I just finished watching The Penguin and EWWWWWW!!!!! I loved it- AND HATED IT, but that part was intentional. That mother fucking SCUMBAG! I was truly devistated and grossed out in the best possible ways. This show was just beautiful front to back. The show was so great at making me love and hate the right people at the right time. I think the best parts of the show were when Sophia was onscreen, but like how could I not?(SHE'S SO HOT)
I am really interested on how(if) this universe is going to coincide with the new Superman(2025) movie. It feels like such different worlds that I don't even know how they could exist inside the same universe. I mean, we've gotten a lot more screen time currently with the world of The Batman because of this show, but Gotham and this universe just seems so gritty in comparison to Metropolis, which I get is literally the point, but the two cities are supposed to be just across the bay from each other and that just feels like such a fucking stretch. Also this Gotham has to be wayyy before Superman comes into the fold, so it's probable that Gotham gets better? It feels weird to say that- I know - but I keep trying to imagine SuperSweat and Battinson in the same movie and it just seems kind of laughable at the moment. It's going to be a bitch and a half to make that make sense and I can't wait to see where they take that.
VICTOR! HOW THEY MASSACRED MY BOY!!! Although Sophie was objectively the best character to watch the backstory of, NONE OF THE PLOT WOULD'VE HAPPENED WITHOUT MY BOY! I think that Francis was also up there with best character to watch stir shit up. When she SPAT on Sophia's face, I was aghast, and her ending(or lack of) LITERALLY ENDED ME. Also I loved Eve, she absolutly did nothing wrong, she's just a girl in a rough spot! She'll queen her way out I promise. Also I can't believe that Sophia didn't see that ending coming, like girl, you go and gas your whole family, leave a witness, then burn the whole place to the ground, and think "Oh I'm leaving the country it won't matter", like girl. Listen I know the corruption is that bad, like they made a point of that in the show, but when it happened, I knew that Oz was laughing his fucking ass off. I can't wait for the next batman movie!
live, laugh, love,
