(Exaggeration is necessary and also comparison to Marvel) After that finale, I wanted to salute Matt Reeves and his team for creating one of the best origin stories of a DC villain. Beyond masterpiece this series. I was literally speechless after that “too perfect” of an ending. Genius. This is the result of great people coming together. Can see their vision and purpose in every episode. Collin Farrell and Cristin Milioti have given the best performances of their careers. I was always a MCU fan. But marvel could never give this much depth to their own villains. They really need to come out of “comedic” tone in almost everything they do. Matt/Nolan gave DC characters an impact that really hits home. MCU need to explore complexities of their world. MCU tried with moon knight but got lost in later episodes. Just cous it’s from a comic book, doesn’t mean it should always be cartoon-y or funny or fantastical. Matt knows what he’s doing and has achieved it already in his “The Batman” and now The penguin 🙏
