The Penguin Episode 7: How Did Oz’s Brothers Die?

by

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent navigating the dark alleys of Gotham City, I must say that The Penguin Episode 7 was a chilling revelation that sent shivers down my spine. The way Colin Farrell brought Oz Cobblepot to life made me almost root for the villain, but this episode served as a stark reminder of who he truly is – a monster lurking beneath the charm.

In Episode 7 of “The Penguin,” one pivotal moment from Oz’s past is revealed, shedding light on his character. Colin Farrell’s performance as the character makes him endearing to viewers, almost masking the fact that he is a villain in Matt Reeves’ Batman Epic Crime Saga. However, Episode 7 underscores that he cannot be saved, as it discloses how his brothers, Jack and Benny, met their tragic ends.

How did Oz’s brothers, Jack and Benny, die in The Penguin?

The story starts by showing a past event – the day when Oz’s brothers met their end. A young Francis Cobb (Emily Meade) told her kids to go outside and play, as well as deliver a book to Rex Calabrese (Louis Cancelmi), an ex-gangster from Crown Point who was previously mentioned in the series. Once they completed their tasks, the siblings sought refuge in an abandoned trolley station during the approaching rain while enjoying a game of “flashlight tag.

Instead, Oz grew enraged when he discovered his brothers had taken refuge in a submerged passageway reachable only via a ladder. He sealed the entrance with the door, trapping them within. Afterward, he departed, leaving behind the torrential rain that ultimately claimed the lives of Jack and Benny.

Did Oz want his brothers to die in The Penguin?

In Episode 7 of The Penguin, while it doesn’t directly state that Oz wished for his brothers to perish, there are certainly strong indications suggesting this possibility.

In a reminiscent scene, Oz seemed to harbor feelings of jealousy as he watched his mother engage with his siblings. It’s later disclosed that he had the mental capacity to understand Rex was a gangster, implying he may have foreseen potential dangers for Jack and Benny when he sealed the floodgate behind him. Deceivingly returning to his mother, Oz fabricated tales about his brothers’ whereabouts, feigning loyalty. His glances outside the window prior to watching a movie with her might not have been due to remorse, but rather fear that his brothers would expose the truth to Francis.

In Episode 7, Oz’s past is revealed, demonstrating that he shares the monstrous qualities of other characters we’ve seen in the Batman Crime Saga. Despite his appealing demeanor and the constant challenges he faces, this doesn’t make him a character ripe for redemption; instead, it showcases his resilient nature as a persistent survivor.
