Edward Nygma feels like the person who needs someone to be his friend, someone who would actually play along with his little fun questions and someone who actually appreciates his job. Because honestly, I feel sorry for him
Andy Pham I could see him in Arkham 15 years from now, with Ed speaking through the bars with a plastic cup in hand full of beer: Jim: Hey, remember that Viper serum when I first started Ed: That was fascinating stuff. Jim: Thank god that never came into anyone's hands again Ed: Another round of checkers? Jim: Oh, no. You always beat me with that sneaky trick of yours. Like a nostalgia trip: In a insane asylum.
You know, he's really good as what he does and enjoys sharing his information. Unfortunately, even as such a pivotal player, he's not appreciated or respected. In fact, he's made to struggle in an increasingly corrupt environment which becomes the foundation of the attention and acknowledgement that he seeks.
Every second Cory is on screen, he just blows me away. He's always 100% invested in his character, the facial expressions, hand motions, creepy little flicker in his eye, he's complete utter perfection as this role
Also something that I didn’t know from a different comment section is that Cory may have copied some Autistic traits and brought them into Ed’s character too
Yep. Likewise. I would NEVER respond to having the piss ripped outta me by saying "Roger Dodger" though. But then I've never had Kristine Kringle in my bed. Nor kissed Isabella and Leslie Thompkins. *considers saying Roger Dodger more often in the hope of attracting Leslie Thompkins*
I so bad for this dude. He is decently friendly and really kind. He only needs someone to converse with who is almost as smart as him. He really isn't doing anything wrong, but people act like dickheads to him. I wish one of them would just play along. Hell, even having just a single friend of any kind may have been what could have saved him from becoming a villain.
the little smile when he found the finger in the guys mouth is cute. also, I like to think ed is neurodivergant. lack of social cues, fixations of riddles and mysteries, notices things normal people wouldn't and incredibly inteligent
Fr sorry for late comment but I’m re watching & on season 3 Bullock tell Nygma , Since before you went insane, still never liked you Nygma, & made me not like Harvey as much after lol
Ed is adorable. I feel so bad for him how the others cut him off all the time and walk away leaving him there standing alone. In other back stories of his character they tell how terrible his childhood was too. That was part of the reason why he became the Riddler. Another part was because nobody ever appreciated his intelligence. (This would be later on for this series of course.) I wish they made a female character similar to him so he could have a chance. (I do admit I have a crush on the Riddler.) I think this character deserves more respect but I suppose that's the way he became what he is now in other media material :/
Well is season 3 he meets someone names Isabella they form a relationship and the best thing is she enjoys his riddlers and weirdness and she doesn’t care that he’s crazy and has killed many people but penguin was jealouse and killed her! I liked Isabella
@@pumpkinbagelpatch he would end killing her himself,like he did with the mrs.kringle(?),she looked dangerously like her,he had known her for like a week and had already almost hurted her,i think that if it was him who would have killed her he wouldn't forgive himself
+Nathan Johnson That made me sad. He was so happy when he was able to help out at the GCPD, those couple of times that his co-workers acknowledged his contribution, and then he spiraled.
He was the best part of Gotham, I loved seeing all the little clues even from the beginning that he was unhinged: the state of his notebook in the very first scene, the way he loves all the little details of a gruesome kill, the smile on his face watching the police station devolve into chaos. His character was done so well.
Notice Ed's agitation when Gordon solves his riddle. The one thing the Riddler hates the most is when people answer his shit right,because it takes the power away from himself and he no longer has something that they want and only he knows. When he asks you a riddle he really only wants the wrong answers so he can feel superior to you,so he can be right and you be wrong. Dude is twisted.
+EspeciallyTheLies I think the reason why he got upset when Gordon got it right on these clips. Was because the way Gordon answered. He didn't make much eye contact and the way he answered sounded like he didn't see the riddle as much of a challenge.
Most heroes weren't outcasts before they became heroes at least not completely But as we see here Nygma doesn't have anyone who approves of him and add that to the fact he was heavily abused as a child by his father after the death of his mother then yeah Bruce Wayne Clark Kent Barry Allen Victor stone ect All had someone in their life Edward didn't
Madison McGuff thats the direction taken by Batman the animated series ( 1992). Some of the villains like Mr Freeze, Mad Hatter and Baby Jane were given sympathetic backstories. Interestingly, although Batman still carried out justice for their crimes he was still compassionate in his approach. Thats what I loved about the series. I hope Gotham takes a similar vein.
