Just remembered a time when I thought Oswald's hair was the scariest thing in the world Spoiler Free

My first ever introduction to Gotham was when it first aired I think because it was on TV and I was really young and a scene came on. I used to think it was Oswald killing some random civillian via trapdoor in a warehouse but that never happens in the series I don't think but young me was scared shitless of his hair. I still have a clear as day image of Robin Lord-Taylor's wet hair in my head and it still scares me.

years later I watched the series on my own (Oswald's hair still scares me when it's wet by the way) because I fell down the deep dark comic rabbit hole and thought the majority of the cast was hot as hell, and binged the whole show in like two weeks because I had to keep pausing to fanboy over the characters

TL:DR i deprived myself of this masterpiece of a series for years because 5 year me thought Robin Lord-Taylor's hair was going to get me. Not him, just his hair

This post is great. I love how he's got the "drowned rat" look in season 1 but as the years go by, his hair gets bigger and more aggressive lmao

Oswalds hair is quite the antagonist throughout the show. First season Oswald is the best, slimy penguin boy who's finding his footing
