What makes the Sofia character good, is just the fact that. "hey, look at this person go through horrible shit, and come out on top!" She isn't buildt from the getgo to be "above the rest". Which so many shows and movies just get so wrong. Same in Daredevil, here is a person getting beat the fuck up in every fight scene, but he overcomes. Writers and directors seem to have cooompletly forgotten that hero-stories are a psykological expression of overcoming struggles. much like a great horror film or show is a good psykological expression of our fears and inner darkness. Some one stated that Oz is not a anti-hero, and you're not suppose to like him. But on the other hand, Sofia is scaaaaary, as she is unpredictable in another way to penguin. The show is in that way, very unpredictable and makes you think "what the f is gonna happen next?" my 5 to 10 cents! Great video!
Also Sofia is made to be completely innocent, she was going to be head of the family until she spoke to the reporter. She was still bad, but at the same time she was completely innocent of those crimes and didn’t understand why the family would rat her out like that.
I’ve never really been a huge DC or Batman fan but man this Penguin series is solid. I’m really enjoying watching weekly episodes too, not done that in a few years, it helps each episode sink in more, allowing time for discussions and theories. After Ep 4 I’m now having to watch first 3 again, knowing what we know now, perceptions towards Sofia are not what I had first thought.
I mean if you predicted Sofia wasn’t the hangman on your own from The Penguin that’s fine, but we already knew she wasn’t the hangman because of what happens in The Batman
I think Sofia dies by the end of the miniseries but not before giving Oz the biggest fight of his entire life and to the Penguin she will always be remembered as the only worthy adversary he ever had.
I feel you on Smallville. I barely missed an episode for 10 years. It has its ups and downs but I still always looked forward to it. And Lana Lang, she was just on another level. Gosh Damn... lol
I like what they're doing wth Sal Maroni. Him being more of a father figure to Sophia than Carmine is not something I expected they're so endearing. Also, I don't think them not making Sphia the Hangman in the show was about her being a woman. If you remember back in the Batman, Falcone was shown to strangle women. He strangled that one prositiute, and he also tried to strangle Catwoman, his daughter. I don't think that decision came outta nowhere lol.
Hit the nail on the head, I still have the same fears you have about the last 4 episodes but if the show continues with this quality we should be eating well.
BTW guys, Isn't this limited series setting up the rise of The Court of Owls? Vitti and a bunch of rich tycoons makes Penguin their public face. Then they frame Sofia and send her back to Arkham, until Batman gets wind of it? Then Metas and assassins get hired to take him out, but he eventually exposes them anyway? This is where Huntress, Deathstroke, Joker etc comes in? What story line am I thinking of, if I'm wrong?
@@SoulTrainBro not sure if it will follow that story directly but i do think this will lead into Batman 2 (which i think is most likely court of owls) and i do think sofia gets sent back to Arkham at the end of the show.
Personally I'm a Gotham lover since its the closest to a full live action batman tv show. However i will be honest im surprised the cw didn't die sooner but Matt reeves is cooking with his batman universe im sure he'll keep giving us banger after banger.
@@ketienne1021 no, I said that I'm SURE he'll give us banger after banger not that it's guaranteed but mean Reeves can fall off eventually. However He is a good director who knows what he's doing so far so I'm sure he'll keep his universe in check.
Dude, spoilers alerts! Not all of us have your deep knowledge of extremely obscure Batman comics written by exceptionally underrated & unknown authors like Jeff Loeb. By the way, I know that you already know this, and that you simply wrote too fast, but Sophia was the Hangman in *Batman: Dark Victory* , not in *Batman: The Long Halloween* ... The show *Gotham* had already paid hommage to that situation in season 4, in which Sofia Falcone was played by Crystal Reed, ended up in a wheelchair with a metallic neck-supporter-thingy that looks like a medieval torture device.
@@Christo_Trismegistus - Calling *The Long Halloween* "extremely obscure" and Jeph Loeb "exceptionally underrated & unknown" didn't clue you in to the fact that I was joking? I'll add more "/s" & "😂😂😂" for the sarcastically challenged next time.
Man your videos wzs so nice it feel like i know you for a long times and a just discover you , the mask , the personality that you have the way you talk its really fun to watch hopes you grow a comlunity
I love how the show never address the fact that she is insanely hot, just portray her as crazy and scary, so it almost feels like a personal secret that she’s hot even though everyone’s thinking the same thing.
18:55 I actually don’t mind not seeing homelander, I get tired of his screen time sometimes bc I think he should have been killed in the end of season 3 to introduce a new villain.
