Don't worry. Batman's going to avenge Victor, Sal Moroni, Sophia's brother... And all the characters that we're going to forget about two weeks from now, lol jk
this and why past trauma shouldn’t be used to excuse villains behavior because they hurt ppl who aren’t even a threat just pure evil there is no excuse a lot of ppl have been through things they don’t do these things why are points like this brought up when evil ppl do evil things
The writers of this show are villains lol Even though you know that Oz is a villain you're supposed to root for in a show made to pit him against other horrible mobsters: You now want Batman to womp his ass even harder because Oz is somehow an even more insidious force than typical cartel drug runners. He is in fact a Supervillain and it is an earned title, an actual polar opposite to Hero. The Anti-Batman Reeves is onto something here
You can do both. If he keeps doing things like Crown Point he will be the grey character they wanted- brutal and evil but bringing good. Like a true godfather.
Scans exactly about what Rex said about fatherless men being amazing henchmen. Vic was always a dead man for being naive in Gotham. Ironically so is Squid :D
He was always like that, I'm surprised fans didnt realize it. It was hinted so many times that he was able of empathy but he didnt care when it came to reach his goals. It was so obvious, all the criminals knew Oz was a traitor, a man with no code. He didnt transformed into his worst self, he was always a rat pretending to be the "man of the people".
Pay close attention to when Oz is actually alone like this. You see who he really is. The whole time was just performance art for Vic same as anyone else. Vic was just there when The Penguin was down on his fat ass and saw someone easy to intimidate, just like Rex said about men without fathers.
@breach005 I didnt think Oz was fake, and that makes it worse, because he was being real with Vic but the moment became an obstacle to reach his goals he simply did what he did during all the show, eliminate the obstacle.
Im also happy the connect was made between Sophia and Selena as another connection to the film. Also Catwoman is totally breaking her out of Arkham lol
@@breach005i was actually thinking during the episode if they couldn't get Pattinson and Batman due to DCs stupid no batman on TV rule, Selina could have been a part of this series being Sofias half sister.. Was kinda disappointed they just left that for a post credit scene
I like how Oz just becomes another carmine with the chocking victor the scars on his hand when he kills victor like carmine and making Sofia a scapegoat
The whole show is a cautionary tale about populist leaders that lie to your face to get what they want. Can't imagine why that sounds familiar whereever you are in the world. Batman has its own lessons too about revenge and vengeance ruining your life
I gave Oz too much credit thinking he’d likely be placed in a situation by Sofia or somebody where he HAD to kill Vic. Nope, he chose it just because he couldn’t handle having someone around that he cared about who also knew his most intimate secrets. Ice cold, fit for a penguin.
And also Oz had just engineered the extermination of the Gotham underworld leadership by turning trusted lieutenants who had their bosses backs,against them. Oz had told Sophia about guys who hustle and take all the risks only to be ignored by those they work for. Oz could not take the chance that Vic could one day grow to resent him or just "Want more" and Oz would give him a opportunity because his love,friendship,and trust, for Vic,(who as you said..Knew Oz's most intimate secrets) would create a blindspot just as it had for the gang leaders he had killed.
Joker 2 had 0% to do with telling a good story and 100% with Hollywood being up its own ass to crush depth Thankfully Matt Reeves and the runners of The Penguin are not total morons
The Bat Symbol at the ending be like ''I hope you enjoyed every moments because it is over'' Man cannot wait to see Bruce coming back as a bigger menace in The Batman 2
They finally made a REAL villain. I went from liking him to pure resentment. Finally, someone to compete with Heath ledger’s Joker. And don’t act like he’s not on that level because you forget that it’s Colin Farrell. Thank you DC for actually making a villain that I hate.
I guess that’s a good point. I have to get over the writers and penguin killing Vic but it’s so hard to come by a good villain so maybe Vic is the price for a once in a lifetime villain
I love how this is so set up for Bruce Wayne to be a real man fighting this murderous, populist POS in that sense. Batman is not enough itself this time, Wayne needs to step up to fight for his city himself.
You're wrong again. Oz is the devil, and by letting him live, she essentially made a deal with the devil. Hence, in the end, she gets what she wants but not like she envisioned. 14:55
Remember he's no longer oz he's officially the penguin and we got to see how much of a monster he truly is. The bat signal signified fear to those monsters and hope to those who need it.
Moreso, I love it puts Batman in a position where Batman doesn't matter. Batman is righteous, but still ALONE mostly. Batman attacked the criminal apparatus while the rich apparatus that hes a part of went unchecked. That is what Oz gets that rich people like Wayne can't. And that is community. PII will feature Wayne growing into the role and defeating Oz mostly but the "only Batman handles this parts", but then Batman will be full swing for Mr Freeze I hope
As soon as I felt the relief like “they’re out of the shit, they made it together” then I hear that resolution music and I was like “oh no this isn’t going to end well is it”
Oz told you exactly why he killed Vic. If Vic had called him, “a great Boss” instead of “like family,” he’d probably still be alive. Oz had already killed his actual brothers, so of course he killed his new brother (Vic).
Ong I was thinking the same thing. I was like Vic you bein to vulnerable with this monster rn. It’s over for you buddy. I didn’t know it was the finale yet so I didn’t think oz would just choke bro out right there. Had to pause and jus sit there for a second and catch my breath
It was irrelevant at that point; Vic had seen too much. He’d seen Oz vulnerable, his secrets. Oz basically said he can’t risk that kind of liability anymore “with where I’m going” to Vic before he did it So whether Vic saw Oz as boss or family didn’t matter, it’s what Vic’s knowledge and presence could be used against Oz in the future / would be a source of weakness Additionally, Oz was more of a Father figure than a Brother to Vic
@@onetwo-in4mhwell considering the show is about the Penguins rise to power and the mob families in The Batman, I'd say it did its job well. Batman showing up would have caved in a lot of the story because then there's the whole "where have you been this entire time?" That would just sink the story and turn it into Batman 1.5. It was smart of them to avoid Batman to keep the story grounded and believable that there's more stuff going on behind the scenes than just what you ever see from Bats POV.
