I give episode 8 a 9/10 and the entire show gets a 10/10 it’s an amazing masterpiece, this show is so well done that it makes me excited for The Batman Part 2 because the penguin does have Batman references in it and familiar characters that were in the first Batman movie that are going to be in the sequal, Marvel and Sony should look at this and see that this is a villain project done right.
The Penguin is amazing and this is how you make a villain project and is done right, Sony should take notes and see how you make a villian project and keep them the way they are instead of turning them into a good guy, this put marvel an sony to shame.
@@TheGrayGhost92Yes Deadpool is an anti hero because it fits his character whenever he does something good and bad but I’m talking about the Sonyverse villians like Venom, Morbius, Madame Web, and Kraven because Sony turned them into good guys for no reason, Sony needed to keep them as full on villians so we can understand their characters but No they decided to turn them into good guys because they want money.
Matt Reeves managed to make something on par with Joker 1 and Logan, and unlike Todd Phillips has gained my further trust. Matt and the Penguin writers have embarrassed Sony and Disney. Sony especially needs creatives like them in charge of villain spin offs. Matt also does grounded and mature comic book properties better than Disney. Matt feels like he would fit in with the Netflix Daredevil creatives.
It’s sad Tony Todd recently passed away. I would’ve loved an R rated animated movie about his venom and be about his rivalry with Carnage. And both characters wouldn’t be heroes and instead still villains. Similar to how Oz and Sofia were both the protagonists of the Penguin series but both still were villains and not good guys in the slightest. Imagine something similar with Venom and Carnage. And I know Venom can be an anti hero sometimes but if he’s gonna be one he needs to be like Punisher and regardless not family friendly.
17:08 That’s not the corrupt cop from the movie. That’s the chief from the movie, Chief MacKenzie. The corrupt cop was grey haired and his name was Kinsey. Kinsey worked for the Falcones and is the cop that arrests Sophia in the flashback and gets his nose broken by Batman. We never got confirmation MacKenzie was dirty. Batman just asked him if he was.
I did like how he held his cards close. Didn't give up the ring til he had to, didn't give up the dirt on Vitti til he needed something to bargain. It's why he didn't get too big. He needed to get that deck stacked. They need a Magic the Gathering Penguin deck.
I’ve outgrown Marvel I gave up in the middle of phase 4 and as the months went on I lost the value of rewatching the Infinity Saga films. I would forever like Batman though I always like detective films and stories The Batman is one of my favorite films and The Penguin is now one of my favorite shows I haven’t watched a good show in a while.
Marvel is for babies, instead of PG13 they should make it PG9. Marvel has always been for the most part garbage. The new Daredevil movie was complete garbage too, hot garbage
You and me both buddy. That's partly why I was inspired to make this video. For all this talk about Marvel being 15 years old, they treat their audience as if they're 15 years younger. And much like you, I've outgrown Marvel as well for this very reason. Feel free to subscribe buddy, as I would LOVE to have you as a member of the channel! 😊
@@seansullivan7928 funny how I expressed the exact same view in my comment and yet true to form utb deleted it rite away 🤣 needless to say I couldn't agree more with you!
I think that the Maroni fight was meant to be like that as it was a brilliant plan by oz and he was waiting for the magnificent payoff more than us and then all of a sudden Maroni dies and all the pride he wanted to feel was lost and same as when his mom went into the vegetable state both times he wasn’t able to stroke his ego with the victory which led to him dancing at the end with Eve
Yo Eric. This show has been teasing a specific Villain in this universe. In the courtroom scene in THE PENGUIN in the 8th episode, there’s these sculptures that vaguely resemble birds. And the most known birds in Gotham are… owls. And Owls are often the animal theme sometimes in Gotham because of The Court of Owls silent influence in Gotham. And the world of Corruption in Gotham in The Batman is perfect for The Court.
The Penguin easily does a villain spin off right! Oswald Cobblepot has never been more frightening in live action! I know it’s Cobb, but I always will call him Cobblepot.
Penguin got two families to kill each other then got all the 2nds to off their bosses THEN in a show of force to all the gangs he had the cops send his last rival to Arkham. So now he controls two families and with Bliss no longer a thing he's got the drops lab the Maroni's stole from the Falcones. His mom said it. "He knows everything" Long live the King 👑
Amazing show and I give it's a 10/10 I can't wait for the batman part 2 and marvel & sony should really look at this and Realize that they made a mistakes of Introduction way too many new characters that we don't care about and turn villains into hero and i really hope that marvel does not screwed up on daredevil born again next year and good video Eric take care
Eric,your high rating shows IGN how to properly make a good review.But imo,I would say the Penguin show is the best comicbook show.The Daredevil show had some good episodes.But it also had some bad ones as well.
I feel like the Moroni heart attack was meant to show, how penguin was upset that he didn't get to hurt him, to highlight his sadistic nature. Because you'd expect him to be relieved that he got lucky, but he was angry instead.
