The Penguin Star Explains Their Finale Fate (Exclusive)

As a hardcore gamer and avid consumer of all things Gotham City, I’ve seen my fair share of power struggles, betrayals, and twisted relationships. But the ending of The Penguin left me utterly stunned and heartbroken – not because it was predictable, but because of the sheer brutality of Oz Cobblepot’s actions.


As a gamer, here’s my take on paraphrasing the given text:

Ultimately, Oz experienced a hollow triumph: his cherished mother, Francis (Deirdre O’Connell), endured a stroke that rendered her unconscious and unable to express her pride as the last of her sons ascended to the position of Gotham City’s kingpin. In response, Victor expressed gratitude for her support, saying “Thank you for taking a risk on me. For welcoming me.” He added, “You are family to me.

Describing their unexpected meeting as fate, Oz wrapped his arms around Vic and said, “I’m sorry, but I can’t bring you along this time. Here’s the truth about family… it can be your greatest source of strength, but also a burden.” However, he added that family could make one weak too, saying, “It’s draining me, and I can’t bear it anymore. It’s too much.” As Vic struggled to breathe and apologized, Oz mercilessly choked him to death. “This wasn’t in vain,” Oz murmured as he extinguished the last remnant of family he had left behind.

Why Did Penguin Kill Victor?

According to Feliz, he believes that Vic’s statement came during the act itself, implying that he understands his weakness now, having just experienced the loss of his own mother. In other words, due to Sofia exploiting Oz’s mother against him, resulting in a stroke that left her catatonic and nearly claimed Oz’s life, Vic had no choice but to meet his end.

As a devoted fan, I resonate with the sentiment Feliz expressed: when someone is considered like kin, it’s a powerful bond, as he puts it. In my perspective, he seems to yearn for an unassailable status. And from what I gather, his strategy for achieving this invincibility is by eliminating his vulnerabilities. To others, this might seem unnecessary, with the plea, “You don’t need to do this.” However, he seems to view it as, “The only path to absolute protection lies in extinguishing this inner flame.

In my last breaths, I implored Oz not to take my life. In the instant when Oz’s loving embrace transformed into a deadly chokehold, the only thought racing through my mind was sheer disbelief – shock had taken hold of me completely.

Feliz clarified that he aimed to elicit shock,” he explained. “You’re essentially being smothered. To put it another way, every action you take is a response to preserve yourself. It’s an instinctive reaction. You thrash about, grasp, and beg. You have no idea what’s happening, why it’s happening, or even what it all means.

In the end, Oz broke the trust of everyone left in his family. He vowed to his mother that he wouldn’t let her live if she grew worse, yet he housed her in his penthouse and worked on Eve Karlo to resemble his mother. Moreover, he deceived Vic by deciding to kill the boy who regarded Oz as more than a monster, rather than family.

Feliz expressed, “You’ve invested so much affection and faith in this individual, only for them to deceive you so cruelly.” He exclaimed, “I can’t help but think, ‘What? Oh my goodness, no! Please don’t. Stop please.’ ” Regarding whether Oz was predestined to murder Vic or if he succumbed to darker instincts upon declaring his victory, Feliz posed this question to Farrell instead.

Feliz replied, “That’s an excellent query! I’m curious to know how Colin might respond to this. However, regarding when the decision was made by Oz, I must admit, I’m as clueless as everyone else in our discussions.

To tell you the truth,” the actor admitted, “I’m unsure about it. Sometimes I feel that at the riverbank scene, he already knew his intentions. Yet, my thoughts fluctuate a lot on this matter.