Whats the most messed up part i feel like everyone is going to overlook is how he didnt fufill his mothers wishes, being stuck to rot in her own body, being constantly lied to by her own som. He promised her he’d put her out of her misery but instead of being locked in her own house all day by herself, she’s now paralyzed for the rest of her life awaiting for death to come take her. That is really really dark.
For me that's what I thought about first when she became a vegetable. I was hoping he killed her in the house but he obviously didn't. They pushed hard as possible that he has no redeemable traits. Great episode.
"You'll hate him" yup. If not for escaping Sophia he was having a total narcissistic collapse while getting called out finally after like 40 years. Her being a bedridden, non-speaking confidant to his hubris is just another level of Oz's misery, delusion, and cruelty. He will be the praised good son even if it destroys Gotham.
Imagine , she will live in suffering for thé rest of her life because her son is a psycho with a huge ego And also don’t forget Vic decided to not go with his girlfriend when she took the buss because he was loyal to Oz Man Oz really is the Devil, I don’t know how Matt Reeves is gonna make The Joker who is supposed to be the worse villain more cruel than this
It may have been revenge for the things she said to him and then stabbing him. Living as a vegetable was the one thing she didn't want. We see that with a tear at the end from her. Same with Sophia. Killing her would have been letting her off easy. Putting her back in the asylum was more punishment in his mind.
She’s just as evil as he is. Evil begets evil. She was gonna have him clipped and agreed to sell her soul for riches and a penthouse on his promise. This is all her own fault. Both can be true
Everyone thought Vic wasnt going to make it. When it actually happened, people were still shocked. If Collin Farrell doesn't win for best actor, its rigged.
Him keeping his immobilized, unable to speak mother alive just to hear his delusions is just icing on the shit cake that is Penguin. However, Colin Farrel deserves a fucking Emmy because you could see the Narc Collapse happening while Sophia was exposing what a wretch he really is, and even his own mother always knew he is.
@@GabagoolGang Exactly, that's my point, all these people saying that he believes his own lies, that he showed his worst version, are failing to see that he always knew what he was doing, lying, and that his worst version is only his real version. I don't know if people are just naive or if it is very good writing lol
Did anyone else notice that one of the last things Oz said to Vic "You are a good man Vic" mirrors back to the 3rd episode about Vic having doubts about the life and what his family would have thought of him
In the moments leading up to Vic’s death I was thinking about how Matt Reeves said we aren’t supposed to like Oz by the end of the series. Needless to say, Matt Reeves was right. Need Batman like now.
@@greekyoungbuckI was fully team Oz until he offed Vic personally. Hes the pure underdog who weasels his way out of every situation, its impossible not to like him or root for him, you're literally meant to
@@aleemizcool3654 I disagree he was obviously horrible with what he did to his brothers and showed no remorse for it. And he lied to his mom's grave and just in general showed delusion. Even the scene with his mom at the hospital although I felt bad for him because it was his mom I felt more bad for his mom. That opener in the club is where I realized what I think you realized which is this dude is horrible. The Vic moment was definitely sad since I felt like his charcter peaked with putting the gun to Sofia’s head. But by the time we got outside I new it was up. Dude killed his brothers and showed no remorse which I think is the moment everyone realized what his character is. With that being said knowing what I know now I'm still team OZ at least with this series because seeing a villan win is always a good time. Different feelings great show.
Makes sense, maybe if he survives he will come back as the psycho he should be and his story will Oz will prove to him that nobody can like him and there is no one for him in this world so he will decide to just kill everyone, and Matt Reeves did say in The Batman 2 we might see alot of villains, so he might appear as a new version of himself in The Batman2, IF it is the Vic we all think about ofc
I really like how vic barely even stuttered at the end, like when he stood up to the gangs. It really shows how far he came in this world and how he grew his confidence. Im so devastated that he died like that and am now a #1 penguin hater. 10/10 show for me.
The minute I saw Oz crossing the street wearing a tuxedo and carrying a top hat I had a huge smile on my face. I just wish he at least wore it for a few minutes.😅 The look of the Building of the old Monroe building is looking more like a replacement for the Iceberg Lounge. Hell even the final shot of the batsignal in the background looked like something out of a batman comic. Just a great ending. 👌 This show only increases my excitement for The Batman Part II.
I am 100% on board if this is The Batman>The Penguin>2Bat2Man>Frozen>The Batman 3. Seems Catwoman will probably break Sophia out of Arkham. I think Rush is being set up as the Mad Hatter later
Awesome breakdown every week mate. was really good to get background and insight into the things i missed. was an excellent show and now im looking forward to the next batman movie!! thanks!!
And the really cool thing to me is like what is so drastic to use the bat signal now? All the gang wars didn’t, so what is so dire that now it’s being used? That intrigue has me so hyped for batman 2!
The consistency of this world is so tight between this show, the movie, and Paul Dano’s Riddler comic. The more you dig into the Renewal conspiracy, or just how much the actions of Carmine & Thomas Wayne created this entire web of characters, the more details you’ll find.
