The Penguin Ep 4

justice for Sofia

Comments

Thank you Mollywopper. You said it better than I ever could.

Derrick

you acting like he sending innocent lil angels to this place lmao

killilu

In Derrick's defense you said it yourself. Their job is to react. In order to react to something you have to let it happen first. Never bothered me but I get how someone constantly talking over the show and being wrong can get annoying.

Mollywopper

Dude was too busy filming severance S2

PJ Rivera

I didn't think it was possible but I love Sofia even more now Dr shades got the right idea I'd be down bad for Sofia and crashing out right with her. I liked magpie too her actress killed it I kinda wanted them to grow to be actual friends.

Leo

this nigga named derrick 😂😂😂😂😂 sybau

JotaroDrake

I wish carmine’s actor stayed the same lol

JotaroDrake

Never understood this complaint, gang their job is literally to react and voice their opinions. No one would be watching this if they just silently sat on the couch until the twist happened

Phroug

oh shit in this verse sophia kills Magpie daaaaaamn

Trey

Make tons of money, knows everyones plays boss included, stay anonymous, less heat, better asses of situations, and read people move around more freely doing what you want without politicians, other “family’s” or anyone else watching, easier to escape if need be if the whole “family” falls apart

CAM

We should all have empathy. No matter the sex.

BlueMop91

Why be the right hand when you can be the boss

LiquidXGravity

Sheera really went 0/20 with predictions this episode. Sometime it’s better to just sit back and let the episode play out.

Derrick

Lol I hope so, because I need the penguin to shine, it's his show afterall

Isaac Cobbinah

Yeah Carla definitely could’ve been smarter, but regardless I guess we’ll find out later how her basically killing all of the heads of the family, will inevitably bite Sophia in the ass, especially if the daughter finds out.

That guy joe

Lol that's true, good point. Like I said, she has a right to feel that way. Really good point, as a mafia herself, it real that she does kill them. I'm only wondering if it's too much, becuz to me, they were basically forced to do that. I will say that, Carla acting the way she did with her ddaughter to sofia was a dumb move

Isaac Cobbinah

I get what you’re saying but it’s just fact you keep minimalizing it by calling it “just a letter” Like yeah duh she had to write it or the Capo would have her killed, cause that’s how mafia work, but in the same breath she doesn’t deserve to be killed by Sofia?? Nah actions have consequences, because right back at you, that’s how mafia works..

That guy joe

It was Carbon Monoxide poisoning so she was smoking by the window so she could breathe and smoke because the cigarette wouldn't light without oxygen.

Jigga Man

If it makes you feel better, the people who he sends here are already off their rocker and evil. Not people who were framed for crimes they didn't commit.

Matthew Tigue

"All she did was write a letter" That letter among others is the reason why she was put in Arkham and tortured for a decade. Even if you want to ignore the letter, Carla still treated her like shit afterward pretending as if none of it happened but then doing a 180 when her kid is around. Even worse is that she didn't even apologize to Sofia or show any remorse when there was nothing stopping her from doing so.

Matthew Tigue

Also Carmine is dead at this point. If any of them wanted to show remorse In private or even in public in front of other members of the family then they can now. However, not a single one of them did and they treated her worse afterward. They absolutely had it coming.

Matthew Tigue

Ooh of course, i like said, sofia's feeling is justifiable. I just thought killings Carla and her husband along with her messed up mafia family is crazy considering that all Carla did was right a letter

Isaac Cobbinah

I think you have to understand killing Sophia would've been more humane than to put her in an environment forcing her to becoming mentally unstable. Most people were surprised that she even let them live as long as she did. Johnny's constant threats, Luca's constant undermining, and Carla's guilt on top of everything is what sent Sophia over the edge. Not that hard to understand

Djones

He literally said that he was sorry but did not regret having a better life

General Grevious

I really don’t think Oz meant for her to get sent to Arkham but this why you don’t talk crazy to someone who can hear all of your conversations😂

General Grevious

Me and the therapist thinking- "I Can Fix Her"

GhoulEx

I see what you mean but all Carla had to do was be nice and welcoming, it didn't have to be in front of the family. Also, she didn't even apologize for the letter

CAM

and we getting Arcane next month

Myla Mason

Vox Machina Agatha All Along and this show have been COOKINGGG straight bangers

Myla Mason

Lol it's really not that hard to comprehend what I'm saying with a little critical thinking. I never said she wasn't right to feel how she feels now

Isaac Cobbinah

Let your own Family put you in an Asylum for a decade for a crime you didn’t commit and then they still treat you like a criminal after you get out… ultimate gaslighter over here “Just for writing a letter” my ass🤣🤣 you’re funny bro

That guy joe

That's fair but I saw that them feeling guilty of what happened, carmine just got killed by the riddler just weeks ago, then little carmine recently by the penguin. All of this is just unraveling recently. Carla probably feels like life is now underthreat with sofia out. And it was her uncle(head of the family) and other capos who threatened to her kill of she didn't leave.

