Love that they are self-aware enough to make the villain be the villain. And love that they portrayed those actions as horrible things, not some tragic misunderstood backstory that the audience has to side with just because the one who did it is a protagonist.

[@uchihabomber1296]

That’s why I loved the show he’s not misunderstood he is an evil man and it’s simple as that. THIS is how you do a proper Villain project

[@themadtitan7603]

Same. Finally an actual supervillain project that shows the full extent of their depravity while still portraying Oz as a nuanced character. And I love how they subvert it too by playing into the small-time crook who wants to overthrow those in power & please his mom only to reveal these as just narcissistic plays to achieve his desires. This is ideally what the Joker movies would've been imo. A man who wants to expose the world for the joke it is & ends up coopting a revolution for his goals; all while they believe in him while he laughs at the irony.

[@themadtitan7603]

​@@uchihabomber1296 Agreed. And in that simplicity, they cemented Penguin as sinister & more nuanced member of the rouges' gallery much more than if they went for the misunderstood anti-hero imo. This is ideally what the Joker films would've been like as adaptations to me. Not a cautionary tale of a poor man beaten by society until he snaps, but the story of a vile, sociopathic narcissist who uses all of that as a crutch & the anger of disenfranchised men to enact chaos on the world.

[@thomastakesatollforthedark2231]

"I have the devil in my house" hit so hard

[@blackmanwithcomputer]

It is still tragic and misunderstood, tho....by the Penguin. Oz is so deluded by his own narcissism, cynicism and self-loathing that he has rationalized all the horror he has committed. He got everything he wanted in Vic, but that void needs more and to get more he must make himself "clean" of attachment. It's tragic in the Shakespearean sense. He's sympathetic, but he's also completely irredeemable.

[@rorysyers8457]

I like how this show keeps on telling you "THIS GUY IS THE BADGUY" but we keep buying Oz's bullshit. He sells out Sofia, burns a woman and her son to death and drowns his brothers but only when he kills Vic do we realize "oh yeah, he's the badguy."

[@Intr0vertical]

Ehhhh. Once we find out what he did to his brothers his whole shtick about loving his mom went out the window. He's a sicko with a sick perverse vision of what a mother is. Falcone and his wife and son were mobster scum, Sofia was also a member of the mob with an inflated ego of herself to the point she thought she was moral.

[@jacknagel9387]

Someone pointed out how brilliant of a character Vic is for the sense that he's there to ground the audience. As long as the good hearted lovable Vic was on Oz's side us as the audience felt like "Oh well if hes staying around it cant be that bad." Thats why when Vic dies EVERYONE felt betrayed. Vic was an extension of the audience. The moment he died and benefit of the doubt died with him.

[@rorysyers8457]

@@jacknagel9387 Yeah.

[@erubin100]

When randos who we don't care about get killed, no one really gives a damn. The writers knew this and took full advantage. It also helps if a lot of those randos are ALSO violent criminals. Vic was what broke the mold, because we spent so much time with him and got to know him so well. Everyone feels bad when familiar characters get killed (at least those that the audience cares about). It's quite brilliant in hindsight.

I hope they give Two-Face a show like this with law & order vibes after Batman Part II.

[@UrBoiCyrus]

Have the last few episodes have him becoming Two Face

[@M4TCH3SM4L0N3]

I'm on-board if it's a Harvey Dent series where we see him playing fast and loose with the law. I don't want to see a two-face procedural, as much as I love the character. To me, the idea of Two-face falls apart when writers portray him as having a soft spot for procedural justice. I prefer to think that as Dent, he saw the rules as a game to play, and he was the best there was at it; he wasn't afraid to selectively use the rules to make sure he always won, even if it was only on a technicality. The change in him when Maroni splashes him with acid is not just a change from good guy to bad guy: it represents a fundamental rejection of his former world-view. He did EVERYTHING perfectly, but he lost everything in the most seemingly arbitrary manner and the rules were meaningless to protect him. The key is that his core belief that he is exceptional remains central to his persona even after this, which is why he comes by embracing his role as an avatar of arbitrariness.

