Will Penguin’s finale lead to a heartbreaking ending?

Something became clear to me from the first episode. from Penguinand this is a spin-off of the series Batman is coming to a sad end. Very fast in the first episode PenguinColin Farrell’s Oz Cobb begins to take steps to climb the ladder of Gotham’s criminal underworld. This was announced in the last minutes Batman itself, but what we saw in PenguinThe first episode was that he didn’t really have a good plan. Enter Vic, masterfully played by Renzy Feliz, who offers Oz what he didn’t even realize he needed – a friend and confidant. Now six episodes later, with one episode Penguin on the left, I’m sure Vic is going to die and I think Oz will be the one to get him out.

Penguin theory: Oz will kill Vic in the finale

Since Oz and Vic met in the first episode Penguin it was clear that Oz was superimposing the font, trying to look like he was on on the same level as his memories of Rex Calabrese from his youth. However, the threats that Oz sends to Vic have no weight from our point of view, although they clearly scare Vic enough. But one phrase that Oz says stuck with me.especially since both characters made their way into the world.

Oz Cobb: “You will do whatever I say, or I will, uh… kill you and everyone you care about…”

In the remaining six episodes PenguinNot only has Oz become a major gangster himself, but Vic has clearly become his right-hand man with larger ambitions. At the beginning of episode 5 Penguin when Vic returns and helps Oz escape Maroni, the partnership between them becomes clear. Not only in terms of the fact that they support each other, but also in terms of the fact that they are both completely committed to the cause.

Vic: “I only had one chance, now I see it.

Oz: “You’re back, Vic. Get your ass on the road for me. A hundred Maseratis could not replace this. Now we’re with you, baby, until the end.”

The upcoming second episode will take things even further, giving their partnership a more personal touch. When Vic confesses to Oz that he killed Squid There is a tender moment between them, as if father and son are hugging after a difficult decision. Oz even offers to impart wisdom, telling Vic that he is both “strong” and adding that “(killing) gets easier.” This is the scene where they clearly realized that their partnership was strong; but it is here that I see the grief of the ending already taking shape. Combining the close bond that Oz and Vic have formed throughout the series with the origin story elements of Oz’s life that we’ve seen, I know we’re in for something depressing.

Vicky’s story Penguin deliberately was a kind of mirror of the ascension that Oz himself achieved when he appeared in the underworld, and Oz himself would understand this. I don’t know what will happen, but Oz will see something in Vic or see Vic do something that will trigger an alarm in his mind. Oz will understand that Vic is just like him, a person who can fend for himself in this world.

Just as Oz eliminated all of his competitors and everyone who was a level above him, he will see that Vic has the same ambitions and recognizes that this makes him a threat. Knowing full well that one day Vic will be in the same place as him and may try to usurp him… Oz absolutely I’m going to kill Vic. He will also try to justify it, he “should” in his mind, knowing that the day will come when the situation will turn the other way. He may not even believe it, but it’s a risk he can’t take for the sake of his future.

To be clear, this outcome resembles what the show has been building to all along, and not some random twist ending designed to wow the audience. Penguin the series succeeds in humanizing Oz as a character, but at the end of the day, he’s a DC Comics villain who will have similar situation when Batman Part Two eventually comes out. Even though the series gives us an even more complete picture of who Oz is as a character, the series still has to stick to the fact that its main character is a “bad guy.” Ending the series with this horrific moment will not only complete Oz’s portrayal of the Penguin, a ruthless gangster, but also show his human side in an even more tragic light. Not only will Oz become a man who will have to maintain his reputation as a ruthless man, but he will also have to keep everyone at a distance in order to maintain his position in the world. He has made an isolation bed and he will have to lie in it.