Isaac Cobbinah

Ngl I teared up lil for Sofia and if oz just kept his mouth shut he would’ve been the right hand man to the heir rn

CAM

You would win a Nobel prize if you didn’t forget after 10 whole years passed they still treated her like she was actually crazy and excluded her like the cousin Carla who was supposed to be her closest family/friend but no they threatened to kill her or send her away

CAM

Thank you for the clarification!

Nikolai Cannady

lol if the head of the family tells your to do something, and u don't do it, you might as well die. I'm not saying, she isn't right to be upset, but she also has misplaced anger. Those families were probably coerced into writing those letters. That's what happens in the mafia

Isaac Cobbinah

Yeah, but ECT for legitimate and thoughtful medical purposes (with proper care management afterwards) is a whole different beast from ECT intentionally and excessively used by bigots to torture a group of people they either despise or feel more powerful than

Bria A.

“just for writing a letter” and the letter in question put a woman through physical and mental torture for a decade, are you hearing yourself 😭

Bria A.

I never bothered watching How I Met Your Mother, so I’ve always just said I’ve been a Cristin fan since Black Mirror, lol

Bria A.

No, they commented on it, it just went by pretty quickly

Bria A.

According to the cast, Episode 7 is the one to watch out for 😬

Bria A.

Strong Empathy GANG GANG

Terry King Jr

I feel like part of the reason Oz snitched was because Sophia snapped at him after speaking to the reporter and said all those means comments. And then from that point he wanted a get back but didn't know she would get sent to the Asylum.

Kareem Davis

I don't think ya'll made the Bliss drug connection for what they were giving them in Arkham Asylum and what's being sold in the streets

Nikolai Cannady

And you woulda ended up in Arkham right there with Sofia

Kryptik _

Sheera felt them stirrups in her gut. 😂😂

Kryptik _

Bro the wallpaper in the cell being they parents old bedroom wallpaper is nastyyyyyyy work

Ghost

I cant believe I watched this episode off an edible last night, shit was depressing as hell 😂😂😂😂

Manny

Ngl if I was alberto I woulda pulled up on pops wit the blicky and start makin demands to get my sis out. Fckin over my sis, your daughter, like this is grounds for reviewing ur life subscription.

Slicewinds

Yo actually I got a question that dead just came to me: Would you rather be stuck in Arkham Asylum or Mount Massive Asylum (Outlast)?

Adrian Neal

She talked to the reporter. That was enough and all her father needed to know. The rule was “nobody talks to reporters” she did and got the consequences

ChrisM

Im a guy but i'll be a hunnid im a softie in emotional moments or screwed up moments and I usually find that i be tearing up alongside sheera in these fucked up moments and also LupaSan. I'm still watching the reaction but i had to point that out cuz its happened alot. Great reaction so far tho. I'll bet there will be more tears tho lol. Sophia is such an amazing layered character and the actress is bodying the role WOWZERS!!!!!

john segun doe

She also popped some kid in the head just to prove a point lol

Henderson C

My exact thoughts

Massamo

Why would they jeopardize their lives to do that, and anyways u think they deserved to die just for writing a letter?

Isaac Cobbinah

Show SO GOOD you never seen these niggas so quiet 🤣

HIM

To me, Sophia was pissed that Oz didn't report to her instead of her father but he did try to talk to her in the car but she went off on him and basically called him a nobody. We all know Oz can hold a grudge and I think he might not have went to Carmine if she hadn't said that. I think he just wanted to get back at her but it turned into a lucky opportunity for him. It's the same when Oz came to the party and asked she him why he was indoors like an animal. Sophia was raised a Falcone and just like everybody else thought less of Oz, she was just more nice about it.

RazzyXM

Just wanna say that Cristin Milioti might be THE most alluring and magical person on this entire Earth. I've been watching interviews on her recently, and She is just a Stunning human being. Can you BE-LIEVE that SHE was so nervous during this shoot, that she actually considered asking to be recasted because the stress got to her? Well, she actually says it's an early phase of just about all acting... and that just makes her even Greater to me. God... I've fallen for an Angel✨️

HIM

why didn't ANY of them ever apologize to her after she was released? Carmine was already dead so they weren't scared of him anymore...