Great series this is the first one ive watched week to week i usually wait till they all come out but that plus breakdowns had me ready for next episodes lol im pretty hyped where it all goes in batman 2 great show Paul
Yes they didn’t have to do that. People aren’t black and white. Penguin was already a terrible and selfish person, I liked the idea of a terrible dude having at least one friend. Made it more interesting
@@masonlee5866thats the thing. He cant afford the liability of another familial target so that he could have the greatest asset as Sofia said (thinking his mom was dead)
@@ninanando if he is fine with killing him he can just let Vic die of natural causes/gotham. If he ends up in a situation where they use Vic against him he can just let them have him. I didn’t like it
This show I think did an amazing job showing Oz work up from minnow to Megalodon, a villain worthy of not only Batman but Bruce Wayne too which is really fun. It seems the 2nd film will center around the power vacuum in the Broken City, now swallowed in the cold
His scowl is just so cool man, with the scarred up face. When hes holding Sofia at gunpoint he looked so cool. I was hoping so much he'd put on the tophat at the end
I cried wayyy too much during the finale. The true painful moments for me, with any scene with Francis needing to be taken into consideration, but Sofia getting sent back to Arkham and Victor’s death were possibly the two moments that broke me the most. Beautiful acting, gorgeous cinematography, and fabulous writing. This show was seriously top-notch!!
Penguin a cold mofo I had a feeling he was going to kill Vic at the end when his mom was a vegetable this way he doesn't have a weakness his enemies can exploit nobody is that close to him
Thats exactly what i thought too she was the last part of his transformation to the true penguin but still suked to see vic die ir did he??🤨gonna be his arch enemy😂
100% on point for Penguin. Remember, he recruited Vic into a life of crime at gunpoint, later Vic reveals he feels hes being held hostage. Penguin gaslights him more into a father/son analog, and keeps doing that. Up to Vic's final minute, he bought Penguin's bullshit hook line and sinker, because as Oz's top hero Rex points out, men without families will latch on to scumbags like them for a purpose.
@@breach005i still don't think ir was that cut and dry though. Oz DID care about Vic, he meant a lot to him and that is precisely why he got rid of him, even when Vic left, Oz was genuinely hurt by it and when he is talking to Sophia he's riled up and emotional because his hurt carried into the next scene. Oz KNEW Vic made him too vulnerable...Farrel and the showrunner also allude to this heavily after the shpw wrapped up
There was one moment he actually stuttered just like Vic does when truly nervous, blink and you'll miss it, while begging for his Mothers life. The Emmy should be for that alone, wow. And that is in an embarrassment of great performances
Even though it was like 100% certainty. Watching Penguin off him like that is so cruel. Looking forward to Batman sending this dick head to see Sophia at Arkham lol
@@BigAl455 Indeed. Those other crime bosses were killed by trusted lieutenants they let their guard down around. Oz knew he could never risk having someone he could ever trust to have his back,because that's the guy who could potentially turn on him. I f you never trust anybody,nobody can betray you.
This season was amazing and you guys did an amazing job covering it! Watching The Penguin and then Heavy Spoilers has been the highlight of my Sunday night these past few weeks. Thanks for all of the work and love that put into these videos. This is always my #1 spot, especially when it comes to all things DC. Keep up the great work!☮️
I'm actually glad Batman did not show up it would have taken from the story but the bat signal was a perfect touch. And Sophia was absolutely gorgeous in that dress in the beginning. She deserves an Emmy for that acting as well💯
Me too. "Durr I just want to see de batmorn" sorry James Gunn's brainless Batman is over there if you want it --->, I want this. Nuanced, well told, badass Batman without weirdass aliens or some shit, sounds god damned great. Most shocking thing about The Batman was: he was actually a detective lol
This show as a masterpiece, at one point I forgot about Batman, this is the angle and way they should keep dc dark realistic and gritty We want more character shows
Masterpiece, best Comic reinaction i have ever seen, been consumed by it last couple weeks, never showed an interest in the Gotham universe until this.
Spot on! I didn’t think about Batman at all throughout the show. It was so good! At the end when he killed Vic was I had to be reminded that Oz is not a good guy.
DC shouldn’t be completely realistic and gritty. While certain aspects of the universe can benefit from that tone, I’m glad James Gunn is going for a more fantastical DC universe that fully embraces every aspect of the comics. The last thing we need is another dark and gritty Superman film, for example. DC is more than just Batman and Gotham City and even those have fantastical elements that should be explored.
That episode hit hard! They really stuck the landing. And Vic’s death was one of those things that you thought might come, but still kicked your ass when it happened. And thank you Heavy Spoilers for another fantastic breakdown
This show is ultimately about not becoming a naive dumbass. Sorry, but Vic was a naive dumbass (tragically pushed into a life of crime ya yah he's dead). However, that is perfectly what Rex was talking about when recruiting.
Masterclass in writing. Oz is a deplorable murderer and drug kingpin, but legit fights for Crown Point too. This is very much modeled after Alphonse Capone which was very much part of this thing as a man of his neighborhood while committing crime elsewher. Cobb is extremely charismatic, a way to make up for his deformities otherwise, but uses this to gaslight and manipulate you too. He even gaslight his own mother to his murders. You can see maybe Oz in another life would have been Batman too.
@@AmandaFromWisconsinhe better damn well not be but I’m more upset of the needless death of their partnership. When Vic came back with the car I was so happy.
@@AmandaFromWisconsinyou didn't hear his neck snap. I was screaming at the TV "just go limp dude, just go limp, let him think he strangled you to death, but he struggled and penguin gave a little twist and "pop!"
Me too. I knew right from episode 7 after the bomb a batman signal was going to appear. It's the only way the show could tie into the next batman movie 🍿
shoutout to one of the dopest double time bars ever put to record. also, i don't like batman or superhero stuff at all but i really really liked the penguin. super interesting, grounded, and human take on what's usually a ridiculous campy comic book supervillain. this series was awesome on pretty much all fronts, which is really saying something for a show about a silly character like the penguin.
