this is a celebration of swagtastic entrances
I saw this post on tumblr the other day and I was like "....yes, that is A swagtastic entrance, but not necessarily THE swagtastic entrance?" These are spoiler-cut by show, because sometimes you wanna be surprised by swagger. I limited this slightly by saying that (a) it had to be some sort of making an entrance or impression, either at or just after the character's introduction to the audience. Very image-heavy.

Either entrance is acceptable swag. Both happening within ten minutes? BAMF.

[Game of Thrones]
Arya Stark
[Harry Potter]
Okay I don't actually have a gif because trying to search through Potter fandom is freakishly stressful. But my Potterverse nomination goes to Dumbledore. Thoughts?
[Once Upon a Time]
Regina/The Evil Queen
Fact: Misandry multiplies swag by a factor of X, where X = "number of men flung around with extreme prejudice."

[The Originals]
Marcel
(1)(2)
Possibly I should've disqualified Marcel because I'm fairly sure his first entrance is actually that screencap up there? Not that he doesn't have a daylight right, he just prefers to be carried around. This century's hottest accessory for the worthy challenger to the Original Hybrid? SWAG.

Captain Jack Sparrow
(x)I'm not sure he wins, but he inspired the list, and also? Swag.
[Supernatural]
Castiel
Electricity cannot handle his swagger. (Sourced in scrapbook?)

Of swagtastic note is the fact that you don't even notice the badass deficit that should occur, given that he's walking into a roomful of people who have spent their day discussing this:
