Oscar is picked typically because of the adorable factor and also for being refreshing (since not only is Oscar not just a main character that is destined by the rules of fiction to be paired with, but he's actually younger and more timid). Ozpin being present is apperently a big turnoff for people, but I don't see it as a big problem since Oscar is (thus far) his own person with his own feelings and thoughts separate from Ozpin, and could probably butt Ozpin away if he gets too bothersome.

Personally I don't personally invest in my theories too much as all that does is make one stubborn and refuse to see other possibilities (kind of related to my annoyance at the phenomenon known as 'passion' and 'intense investment'). I agree about weiss.

I figured it was because Oscar is timid, it's ashame really. The same reason people like babies and tiny children, despite them actually being quite disgusting and a absolute bother. It's all it takes to win people over xD

Well hows this for thought, i considered in another theory that Ozpin would eventually take complete control of Oscar's body and Oscar would disappear based on how v1 Ozpin wasn't the first Ozpin and we saw no traces of foreshadowing of another personality in volume 1-3 (despite blake referencing it when ruby ask her about the book she is reading in volume 1 about "the man with 2 souls fighting for control of his body".

i believe the only reason they made him so adorable is so they can hurt everyone when Ozpin reveals "the truth" That regardless of his family and life before Ozpin ,Oscar is basically not his own person and will slowly fade away; the "true curse". (find the theory on Oscar's disscusion board)

I mean if the other personalities don't disappear then why aren't there like 80 years worth of people in Oscars head?(Ozpin + every other person he reincarnated as? There should be a minimum of atleast 3 considering vol 1 Ozpin and Oscar isn't his first bodies)

When you really think about it, they only need Ozpin, not Oscar. With or Without his concious. And of course it would be horrible writing for this fate to happen to someone who isn't important. So the 'character' Oscar was created as a vessel for ozpin's return and nothing else.

Then again Miles and Kerry might just ignore that all together. I would love it if they went that route.
