Quote from: Twisted_Soul on Mon, 19 Oct  2009, 08:38I didn't feel bad for the Penguin one bit. He was evil all along, why would he have killed that cat when he was a baby (assuming he did) if he wasn't evil?
You don't feel a little bit for someone who was rejected by his parents and dropped into the sewers and left to die?  Someone who's never known warm, genuine love and acceptance from anybody?

Harsh.

Indeed. The Penguin was a product of his environment.

True.  Within the context of a movie you can enjoy the luxury of really hating a character, whereas in real life anyone with a bit of humanity would investigate what made a certain person so mean to begin with.
Johnny Gobs got ripped and took a walk off a roof, alright? No big loss.

I felt bad for The Penguin when he was an infant, even if he did kill the family cat, but as soon as he grew up and started plotting the murder of innocent children he lost my sympathy.

When a person, or in this case a fictional character, plays the sympathy card (and that's exactly what Oswald did in Returns) to further position himself (which turned out to be political thanks to Max) to do great harm to a good number of people, yeah ... the sympathy aspect pretty much goes straight out the window!
"Imagination is a quality given a man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humour was provided to console him for what he is."

I'm not so sure. I can only speak for myself, but what other film can have a villain attempt to drown bubs up to their eye balls in raw sewage, and five minutes later have you feeling sorry for them?
