That part about holding in your humiliation and using it at the right time when it has the most power. They understand The Penguin so well. I'm blown away by this cast.
This show is one of if not THE best show of the year. Amazing acting on all fronts. Never saw this coming. Best acting of Colin Farrell's life in my opinion.
You make a valid point, but theres 2 different people isnt there 1 who gave the review and 1 who is doing the interview and not 2 people review everything the same
@@bobjacob4237 You are correct, but it's still IGN. Some people at IGN may love the show. Some may hate it, and they went with that. But IGN is not reliable for reviews, that's for sure.
It’s brilliant that they keep Batman off this show and just focus on the elements of Gotham’s underworld. You don’t want to be like another studio *cough* Marvel *cough* and open up all these loose ends that never get tied up. This is just straight & to the point with great acting, cinematography & storylines. Oz was easily the most intriguing character other than the obvious in “The Batman” and to see where he comes from, his struggles with his mom’s dementia & mentoring of Vic is amazing. 🐧
@@KWAPT Absolutely. The show doesn’t need Batman at all. It was a brilliant move by the studio and the show runners. World building this new Gotham without the classic protagonist.
To my mind, this show is definitely not the Sopranos. Sopranos is a crime drama with a side of psychological exploration, but at its root, The Penguin was full supervillain drama. The Sopranos doesn't have a bona fide supervillain origin story like Sofia's. Or a classic supervillain underground lair. The Penguin keeps is comic-book roots carefully disguised, but the key elements are still there. That doesn't make it better than Sopranos or anything, but I appreciate how they subtly use the classic tropes of this unique genre to tell such a rich, vital story.
At this point, most people do not care about the Batman with his stickler mindset for the law and his personal self righteousness. The people want the story of the anti-heroes!
IGN hates WBD DC and everything they do from the movies, games and TV shows. Everyone except IGN says its a great show but these haters say is like a 5/10.
What does this even mean? Isn’t 80% of their site news and interviews? Literally every publication does this, even if they gave the project a 0/10. You’re still here watching ;)
@@flyswatter0182well it just shows you cant really rely on their reviews consistently. When the reviewer changes every day then there's no real quality gauge to hold on to. That's why Jeremy jahns and (used to be) Chris Stickman are more reliable, at least you know the kind of opinions you're expecting when you click on their videos. "If HE hated it, then you know it's bad" kinda situation.
What is this obsession with making stories in the Batman universe without even acknowledging that Batman exist? He doesn't need to be in every frame, but his presence should be felt. If a criminal is working at night, he should be looking over his shoulder constantly because he doesn't know if Batman is walking through the shadows. This is idiotic
Sure sure let's have Tom Hardy's Venom become a full on p🐱$$y and stop biting heads off in Venom Last Dance all because he felt like Spiderman is going to stop him from doing bad things WOOMP WOOMP!!!
@@Stealthybat39 that doesn't make any sense, batman was helping when the flood happened Probably Durant the penguin show he's still helping and combat crime also
@@RyanG0899did u forget when the movie came out everyone praising the penguin and wanting more ? Well we are getting it and 2 more Batman movies there are many people invested in this universe NOT just Batman ya bozo haha
It's a way of milking a tired old franchise that kids dig at 12. The whole concept is ridiculous. An heir to a billionaire who fights crime in a city he's a billionaire in? The $#@&?
Oh shut up. The first Batman movie gave us over 130mins screentime of Bruce and Batman. That’s 20mins less then what Bale had in the Nolan trilogy with three movies. It’s the most Batman centred focused trilogy yet. Just be patient and wait
You didn’t like the Penguin in the Batman? I’m more than fine with an amazing actor getting his own show building up the universe leading into the Batman 2
"Who needs Batman when you have the sopranos?" Why don't they spin off the sopranos then? The disrespect that these producers have for the material of the comics is crazy

Right! That was haunting. Really reframes Deirdre's character. "Oh, you've been pushed around by men in power? Yeah, I know that story."
How the fk did ign give this a 5/10 first episode was amazing
This series made me love the villain more than the original main vigilante.
Collins take on penguin is amazing
yup
The cast kinda candid psychological breakdown of the characters and story is refreshing and kinda mind-blowing. 😳
They praised she hulk, nuff said😅.

Review is by one person. That's how IGN works. And most organizations like this. Promotion and analysis are seperate.
Even the title is some shade being thrown.
Because of the actors, not the shitty content.

Just insane
how ridiculous
They gave Acolyte 6/10. Absurd.
Wow penguin really looks like frank west
I am genuinely surprised by how much i love this show. I remember it being announced, and i was like.....yeah ok, but man, it is incredible.
Colin the King of Hollywood shines the previous works of art and is truly commendable ❤❤❤
Collin is the best Penguin ever and it's not even close
IGN gave The Penguin a 5/10. Like what more are they looking for?!
Cristin Milioti calling Sopranos the greatest show of all time is funny considering she was briefly in it 😂
So? What shows are you in?
@@thatswhatithought6519 pump the breaks there rage boy. He wasn't trashing your show.
So excited for the show
IGN know they f’d up with their review, they added guidelines for the comments.
Batman should've been referenced. The show was amazing but if he was at least a looming threat it would've been better.
Would anyone who is a Batman fan that hasn’t watched The Sopranos and has Zero interest in Mafia shows and movies like this series?
This isn't a Sopranos sequel lol, it stands on its own.
Penguin has nothing to do with Sopranos, isn't similar in any way at all, they are just using the Sopranos name to get Google search results.
@@mattblah7737thats not true, there are a couple 'traces' of other mob/gangster characters from film, and television in this first episode.
Yes. Read the long Halloween. It's a sopranos story in the batman universe. Anyone who hasn't read a real batman comic isn't a fan of batman
@@djew67 thank you ! They’ve only seen the movies lol

this is great thanks IGN
The Victor actor sounds like Christopher Walken😂ha
GREAT show. No needs for bats. At leadt not in season one.
I think Oz is a combination of Tony Soprano and Nixon.
Cristen Ravioli is my crush in my fave movie 😍Respect to Heath Ledger on Hot Ones ain't got enough people.
Best Batman show
You gave this show a 5 wtf is this video
Italian American Penguin >>>>>
the best :)
It will be better if they don’t bring in batman
Too many spoilers. Had to stop halfway because the interviewer saying too much about Vic
He is my daddy ❤

I mean this is just wrong, considering how well the matt Reeves film just did but ok.

take it easy

So where is Batman when all this story is going down?

Helping the city rebuild as Bruce Wayne maybe he put the cowl down for a min
got captured appearantly, Gordon couldnt even contact him.

He's not the penguin yet in that show my guy, calm down.
Oz Cobb sounds like he should dress up in a corn outfit, team up with condiment king and rob a movie theater
Go jack off to Batman
