    I honestly think the clones barely talking makes them much more intimidating and cool. The newer clone wars does a good job at making them more relatable and human, but this one makes them out to be some of the best soldiers. I mean, when you think about it, they were genetically engineered and raised their entire lives to be the best soldiers possible, and that’s exactly how they’re portrayed here. They don’t talk during battle because they don’t need to. They can assess the situation, formulate a plan, communicate that plan, and execute it without saying a single word. It shows how capable they really are.

      They definitely did nerf him. But the jedi he fought were weakened from days of running coupled with the fact that he was a new type of foe who wielded four sabers. He had the element of surprise and fear on his side. Dooku trained Grievous, but he's no match for a master if they don't fear him and know what to expect. Which is why we see him run so often.

    I also wished they had brought back Durge. He was such a interesting character in Legends and was kind of OP too.
    His backstory offers more context than what we got here. Dude HATED both Mandalorians and Jedi but hated the former much more due to what they did to himself and his mentor.
    Durge was one of the best bounty hunters in the history of the Star Wars. Also note: his species can live longer than the likes of Yoda's for god's sake!
    Not only that, but can heal too. Similar in vein to Wolverine but can bring back lost limbs like a lizard. Basically, he was immortal but still can be killed if you know what you're doing!

      No offense to Grievous, but Durge's brutality and unpredictable nature have him outmatched; too crazy still to be put in charge of your troops. Durge is who you send to face the Jedi Top Brass.

    I remember Dave Filoni saying he regretted making Grevious so similar to Epsiode 3 and not gradually having him start out like how he did here as this terrifying unstoppable killing machine that slowly over various battles became weaker and more cowardly as time went. God I remember seeing this and being so excited for Grevious in the movie and he was such a huge let down. Utterly pathetic. I hated it. And I still do. Grevious got owned by Gungans in the show for christ sake. Honestly, Lucas has great ideas but then his execution for some of it is so shitty. Here you had one of the best villains in a cartoon and then in the movie and follow-up 3D Show you treat him like trash.

    • @Aoitetsugakusha
      @Aoitetsugakusha 2 года назад +24

      Agreed. Probably the only character who got treated worse in Episode 3 was Dooku himself. You have a legendary real-life actor playing the role, and he's pretty well-built up in Episode 2 and this series as well, and then you kill him off in the opening scene of the movie.

He used his anger to disarm Dooku and that was it, Anakin allowed himself to go further and kill Dooku when he shouldn't. Anakin did to Dooku what Luke refused to do to Vader and was never able to turn back.
      It was the first time Anakin killed someone that was absolutely not a threat. It was the stepping stone for Palpatine to blur the lines between the Jedi and Sith and twist Anakin's perception. What happened in the books is irrelevant as it's not what Lucas intended with the character.

    Combine the 2 and you have the definitive Grievous. This one is just a mighty warrior, the 3d one has the mind and sadism times ruthlessness.
