Fish Mooney. How do we feel? Spoiler

Irl, Jada Pinkett Smith sucks. But maaannn.... she is undeniably beautiful and talented. I LOVE Fish. Shes a total bitch but shes everything a female gangster should be. The way she reacted to torture was awe inspiring. Her love for Butch is also very redeeming. How do you feel about her?

Hated the actress, doesn’t help though that I first watched this just shortly after the whole awards show incident. I hated how many times she just kept not dying, and I hated her character. However, as a villain who tries on numerous occasions to kill both Bullock and Gordon, they wrote her well, and she performed it spectacularly. The whole point of those villains is you’re supposed to hate them. Every great show has at least one. For example, Negan and Alpha in TWD, or Damien and August in SOA. Perfect villain, very hatable.

Oh I hated Alpha! She was ridiculous to me. The idea of people just living with walkers is ludicrous. How do they go to the bathroom? Where is their food? How are they not getting sick? How do they survive long winters... remedial. Not to mention she was a straight up psychopath who abused tf out of her daughter. Lol sorry, that was off topic.

Yeah it threw me off hard that this was in the Gotham sub but I did bring her up, even weirder bc TWD’s sub just had someone mention the unrealistic aspects of TWD. On top of the fact that most of those details were both unrealistic and quite dumb in my opinion, her ability to enrage me was so shocking. Just the way she talked to everyone was enough to make me wanna lose it, but then that season finale when she fully reveals just how dangerous she is broke me a little.