Ed reminds me a of a girl in my class with aspergers. Hyperinterested in his work and his field of expertise, really intelligent in almost a robotic way, is relatively slow to pick up and social cues, but he still means well and attempts to be friendly when he smiles. Also goes really into detail when explaining things to other people. It’s hard to look at the Riddler as a villain here if you just think he’s an autistic guy - I actually think he’s kinda sweet.
KawaiiSakura98 The good news is that although Edward will eventually become The Riddler under Batman's timeline, he will change his ways later in his life and becomes a private eye.
Believe me, if he was real you wouldn't like him because you would never give yourself a chance to meet him because society made him look like a weirdo, so you would probably knock him down, too...ah, society
Why do I get the feeling that all it would take is a few people telling him "good job" or "that's brilliant Ed" every now and again to avoid him becoming a narcissistic sociopath?
Olivia Drambarean You spell it wrong. Only the Riddler in the TV show (and a few others) are spelled Nygma. My real name is Nigma. Look it up. Enigma. You understand?
+Edward Nigma yeah I know what an enigma is. I just thought the writers of the comic books changed it to a y so it would still have the same effect but be less obvious. Also I searched up his name and on google it popped up spelled Nygma not just for the tv show but also the comics....but I'll take your word Ed.
I could watch him for hours he is the best riddler by far. I like Carry but he was to over the top. This guy fines the right balance and that smile is hiding something more sinister behind it.
Johanna ღ Nygma is a guy who likes riddles and acts like a master strategist. He doesn't act like a a crazy guy making jokes all the time like Jim Carry did.
i love how nygma is casually better than sherlock. with sherlock, he takes 30 mins in complete silence to figure things out. nygma makes silly remarks in an urban space in around 5 minutes while he giggles and enjoys his job, even observing things not even sherlock could notice (as fast).
Whenever I see nygma I smile. He is really innocent guy, I cant believe he will be a bad guy. But riddler maybe only batman villain without evil intention
Mr Freeze has no evil intention. He just wants to save his wife. But, Ed only wants to be appreciated and seen, and his way of showing that is through violence, cus that's the only way he can get the attention he craves.
Kind of similar with Catwoman.. she's not diabolically evil she mostly just enjoys toying with Batman and all though she comes off as non caring and non sympathetic she actually is just misunderstood and guarded do to her past
His plotline teaches a very important lesson. Murder cures autism, people. But seriously, it was so frustrating that our neirodivergent representation sweetroll had a 180 character turn into the maximum adjusted charmer, like :\ seriously. I bet it's just easier to write him like that instead of working his original persona into the showman villain role.
DOES ANYONE ELSE JUST THINK ED IS PERFECT IN EVERY WAY!? His looks, his smartness, his adorkable ways like dream guy XD (except that he's a murderer BUT HE ONLY DID THAT FOR HIS LOVE AND THEN BECAUSE HE WANTED TO) like why did Ms.Cringle not fall for him quicker he is amazing, AND I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THE RIDDLER HE'S MY FAVE!!!!! And the joker ya know but whatever because Edward Nygma is my huspand
chizoioioi re-reading my comment just made me cringeeee 😂😂 I was going through a Ed phase; I mean I still flipping love him but Jesus I needed to calm down 😂
Finding someone uncomfortable to interact with doesn’t mean active dislike. Ed kinda reminds me of this one guy from a biotech-forensics course I took - super obsessive, never sat still, weird hobbies, odd sense of humor, and very little grasp of social cues. The guy was weird and hard to interact with, he almost effortlessly made people uncomfortable, but that didn’t mean everyone disliked him. He was a decent enough guy; you just had to be very blunt with him. He was still learning what most people know instinctively from the time they’re very young; most of our classmates kind of knew that and tried to be patient. I see a lot of that in Jim’s interactions with Ed - that patience. Same with Captain Essen. Virtually everyone else just insults him or treats him badly for not already knowing this stuff.
Oh, Ed. He's so entertaining and, in my opinion, deserves a bit more screentime. I love how much joy he takes in watching that girl die from Viper/Venom. I'm still wondering about the video games, though. Maybe he was lonely from playing video games by himself.
Dwarf Fortress? I read that's a construction game, but I first assumed that it was a strategy game. It could possibly be both, I guess. Also, have you read the Sherlock Holmes novels? Er, stories, Sherlock only had three full length books. I haven't read my collection in a while.
harvey was so unnecessarily rude to him :') i loved s1 ed the most tbh.. he was sweet but misunderstood. the pre-riddler version of him has a special place in my heart..