GrandNubian

This episode felt like an hour and a half but I was enthralled beginning to end. Damn this show is good. Amazing what great actors can do when they actually have great writing.

Jazz Rivers

I’ll never forgive my mom

Franklin Saint

He’s trying to destroy both sides he mostly wanted info from Sophia about the shipment that’s about it and required it himself but it don’t really matter because he has his own crew if you remember

Franklin Saint

Y’all should watch the inside the episode at the very tail end after the preview. It gives more of an invite as to character motivations and I’m so happy and surprised at the amount of women spearheading this show

Sheraya san

yall try so hard to predict everything now, instead of just watching and wait for it to happen

Isaac Cobbinah

...sheera why would u be okay with her killing that girls parents, when they were probably forced by the father to write those letters. this is the mafia, either do what you're told or die. smfh

Isaac Cobbinah

Sofia deserves to go full Ramsey Bolton on everyone who wronged her, starting with that Ventris fucker

Nico

I think the idea is that they were calling the killer the Hangman before Sofia was blamed for it. Hangman just stuck.

Relliar

Oz did NOT “apologize” to Sofia - he literally said that what he did was “worth it”. He said he felt bad for what happened to her but not for what he did. Massive difference.

GrandNubian

Oz doing messed up stuff and being sane does not make sofia not insane. Id say oz lost his heart being in this life and sofia lost her mind. But just because a cartel leader has a higher body count than my crazy ex doesnt make my ex any less crazy. You cant diagnose illness by comparing it to someone else. And i mean weve never seen oz hallucinate so idk

Indifferent Denji

@ogan out of everyone here who disagreed with me your comment was the most stupid. victor does not have stockholm syndrome. 🤣

Yoxxhio

She left Gotham at The Batman movie so unlikely idk tho

sotonye ogan

Manipulation qualifies it as being a Stockholm Syndrome and that shit is way too far lol he had a chance to go with his girl and forget about everything but he still came back. So nah that’s a grown ass man making a full choice and decision lol

sotonye ogan

y'know, electroconvulsive therapy is still done nowadays and its uh.. not at all like the movies lmao. Its fine? I think its kinda outdated, but its still an option for severe depression and parkinsons when other methods aren't working. They put you under general anaesthesia and induce a seizure - its actually pretty low risk, all things considered. Unless you have heart problems going in, the biggest risk is partial amnesia, which usually goes away.

Maleny

But the gang ain’t gonna pick that out or the fact Alberto also belittled him that why he caught a hot one too like Oz is the almighty evil and wrong😂

sotonye ogan

“But doesn’t relay the fact that she defended her father “ nigga how would he know that? watch the scene again was he there when the repeater and her were chatting lol what? Again this wouldn’t be a problem if Sofia explained to Oz after he warned her but she shut him down quick and shii he ain’t her personal butler so don’t blame him for telling

sotonye ogan

Yeah I think some are making the jump from Oz snitching to Carmine to what her father did to punish her. Oz is great at lying and Colin Feral is a great actor but last episode when Oz was apologizing to Sophia he seemed super genuine. He just wanted to show Carmine he was a good soldier and worth keeping around. Carmine deciding to kill all the women, pin them on Sophia, and throw her in Arkham forever (until he died and Alberto got her out) is allll Carmine. Not Oz.

King of New York

The moment she brought up the scratches on her father's hands when her mom died felt like the exact moment he decided to send her away. He probably decided she was a liability or a loose end.

Mr. Glasses

Will happily and confidently simp for Sofia in that yellow dress

Trent

Sheers always thinks everybody sus until something eventually sticks on the ceiling 🤣

sotonye ogan

I wouldn't ever call Sofia innocent. We have to remember that she is part of the Mafia, the daughter of a mob boss, and most of her family is involved in the business. Let's not pretend that she has no part in the family business; if she never confronted her father, she would have been the boss. Sympathize with her but never take her side; no one in this story is innocent, not even Victor, that poor kid.

CentrisAce

Why people acting like oz is the main one behind this? Like he sent her to Arkham on purpose. I most definitely don’t think he knew she was gonna get sent to Arkham. Yes he snitched on her cuz he was mad at how she talked to him( I’m assuming) just like how he shot her brother it was an impulsive and emotional decision that I don’t think he fully thought through. Plus no one expected her to go to Arkham and I don’t she would have if she didn’t say all that she said to her dad. I’m not saying oz is a good person or nun but to put a lot of the blame on him is dumb to me

DJ

whew that dress on sofia is TEAAA she looks amazing

Des Bethea

funny enough the sofia in the gotham series lived in itally thats were her father sent her not arkarm as form of not wanting her in the game because she was dangerous

Candy

I love this show, but I'm still a bit confused about Oz's character. Like nigga, how are you trying to be the kingpin and you are just doing everything so messy, like why is he trying to play both sides? Or is that the point of his character lol

Des Bethea

i think they should've released this before the batman cuz holy shit the world building is crazy. Carmine is being presented like fucking Kingpin. Also wish you guys were a lil more fresh on The Batman cuz Lupa was right, Carmine killed catwoman mom by choking her and it was a big plot of The Batman movie so it would've hit harder to see yall make that connection.

Derek Sanders

are you Team Aegon (Greens), too?

GrandNubian

why do they call her hangman if she's a female, shouldn't it be hangwoman

Gate

Or she could kill them all and take over. If a man pulled off what she just did, you'd be praising him as a proper G.

GrandNubian

kept her mouth shut? exactly what did Sofia SAY to the reporter except defend her father and say her family will destroy the reporter if she continues to pursue the story?

GrandNubian

after this episode, we need to elevate sheera's sheeragan status. the ep3 discussion points she made about sofia basically predicted most of this episode with sofia's character background. how about 'ultra instinct sheeragan' 'grand high priestess sheeragan'?

RYC

That's highly likely. I feel like there is an 80% chance Oz kills him for some reason, like the one you said or another. But, there is also the chance that Sofia kills victor to try and hurt Oz. Still, I feel like Oz is the one that kills him as that would be more impactful.

Requiem_Phantom

Bro if you were a mob boss and you hear your daughter met with a reporter at night in an alley what other reason would she be doing that? Please give me an idea of what carmine could've thought that didnt end with her snaking him. And her telling the reporter to f off doesn't mean shit because the reporter obviously knew she was right sofa wasnt very good at hiding it. Her reaction was validating enough. She didnt need to say much her actions spoke enough, her coming to the reporter in general was enough because she couldve left it at that or told her father. Im not justifying carmine but oz snitching was a good idea if your thinking like gangster which he is...

Indifferent Denji

oz isnt dumb what other reason do u talk to press at night in an alley other than to snitch? You guys are really slow to this crime shi if you think theres any situation where that would be acceptable. If oz drove her there carmine found out and oz didnt tell him you dont think carmine wouldnt be upset? And yea she shouldve especially not gone to her if carmine wouldnt care what she talked about. Bro plain and simple you cant trust anyone in gotham because carmine probably wouldve found out eventually when theres and entire open case on it and then suddenly hes being looked into right after sofia begins to randomly question him about her mother.

Indifferent Denji

Lol what do you think she just did

Mustardy Boi

Feel bad for how things went for Sophia. But she should’ve kept her mouth shut and stayed away from that reporter. She brought it on herself. Ppl saying Penguin snitched, yall gotta remember that his boss was Carmine. He’s obligated to tell him otherwise if Carmine found out, then he’d be dead

ChrisM

I’m taking Sophia down. She wearin that yellow dress

ChrisM

The tie in to what Carmine did to Selena's mom who also worked at the lounge was crazy. Like bro how are u SERIALLY doing this

Justin Neason

Vic is so cooked 💀

Domehead

Nah man oz is great but he need to pick a lane cuz he gonna get himself clapped playing both sides he’s trying to do too much and honestly he should just run cuz both sides hate him

AresReborn

If it's not broken don't try to fix it, she could've just leave and make her own gang or something.

Kevin Fernández

I half-agree: Yes, Oz does feel bad for what happened to Sofia BUT No, he does NOT feel bad for his role in it. One, he truly believes that he was just doing his job by telling Carmine (e.g. he doesn't see himself as a "rat"). Second, I believe he'd absolutely do it again even if he had advance knowledge of what was going to happen to her as long as he would reap the same reward of an elevated status in the Falcone operation (e.g. he told Sofia to her face that "it was worth it" already knowing she spent 10 years in Arkham for crimes she did not commit).

GrandNubian

for good reason, given the patriarchal structure of the Falcone operation. Unlike the Maroni family, there was not one woman in a position of power in the Falcone family -- instead, women were treated as disposable (Isabella and Sofia).

GrandNubian

The penis envy is big in this one.

Kevin Fernández

I’m on Sofia’s side

Cam

I think Oz genuinely did/does feel bad for what happened to Sofia and the role he played in it, but it’s also 10 years later, of which he spent it all being disrespected and forced under Carmine’s thumb, and now he is at a place where he really is genuinely only concerned about himself at this point All this shit is showing me is that Vic either A - is gonna get killed or B - he does to Oz what Oz did to Sophia and gets Oz locked up (probably in Blackgate) for The Batman II

Adrian Neal

Franklin was the protagonist. Cissy was the antagonist.

GrandNubian

LOL to be fair, he said that in response to her saying she was going to die in there and he was trying to boost her self-confidence in her own strength of will. W brother.

GrandNubian

Nah fr 💀😂

Franklin Saint

Penguin is the protagonist she’s the antagonist

Franklin Saint

Alberto: “it’s only six months you can handle it.” Me: nigga in ARKHAM?????

Adrian Neal

Milton: I don’t think u mean it

xProKnockz

Yea she has to end that family bro

Deku Kana

Why do a lot of people in the comments think Sofia is a misunderstood villain. SHE'S THE PROTAGONIST! WE ROOTING FOR HER!

Ragdefender2

And Batman just loves sending people here….

Arlich Nelson

alright... im in full support of sophia crashing out on this family holy shit

Fuji

yeah, one-dimensional villains rock

GrandNubian

yea this show is peak

mal

Her brother didn’t take her place. She was locked up. Him being head of the family allowed him to get her out.

These Plums

Imma need SOFIA TO GET A W!!!

ShaquanVirse

This show got my attention like the Nolan trilogy. PEAK!!!

NovaVortex

Damn they literally turned her into a villain but they all deserved that what she went threw was messed up turned this innocent person into a savage but damn i don't want her to die lm loving her character

Reckless Company

When she was complaining to Oz "oh why didn't you just talk to me first" Ma'am that's what I tried to do then you told me to shut up and drive lmao.

sotonye ogan

Gotta love how she was gaslit for a crime she didn't do for 10 years, and then she went and killed the family with gas.

Nick Baynes

Ngl I need a bad villain like Oz that dgaf and just trying to survive to back. I get Sofia but I'm low-key tired of the "misunderstood" villians it's just me tho.

sotonye ogan

Dude, why would it matter? Why would her father care what she said to the reporter??? He killed the girls, and her mother, something Oz had no idea about. Not to mention, Oz couldn't hear a fucking thing she said? He's in a car 30+ feet away with the windows closed lol. There's no way Oz would have known that the meeting was even about murders in the first place, let alone that Carmine would frame her for them. If were being real, Sophia was an idiot for not just driving herself. Meeting with a reporter as a mobster kind of seems like a "Im not going to tell ANYBODY, about this" kind of choice.

William kimura

Sophia barely shows any respect toward oz, yes she shows a little kindness but her words are very harsh and she views him low,she mad to oz for going to her father and didn’t come to her but he basically did went to her first try to have a convo with her being with news lady but she shut him out and also that’s HIS job and gets paid to report stuff and to be her driver but I do think she’s say these things unintentional though But I don’t blame Sophia for how she turn out, her family was trash at the end of the day but she did not need to kill that kid in the first ep though 💀😭

Franklin Saint

Peak. If you'd have told me a Penguin show would absolutely smoke a Joker movie in the same month I woulda sent you to Arkham. Wild times.

Carlos

Evil and corruption will always find a new home.

GrandNubian

the Wikipedia entry about Rosemary's lobotomy reads like a horror movie ... or a view into Arkham fr: "When Kennedy was 23 years old, doctors told her father that a lobotomy would help calm her mood swings and stop her occasional violent outbursts.[18][19] Joe Sr. decided that Rosemary should have a lobotomy; however, he did not inform his wife of this decision until after the procedure was completed.[17][20] The procedure took place in November 1941.[4][21] In Ronald Kessler's 1996 biography of Joe Sr., Sins of the Father, James W. Watts, who carried out the procedure with Walter Freeman (both of George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Sciences), described the procedure to Kessler as follows: After Rosemary was mildly sedated, "We went through the top of the head," Dr. Watts recalled. "I think she was awake. She had a mild tranquilizer. I made a surgical incision in the brain through the skull. It was near the front. It was on both sides. We just made a small incision, no more than an inch." The instrument Dr. Watts used looked like a butter knife. He swung it up and down to cut brain tissue. "We put an instrument inside", he said. As Dr. Watts cut, Dr. Freeman asked Rosemary, for example, to recite the Lord's Prayer or sing "God Bless America" or count backwards;... "We tried to estimate thus, how far to further cut, based on how Rosemary responded." When she became incoherent, they ceased cutting.[22]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosemary_Kennedy

GrandNubian

Great catch. I understand Sophia but i still dont root for her bc of little moments like that that show her true character.

PetersThimble

i wouldn’t count it because that was all because of Sony setting the ground work😭 I want Dark and Gritty not just comedy and bright colors

Jazko

"Deadpool & Wolverine".