As soon as I felt the relief like "they're out of the shit, they made it together" then I hear that resolution music and I was like "oh no this isn't going to end well is it"
I like the attention to detail in this series from the Penguin driving a purple Maserati with his fast life to a purple Bentley being more sophisticated aiming to get into politics.
@@aleemizcool3654 Nah it's pretty much the same thing. Tony killed Chris because he was going to hold him back and Oswald killed Vic because he was going to hold him back.
@@ThwipThwipBoom but Tony killed Chris because Chrissy was a fuck-up and unreliable druggie. Vic was nothing but loyal to Oz. They managed to make an even darker version of Tony Soprano, thta's something
@@ThwipThwipBoomChris was proven to be unreliable and he could’ve gotten Tony killed or in jail, him crashing the care was the final straw In this case Vic was just saying how he views Oz like family
Earth One Batman is so good, I loved seeing the refeneces to it in The Batman and this show- a masterclass on respecting the source material despite tinkering with some of the elements
I don’t know how to explain it but the way Collin’s eyes changed during the final scene with vic was confirmation to me that he was gonna get rid of him.
I am glad they made The Penguin a pure evil cold-blooded monster that will rip off his own friends, mom and anyone just to be the #1 Kingpin of Gotham City! He is worst than Scarface and Tony Soprano!
Also don’t forget that oz lied to Vic about who stabbed him. He says Sophia, not his mom. Kind of insinuating that oz genuinely either is in shock, or just can’t see his mom that way
@ and about the him killing his brothers thing being an accident. I kinda figured it was because in that same episode we can see that he looks back and the door several times, insinuating that he expected his brothers to come back at some point
This ep only proves everything, and everyone, are just wood for Oz's fireplace. It always was, he's an evil POS and always has been since 10 years old. Last few scenes really make me hope Batman heelchecks that fat nose
This show was to comic book-related movies as Andor was to Star Wars. It really elevated a silly concept and character to a higher dramatic level. One of the best shows in recent memory.
I knew it. The instant he said, "You're like family," I fucking knew it was over😔 I know that Oz is not a good person but I was hoping he would give him a chance
What Francine said about Oz "I brought the devil into my house..." that was a gut-wrenching and for her she realized her son was gone and their was no saving for him. It reminds me of the movie "The Good Son" starring Macaulay Culkin with Oswald Cobblepot where he is literally a monster and just progressed in being a bad person, becoming the full fledged criminal. Then having Eve Karlo dress up like his mom and telling her to tell him he is a winner says he is far gone and no turning back.
Its hard for me as a single man now more less to imagine "sorry, your child is the most serious POS that ever existed" and being forced to go along with it basically.
I honestly like that they portraited Penguin as small with big nose and gave him his biggest signature, his sofisticated umbrellas. This show is so true to its origins! Wau

🤔😱🤯
Damn
It should be studied the way had us root for him for 6 weeks then magically made us despise his existence. Possibly TVs best villain rn.
7 weeks, but to be honest….. i still like him. He’s such a cold-blooded, ruthless, wacky, and calculating sob
The whole show is a cautionary tale about populist leaders that lie to your face to get what they want. Can't imagine why that sounds familiar whereever you are in the world. Batman has its own lessons too about revenge and vengeance ruining your life
He’s like Saul Goodman spliced with Gustav Fring
They managed to do a Tony Soprano where it took 7 seasons/years to despise him and managed to do it in a small fraction of that time. Amazing
One of the best for sure, probably best currently airing. At least till we get a Blood Meridian Adaption lol
I gave Oz too much credit thinking he’d likely be placed in a situation by Sofia or somebody where he HAD to kill Vic. Nope, he chose it just because he couldn’t handle having someone around that he cared about who also knew his most intimate secrets. Ice cold, fit for a penguin.

He is a true villain this is not Disney marvel
Perfectly said
@@alsimmonshellspawn6021 you gonna act like the high evolutionary didn't literally torture animals and sentient lifeforms lmao.

I am SO sad about Vic. Like we all saw it coming but he had such a great arc. Was hoping to see more of him in the future. 😢
That shit hurt
Felt it coming right when Vic said Oz was family...
As soon as I felt the relief like “they’re out of the shit, they made it together” then I hear that resolution music and I was like “oh no this isn’t going to end well is it”
That hurt he could gave him some money and said never return again simply as that
@matthewcunningham3648 yup when he said family.. I was like oh boy you don't wanna be his family
I thought for sure Oz got the scars from Rex that night and he killed Rex and just strolled back like "Ma you want dinner?" Lmao
Vics death was a gut punch, going to be sad about his death for a minute
he was blindly loyal.
It hurt, but it shows how Oz is willing to do anything to get to the top
What’s sad is that you felt him dying and it felt like penguin was choking you with Vic
@@reddays8448 exactly how I felt... couldn't breathe... only think "WTF"
@@reddays8448good explanation…I can’t sleep now 😢
Oz told you exactly why he killed Vic. If Vic had called him, “a great Boss” instead of “like family,” he’d probably still be alive. Oz had already killed his actual brothers, so of course he killed his new brother (Vic).
Linc told his ass about them words 🤣😂
Ong I was thinking the same thing. I was like Vic you bein to vulnerable with this monster rn. It’s over for you buddy. I didn’t know it was the finale yet so I didn’t think oz would just choke bro out right there. Had to pause and jus sit there for a second and catch my breath
He told him in first episode - he'll keep him as long as he can use him.
