Unsure If I Did These Panels Justice But Little Riddler Redraw Because I Missed Him :-)

Evil Jay is Kinda a Sad Character, but Maybe Not in the Way You Think

When a lot of people think of the inherent tragedy of Post-Merge Jay, many of the common things they point too is the loneliness, isolation, and loss of everything he used to care about due to his amnesia. With good reason too, because its not just tragic how he used to have a wonderful life and he can't remember it or how he's in the worst possible position right now (alone and with a Shattered Soul, whatever that may entail), but its also tragic because everyone that cares about him are powerless to do anything to help. Even if they find him, I'm confident that its not gonna be as easy as a heartfelt reunion.

Something that I don't see many people talk about that I think is rich in that sweet, sweet angst and drama is the fact that right now, nobody wants Jay for who he is. It's an idea I've been thinking about a lot, and kinda why I'm so interested in the concept of this "Evil Jay".

What I mean about that is this... Nya and the other Ninja want the Jay they knew from before the Merge. Ras only wanted Jay to further stack the deck against the Ninja in the Tournament. Arin only wanted to go after Jay because he could have some insight on where his parents ended up after the Merge. And presumably, the Administration only wants/wanted Jay because he was a good enough Agent to get promoted to middle management.

The consensus of many fans seems to be that Jay has trouble with how he sees himself, but what about this version of Jay? When one of these parties eventually finds him, do you think they're gonna ask him how he's been or what he's been up to? Or do you think they're gonna try and get him to do something for them, whether that be giving up some information or becoming someone he doesn't remember?

Ras sees him as a tool to be used and discarded when needed, Arin sees him as a means to an end, The Administration most likely sees him as their property, and the Ninja see someone who he doesn't even remember being.

At this very moment, no one wants Jay Walker for who he is.

hannigram but make it scriddler

I see Frak on the Ninja team, I go insane. I think about Arin for two seconds with this new knowledge, and I go insane even more. Thank you and gnight.

Did you guys watch the same series as me???

Jay is a damn cockroach who never dies by the magic of the script no matter how stupid he is and Zane is the first to jump into action and say "I'lL sAve yOu aLl"

Spoilers season 3

It's so great to come in and just pose in front of the team even though he didn't do anything

The way he hid like a bat 🦇

I READ THE EPISODE DESCRIPTIONS FOR PART 2 OF SEASON 3 what.. WHAT

HEADCANNON:

The riddler is actually Tim’s favorite rogue bc Edward Nigma was one of the only adults that would ever talk to him when he visited Drake industries with Jack. He would let Tim hang out in his cubicle and tell him riddles that made him think and when Tim would excitedly blurt out the answer he would smile and give him a sticker.

I'm still not over Jay's name.... Jay Walker...

One of my favorite things about Jay is how he’s always the first one to resort to crime (featuring one of my favorite Jay clips)
