One of the things that isn't really touched on too much is that When he's about to trash the city for the last time, Oscar is actively listening to the reactions from Seoul. I feel that in that moment, his plan on attacking the city isn't to get back at Gloria, but to get some sort of reaction out of someone. He had stopped being cheered or feared.

Doesn't the movie explicitly state something just before this? Gloria says "You don't hate me, you hate yourself" or something to that effect. It's not that he's lost control of Gloria, but that he never had any control over her or his life at all - exemplified by the bar.

No, i think Gloria understands/appreciates that her drunken drama is loving poo poo up; from the first time she drunkenly falls down on she knows people are at risk. Thing is, Oscar doesn't care.

She understands, but also doesn't stop drinking. She care ("cares"?) but doesn't do anything of meaningful change to stop it happening.