I would be more worried about David Zaslav and other executives at HBO max destroying the franchise. Look what they did to House of the Dragon (season 2). And that was their biggest show
I wish I were as hopeful about where they're taking the story. All signs are pointing to a replacement job, almost too overtly, with Sophia as Gotham's top villain and Penguin either dead or groveling at her feet, which would be TRAGIC.
9:56 I honestly never minded her ending up with Lex as that happened in the Superman TAS cartoon back in the day lol. Her having ties to a witch was....odd but Lana ended up getting powers in the comics so my guess is the writers were trying their best to incorporate as many elements from other versions as possible. After Season 3 the whole show tanked imo and is when Lana fell off as a character.
So true bro. I love DD, and season three is pure gold, but the penguin is cooking hard. I would say DD is best hero serie, and The Penguin is best villian serie.
I was just saying this yesterday how movies and series today have no character development, it’s all situational plot points, where the characters are rough outlines at best, some delve a little bit deeper but nothing like how it once was however with The Penguin they’ve done a phenomenal job at character development. You understand where each character is coming from, you have an idea of what they’re going to do which makes the twists and turns all the more intense. It is the best series by far in the past year, at least the best series in recent memory. There’s a few others that were really good but did not have the depth of character builds like The Penguin. So far I’d give The Penguin a 9/10 to 9.5/10 which for me is insane. A great series for me gets a peak of 8.5-9. So anything that gets me this excited is a rarity. The only series I can think of that had as good as characters in recent memory would maybe be Devs. I’m sure there’s others but still not with that type of character development.
Enjoyed your video 👍I also love 'The Penguin'. I can't get enough of it. Colin is killin it as The Penguin, great cast period. I like how we're getting to see the rise of Oswald 'Oz' Cobb as the legend of Gotham City Villainy in one hell of a TV series. Colin Farrell should be a shoe in for an Emmy in 2025 and I betting that he WILL be receiving an Emmy for the role.
If you condensed this story, put another well established gangster leaning Batman villain in it and put Batman himself in it, youd have had the perfect The Batman 2. This is ok, an entertaining mob story. But not truly great. Its also jarring to have no Batman while there's a major mob war going on
Just imagine, the kid continues going deeper and deeper in the underworld helping Oswald and trying to prove himself, we know that in Gotham you just need a really bad day to snap...
this show is so fucking good and the world building is just setting up so well for the Batman 2...Matt Reeves is a genius. I think Black Mask and the GOATED Red Hood would fit in really well in this universe.
🎯💯✅ You are spot on. I didn’t believe that she was the hangman because I couldn’t figure out how a 5’5” 120 pound female could overpower another woman and then string that woman up. What is she, a black belt 🥋 in jui-jitsu?? The math don’t math. Sophia and Francis Cobb are well developed believable female characters. I think this because the writers aren’t full on making them woke female archetypes.
You missed one dc show which is just one of the best ones if not the best.. the penguin aint done to confirm but i enjoyed so much more - Doom Patrol. The season 1 is some of the greatest television i have seen. I cant comment on 2 & 3 cause i never finished them.
I listened to the podcast for Penguin episode 4 and it seems like the writers of this episode come from a feminist background and wrote it from that point of view; But thankfully they didn't forget the storytelling basics, and the character has flaws; not to mention the actress elevates the character A LOT. She's perfect for the role
TBH haven’t gotten to The Penguin yet but will ASAP-It’s a Must for Sure. But what happened to Ur P. Roster: No Burgess Meredith Z-Man ? Haha Nonetheless it was another Classic Vid by U man !
