Instead of whitewashing the image of someone like The Penguin, a classic Batman villain who has never exactly been a good guy, they have naturalized him and brought him to reality without losing his malevolent essence.

And it has done so by attacking where it hurts the most for the audience: causing the protagonist to end the life of Victor Aguilar, the character played by Rhenzy Feliz who, in reality, was the only good person in the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/2\/2024\/11\/the-penguin-final-vic.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-343750\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout the entire series, Aguilar has been the shadowy assistant to the Penguin: the only one who knew all his plans and who bailed the mobster out of trouble. On some occasions, in fact, he had the opportunity to flee&#8230; but <strong>he decided to stay by his side in an act of unparalleled loyalty<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Max\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/a2f73840-9b6e-11e6-a5b8-00163ec9f5fa\/3184479294\/hbo-max-logo\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Max<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/hbo-max.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/hbo-max.en.softonic.com\/android\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, at the end of the series, it has become more than clear that the Penguin is not someone who can have loyal relationships with anyone. He is an egotist who only thinks of himself, and if Vic was his weak point&#8230; <strong>he had to get rid of him as soon as possible.<\/strong> A tragic act that clearly defines the character and opens a very clear path to the sequel of Reeves&#8217; first movie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Movies and (especially) series about villains have become fashionable in recent years, but in general, there is a trend to make them more accessible to the audience by turning them into antiheroes or people who simply aren&#8217;t as bad as they seem.
