Oscar

Oscar is a very **misunderstood** character. He is tough yes but also he didn't. He was a complex character, probably more than you guys explored. He has a lot of layers, it was told in 'Chapter 12', he realized having a bit of a softer side, in the sense he cooled his temper a bit for Ruby & when Ruby challenged him; though losing his temper sometimes, his tougher 'mean' temper was more evened and less hostile.

He is a gang member, he was forced upon it by his family, just as he forced Caesar (his younger bro) into it. He is deceased.

In episode 1, we saw him appear by his gang, and they portrayed him as mean-spirited, a bully, a bitch, and just distant and uncaring.

He is not someone you want to argue with, but then again my father can be like this, yet I deal with him. SOOO.. let's think about him.

In Chapter 5 the main crew was on lockdown and he just happened to be there at the time. The crew decided to play a game, and when Oscar got out of the bathroom, Jamal invited him anxiously play the game. The game I believe was to name 1 person she'd marry, one person you love, and that one you'd kill. He played by his rules saying he'd kill all the boys and smash all the girls except Jasmine who he'd smash and THEN kill.

In season four Oscar prepares Cesar to come to Portland and leave the former gang the santos. He steps outside where he sees a vehicle pulling up before cutting to cesar in the house. Multiple gunshots are heard where Cesar ran outside to see Oscar wounded and a unknown gunmen speeding away. Before getting a confession Oscar died instantly.

2 notes with the previous paragraph

1. I do not understand why he said he'd kill Ruby, when in Ep 3 Ruby basically 'impressed' him, even inspiring Oscar to give Caesar a promotion with his 'gang' to again Caesar dismay as he didn't want to be a part of the group.
2. I do not why someone didn't take a stand, and say he couldn't speak to them like that, like 'I know what you are doing'. You need to call out a bully when he speaks to you like that! Another thing I question which is in correspence to all of number 2 is, he never killed any of them, when one they live in his neighborhood, and I hate to say this but two, Morse confronted Caesar and all he did was laugh, and that was just when Caesar said something 'funny' to him. Like how tough do you think you are bro! Real tuff, you just stay out of everything and STARE. Also, we couldn't forget the time where Morse started fighting Caesar (his own brother) and didn't do nothing but sit in watch 'handle it yourself' is Oscar's model but guess what fight a little ATTACK everyone basically looks at you as a threatening monster. If he ain't one, why do people fear him for he is not that? Another example, when Ruby confronted him kicking his trash can away from his foot (the one that had his foot on it). They actually became good friends.

Sometimes I feel you just have to get on this level, fight him a bit (not necessarily physically but emotionally) make valid points, yell a bit, show your anger OR toughness and he will see right through and understand. See in Chapter 12, he admitted to Ruby while they were having a grill-out "people get through shit, it makes him stronger they have to live with it." Then yelled at him for not understanding. He obviously went through some pretty tough times. That gives me compassion for him, as well as sympathy. He still to have gone through a lot, he is tough for it, very closed off (not trying to be mean) and a bit cold-hearted but for a good reason. I hope the writers go into more what happened to him, so we can empathize with his story if some of us have had a ruffer life. I know my life is hard, but not as much shit as he went through.

In general, everyone is afraid of him and I feel like everyone should really stand up to him, it will help the story-line grow, it will show him more grace and I think in his perspective maybe even a little honor that they understand what he's going through and how they're making an effort.

Whoever wrote this also forgot to include the fact that at the end of the season he is a highly nice person with a baby now so this might change things a lot.-dyour
