As a fan who has been captivated by the intricate narrative of The Penguin, I must say that the butterfly effect moments in this series are nothing short of mesmerizing. Each decision made, no matter how small, seems to ripple through the storyline like stones tossed into a pond, creating waves of potential consequences that leave me on the edge of my seat.
As a devoted fan, one thing I absolutely love about “Gotham: The Penguin” is the thrilling butterfly effect moments that subtly steer the narrative in countless unexpected directions. The story’s intrigue begins right from the start, posing the question, “What if Oz didn’t kill Alberto Falcone?” If this pivotal event hadn’t transpired, much of the turmoil we see on the show might have been avoided. However, given Gotham’s notorious reputation, even if Oz (Colin Farrell) had spared his boss’s son, it’s highly likely that trouble would still have found its way to the Penguin.
Reflecting on the finale of “The Penguin” Episode 3, I found myself pondering multiple realities, a thought I later discussed with Rhenzy Feliz, who plays the tough street character Victor on this captivating series. In the storyline, Victor finds himself ensnared in Oz’s criminal world and has faced some extremely grueling ordeals (one of which included crawling into a grave filled with fresh bodies to learn a lesson from Oz). As Episode 3 approached its end, Victor was presented an escape route: his girlfriend Graciela urged him to board a bus and leave Gotham. However, Victor hesitated before making the decision to return to Oz, arriving just in time to save him from another near-fatal situation.
Rhenzy Feliz shared with TopMob his thoughts on Victor’s decision to stay in Gotham. He indicated that it was a more calculated move than one might think, suggesting a possible shift towards darkness and potential involvement in criminal activities for Victor, which could be in store for his character. In simpler terms, Feliz implied that Victor’s choice was well thought out and may lead to some questionable actions or connections with criminal elements in the future.
In the current creative landscape, themes of alternate worlds and universes are prevalent, exploring what might transpire if characters made different choices. I believe that in most instances featuring Victor, he would indeed board the bus. However, we’re delving into a universe where he doesn’t. This version of Victor, the one who stays, is the character we’re getting to know. It’s an intriguing narrative, isn’t it? But there are reasons, perhaps not ‘had to,’ but compelling ones, that make him stay in this particular moment. Maybe I’d be out of a job if he had boarded the bus, though, so maybe it’s best that he didn’t… or maybe not. In any case, I imagine there were motivations driving his decision to stay, and those are what we’re exploring in our story.
In that pivotal moment, I found myself on the edge of my seat, hoping against hope for Victor’s innocence to prevail amidst Oz’s web of crime. After all, up until now, he seemed like the purest character in the cast, making us fans root for him to stay decent. But then, as Feliz humorously put it, if Victor were to escape Oz’s influence, well, that would mean less work for Feliz and The Penguin wouldn’t be as captivating as it has been so far.
In episode 4 of “The Penguin“, it seems that the spotlight moves towards Sofia, but don’t forget about Victor’s continuing storyline, which promises to unfold as the series progresses. Make sure your HBO subscription remains active and join us every Sunday for more revelations!
