotD.

[@sarahbrennan8815]

👍👍👍

[@thebirdcatcher1]

Weakest episode in my opinion. Penguin being heartbroken about the callgirl, Maroni just walks out. How did Sophia know where he was hiding?

[@slckatstreaming]

Escaping Arkham should be easy it’s classic Gotham criminal past time

[@thebirdcatcher1]

​@slckatstreaming haha that was my cope mid episode. "Well I guess that's on brand."

[@pondertheorb2304]

​@slckatstreaming it's not even arkham tho. It's black gate prison

[@DystopiaWithoutNeons]

I agree it was the weakest episode, but only because of how the Oz conflict with the Maronis and their son was solved. Spectacular over story, the same sin of HOTD2. They gave oz an odorless fuel, so it doesn't arouse suspicion, and that it spreads fire and burns bodies as quickly as they would inside a furnace? Man come on...

[@SaltyRaccoon]

I'm pretty sure they filmed how Salvatore escaped but it ruined the (near perfect) pacing of the episode so they didn't keep any of it. What I think happened is something like: The guy working for Oz had some kind of a master key on him, Sal took it and executed a prison break he was preparing for months. Maybe they saw all this and were like "Why do we care, the show isn't about him, he simply escaped and that's it!"