That intial scene with Alberto is brillant because it makes you sympathize with Oz. Alberto comes off like the callous villain Carmine was in the Batman, mocking him after this rousing speech about the man who inspired him, this robin hood esque mobster who looked after the little guy. Without context the viewer sees Oz's killing of Alberto as karmic punishment, with context Alberto is rightfully disgusted by the man who sold out his sister for his "thirty pieces of silver" and could care less about some 2 bit hood he idolized. Its just one of many ways the show gaslights you into thinking Oz has some level of decency before smacking you into reality.

[@umjammerlammy9993]

Coming to realize over the series that Oz killed the only person who was trying to actually help Sofia out of compassion and that you let yourself feel good about it because at the time, we thought Penguin was the little guy. Alberto was right all along. We just had to see for ourselves how right he was

[@ender5892]

At first I really desliked Alberto and thought he was the stereotype of dumb incompetent son of the Mafia boss, but when Sofia's backstory came up I gained a lot of sympathy for him, seeing he was the only one strong enough to stand against his father and to support his sister. It made me feel bad about his death.

[@alicobosboi]

I really hope this show is a sign for the transition of criminals to full on supervillains in this Batman universe. The psychopathy keeps amping up with Sofia and Oz that by the end, the old mafia families are long gone. I love this universe so damn much.

[@themadtitan7603]

I think both this & The Batman are about that transition. In the film, Batman says things will get worse before they get better & Matt Reeves said the Joker scene representing the rise of freaks following the Riddler. And The Penguin now ended with both the Falcones & Maroni's wiped out with a classic supervillain like Penguin on top as kingpin. I see Oz's organization recruiting outcasts like Killer Croc & competing with the likes of Black Mask & the Ventriloquist from here on out. Also both are very inspired by The Long Halloween which was about that evolution from crime families to comicbook supervillains & I can see it all culminating in that iconic splash panel of all the villains gathered before the guard. And same, I adore this universe, this is the grand Batman epic I've wanted to see on screen for years.

This shows you can have plainly vile garbage as the villain & also have them be layered & textured like real-life scumbags often are. If we get supervillains written like this, then give me all the pure evil antagonists we can get.

[@callmev3531]

4:55, Oz being able to briefly take on the role of a vigilante standing up for the disenfranchised parts of Gotham, threatening a city official to get the lights back on, is another way for the audience to get positively attached to him, while the aristocratic criminals only worsen the states of those neighborhoods and Sofia even bombs them to get to Oz. All in all, this story masters having all its characters be tragic or sympathetic, but still have them be villains, still be ruled by their egos, their jealousy, their greed, and ultimately suffer the consequences of them. Oz best understands that greed more than anyone else there, he understands the treacherous system he's in (while characters like Vic or Sofia each have chances to leave, but stay because of their ambitions even as they act as though they are better than them), and he exploits this flaw in others to benefit himself, even if he'll never be able to make Francis proud of him.

[@rayv6671]

Whats even more sad is when vic was going to leave, even if he left without oz's consent he would've had nothing to worry about because oz probabaly would've died right there, and yet oz couldn't see that that's the only bit of loyalty like that he will find in that line of work.

If shorter seasons are the new norm (which they clearly are), they should all take serious notes from Penguin.

I don’t feel like Batman would sit on his hand with at least something like the entire rest of the Falcone family dropping dead or Salvatore Maroni escaping from prison. Maybe because he’s a little inexperienced but I feel like Batman would be a little bit involved in a lot of the events that happened in the series. He’d at least be keeping tabs on who’s going to be on top of the crime stuff now. Idk it’s kinda crazy he really wasn’t even mentioned at all

[@ender5892]

Yeah, I hope they justify his absence in the next movie. Maybe he was on a sabatic year or something

It’s very nice to have a villain who stays a villain. I feel the whole “anti hero” trend is getting a little stale these days

It was the last straw for me when he offed vic Not even sofia was that cruel She actually rewards loyalty, Vic shoulda skipped town before the last ep

Now compare this version of Penguin with the other live-action Penguins: Meredith, DeVito and Taylor.