GrandNubian

and what exactly did Sofia SAY to the reporter? Oz tells Carmine that Sofia is meeting with a reporter but doesn't relay that Sofia defended her father and ultimately told the reporter to F off. Convenient.

GrandNubian

60 minutes of pure gaslighting is fucking wild smh. I'm rooting so hard for Sophie bro.

Delinda Arts

I love the use of perspective in this show, the writing is so fantastic. When you watch Batman media through Batman's eye's, Penguin is always a villain (Arms and drug dealer etc) but in the first 3 eps the show tricks you into being sympathetic towards Oz with his mother and showing how hard he has to work to get to where he is. But this episode reminds you that Oz is a villain through and through, absolute scumbag. Fuck me the writing is amazing.

Charcoal

I think a lot of gangsters do that because they don't expect to live long enough to die of natural causes and have to pay for all that smoking lol

John Cedar

This has nothing to do with anything but everyone in this show smokes as much as Peaky mfing Blinders LMAO a cig for every scene I swear

PetersThimble

Bro, Bruce better lay on the Joker-Ora-Ora combo on Ventris, Penguin, ALL OF'M.

AutumnOnFire

Mark Strong absolutely nailed his performance as Carmine Falcone, IMO. Subtly intimidating and menacing. Not one regret for me.

GrandNubian

I'm betting that Victor dies because Oz betrays him to save himself.

GrandNubian

Personally I don't want any other major characters introduced this season because I don't want any distractions from Oz and Sofia.

GrandNubian

Forever shades

xProKnockz

I mean by all means shes not mentally healthy, but from unhealthy to batshit crazy theres a lot of wiggle room. that being said, at this point, her father is right, she IS unhealthy. Oz is as well, but thats probably a common thing in that city as it is.

I VisiBomb I

Maybe the play to blackmail Viti is simply "you can help me or we both go down together, your call". I feel like she can find some way to pin it on him, even as an asset to murder (since he was the only other one who lived). Then Sofia just has to do the whole "i've been inside before, i can hack it, i'm fine with going back in, but you? You're fucked lol." so Viti now feels like he no choice but to help her.

Shockzz1234

Nah Sophia need to get Oz jumped Omm😂😂😂

Eliana

Someone pointed out on a different channel to this episode: Sofia dressed in yellow is a call out to how miners would bring canaries in coal mines to see how long the air was breathable.

CobraCartoon

Bruh why you got us waiting till Tuesday for penguin meanwhile that mid ass House of Dragon was getting front row seats on Mondays its lowkey ain't fair lmao. at least reconsider 😂

sotonye ogan

Sheera I think you got Albero's intentions wrong, at least until the middle of the episode. He genuinely loved his sister and he didn't pretend and go along with Carmine's framing of Sophia so he could inherit everything. There's nothing he could have done when his dad is the #1 mob boss and has the entire police and justice system under his control.

King of New York

Maybe Im thinking of House of Cards

meolmir2

Did you watch the episode? How could it possibly have been a good choice? The alternative is to let her mothers murderer face justice, and Sofia not having to suffer in Arkham for 10 years

Expired Breast Milk

Like everyone agrees, peak peak PEAK episode. Really pleasantly surprised by this show! Just because nobody's mentioned it yet, Sal Maroni canonically threw acid in DA Harvey Dent's face at his trial, creating Two-Face. Don't think they're gonna use that bit in the show or movies, but I'm always up for more Two-Face, so I can hope.

Jon Fejes

wdym? If you are talking about johnny viti he doesnt.

Indifferent Denji

Honestly, I am truly interested in how they end this show. I mean, it is obvious Penguin comes out on top as it's his show, and he is the Batman villain here. But the how will be interested and the fate of other characters. Victor, I am sorry, but I am 100% sure he dies this season. I just wonder how. Sofia either dies or gets sent back to Arkham. I would rather that, because it would leave future options for her to appear again, maybe in another Batman movie.

Requiem_Phantom

sucks John Turturro was filiming severance season 2 and couldnt reprise his role as carmine here

Blue

@moisty this is a fair take i cant lie. but imo personally i dont think you can manipulate someone to do something they want in their heart. he gave victor respect, told him to speak up and ask for what he wants. can you point out what exactly he manipulated? because victor would have left had he believed penguins words were lies, he came back cuz he knew it was his truth.

Yoxxhio

Another thing is that when Sophia said to Oz in the flashback 'Congrats, my dad sees you now. You and everyone you love are on his radar." He probably realized she was right which is why Oz tells everyone that his mom died a few years ago. That way people can't use her as leverage against him.

King of New York

both things can be true. Victor does want this life and Oz was manipulating the fuck outta him.

