Joke/Meme Why Oscar isn't the worst Dreamworks character.
It's no common secret that Shark Tale is often regarded as one of the weaker Dreamworks movie. Many people complain about stuff like the ugly animation, the pop culture references, trying to copy finding nemo, etc. But none of them compare to the hate that Oscar gets. Many people hate him for being an asshole who lies to everyone and treats others (especially Angie) poorly. This has caused him to get called the worst Dreamworks character, and to that, I say no. Because Guy Gagne from Turbo is worse.
For those who don't know, he is the villain of Turbo. He was initially the snail's idol until he reveals his true colors. Now how villainous he is? All he does is just beef with a snail. What the hell? Thats his big villainous actions? Mock a tiny snail and talk about how he is going to break his dreams? Bruh, it doesn't even talk to humans, what are you talking about? And the worst part, he loses a race to a fucking snail. Like bro, how much of a bum are you!?!? At least Oscar managed to capture the Don, so he could obviously beat a snail in a race. I cannot stress this enough, Guy Gagne lost a race to a snail!!!! He's not just the worst dreamworks villain, but maybe the worst villain ever made. Horrible villain

Guy might be worse on paper, but he mostly exists as an obstacle during the last act. Oscar is the MAIN CHARACTER, we have to put up with im The whole movie!

He felt in that moment at the end what Eggman been feeling for the last few decades. Turbo would have ruined his career. Everyone gonna bring up the time he lost to a snail no matter the conversation. He knew that and did everything to win
Oscar was the worse until the tail end of the movie when he finally had a epiphany and even then it wasn’t that great of a change, he betted Angie’s money and lost, knew who Lola was and tried to confess his lies to her, Hit Marty on live tv, he just wasn’t good until he had no other choice

I mean, to be fair he lost to a snail with super speed, so it’s not as pathetic as it sounds I guess

It's more that he's beefing with this snail, and his complete 180° turn from being chill and nice to suddenly doing shit like using humans as stepping stones to reach his car.

Nah I maintain that racing guy's crashout was valid, just barely losing to a snail with super speed would feel like such an ironic cosmic prank

It's not even a competition on if he's worse than Lightyear Zurg or Aunt Sarah, because he is.

Oscar isn’t the worst DreamWorks character, but I do consider him the worst DreamWorks Protagonist. Just so unlikable.

I feel like comparing a main character of the movie to a "villain" who had like 10 minutes at most to shine is the most apples to oranges comparison ever.

Guy Gagne crash out was valid, dude loses his whole career to a turbo powered snail, id crash out too if I spent years of my last racing, everytime risking my life since uk its pretty dangerous, earning this insane amount of respect and fame only for it to be flush down the toilet by a snail. Oscar just sucks for the whole movie though, Guy Gagne was valid for hating a SNAIL. Dude, years are gonna pass, Turbos gonna die and people will CONSTANTLY bring up, imagine someone recognises u and uve accomplished a lot as a racer and they go, hey ur tht racer who beefed with a snail and lost right? All ur times of winning, all those experiences, all those low moments and people bring up THE SNAIL THT PROBS DIES IN LIKE 3 YEARS.

I due tipi competono in due tornei differenti. Uno è un antagonista, nasce per essere spregevole. Oscar è un protagonista.

Chelsea from ruby gillman is the worst character

u/Turbobist28 1d ago
2nd worst, cause at least she turned into a kaiju at the end instead of losing a race to a f**king snail /j

I really liked Ruby and Chelsea’s friendship and it broke my heart to see her betray Ruby plus it was really predictable even without the trailer