Okay, essay incoming, but this is serious bizness, can't let that slide! 1) Aww mate it's a shame that you listed the bottom o' the barrel DC shows like Supergirl, Batwoman, Gotham Knights, later seasons of The Flash, etc etc to explain why it's all crap, but not even mention actual quality shows like Stargirl, Doom Patrol, Swamp Thing, Constantine, The Sandman, Dead Boy Detectives [same universe as Sandman], Watchmen.... and arguably middle-o'-the-barrel show like Krypton or Black Lightning. 2) Och mate time to let the ol' *Arrow be stealing Batman villains jobs* , -season 1's Big Bads were The Dark Archer in the present & Edward Fyers in the flashback (pure, dyed in the whool Green Arrow villains) -season 2's big bads were Deathstroke, Brother Blood, Ravager in the present (all 3 of them Titans villains) and in the flashback, Professor Ivo (JLA rogue, last seen on TV in the great *My Adventures with Superman* ) -season 3's Big Bads, alright, when it comes to the present, I have no choice but to give you that one, Ra's Al Ghul is indeed a Batrogue. 😩 Buuut when it comes to the flashback, the main villain is Matthew Shrieve from the *Creature Commandos* -season 4's Big Bads, imma feel mighty cocky 'ere since in the present, HIVE is not an organisation known for taking on Batman, and in the past, Baron Reiter aka Baron Blitzkrieg started of mainly as a Wonder Woman rogue and later became a All-Star Squadron staple. -season 5's big bads, Prometheus is a Justice League villain, though if we want to pinpoint which heroes he tends to target the most, then Midnighter and Green Arrow would probably be it. And in the past, the main baddie is Konstantin Kover, aka Red Star, a Teen Titans dude. When it comes to live action, we last saw him in the show *Titans* - season 6: the main Big Bad is notorious Green Arrow nemesis, Ricardo "Dragon" Diaz. - season 7: ach, this one serves my purpose well! The Big Bads are, at the beginning, the Longbow Hunters (a group of villains who specifically target Oliver Queen) and later *The Ninth Circle* led by GA villain Dante & Emiko. -season 8 is a bit of a special case innit? One thing is for sure, the Anti-Monitor ain't exactly a "Bat-rogue" 3) When it comes to the show *Gotham* (love me some *Gotham* , it waddled so *The Penguin* could waddle faster) I'd have to create another post just to contain all my unhinged ranblings, this one [Debunking t] is already long enough
We have the DC series being really bad after the first few seasons, and we have the HBO shows like GOT or HOTD become really bad after a few seasons... We are in danger
I always wonder why people dont know that The Boys used to be a DC property but they ended with Ennis going to Dynamite. Preacher is a very solid DC show on AMC. Y: The Last Man was terrible even tho it is a FX show. Swamp Thing is underrated asf. Watchmen is good aswell and Pennyworth and Doom Patrol lost its vision. The Penguin is a limited series and theres no continuation planned.
I AM BE REAL, and this isn’t cause i am a D1 Simp for Sofia. I think Penguin losing might be interesting or at least like stalemate. Like it would be wild if sofia won with 0 effort, like Oz didn’t give her a bang for her. I am be real i think it can work, I think her winning can work or at most a stalemate. However, lets be real for a fact i think she gonna be shot in the head or she goes back to Arkham. Or a cool ending might be thattheir fight didn’t end and they are still fighting it out leaving Gotham in a “no mans land”. However, I think i might be simping (but u can’t blame me)
Chicks start sleeping with the right ppl and things that make no sense start happening. Like this country, feminism started sleeping with the right ppl and stopped waging war on hot chicks and men at the same time.
Maybe a cameo, but no this should be mainly about the penguin and his story, if you want more Batman wait for the next movie, because this show isn’t about him
Unless they drop the ball hard, to me, penguin aready has second spot in super hero show. BTW to me Jessica Jones is better than Peacemaker, just saying
All the comics are cornball stuff and eventually made for kids. I dont know what fans expect. Your not getting consistency with inconsistent source material. DC and Marvel have always been up and down with stories art and direction. People are way too critical of these comic shows. When shows get goofy I stop watching. Stop forcing stuff on yourself just because you like the comic.
Titans wasn't a CW show, but... How can you possibly list off the DC shows in the last 10+ years and NOT mention Doom Patrol, Swamp Thing, or Stargirl? If Stargirl wasn't for you, that's fine. But ignoring Swamp Thing and Doom Patrol? And don't even get me started on Krypton.
How can you watch the boys and not care about kimiko and frenchie the show is THE BOYS not the homelander and butcher show if your not watching for The Boys don’t watch at all same thing with moon knight it didn’t have one bad episode but people only tune in for the transformation and fights but not the fleshed out story we need absorb shows as a whole rather than take bits and pieces and throw the rest out
Sofia is a great character and I definitely think it would be best that she ended up beating Oz in the end. Oz almost seems like he’s the real antagonist of the show. He does terrible things. Also, sofia could end up working with the court of owls in the end.
"People say they want to fix her? I don't want to fix her, she's perfect!" So fucking true😭😭

-season 8 is a bit of a special case innit? One thing is for sure, the Anti-Monitor ain't exactly a "Bat-rogue"
3) When it comes to the show *Gotham* (love me some *Gotham* , it waddled so *The Penguin* could waddle faster) I'd have to create another post just to contain all my unhinged ranblings, this one [Debunking t] is already long enough
It’s a CW/writing problem not a woman problem
We have the DC series being really bad after the first few seasons, and we have the HBO shows like GOT or HOTD become really bad after a few seasons... We are in danger
The Penguin is so far better than any dc movies the dept of character building is fabulous imagine series of joker from same director 🎉
Yo when u said u still "enjoyed" Smallville even when it sucked, I knew it was the girl 😂. That chick picked up where Jennifer Love Hewitt left off.
Really don’t need these clickbaity thumbnails and titles man
I always wonder why people dont know that The Boys used to be a DC property but they ended with Ennis going to Dynamite.