Fratricide or Siblicide or Cainism.
It was irrelevant at that point; Vic had seen too much. He’d seen Oz vulnerable, his secrets. Oz basically said he can’t risk that kind of liability anymore “with where I’m going” to Vic before he did it
So whether Vic saw Oz as boss or family didn’t matter, it’s what Vic’s knowledge and presence could be used against Oz in the future / would be a source of weakness
Additionally, Oz was more of a Father figure than a Brother to Vic
This Series absolutely stuck the ending. 9.5-10/10. What a wild ride.
Totally agree. The .5 that didn’t land was totally forgivable because the 9.5 was so perfect!
Wrong. 5/10. IGN said so.
@@BaneofBalor I know you're joking but ppl need to stop caring at all what IGN has to say. I thought ppl would have figured that out by now lol.
@thephilosopher7173 The problem is most people aren't aware of it and just see their reviews and base their judgements on that
@@onetwo-in4mhwell considering the show is about the Penguins rise to power and the mob families in The Batman, I'd say it did its job well. Batman showing up would have caved in a lot of the story because then there's the whole "where have you been this entire time?" That would just sink the story and turn it into Batman 1.5. It was smart of them to avoid Batman to keep the story grounded and believable that there's more stuff going on behind the scenes than just what you ever see from Bats POV.
The kid that plays Oz is great
Kid really nailed some of Oz's Ozisms, very good indeed.
Kid, bro a grown man hes probably older than u
@@donavan34 I think we are talking about the kid that plays young Oz
still looks like J.cole for me after the whole season lol
@@donavan34 The kid that plays young Oz is like 10 years old. Thats not an adult.
I think Sophia's analogy of the baby birds and the mother hit home with Oz and his own mother and was so on point
So was Oz to vehemently denying it lol "Fine, nevermind the point is you're a fucked up piece of shit Oz"
It was on point because she made it up
Yea it was supposed to be that's why she said it
@@DblTap317 Lol That was exactly my thought. It wasn't exactly subtle.
The hell u talkin about!? What "Boirds!"
Man Vic’s death was such a gut punch I almost got convinced he was gonna make it to the end😢
Whats the most messed up part i feel like everyone is going to overlook is how he didnt fufill his mothers wishes, being stuck to rot in her own body, being constantly lied to by her own som. He promised her he’d put her out of her misery but instead of being locked in her own house all day by herself, she’s now paralyzed for the rest of her life awaiting for death to come take her. That is really really dark.
For me that's what I thought about first when she became a vegetable. I was hoping he killed her in the house but he obviously didn't. They pushed hard as possible that he has no redeemable traits. Great episode.
"You'll hate him" yup. If not for escaping Sophia he was having a total narcissistic collapse while getting called out finally after like 40 years.
Her being a bedridden, non-speaking confidant to his hubris is just another level of Oz's misery, delusion, and cruelty. He will be the praised good son even if it destroys Gotham.
Imagine , she will live in suffering for thé rest of her life because her son is a psycho with a huge ego
And also don’t forget Vic decided to not go with his girlfriend when she took the buss because he was loyal to Oz
Man Oz really is the Devil, I don’t know how Matt Reeves is gonna make The Joker who is supposed to be the worse villain more cruel than this
It may have been revenge for the things she said to him and then stabbing him. Living as a vegetable was the one thing she didn't want. We see that with a tear at the end from her. Same with Sophia. Killing her would have been letting her off easy. Putting her back in the asylum was more punishment in his mind.
She’s just as evil as he is. Evil begets evil. She was gonna have him clipped and agreed to sell her soul for riches and a penthouse on his promise. This is all her own fault. Both can be true
Everyone thought Vic wasnt going to make it. When it actually happened, people were still shocked. If Collin Farrell doesn't win for best actor, its rigged.
It's crazy how he still lied to his mother with saying he didn't kill his brothers, this shows that he even believes his own lies
No he doesnt believe his lies, he literally knows that he's lying he just doesnt care.
Him keeping his immobilized, unable to speak mother alive just to hear his delusions is just icing on the shit cake that is Penguin.
However, Colin Farrel deserves a fucking Emmy because you could see the Narc Collapse happening while Sophia was exposing what a wretch he really is, and even his own mother always knew he is.
@@bboynava1812 He would rather his mother suffer more because of what he did rather than damage her view of him in any way, pure evil.
@@GabagoolGang Exactly, that's my point, all these people saying that he believes his own lies, that he showed his worst version, are failing to see that he always knew what he was doing, lying, and that his worst version is only his real version. I don't know if people are just naive or if it is very good writing lol
No it shows he doesn't give a fuck about anyone but himself.
Did anyone else notice that one of the last things Oz said to Vic "You are a good man Vic" mirrors back to the 3rd episode about Vic having doubts about the life and what his family would have thought of him
In the moments leading up to Vic’s death I was thinking about how Matt Reeves said we aren’t supposed to like Oz by the end of the series. Needless to say, Matt Reeves was right. Need Batman like now.
Were you liking him pre the Vic death?
He really wasn't kidding, in a way I so did not expect after so many years of bullshit drivel
@@greekyoungbuck he was never “likeable” but he was always charismatic! Charismatic people make you *want* to connect.
@@greekyoungbuckI was fully team Oz until he offed Vic personally. Hes the pure underdog who weasels his way out of every situation, its impossible not to like him or root for him, you're literally meant to
@@aleemizcool3654 I disagree he was obviously horrible with what he did to his brothers and showed no remorse for it. And he lied to his mom's grave and just in general showed delusion. Even the scene with his mom at the hospital although I felt bad for him because it was his mom I felt more bad for his mom. That opener in the club is where I realized what I think you realized which is this dude is horrible.