Moisty Justice

wont the blackmail be that he holds a public office and works/worked for the crime family

meolmir2

To be fair oz tried to say something to her she acted like a asshole. And this is CRIME you cannot be speaking to reporters. especially dumb ones that are going to the police precinct asking for evidence on a case thats obviously been covered up by cops on your dads pay roll. Like cmon lets not act like oz has any loyalty to her hes just her driver remember? I i think she was nicer to him that other family members but never really "nice" to him out of care or respect, because when he spoke to her at the party the first thing she sad was "why are you inside ?" like man wtf

Indifferent Denji

Yeah that was so well done. All the little ways Sophia disrespected Oz in the flashback were so well depicted. No wonder he crashed out.

King of New York

Unpopular Opinion: Even after 10 years in Arkham, Sofia is NOT CRAZY / NOT INSANE. Yes, she suffers from PTSD but she has not done one thing that Oz wouldn't have done and we've seen Oz do worse things with less provocation. If Oz is sane, so is Sofia.

GrandNubian

DC need to keep dropping bangers like this. MCU has been on an outrageous flop cringe streak.

Jazko

I wonder if Zoë Kravitz will make a cameo in the finale or something. That'd be wild.

King of New York

I think Sofia did t say anything about Oz to her family because he has nothing to sleuth the beef she has with her family. Sure Oz snitched on her to her dad and technically it’s his fault, but Oz isn’t the one that put her in Arkham; Her father/family did. Oz didn’t know what was going to happen to her when he snitched, he just snitched to her back at her for disrespecting him. Her beef with Oz is completely separate from her beef with her family and she had to deal with them first before she could focus on her beef with Oz. That’s what I think at least. I blame her being in Arkham for 10 years on her family more so than on Oz.

Bro he killed thousands of people 😭💀

Pls^

The entire time watching it I could hear one of the trio saying something out of pocket in my head LOL

King of New York

She was excited when Carmine told her she was going to take over the family. Let's not act like she was some saint who didn't she was apart of a crime family.

Red Death

Apparently it wasn't any big reason, the actor was literally just busy filming another show lmao (Maybe Severance) and since it was a younger version they could get away with it. This new actor they got has a history in DC too. He played Sinestro in the Green Lantern movie and Dr. Sivana in the Shazam movie.

King of New York

wdym he wasnt so bad? bro he made the one dude go into a funeral with a BOMB the only reason more people didnt die was because bruce. He was a terrorist from the start plain and simple.

Indifferent Denji

But that still helping Sofia with the business even with his reputation

Jarick Richardson

And let's be honest "irritable and difficult" was her not falling in line with her fathers vision of getting his sons into politics and eventually presidency. Like a lot of women back then were lobotomised for being "irritable and difficult" .Its scary seeing her before and after pictures Interestingly enough in relation to criminal activities its speculated that Joseph Kennedy made his money through trafficking and bootleggers during prohibition.

One thing worth pointing out: Sofia asking Oz, "What are you doing inside?" is incredibly dehumanizing and shows how Sofia views Oz. She views him as the "help" and worthy of her utmost disrespect. She treats him like a dog that only belongs outside. That line was so powerfully layered with classism and disrespect. All the while, Oz got dressed up, but it didn't matter.

Co

johnny isnt there to help with the business hes their alibi with the triads. I think he still has connections that she doesn't because hes a name and face with a reputation

Indifferent Denji

To be fair him telling on her was a good choice you do not EVER got to a mfk reporter when u are in the mob much less the daughter of.

Indifferent Denji

they re-casted Carmine (dad) Falcone, that confused me for a second bc Falcone was originally played by Irv from Severance.

rYenis

Also in the comics, Magpie is one of many villains in Batman's rogues gallery

"In her early young adult years, Rosemary Kennedy was "becoming increasingly irritable and difficult". In response to these issues, her father arranged a lobotomy on her in 1941, when she was 23 years of age. The procedure left her permanently incapacitated and rendered her unable to speak intelligibly." Rosemary got to close to Joseph Kennedy's illegal activities? Imagine being lobotomized at age 23 and living until you're 86. Absolutely tragic.

I'll be curious how long Sofia keeps Johnny around since there's seemingly nothing stopping him from plotting to take her out and she's no physical match for him

GrandNubian

Day 37 of my campaign for a Mr Robot reaction.

The Riddler only caused suffering for Gotham's least fortunate people while the most wealthy, powerful, and corrupt were unscathed. F The Riddler.

That yellow dress 😮‍💨 ain’t gon lie, made a mf feel sumn

DJ Muldrow

This shit was fantastic, no notes

Yimmy Yurner

Mark Strong as a younger Carmine Falcone was crazy, bro is so scary just with his staring alone.

