Gotham Season 2: 10 Awesome Moments (And 4 That Sucked)
6. Edward Nigma's Personalities Merge
Nygma also underwent a metamorphosis this season, albeit one a little more slaughter happy than Jims. During season one, the character was arguing with himself in the mirror and those arguments eventually twisted into conversations. With an ensuing kill under his belt, he gained a new-found confidence. Edwards well on his way to being a much cooler version of the character that Jim Carrey once made fun off while he hypnotically gyrated in spandex. His nonchalant demeanor throughout the ordeal of getting rid of Kringle and a passer-by, whilst also incapacitating the wounded Penguin, was true to form of the characters improvisational skills. The line Im afraid this is as proper a burial as circumstances will allow was an absolute zinger and Im surprised he didnt pour out a little liquor for her, like a psychopathic Shakur. Riddlers second, confident and murderous persona forced him to follow a crazy riddle to obtain Kringles hidden body (in the GCPD morgue, no less) and, upon succeeding, the personalities did a Fusion Dance, with Edward accepting that getting away with murder is awesome (please dont quote me on that, FBI, AFP, CIA or any other legal authorities with acronyms for names). Its good to see they didnt keep going with the Jekyll and Hyde implications because seeing someone yell at the mirror is a daily routine for me. Nygma keeps the compulsion to give away clues, however, because hes a metaphorical masochist and the dumbest smart criminal that youll ever meet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nH5H0oBTgq4