The Vic moment was definitely sad since I felt like his charcter peaked with putting the gun to Sofia’s head. But by the time we got outside I new it was up. Dude killed his brothers and showed no remorse which I think is the moment everyone realized what his character is.
With that being said knowing what I know now I'm still team OZ at least with this series because seeing a villan win is always a good time. Different feelings great show.
Someone once mentioned that this was also Vic’s origin to becoming Zsaz. The great thing about Gotham City is that the dead can come back to life.
Makes sense, maybe if he survives he will come back as the psycho he should be and his story will Oz will prove to him that nobody can like him and there is no one for him in this world so he will decide to just kill everyone, and Matt Reeves did say in The Batman 2 we might see alot of villains, so he might appear as a new version of himself in The Batman2, IF it is the Vic we all think about ofc
uh, no
Just finished about 5-10 minutes ago and man, did HBO and DC deliver!?! It's the best!!!
I really like how vic barely even stuttered at the end, like when he stood up to the gangs. It really shows how far he came in this world and how he grew his confidence. Im so devastated that he died like that and am now a #1 penguin hater. 10/10 show for me.
A letter from cat woman is crazy
Paul! Your assessment of Vic’s fate is what I had been thinking too. Thanks for the breakdown 👍
The minute I saw Oz crossing the street wearing a tuxedo and carrying a top hat I had a huge smile on my face. I just wish he at least wore it for a few minutes.😅 The look of the Building of the old Monroe building is looking more like a replacement for the Iceberg Lounge. Hell even the final shot of the batsignal in the background looked like something out of a batman comic. Just a great ending. 👌 This show only increases my excitement for The Batman Part II.
I am 100% on board if this is The Batman>The Penguin>2Bat2Man>Frozen>The Batman 3. Seems Catwoman will probably break Sophia out of Arkham.
I think Rush is being set up as the Mad Hatter later
@@breach005nigga said frozen lmfao

Selina’s letter to Sofia:
Smelly cat, smelllllly cat … it’s not your fault
Felt this deep!!
So,, yeah our dad was a yuuuuuuge dick right"
😂😂😂ahh f, landed on its feet
What are they feeding you?!
Perfect reference.
Vic was like "We're all thats left." and the Penguin was like "No its just me"
I felt my neck tighten just likes Vic’s in the moment 😢
"Sorry" no no no no NO NO NO NO alright I hope Batman batmans his batboots up your bat ass
Please Mr. Cobb I don’t wanna go
Kill the boy, become the man
@@jcabigting8036 Wait... HE DIDN'T SAID THIS, IT'S INFINITY WAR REFERENCE.
Awesome breakdown every week mate. was really good to get background and insight into the things i missed. was an excellent show and now im looking forward to the next batman movie!! thanks!!
That last shot was something lmao
It feels like a nod to Batman Returns which is perfect. Batsignal’s up, the end.
The real and only character all along was Gotham itself
And the really cool thing to me is like what is so drastic to use the bat signal now? All the gang wars didn’t, so what is so dire that now it’s being used? That intrigue has me so hyped for batman 2!
The consistency of this world is so tight between this show, the movie, and Paul Dano’s Riddler comic. The more you dig into the Renewal conspiracy, or just how much the actions of Carmine & Thomas Wayne created this entire web of characters, the more details you’ll find.
That was insane . It all tied together so good, top notch acting and writing.
Great series this is the first one ive watched week to week i usually wait till they all come out but that plus breakdowns had me ready for next episodes lol im pretty hyped where it all goes in batman 2 great show Paul
Penguin could’ve used Vic, if it wasn’t for Vic. He wouldn’t know the bounty was on his head. Screw Oz😢
Poor vic
Yes they didn’t have to do that. People aren’t black and white. Penguin was already a terrible and selfish person, I liked the idea of a terrible dude having at least one friend. Made it more interesting
@@masonlee5866thats the thing. He cant afford the liability of another familial target so that he could have the greatest asset as Sofia said (thinking his mom was dead)
If he sees himself in Vic then it makes sense. He doesn’t want Vic to do what he did to Sofia to him
@@ninanando if he is fine with killing him he can just let Vic die of natural causes/gotham. If he ends up in a situation where they use Vic against him he can just let them have him. I didn’t like it
I would definitely have to agree with your take. Great show. One of the best comic book series to ever drop. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I said it on the first episode that Oz always looks like a shark on the hunt but WOW when he finished Vic it was like an apex predator in blood lust
This show I think did an amazing job showing Oz work up from minnow to Megalodon, a villain worthy of not only Batman but Bruce Wayne too which is really fun. It seems the 2nd film will center around the power vacuum in the Broken City, now swallowed in the cold
His scowl is just so cool man, with the scarred up face. When hes holding Sofia at gunpoint he looked so cool. I was hoping so much he'd put on the tophat at the end
I cried wayyy too much during the finale. The true painful moments for me, with any scene with Francis needing to be taken into consideration, but Sofia getting sent back to Arkham and Victor’s death were possibly the two moments that broke me the most.
Beautiful acting, gorgeous cinematography, and fabulous writing. This show was seriously top-notch!!
Penguin a cold mofo I had a feeling he was going to kill Vic at the end when his mom was a vegetable this way he doesn't have a weakness his enemies can exploit nobody is that close to him
Thats exactly what i thought too she was the last part of his transformation to the true penguin but still suked to see vic die ir did he??🤨gonna be his arch enemy😂
100% on point for Penguin. Remember, he recruited Vic into a life of crime at gunpoint, later Vic reveals he feels hes being held hostage. Penguin gaslights him more into a father/son analog, and keeps doing that. Up to Vic's final minute, he bought Penguin's bullshit hook line and sinker, because as Oz's top hero Rex points out, men without families will latch on to scumbags like them for a purpose.
