Grievous
How Grievous is now? A complete joke of a character thanks to TCW, cause they wrote him to be nothing more than a constant opponent for Obi-Wan, a dumb idea because he never was able to really fight any other Jedi and when he somehow was fighting other Jedi....he either had help or he still lost. He only got one single kill in the whole series and he didn't even get it through lightsaber combat, he had to play dirty.
Grievous used to be great before TCW, he used to be a fantastic character, he used to be someone who was threatening, who used to get many Jedi kills, who used to get many victories for the CIS.
Now he is basically nothing. As far as I can tell, they haven't done much with him, but he's never getting out of the hole they already dug him.
But you know one thing that will never die about him? How amazing his voice is in performance. 😊
Not a fan of a majority of his visual appearances as I think his writing is lackluster or simply absent, but he has a interesting character literarily in both Canon (Age of Republic) and even more so in the Old EU (Labyrinth of Evil, Dark Horse's General Grievous).
Would also like to note that I think Lucas and Filoni's vision for him was poor; the writers of the comics and novels I mentioned above certainly did him justice.
In episode 3 he was this super imposing leader of the droid army but TCW just made him into a wimpy dude who got lucky a couple of times I mean his back story is he was a warrior who was vicious and brutal but TWC completely wrecked that story. I will admit that in the Tales of the Underworld series he does regain some of his threat when he kills all the nightsisters
^ In fairness, Revenge of the Sith was where he was established as a much weaker and cowardly character, not The Clone Wars. Mace Windu notes that “General Grievous will run and hide as he always does; he’s a coward.” Grievous let his magnaguards do the fighting for him on the Invisible Hand, and he abandons ship the moment Anakin and Obi-Wan corner him. And he tried to flee his fight with Obi-Wan on Utapau the moment Obi-Wan gains the upper hand. He’s never really been the menacing Jedi kill-bot he was introduced as in the Tartakovsky micro-series, at least not on screen.
True, But at least he tries to fight on multiply occasions you could argue when he's fighting Kenobi every time he flees he's strategically re-grouping I mean after the invisible hand he is the sole leader of the CIS beside palatine so it makes sense that he might try to get ut of the situation and on Utapau when he flees he almost kills Kenobi when they finally re-group.
What do you think?