Hahahah.... Thank you so much for uploading :) I *love* this guy as the Riddler. He is actually kinda hot but the mannerisms and the "I-am-creepy" hair do very nearly kills it. To top it off, his brilliance in Gotham is so seriously under-appreciated. He's this oddball that everybody seems to take for granted. And those scenes with Kristen Kringle!!! I laughed so hard! He tried to flirt and it turned out so futile xD I know that feeling :'( Honestly he's probably the only real reason why I'm watching Gotham. I can't wait to see more of him :D
everytime i see edward i feel so bad for him, he just needed someone to understand him the way he was and instead they were mean towards him, my boy deserves better
I love the Riddler and there’s so much untapped potential with the character. A dark version that is still comedic in a messed up way. Not joker crazy, but smarter. Like a less gruesome; more comedic jigsaw.
poor Ed....he doesn't deserve to go through that. actually, now that I think about it..... me and Ed have a lot in common; we love riddles, we both wear glasses, love science and blowing things up and I won't treat him the way every one else at the GCPD does (because 1, my parents taught me better. and 2, it's just plain mean.)
Cory Michael Smith is a great actor to the Riddler, he gave his touch of sophistication, charisma, and with how handsome and sexy Cory is, the Riddler was for me the most attractive character in Gotham
Für mich ist Oswald Cobblepot der Genialste. Ich habe mich in ihn verliebt. ❤❤❤ Wenn mich jemand nervt, nerve ich ihn mit Rätseln. Ich liebe die Raterunden vom Riddler.
Nygma has got to be one of the most tragic characters on the show ok yes he's a little weird but he is so Kind and Caring and everybody shrugs him off his love for Ms. Cringle is genuine and I hate when she gets pissed at him when he tried to help I loved the scene when he brings her watermelon such a poor poor guy :(
Nygma developed a sort of.. imaginary friend that was evil in its ways because nobody would be Ed’s friend, eventually he went completely mad because of his loneliness and pain
all the times he coulve said "damn good job, let me know if you find something else" he was just like "JUST CALL ME YOU IDIOT!!! lol of course he went bad
Edward Nygma feels like the person who needs someone to be his friend, someone who would actually play along with his little fun questions and someone who actually appreciates his job. Because honestly, I feel sorry for him
Like Jim?
Andy Pham I could see him in Arkham 15 years from now, with Ed speaking through the bars with a plastic cup in hand full of beer:
Jim: Hey, remember that Viper serum when I first started
Ed: That was fascinating stuff.
Jim: Thank god that never came into anyone's hands again
Ed: Another round of checkers?
Jim: Oh, no. You always beat me with that sneaky trick of yours.
Like a nostalgia trip: In a insane asylum.
Look at the expression on his face when Jim solves his riddle. Reminds me of how sharp Bruce is in the movie.
You know, he's really good as what he does and enjoys sharing his information. Unfortunately, even as such a pivotal player, he's not appreciated or respected. In fact, he's made to struggle in an increasingly corrupt environment which becomes the foundation of the attention and acknowledgement that he seeks.
i like riddles i got one foryou i see without seeing and darknes is my only temper who am i ?
Yes, I know he's going to become a mass murdering egomaniacal criminal, but damn do I love Nygma.
thats what makes him great
Cory is so hot
He’s not really a mass murdering not his thing
Thx
He’s more of a jigsaw killer kind of guy. If a hostage fails his riddles they die, that’s how the Riddler plays the game.
I always felt so bad for Edward even in the comics and games. He's so smart but so unsocial that nobody understands him...
That does seem to be the problem.
This is exactly how I feel.
nobody gives him a chance :(
Seems that nobody noticed your name. I like it.
Hes still a piece of garbage in the arkham games F those trophies
He just needed a friend...
+Sethamphetamine I HAVE FRIENDS! Be quiet!
I guess Riddles count as friends now...

To top it off, his brilliance in Gotham is so seriously under-appreciated. He's this oddball that everybody seems to take for granted. And those scenes with Kristen Kringle!!! I laughed so hard! He tried to flirt and it turned out so futile xD I know that feeling :'( Honestly he's probably the only real reason why I'm watching Gotham. I can't wait to see more of him :D
Yes I love how at 0:44 he is just sneaking around the corner my friends compare me to him all the time
Agreed. I have a crush on the Riddler in general but this guy is the best live action Ed. I think he is adorable
The Thot Cult Productions yeah hahaha thats my favorite part
Edward is so gorgeous..I want him as a Friend.. he has a fantastic intelligent mind
I can't be the only one who thinks he looks like idubbbz.....
J. D that's my exact thoughts. He's a bit healthier looking tho and more good looking. :)
kc kay
Edups looks more like Arkham riddler
*that’s* why i love him so much
don’t ruin it
J. D totally
aww he is adorable! and he loves to play videogames! like me.
everytime i see edward i feel so bad for him, he just needed someone to understand him the way he was and instead they were mean towards him, my boy deserves better
gosh i love him hes so skrunkly
The Riddler and Scarecrow are my two favorite Batman villains, for different reasons.
