So, real talk. I am a new viewer, just started watching with this world cup and liking it quite a bit. But penalty kicks seem a bs way to end it. It seems like the type of thing I would have found intense and exxtreme when I was 12 but just seems so arbitrary now.

Are PKs generally considered a good, legit way to decide ties, or do they seem lovely to other people too?

Also, why are they called penalty kicks? There's no penalty as far as I can tell?

It's not a good way to end a game (unless England is involved), but better than the alternatives.

They're taken from the penalty spot. Some call them spot kick. Mock these people.

penalty kicks are psychological warfare

They're the white-hot fire in which REAL football players are forged, and in which the weak are broken by the stress and tension.

They're taken from the penalty spot where in regular gametime they're given to one team to penalize the other team. That's why
They used to just lead both teams behind the barn and shoot them if neither scored in 120 mins so i'd say it's an improvement

Shut up DUMMY
PKs are just the mini game to finish the main game if the main game is tied. They have strategy too, they aren't a total lottery. More random than open play? Sure. Sports have tons of random poo poo that determines the outcome though, it isn't all skill, the way the cookie crumbles amiright?!

Judging by your avatar, think of it as a college football overtime. You didn't get it done in the time given, so here is some extra, starting here, and try to score. (two overtimes pass with the same score) Okay, people, you really need to lose or win this game, so now you have to go for 2 after a TD.

Is it the best, or fairest? Probably not, but they get 1/3 of the regulation time extra to try to decide it like the game was meant to be. There comes a point where you need to change the rules so it isn't 0-0 in the 700th minute, like this game seems to be headed.