@@djsmileyoflasvegasyeah, Vic is definitely dead, he didn't just strangle him, there is a little "pop" before he let's him drop.
@@breach005i still don't think ir was that cut and dry though. Oz DID care about Vic, he meant a lot to him and that is precisely why he got rid of him, even when Vic left, Oz was genuinely hurt by it and when he is talking to Sophia he's riled up and emotional because his hurt carried into the next scene. Oz KNEW Vic made him too vulnerable...Farrel and the showrunner also allude to this heavily after the shpw wrapped up
What a hell of an episode! Vic hit hard tho, as soon as he said "family" to Oz, I knew he was screwed.
Colin Farell for a Grammy of this one 100%.
Why a Grammy?
He's an amazing musician
I think you mean Emmy. The Grammys are awards for music.
There was one moment he actually stuttered just like Vic does when truly nervous, blink and you'll miss it, while begging for his Mothers life. The Emmy should be for that alone, wow. And that is in an embarrassment of great performances
@@taylorrqt😂😂😂
I appreciate that you’re supporting non biased media!
I knew Vic was gonna die I just didn’t want to accept it. Oz is a sociopath forreal
No one see it coming from oz
More like psychopath. Oz far from antisocial to be a sociopath
Even though it was like 100% certainty. Watching Penguin off him like that is so cruel. Looking forward to Batman sending this dick head to see Sophia at Arkham lol
Honestly I thought he was going to become victor Zsasz
@@BigAl455
Indeed. Those other crime bosses were killed by trusted lieutenants they let their guard down around. Oz knew he could never risk having
someone he could ever trust to have his back,because that's the guy who could potentially turn on him. I f you never trust anybody,nobody can
betray you.
This season was amazing and you guys did an amazing job covering it! Watching The Penguin and then Heavy Spoilers has been the highlight of my Sunday night these past few weeks. Thanks for all of the work and love that put into these videos. This is always my #1 spot, especially when it comes to all things DC. Keep up the great work!☮️
I'm actually glad Batman did not show up it would have taken from the story but the bat signal was a perfect touch. And Sophia was absolutely gorgeous in that dress in the beginning. She deserves an Emmy for that acting as well💯
Now we must root for Batman and against Oz. Plain & Simple
Me too.
"Durr I just want to see de batmorn" sorry James Gunn's brainless Batman is over there if you want it --->, I want this. Nuanced, well told, badass Batman without weirdass aliens or some shit, sounds god damned great. Most shocking thing about The Batman was: he was actually a detective lol
I wouldn’t have minded a brief cameo, but definitely glad he wasn’t a major part of the series.
@@breach005God forbid a studio head embrace every aspect of the comics. Gunn himself has stated that each DCU project will have its own tone.
She deserves an Emmy for several of those dresses. And those EYES!!
The Big Pun.....Pun🤷🏾♂️😅 cracks me up everytime!!!!!😂😂😂😂
This show as a masterpiece, at one point I forgot about Batman, this is the angle and way they should keep dc dark realistic and gritty
We want more character shows
Masterpiece, best Comic reinaction i have ever seen, been consumed by it last couple weeks, never showed an interest in the Gotham universe until this.
I completely forgot about the Batman this episode but that ending scene with the signal got me so hyped
Spot on! I didn’t think about Batman at all throughout the show. It was so good!
At the end when he killed Vic was I had to be reminded that Oz is not a good guy.
I...Uh..yeah just all the spin offs sounds good. If all The Batman universe is set up like this im on board
DC shouldn’t be completely realistic and gritty. While certain aspects of the universe can benefit from that tone, I’m glad James Gunn is going for a more fantastical DC universe that fully embraces every aspect of the comics. The last thing we need is another dark and gritty Superman film, for example. DC is more than just Batman and Gotham City and even those have fantastical elements that should be explored.
Hearing you spit Big Bun lyrics was the best part of any TH-cam video EVER!
Best comic book show of all time
No doubt about it, it’s a masterpiece
I agree!
Honestly man, this shows how sick in the head the penguin really is
Totally agree, I never thought there will be a comic book show that can top daredevil but this did it phenomenally.
One of the best tv shows
My favorite show in a long time. Shogun was amazing as well but The Penguin takes the cake here
That episode hit hard! They really stuck the landing. And Vic’s death was one of those things that you thought might come, but still kicked your ass when it happened. And thank you Heavy Spoilers for another fantastic breakdown
This show is ultimately about not becoming a naive dumbass. Sorry, but Vic was a naive dumbass (tragically pushed into a life of crime ya yah he's dead). However, that is perfectly what Rex was talking about when recruiting.
@@breach005I mean yeah but people are still able to sympathise with the character. The two can co-exist
I like to think they made us all hate Oz so that in The Batman 2 we can get some satifying scene of him getting beat up badly by Bruce
I was kind of cheering for him. Then he goes and kills Vic!!! Now I'm back to hating him!! Such a great show
Masterclass in writing. Oz is a deplorable murderer and drug kingpin, but legit fights for Crown Point too. This is very much modeled after Alphonse Capone which was very much part of this thing as a man of his neighborhood while committing crime elsewher. Cobb is extremely charismatic, a way to make up for his deformities otherwise, but uses this to gaslight and manipulate you too. He even gaslight his own mother to his murders.
You can see maybe Oz in another life would have been Batman too.
Amazing video Paul!!!!
I hope Oz killing Vic and leaving Sofia alive is what leads to his downfall.
Is Vic really dead?
