I HATE how Ed lied to Isabella and to himself when he insisted killing his ex was an accident.
Yes, killing her was an accident, ok.
BUT WAS AN ACCIDENT ALSO CUT HER INTO PIECES, BURY THEM IN THE WOODS WHILE CELEBRATING ALL OF IT WITH A GLASS OF WINE?
Thank you for bringing this up. Ed had notĀ been honest about all of that and what killing means to him. That was weird behavior. Like, really freaky behavior to bury her in the woods and then celebrate it. Most murders are committed out of necessity in gotham and the bodyās are dispatched without flairā¦what Ed did was really chilling especially since people do this in real lifeā¦
it kind of would take a person that fed his step siblings to his stem mother to be understanding of that behavior⦠Not a librarianā¦Ā
@rose-for-dead-aliceĀ said: āYāknow what fascinates me when it comes to his mental state. He
went from it being an accident, to enjoying the game and even telling
himself and later on Oswald that basically she was a gift to him to lead
him on a new path of his life. Then later on he seems whatever about it
and then later on he seems to go back to considering it a horrible
accident almost like it wasnāt murder, like he had nothing to do with
it.Itās interesting.
Just like when he thought Butch killed
Isabella he was just so gleeful about murdering him, like no big deal.
Then he found out it was actually Os who did it and he canāt even fantasy kill him, he has to take time and just mentally destroy him but
not kill him.
His feelings towards these chicks are very complicated.ā
ALL of this. No, cutting her up so sheād fit in a box and having a picnic with said box was not an accident! Letās also donāt forget how Bad Ed put Kristenās hand in a vending machine, either, to play games with Good Ed, and the two Eds both live in the same brain. No librarian could ever understand this! Ed is a killer who keeps souvenirs; murderers do that when they enjoy the act of killing so much, they want to re-live the murders over and over.
Oswald is the one who truly accepts Ed.
And yes, a thousand times yes-Ed flip flops about Kristen; he insisted to Oswald (when he called Oswald about Kristenās glasses) that he really truly loved Kristen. Remember how angry he was when he asserted that he loved her? Kinda like how angry he gets when someone calls Isabella Isabelle. But yes, he also talked about how Kristenās death was a gift.
Iāve never bought that Kristenās death was an accident, but āpart of Edā seems convinced thatās what happened.
Yeah. Even though he gave that whole speech to Jim about embracing who he is, heās still lying to himself.
Itās kind of a parallel with what happened to Oswald when he got out of Arkham. Obviously Edward hasnāt been trying to be a good guy, but he has been trying to recapture some of his old life when he was more innocent (i.e. revisiting the GCPD, pursuing Isabella). And, like with Oswald, someone he trusted killed someone he cared about.
@danniruthvanĀ Wow, thatās right-Oswaldās stepmother, who he trusted, killed his dad; thatās a parallel to Oswald killing Isabella, from Edās point of view.
So we saw Victor just a few minutes but what Iām most hyped about is, that now itās totally clear Oswald kept his promise and helped him. No betrayal between them.
Yes!! I was just talking to some friends about this. Victor seemed pretty happy with Oswald, which means he followed through on his promise to provide him with resources for his research! God, I would kill for a scene of Oswald going to ask Victor for his help and getting to see him doing some sciiiiience!!
Please, please writers let us keep this. Let us have some nice Oswald/Victor moments!
I loved both the performances here.Ā Cory got to show us this utterly destroyed Ed; with his intelligence gone he is left with nothing.Ā But Robin, damn son.Ā He managed to look like he was about three seconds from crying almost the entire time.Ā He gave us catty and heartbroken and pitying.Ā And right here, for a moment, I think he gave us relief.
Youāre not smart anymore!Ā Youāre not Riddler anymore!Ā Youāre not a danger, and look, you donāt even *really* want to kill me now that youāre not that name I wonāt say anymore-
And then in just a few moments, he realizes Ed isnāt only not the Riddler, who is obsessed with killing Os ā¦Ā he also isnāt Ed Nygma, the man Oswald canāt talk himself out of being in love with.Ā He says it.Ā Out loud.Ā Youāre not Ed Nygma.
