If Oswald isn’t already playing Sofia since day one, this is gonna be the dumbest and unrealistic plot ever since the ugly Isabella mess.

My theory would have been that Jim and Oswald were gonna team up against her later, if they aren’t already doing it (You’re always one step ahead Oswald. *winks winks*)..

I remember Robin recently saying once again that Jim and Oswald were two sides of the same coin, and she’s obviously using that, playing them both via their weaknesses, aka using the dark side of Jim to manipulate him, telling him sad stories about how his father is a ruthless and cold-hearted person since she was a child, and the soft one with Oswald via the motherly card, saying that she admires her father, and loves Gotham city as much as he does.

I mean… exactly.

This little scheme of making him dumb and innocent then pure evil and intelligent is getting really boring, they can’t throw a character so important like Penguin off the cliff just because they can’t find a plot different from what we’ve seen in the past seasons, everyone trying to dethrone him just a couple of episodes after he’s content with what he has achieved is so season 2 i can’t even. 

I want something fresh, something that will slowly cook throughout the entire season just to blow off on the last episodes, i kind of like Sofia, she’s a great character in personality and plans, but come on, i’m sure they could have found a better way than split gotham in three again to make a plot. 

They will change his hair back to the usual when he “realizes things” and becomes freak clever and proud™ i can bet my life on that.

FINALLY. A POST THAT NAILS IT.

Also I echo @toriirdzpersonal tag… Where tf is Scarecrow!???

I’m gonna be honest, I’d like to think that he’s already playing her, but according to what the cast has said at the last con, it’s a possibility that he would let Sofia get to him at first, and that’s the problem to me. I’m not satisfied with this characterization and writing choice at all, even if he ends up “wining” against her, or whatever else.

I don’t know what I’m expecting here from the producers/writers here (not much anymore), but i would have thought it’d be logical that he wouldn’t buy Sofia’s tricks. Especially after what happened with Ed, and even more after having witnessed the whole Liza and Falcone drama back then in season 1.

I’d have thought that the point of the season 3 finale when he tricked and froze Ed was him standing up for himself, but mostly being back at this acting game (throwing a fake tantrum etc…), and his old tricks to get his way.

I don’t know, it’s like every single new plot from that show is pointless, and that they’re basically just recycling the old ones from the early seasons, except that this time they’re kind of meaningless.

They already have butchered Ed characterization/character in the past, especially by making him “falling” for Isabella (cause let’s be real, not only it destroyed Nygmobblepot, and that was pretty much the point apparently, but it was also a very stupid way to destroy them, it was ooc for Ed and not credible at all.. the Ed from the early seasons, the one who tricked Jim, the one who was in Arkham and who saw Strange’s “works”, would have never bought this. No matter how much he would think that this would so called “redeem” him in some way for Kristen’s murder. He would have been 100% suspicious and super paranoic), so I’m not eager to see another unrealistic plot if that’s the case for what they’re doing/about to do with Oswald.

I also feel like they’re heavily hinting at a possible wedding between Sofia and him (maybe this would be the reason why Ed is gonna mock Oswald in 4×08, according to the spoilers), but I really doubt that Oswald has/will have any sort of romantic feelings for Sofia whatsoever. This.. can’t… be… And we saw that he clearly still has feelings for Ed anyway (he referred to him as his “one true love” in the past after all, so I don’t think those have vanished into thin air, even after what happened).

About Scarecrow, I think we’re far from being done with him, and that we’re gonna see him again. They’re definitely not good at handling that many different plots at the same time, cause they often never refer to what happened recently when there’s a new episode, so it feels super odd/off every time, as if those would have been forgotten while there’s already some new ones to deal with.

To me what feels even more weird is Oswald not mentioning Ivy..We know that she’s gonna come back later in the season, but yeah.. Like i said, it feels weird when they’re doing that.

What really hits me the most is the obvious statement that they can’t control more than two plots at a time; it’s a new world and a new universe every time a new episode comes and it bothers me beyond words. It’s like taking a cleaning sheet to start all over.

That being said now that i think about it they pretty much sum the intelligence and capacity of Oswald’s power in the actual storyline with only Ed, at least a tiny bit, what happened to the guys that interrupted the Lounge opening? What happened with the knowledge he had from previously encountering Liza and revealing that between a sweet face and “good intentions” there’s maybe something else? At least Oswald’s innocence with Sofia would be a little believable if he was distracted looking for the ones that interrupted the opening AND sprayed him with the fear toxic, come on, by this time he sure would have known about Scarecrow.

It bothers me that one of the characters with lots of screentime is that manipulated by the own writers.
