I mean. How often have we all disagreed with a Roger Ebert review? He hated a lot of the movies many of us think of as classics now. Sometimes you hate a thing everyone else loves. That said, IGN is a faceless gestalt entity that feeds on ad money. Their reviews have become a joke. Stick to individual critics whose opinions you trust.
@heavysetmedia1904 unfortunately they're still one of the biggest reviewers I think, probably because of sheer quantity since they review anything and everything. @BSRJR I think that's their main problem, they have no accountability and no real "taste" in the way you don't know if the random reviewer they chose even likes the genre they're reviewing
What I enjoyed the most about this show was that I never really had any trepidation or hesitancy to get excited for it because I also thought The Batman was phenomenal. It's rare to go into a tv show from a comic book franchise and be able to just sit down and enjoy it without worrying about whether it will let you down or no (cite every marvel show, regardless of how good or bad it ended up being I always went into them with a certain level of hesitancy). I knew that Farrel's Penguin would be a fun watch and he wouldn't sign his name up to something that was going to be ultimately trash. I do however pray they don't do a season 2, it doesn't need it. Bring on Edward Cullens The Batman 2!
Psychopathy can be present in children at early stages in their childhood. There’s a case involving a boy of 10, in Atlanta if I’m correct, deleting his mom because she wouldn’t let him play video games. He shot her with her own gun and then hooked up his PlayStation. It came out that she had problems finding baby sitters for him even from her own family. The Lead Attorney covered in a video on his channel. ✍️Edit: For this reason ⬆️, I don’t make any excuses for Oswald Cobb. He’s always been the way he is. He lost no sleep over deleting his brothers.
I dunno if calling something “The best comic book show” is fair when it basically has all the comic book taken out of it. It’s be like making a show about a Romanian guy with a blood disease who comes to London to do a shady land deal and steal someone’s wife, calling it Dracula and the saying “it’s the best vampire show” Taking absolutely nothing away from the quality of Penguin. I’m willing to admit how good it is. But I feel like it’s somewhat disingenuous to hold something up as the best version of a genre when it’s willingly discarded the vast majority of the ingredients of that genre. This is a crime show. Is it the best crime show? Maybe.
Yeah this is a very fair point, however I just interpret their use of the term 'comic book show' as meaning the subject matter and stimulus for the show is from the DC franchise rather than them meaning it as the genre of the show if that makes sense?
Thought it was average tbh - although not a massive comic book fan so I can understand why others would have enjoyed it more. just felt like it was taking itself far too seriously to be considered fun but was also too silly to really be taken seriously - also too many episodes imo. We didn't need all those flashbacks but because it's a show that's unsure whether it is serious or not it still needs to spell everything out to the audience.
"Unsure if it's serious" is hilarious to me. What comedy beats could you even reference if there were any? I never really laughed at any point personally. And it is barely a comic book show. Nothing in it is unrealistic or grandiose to the extreme. I guess the idea that it borrows from source material outside of your wheelhouse was a turn off for you. The only thing I got from this that was comic accurate was the way the mc is a scumbag.
@@whenallelsfails21 It's called the penguin about the penguin lol set in Gotham City - the whole Arkham/gangster plot is quite forced/stupid compared to say anything that's actually taken seriously. like it's batman world - make it fun instead of this pretty predictable gangster show which won't ever be taken seriously because it's characters are all so stupid/unrealistic (not a bad thing but the idea I need to understand the psychological/social political reasons for why the penguin is the way he is just ridiculous/very forced/cringe). Overall I think it's an alright show but very overrated. You don't need an 8 episode series explaining why the penguin is a bad guy lol. just make another batman ffs
Who cares what one reviewer thinks at IGN? Because this review was from one person, not the entire staff at IGN. Their reviews aren't done by consensus. I know that's not what these grifter channels want to hear, but it's true.
You're misunderstanding Publisher vs Platform. That's like saying "HBO isn't responsible for The Penguin because it wasn't made by everyone at HBO" Our review of Penguin is indicative of our channel's views on Penguin even though not every member was in the video. IGN is a publisher and they only release one review per piece of media so that review represents the company. TH-cam or Rotten Tomatoes is a platform so individuals reviews of The Penguin on said platform don't represent the thoughts of the platform as a whole.
@@burgunbeerd Then why report who wrote the review? Why differentiate who wrote the review and who narrated it? Do the positive reviews of seperate episodes count?
@@minbari73 when you screenshot the review score and text the by-line is right there and it's respectful not to remove the credit of someone that wrote it. Same reason it's there for the individual reviews. And the differentiation between the writers is also brought up in the video where we discuss that it's different people that write the reviews and call into question the fact they operate with their weird review structure
Do you think IGN purposely rates things wrong to get clicks? Or are they just genuinely incompetent?
Oh and don't forget to subsribe!
who listens to them any more? its been ages since ive looked or cared what IGN thinks.

I loved it! Easily the best show I've seen in a long time!

pretty sure these boys being from the UK, they know about psychopathy in young children. Look up the murder of James Bulger. Absolutely terrible.
You're back!
Glad you guys are back!
IGN also reviewed SW Outlaws positively.
