What do you think of Marc point about fat people/actors via the Penguin?

I enjoyed the first episode. It's dark and more dark criminal underworld instead of superhero.

its an obvious point cause Hollywood is unchanged - only fat black women are safe there
they make every slightly thick to fat white girl drop weight
shit even Chris Pratt couldn't break into A-list until he slimmed down

on another note - I watched Penguin ep1

a few times during the ep it felt like I was watching a fake movie / tv clip they would do for Entourage -
you know how they would have great character actors pop up as guests doing scenes with out context

cool pilot - way better writing than the Batman movie - not sure they can sustain the quality
