The interest in The Penguin It grows as new episodes are released. Many eyes are fixed on its protagonist Oz Cobb, the iconic Gotham villain played by Colin Farrell, whose rise in the city’s criminal world is the center of the plot. However, another character that fans really like is Sofia Falcone to which he gives life Cristin Milioti.
Carmine Falcone’s daughter is not an invention of the scriptwriters, she already has her own place in the comics. But the universe that created Matt Reeves in Batman (2022) and that continues with this production of Max claims its autonomy and, although it is inspired by the original material, seeks a personal identity and a particular development of their stories. This also implies that sometimes other influences are sought outside of fiction in people who existed in reality.
According to IndieWirethe showrunner Lauren LeFranc followed Matt Reeves’ instructions and decided to create something new in The Penguin instead of adapting the comics. A very appropriate example is Sofia Falcone herself, who in the series has a very particular development and away from canon. And to look for a new creative source from which to draw, the screenwriter looked at a forgotten character in the history of the United States: John F. Kennedy’s sister.
Rosemary Kennedy He had a very complicated life. When he was born, there were complications during delivery that caused him some mental disorders. She could lead a normal life, but her father Joseph P. Kennedy feared that her changes in behavior would harm the political career of his son and future president of the United States, so forced the young woman to undergo a lobotomy when he was 23 years old, believing that this would increase his IQ. Nothing could be further from the truth, since this intervention did not have the desired effects and Rosemary was left completely incapacitated. He spent the rest of his life hospitalized and her father never saw her again.
In the fourth episode of The Penguin It is revealed that Sofia Falcone was the weakness of her father Carmine, leader of the family and one of Gotham’s most dangerous criminals. She was a sweet and kind girl, far from the dirty business of her relatives. However, when she started asking uncomfortable questions, her father disowned her and made everyone believe that she had mental problems. Just 10 years admitted to Arkham, where they subjected him to all kinds of tests and torture.
LeFranc liked the idea that everyone believed that Sofia was disturbed and incapable of making her own decisions. Thus, she would have to overcome prejudices and find her own place in the world. Besides, was accused of being the Hanged Man, a criminal who killed his victims by hanging them with a rope. This is another difference with respect to the comics, since in the original material she is the fearsome murderer and in the series It is his father who is responsible for these murders.
The most recent thing we have seen in The Penguin This is how Sofia Falcone takes her particular revenge by killing his entire family causing a gas leak in the mansion. Now she is willing to keep everything and destroy her enemies, including Oz, who has betrayed her on several occasions. He finally applies the rules of a game he never wanted to belong to. “I wanted Sofia to be able to turn the narrative around, something Rosemary could never do. “I wanted her to tell her own story,” explained Lauren LeFranc. There is no doubt that she has decided to take the reins of her destiny.