S R the Riddler is my favourite
I love the Riddler and there’s so much untapped potential with the character. A dark version that is still comedic in a messed up way. Not joker crazy, but smarter. Like a less gruesome; more comedic jigsaw.
Ed just need a friend... and need more appreciation for his work because he's a goddamn genius and helped the GCPD a lot.
He really is one of the highlights of the show in my opinion
I love love love this guy as Edward.
the undertone of creepy that steadily grew was done SO well
poor Ed....he doesn't deserve to go through that. actually, now that I think about it..... me and Ed have a lot in common; we love riddles, we both wear glasses, love science and blowing things up and I won't treat him the way every one else at the GCPD does (because 1, my parents taught me better. and 2, it's just plain mean.)
also I like video games just as much as he does :)
Cory Michael Smith is a great actor to the Riddler, he gave his touch of sophistication, charisma, and with how handsome and sexy Cory is, the Riddler was for me the most attractive character in Gotham
Für mich ist Oswald Cobblepot der Genialste. Ich habe mich in ihn verliebt. ❤❤❤
Wenn mich jemand nervt, nerve ich ihn mit Rätseln. Ich liebe die Raterunden vom Riddler.
hes the best and everyone treats him like trash
I've always had a soft spot for Nygma, especially since we are very very very similar. What a wonderfully done charecter.
poor Ed he's so bad at making girls like him
+Martin Lagunas Hes just a typical nerd.
the hottest nerd ever xD
little did we know...he's gay
Lucia Osuji nope
Edward Nashton More like an idiot. Walter White was a nerd and was badass
I forgot how dorky and adorable he was is season 1. I am fascinated by how he changed. I can't get enough of him :D
He's so misunderstood
God the acting in this series is great! I got to start watching this.
Nygma has got to be one of the most tragic characters on the show ok yes he's a little weird but he is so Kind and Caring and everybody shrugs him off his love for Ms. Cringle is genuine and I hate when she gets pissed at him when he tried to help I loved the scene when he brings her watermelon such a poor poor guy :(
i dont think theres a word in the english language to describe the feelings that envelop me whenever nygma does literally anything on screen
I love how Jim is the nicest person to Nygma
As much as I love the Riddler Ed that we have now, boy, do I miss this Ed.
Kristen didn't like him bc she's ableist 💪🏼💪🏼
I like how all his scenes has green lighting xD
Bullock has a big role in the birth of the Riddler
No wonder he becomes a villain... They treat him like shit.
Madeleine's Paige Exactly what happens to school shooters; they get bullied and snap.
@@bboybolt8193 very true.
Nygma was the best character in the show. He was so smart but socially awkward but he was loyal to the team until he snapped. Sad story
Great choice as Actor!
Nygma developed a sort of.. imaginary friend that was evil in its ways because nobody would be Ed’s friend, eventually he went completely mad because of his loneliness and pain
Oh Nygma...can I adopt you?
+YingFaDono No. I don't think that you are worthy. Can you prove that I am wrong?
+Edward Nigma LET ME TRY
YingFaDono
One simple test:
When you need me, you throw me away.
When you don't need me anymore, you retract me.
What am I?
+Edward Nigma an anchor
YingFaDono
Google, your friend and helper.
Man, I feel bad, 'cause we all know where he's headed....
Him and Paul dano! The best riddlers
He and Sherlock might get along fabulously...if they didn't strangle each other.
I love Nygmobblepot ♥
Get out.
They have an entire fanbase on Twitter
+Edward Nashton They do??
10:03 First sign of Riddler peeking through Nygma
Yep. *sigh* So awesome :D
I feel so bad for him i just wanna jump through the screen and give him a hug.
that HUG he gives Gordon hhhhh
he was,,, so cute back then
hes helping em so much and detective is just like "AHHHHHH shut up" lol
all the times he coulve said "damn good job, let me know if you find something else" he was just like "JUST CALL ME YOU IDIOT!!! lol of course he went bad
You treat somebody as a monster long enough, they become a monster.
Yes. Ich mache selbst gerade diese Erfahrung.
It's so weird going back to see how he used to be after seeing him come full circle in season 3
Looks like he's about to make a Content Cop on the Batman
If someone treated me like this I’d be out the door like that
Do you play video games??
Ed..Don't EVER! Do that again!
I would totally befriend someone like him. Highly misunderstood, extremely intelligent, but loyal.
I want to hug him.
I know right?
