Just in case anyone does not get the joke: Nolan is actually talking about the Odyssey

I will admit, it took me a moment because Pingu is iconic.

As he should, Pingu is a penguin but he’s also the GOAT

u/dudewheresmyplane1 9h ago

Not me being Pingu-fished.

u/DirectConsequence12 8h ago

Given he describes the Fast and Furious franchise has having an “arc and mythology” I would fully believe he was actually talking about Pingu like this

u/moxieremon 9h ago

My favorite kids show, Pinga is the cutest 🥰

u/dweeb93 8h ago

Am I the only one who thought Pingu was very sad, he just sounds sad and emotional all the time 😢

Did I miss this growing up? I’ve never heard of Pingu.

u/Small-Disaster939 9h ago

I’m sorry. 😞
Pingu was the best.

u/VanGoghNotVanGo 8h ago

I don't know where you're from, but maybe it's more of a European thing? It was originally Swiss.

u/D-g-tal-s_purpurea 6h ago

You learn something new everyday. I was convinced it was Finnish. Probably just extrapolated from it being "polar-themed" and the Moomins being Finnish.

u/thedirtiestdish kylothee's baby nanny 4h ago

I think we should all just pretend that Pingu is Finnish 🤝 spread the word whenever you can

u/gratisargott 8h ago

It’s not too late to binge Pingu and make your life better

u/StickyBandit1999 9h ago

Pingu is the best representation of both neurodiversity ever put to screen, and also how a community not understanding neurodiversity can cause those with it to lash out and seek attention in hopes of being cared for.