Preacher is a very solid DC show on AMC. Y: The Last Man was terrible even tho it is a FX show. Swamp Thing is underrated asf. Watchmen is good aswell and Pennyworth and Doom Patrol lost its vision. The Penguin is a limited series and theres no continuation planned.
Smallville was good for its time. I mean, it lasted for 10 seasons for a reason.
Yeah agree with the arrowverse it went down hill for me half way during late 2018 to early 2019
I am watching this guy going mad

I AM BE REAL, and this isn’t cause i am a D1 Simp for Sofia. I think Penguin losing might be interesting or at least like stalemate. Like it would be wild if sofia won with 0 effort, like Oz didn’t give her a bang for her. I am be real i think it can work, I think her winning can work or at most a stalemate. However, lets be real for a fact i think she gonna be shot in the head or she goes back to Arkham. Or a cool ending might be thattheir fight didn’t end and they are still fighting it out leaving Gotham in a “no mans land”. However, I think i might be simping (but u can’t blame me)
@@leotheleo8967 i def cannot blame u
Chicks start sleeping with the right ppl and things that make no sense start happening. Like this country, feminism started sleeping with the right ppl and stopped waging war on hot chicks and men at the same time.
Gotham was like watching a modern Adam West Batman series.
Half the audience will be disappointed if there's no Batman or at least Bruce Wayne.
Batman is my fav hero but nah we dont need him in this
Maybe a cameo, but no this should be mainly about the penguin and his story, if you want more Batman wait for the next movie, because this show isn’t about him
@imsentinelprime9279 Nah it's Gotham all over again
@@My-YT-profile but this is actually good tho, don’t get your panties in a twist, this will tie in with Batman, just enjoy the fcking show.
@imsentinelprime9279 No, we're divorced now jfjdheje I do like the show. I just think it's even better with batman
Lana was for the streets 😂
Unless they drop the ball hard, to me, penguin aready has second spot in super hero show. BTW to me Jessica Jones is better than Peacemaker, just saying
Your Mask Is pretty Cool
thanks man
WB and CW ruined DC characters for years now but The Penguin is a great show
Valid fear.
Sees a guy in the ds mask. I click like.
All the comics are cornball stuff and eventually made for kids. I dont know what fans expect. Your not getting consistency with inconsistent source material. DC and Marvel have always been up and down with stories art and direction. People are way too critical of these comic shows. When shows get goofy I stop watching. Stop forcing stuff on yourself just because you like the comic.
The penguin is an hbo show not cw show

Titans wasn't a CW show, but... How can you possibly list off the DC shows in the last 10+ years and NOT mention Doom Patrol, Swamp Thing, or Stargirl? If Stargirl wasn't for you, that's fine. But ignoring Swamp Thing and Doom Patrol? And don't even get me started on Krypton.
How can you watch the boys and not care about kimiko and frenchie the show is THE BOYS not the homelander and butcher show if your not watching for The Boys don’t watch at all same thing with moon knight it didn’t have one bad episode but people only tune in for the transformation and fights but not the fleshed out story we need absorb shows as a whole rather than take bits and pieces and throw the rest out
The scary thing is that some people literally only want to watch Homelander and Butcher. Maybe Soldier Boy, too. But that’s it.
I can’t stand CW shows for that reason alone the soap opera feel
bro has ptsd about cw, like its being worked on by the same people lmao
@@Nevermindsir1 yes i do
Sofia is a great character and I definitely think it would be best that she ended up beating Oz in the end. Oz almost seems like he’s the real antagonist of the show. He does terrible things. Also, sofia could end up working with the court of owls in the end.
Honestly this is one of the worst ideas I've ever heard
Dc has always dominated TV series over Marvel. TV and animation is they GOLD!
@@Hollowedmoonproductions dc animation is top tier
episode 5 ruined it.... it was terrible
One episode can’t ruin an entire series.
Terrible how?

There's nothing wrong in calling something that is woke, woke.
Giving agency to female or non-white characters = woke
Define "woke"

People need to relax my boy Matt Reeves is cooking. Matt Reeves is embarrassing Marvel right now. Let the man cook.
@@callmejacob3234 His name sounds like it’s out of the comics. Just my opinion.
@@ibnsabeel9466 Not gonna lie he does sound like a comic book character. Even more reason to let the man cook.
They've already ruined Sofia's character. They had a brilliant antagonist, and threw it away to make her a typical feminist victim.
No they didn't, time for you to go outside for some fresh air 😂.
incel alert
😵💫
Not necessarily. Tragic backstories make both villains and heroes more interesting and appealing imo
No way you are a real person😭