It most certainly is Sep! :) The Penguin is amazing, and the complete opposite of the next thing I am going to review. Feel free to subscribe as I would love to have you as a member of the channel! ☺️
I would say Heath Ledger is better. But they're both incredibly talented and transformed themselves for these characters. In order to really make that comparison I think we need to see more scenes of Oz going up against Batman. Because Joker got that opportunity, but The Penguin fully realized didn't.
I binged it after I finished it and it was awesome to watch all the scenes that made sense only after you know about Oz’s real backstory, such as the one when he hugs his mum and says who he is and that his brothers aren’t here anymore. Damn that was a good show.
Great review as always Eric what really surprised me about this show. Was that even for a week week show I believe I got my moneys worth while watching even a single episode of the penguin In the fact of the show didn’t make the penguins seem all innocent and actually made him a villain well, also showing some caring side of the penguin but seriously Man this show was just fantastic and the score you gave to the show seems really perfect to me 9/10
I’m gonna disagree with you on Salvatore, I think Oswald’s’ reaction to the heart attack is supposed to be the scenes takeaway. Yeah its convenient but the way that Oz isn’t really accepting that he didn’t beat Salvatore fair is setup for later on when he denies his mother not loving him and knowing about what happened to his brothers. He never acknowledged her knowing about the brothers. He’s kookoo for cocoa puffs
Lol I KNEW someone would make that joke when I said that. 😂 Regardless thanks so much for watching Harry! Feel free to subscribe as I would love to have you as a member of the channel! I also have a Joker 2 video coming up which you might be interested in! 😊
Sophia didn't know how much Oz cared for Vic at the time. She just thought he was Oz's driver/bodyguard. Marone's death was okay. Funny tbh. Given his age and stress he was under, yeah. A heart attack or stroke was inevitable.
This show was absolutely fantastic! I kept waiting for something hokey, woke, or anything ridiculous, and it never happened it was the best show made in a good while
I've thought about it. But it won't really do good with views. Maybe I will make a video comparing the two in a similar way I made this review. What did you think of this review format by the way? Do you have any criticisms?
I know what you mean. It will be very depressing. But I did watch a bit of the first episode again and I was able to watch it again despite knowing what happened at the end.
15:48 It reminds me of the time Jim Carrey played Colonel Stars and Stripes in 'Kick-Ass 2' and why he withdrew his support of the film because of the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting even though his character is an expert marksman vigilante.
It's already available for early access on Patreon and TH-cam Memberships. If you want to watch it right now then just head on over. It will come to the channel a bit later, so Patrons can feel like they get their money's worth. ;)
Do you mean Mackenzie Bock or William Kenzie when you say ''the corrupt cop''? I don't recall seing Kenzie apart form the flashback and Mackenzie Bock seemed quite shady but I don't get why he'd be rounded up or quit the force.
I was referring to Mackenzie Bock, The Chief. When Batman said "The DA would rather die than talk. Who was he afraid of? You?" Mackenzie had a smile on his face. Which to me showed that he was corrupt. And in the next scene Batman thought so and told Gordon. So that's why I'm surprised that he wasn't at the very least questioned. But that's my opinion on it. What do you think?
@@EricCarter12 He may have been corrupt (I don't think we get a definitive answer to it) but I don't really think Gordon has the power to question him since Bock is the Chief. Bock became the highest ranking cop so I don't see any reason for him to not be in the force in the Penguin. The corruption in the system didn't seem to end in The Batman so I don't think anyone could've rounded him up or questioned him.
Exactly. You'd think with all of Marvel's attempts they would be able to crack the code for making a near perfect Streaming Show. But they haven't. They're still making all the same mistakes. DC also has Peacemaker which was another great show that utilised its episode count extremely well. The MCU doesn't match up to either of them. So in that regard, The Penguin is the second example of how Marvel could be doing so much better but for some reason are not. Thanks so much for watching buddy! Feel free to subscribe as I would love to have you as a member of the channel.
@@EricCarter12 yeah but dc also had many attempts aswell, most of them flopped (gotham knights, naomi, titians, most of legends of tomorrow, krypton. To name a few) marvel on the other hand only started making more series about 2 years ago, had their highs and lows but had more success that dc. So i wouldn't say that dc is kicking marvels ass in the show industry because they had one almost perfect show. Now if dc was constantly making memorable hit after hit that would be different. But i really appreciate you for taking time out your day to respond. Enjoy the rest of your night bro!
@rozariovalley2727 I see your point. But I'm not reffering to the CW Shows. I'm specifically referencing the Movie Spin Off Shows. Individually both Marvel and DC have great shows. But their in-universe shows are a completely different comparison. That's what I'm referencing in this video. And no problem buddy! 👍

Exactly Oz wanted to enjoy that kill and was robbed of his moment just like the audience.
Oz was upset he didn’t get to kill Sal so I feel like that was completely on purpose, to show a bit of satism in Oz, he wanted to enjoy the kill.
Bingo

They changed his name due to copyright.