Yup.. of he killed of Sofia too I'd respect him as villain or kept Vic alive.. lol
@@N.N.O.U. him killing Vic makes him a good villain and taking Sophia back to Arkham is worse than killing her
@@AmandaFromWisconsinhe better damn well not be but I’m more upset of the needless death of their partnership. When Vic came back with the car I was so happy.
@@AmandaFromWisconsinyou didn't hear his neck snap. I was screaming at the TV "just go limp dude, just go limp, let him think he strangled you to death, but he struggled and penguin gave a little twist and "pop!"
He killed vic but lets not forget he is the penguin
He did say in the first episode ''I guess i can let you live.. for now'' something like that
That Big Pun reference at 23:14? Muah chefs kiss my friend chefs kiss!!

i was smiling so hard after seeing the bat signal
Me too. I knew right from episode 7 after the bomb a batman signal was going to appear. It's the only way the show could tie into the next batman movie 🍿
Unbelievably great show. Great writing and great acting. And after every episode was hitting this channel. 👍
The penguin was brutal in the end. Oz died when he murdered Vic.
Oz already died when he murdered his brother
shoutout to one of the dopest double time bars ever put to record.
also, i don't like batman or superhero stuff at all but i really really liked the penguin. super interesting, grounded, and human take on what's usually a ridiculous campy comic book supervillain. this series was awesome on pretty much all fronts, which is really saying something for a show about a silly character like the penguin.
As soon as I felt the relief like "they're out of the shit, they made it together" then I hear that resolution music and I was like "oh no this isn't going to end well is it"
Man, this Vic guy isn't in any comic. I sure hope nothing bad happens to him!
@ literally😭
I like the attention to detail in this series from the Penguin driving a purple Maserati with his fast life to a purple Bentley being more sophisticated aiming to get into politics.
What Oz did to Vic is like what Tony did to Chris. Such a parallel to the Sopranos
Similar but very different imo. I think its cool to see the differences in their characters and their reasons for making that choice
@@aleemizcool3654 Nah it's pretty much the same thing. Tony killed Chris because he was going to hold him back and Oswald killed Vic because he was going to hold him back.
@@ThwipThwipBoom but Tony killed Chris because Chrissy was a fuck-up and unreliable druggie. Vic was nothing but loyal to Oz. They managed to make an even darker version of Tony Soprano, thta's something
@@ThwipThwipBoomChris was proven to be unreliable and he could’ve gotten Tony killed or in jail, him crashing the care was the final straw
In this case Vic was just saying how he views Oz like family
also made me think of the end of S1 of The Wire
Earth One Batman is so good, I loved seeing the refeneces to it in The Batman and this show- a masterclass on respecting the source material despite tinkering with some of the elements
I don’t know how to explain it but the way Collin’s eyes changed during the final scene with vic was confirmation to me that he was gonna get rid of him.
I am glad they made The Penguin a pure evil cold-blooded monster that will rip off his own friends, mom and anyone just to be the #1 Kingpin of Gotham City! He is worst than Scarface and Tony Soprano!
I absolutely loved this show, Colin Farrell definitely deserves an award! Crushed it. Also loved following the breakdowns!
I might go to far saying this but his performance as The Penguin is as good as Heath Ledger as the Joker, they are both unroconisable
Yoooooo the Big Pun bars literally had me spit my coffee out laughing!! This is prime entertainment right here! Cheers!
Also don’t forget that oz lied to Vic about who stabbed him. He says Sophia, not his mom. Kind of insinuating that oz genuinely either is in shock, or just can’t see his mom that way
He didnt accept the reality
@ and about the him killing his brothers thing being an accident. I kinda figured it was because in that same episode we can see that he looks back and the door several times, insinuating that he expected his brothers to come back at some point
he wouldn’t want to expose that his mom knew something was up with him
This ep only proves everything, and everyone, are just wood for Oz's fireplace. It always was, he's an evil POS and always has been since 10 years old. Last few scenes really make me hope Batman heelchecks that fat nose
He just refuses to believe his mom hates him and tried to kill him
Great job on The Batman restraint. Also nice Big Pun lyrics 👍🏾
This show was to comic book-related movies as Andor was to Star Wars. It really elevated a silly concept and character to a higher dramatic level. One of the best shows in recent memory.
I knew it. The instant he said, "You're like family," I fucking knew it was over😔 I know that Oz is not a good person but I was hoping he would give him a chance
Dawgs major props for that Big Pun reference 😮
Can’t believe how early I am to your video. This was a crazy episode 💔
You have earned my FOREVER subscription for the Big Pun reference! You’re a champ in my book! I needed that today!
What Francine said about Oz "I brought the devil into my house..." that was a gut-wrenching and for her she realized her son was gone and their was no saving for him. It reminds me of the movie "The Good Son" starring Macaulay Culkin with Oswald Cobblepot where he is literally a monster and just progressed in being a bad person, becoming the full fledged criminal. Then having Eve Karlo dress up like his mom and telling her to tell him he is a winner says he is far gone and no turning back.
Its hard for me as a single man now more less to imagine "sorry, your child is the most serious POS that ever existed" and being forced to go along with it basically.
I honestly like that they portraited Penguin as small with big nose and gave him his biggest signature, his sofisticated umbrellas. This show is so true to its origins! Wau
Great coverage on this show man
I think the biggest foreshadowing for vics death was Oz’s mom saying that vic reminded her of jack. Fr ended up like oz’s brothers, killed by his hand
RIP VIC 😢
That Big Pun line had me dying 😂
After watching this episode, I am curious if Sofia hired IGN to give the show a 5/10!!! 😤
23:13 bars of fire 🔥 😂