Nico

This crash out by her is 1000000000% valid I’m 100% behind her with this 😭

Kingmakaii

This episode solidified Sofia as my favorite character in the show. I like Oz and I’m rooting for him, but I’m rooting for Sofia more lol. I hope she doesn’t die by the end of this show.

Earphone Jack

Nigga I was so fucking confused when you said berleezy then it clicked😂😂😂😂

Ethan Durant

@blake blah blah nigga stay mad i said what i said. the whole point of that scene and the flashback with victors dad was to show that victor always wanted more, but his dad was the opposite. victors dad voice is in the back of his head saying he shouldnt do this but victor needs to make his own decisions now.

Yoxxhio

Bro called Vic Berlin 🤣

Username TakenB

This show is so fucking good. I need to know how Oz and Berleezy survive

Blackbulls6

In case ya'll didn't notice, those red pills in Arkham have the same active ingredient as Bliss. The red basidiospores.

Seany Park

Oh brother give it up. He is a manipulative piece of shit. Who used vics insecurities to get him to stay. He might want him around, but it is for selfish reasons.

Michael Blake

31:30 I wish Sofia killed her father

Abdul-Rahman Lawal

After this episode: The Riddler was right

faded

I like the worldbuilding we're getting in this episode. It clearly shows the corruption in Gotham. Batman is going to have a lot of work to do in the upcoming movies.

Neburcs

24:50 Im with Sofia... Almost cried too

Abdul-Rahman Lawal

This show is amazing!!!

Frederick

I just wanted to point out the amazing symbolism of Sophia killing them via CO Poisoning, making them suffer and suffocate at night, fighting for air similar to how Carmine killed his victims. Her method was efficient, strategic, and elegant while his was personal, aggressive, and dangerous.

Djones

Yeah... I fr cannot root for Oz anymore. Sofia was introduced as the next Arkham lunatic, and while it wasn't implied that Oz was supposed to be any better it was easy to pick his side because at least I knew him. But now I want to see him burn, which makes it all the more tragic because the show isn't called The Sofia, so its clear who will win in the end.

Expired Breast Milk

Plz don't off Sophia mane🤕

Mk IDraw

Y’all doubling down on being wrong about victor being manipulated is wild.

Yoxxhio

genuine serial killer 😭

nicholazsyx

I love that they portray how pathetic and treacherous Oz is when we see it from Sofia's perspectic

Kwisatz Haderach

Bruh how the fuck can every episode of the penguin be the best episode of the Penguin?!

Jamaal Ellison

Lupa you are correct catwoman and Sofia are technically half sisters and added bonus he killed both of their mothers 🥲

Tre

Mark strong as a youngish carmine falcone was a great choice

Tre

The best comic crime show since daredevil but overall it’s tough for me because there’s actually been a lot of comic book show greatness lol

King of New York

Yes Selina/Catwoman is also carmine’s daughter in this universe

Layton 🐐

There is no leverage the deal is Johnny Viti helps Sofia with the family business or She kills him and that’s the deal

Jarick Richardson

Just wow. Every episode gets better and better. Sophia was literally a fully innocent person before she got framed. Also Magpi is a B or C tier Batman villain, it’s cool they used her. At first I was like “bruh are they going to introduce Harley already in here.” Lol. The head psychiatrist “Dr. Ventris” is also from the comics sort of. There’s a Batman villain named Mirror Man (not mirror master” who also went by Ventris. They did such a great job at showing how Oz was clearly ticked off at the little remarks and passive aggressiveness Sophia was giving to him and was fed up with being her underling.

King of New York

Show of the year idgaf

Z

Yehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Hasnain Khan

The crazy lady attacking Sofia legit had nothing in her eyes, that was some horror movie shit. Also good for Sofia, she deserves that W

Nico

Yeah it seems like almost any woman that got close to him was strangled or almost strangled by him at some point, except for Sofia who got something that was arguably worse. This is the most psycho I've seen Falcone on screen.

John Cedar

Carmine got a kink for murdering his baby mamas huh?

nicholazsyx

I can definitely see the writers inspiration for Sofia being Rosemary Kennedy, Rosemary Kennedy was JFK's sister. Both institutionalised by their famous families and completely forgotten. Unfortunately Sofia's treatments in the asylum was the better of the two as Rosemary was lobotomised and became a walking vegetable.

Metweet .c

💯

My

This is the best comic book show since daredevil

Itanna

This is one of the best episodes of TV I’ve seen. I usually hate flashback episodes too.

DatBoi Lol

Arkham isn't that far off from reality
