A series that stars a comic book villain who actually acts like a villain, meaning the audience feels bad for rooting for them by the end? What a novel concept.
Yeah the NY accent still exists. but that 'desoyve' aspect of it is long gone for generations. I find it funny they just toss that in there for only a handful of characters but the rest of them just have normal NY/NJ Italian American accents.
@@taargustaargus3139 NYC accents are a trip. My first day in Manhattan I walked from Sugar Hill through Hamilton/Harlem/Central Park to MoMA, then day 2 I started there and kept going south through HK/Chelsea/West Village.

Not quite. This show really does a disservice to the original Penguin. He's supposed to be grotesque on the outside rather than the inside, and at least a little likable.
I was honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed The Penguin. It was gripping from nearly start to finish. The performances for Oswald and Sofia truly stood out.
Sofia was a boring one tone caracther. The Crasy Woman Trope. Imagine a world were we had Villains that are just people rather then cartoon monologing villains....

I thought It would happen sooner. When they move to the old neighborhood apartment and Vic starts to get close to Oz´s mom. Oz wasn´t loving any of that lol

When the writers know how to use him, he's one of my favorite villains. Sadly, otherwise good writers like Paul Dini just can't wrap their minds around him. You have to write Penguin like Richard III.
Oedipus means "swollen foot." This show does remind me a lot of the Marlo story from The Wire. Oswald is basically Marlo, the ruthless gangster who doesn't play by any of the old rules and goes around killing and causing chaos indiscriminately.
Imagine being named after an injury/disability and yet having your name go on to become far more recognizably synonymous with something even *more* embarrassing that happened to you.
@@molemanninethousand While not an injury, the name Caligula was originally an affectionate nickname given to the Roman emperor (born Gaius Julius Caesar) when he was a child, the name meaning "little boot" in Latin. The name Caligula would then go on to become a synonym for depravity & madness because of the emperor's infamous antics.
I have trust in Matt Reeves. He's done a fantastic job world building in Planet of the apes. He's quietly building a great Batverse. Hope it establishes a Batman Beyond somewhere down the pipeline
I agree we should let him cook on The Joker, yes the movie sucks but there is another Joker at the end, Matt is a genius and so if anyone can find a new take on The Clown Prince of Crime its him.
My god, i hate that name. Cobblepot just sounds stupid. Especially since he is not British or pretending to be British in this show. Just because it was the name in the comics, doesn't make it any less stupid. I'm glad they changed it.
The "deserve". I caught it too. I gotta ask New Yorkers, is that a nde york accent or a Gotham accent? And the driver boy? I dont feel sorry for him. He gave up leaving town with a beautiful girl to work for a killer. The penguin let him go but he came back! STUPID! 😢
I'm really liking the approach to worldbuilding they're taking with this version of Gotham. It feels like a return to form after the Batfleck movies (that largely stayed out of Gotham's local stuff to focus on the Justice League plot). It's giving me the same kind of feeling that Nolan's Batman Begins did back when it first hit theaters. Like the comics are coming to life in the real (sort of) world.
I will never forget this two kids when we saw Ironman cheering at the ‘after credits’ while the whole theater is quiet and then one of them saying out loud, “ one day they will all cheer”
@@molemanninethousand I admit, it started slow and silly, but after 3 or 4 episodes it became quite compelling. Episode 7 especially, that was some very clever writing.
4:55 For Shohreh Aghdashloo, that’s just her natural Persian accent. God, I hate how The Expanse never covered the last 3 books! You can never have too much of Avasarala.
My main nitpicky complaint (slight spoiler, but this HT video is full of much bigger ones) is that when zooming in on Victor's driver's license it shows that Gotham is in New Jersey rather than New York since the decision to declare Gotham in New Jersey has only been a recent one.
