It's terrifying how you can visibly see in this scene that he's not even trying that hard (obviously he's still trying but you know what I mean), because he wants to torture them for his amusement. Scenes like this are what make Grievous terrifying. He works best when he's depicted as a sadistic hunter. He lives for the hunt and the thrill that comes with it.

[@rya3190]

You forget, the CIS was a relatively effective military force, thanks in large part to Grievous. He could breach defenses and killed MANY Jedi. The show typically focused on Republic victories, showing him against the best of the best and...his own cockiness. But when he was serious, really only Council members (or leveled) Jedi, or overwhelmingly numbers could force his dualing hand.

[@matthewbibby8921]

​@@zigzaghyena... I mean... I agree that Grievous was done dirty, but we're talking about The Clone Wars here. It's not like they hold their punches the rest of the time lol

[@Dazzalingfossil6040]

@@matthewbibby8921 Not only that, but The clone wars was a mature kids show. Which means while it was dark and mature a lot of the time, it was still for kids at the end of the day. ( But adults could enjoy it too. ) Plus, The clone wars was a Star wars story, star wars is a story of good vs evil so of course the villains are gonna lose most of the time. The jedi are the good guys/girls while Grievous is a villain so of course he's going to lose most fights against them. You can't kill off every protagonist character whenever they fight a specific villain just because some people like that villain's design better. That would be stupid. That's why I always resent the opinion that 2d Grievous is better than 3d Grievous because he is a villain, as a kid I never once wanted him to win and he's no supposed to win because he's evil. Like what did people expect? Watching a cartoon where a villain fights a hero and expecting the villain to win is like watching a fox fight try and a wolf like who do you think is win?

[@PulsarPrime]

Grievous shouting run shows how psychotic and crazed he really is. It's like he's high on murder. Screaming "run" at everyone because he knows he's going to kill them all. It might seem weird him telling them to run, why would he want them to escape, until you realise he's doing it because he knows they can't. It's sadistic and I love it.

I love how, not only is Grievous really menacing here, but this scene really recontextualises a lot of previous scenes with him. We see him cheat with his arms here, despite clearly not needing to, since there were several times in the fight where he could have killed her instantly, yet chose to keep the fight going. This makes scenes like where he cheats against Nahdar Webb and Eeth Koth seem ad though he didn't actually need do to win, he just chose to reinforce the hopelessness of his opponent. He very clearly doesn't care about proving superiority in combat.

[@thahoule7924]

I mean, is it really "cheating"? By that logic, the she "cheated" by using the force to make her blades lightsaber resistant in the first place as well. And every other force wielder would be "cheating" as well. I dont really think either is "cheating". Force users use their tools to their advantage, Grievous uses his tools to his advantage.

[@dmaxwell910901]

@@thahoule7924 I can't argue with any of that tbf. I'd say he was "cheating" by some definitions, though really there's no such thing as cheating in battle, outside of some kind of agreed-upon competition.

[@darthbronchitis3802]

Grievous does care about proving his superiority in combat, just not against foes that are so clearly beneath him, like Nadhar and this Nightsister. He "cheated" with Koth primarily because he was trying to capture him, rather than kill him. Since the guards standing next to Grievous didn't move in to protect Grievous when Koth pushed him, it would seem like Grievous deliberately let that happen to create an opening; with Grievous seemingly having his guard down, Koth would get tunnel vision and move in for the kill, creating an opening for the guards behind him to zap him.

What makes this so good imo is that they’ve gone back to what made grievous so badass in 2003: they treat him like a horror movie monster The first thing we see of him is his first kill, and from that point on he says nothing, just cackling and laughing occasionally as he fights the nightsister and watches the others get killed. On top of that, you can tell from how he picks her up and throws her, only to let her pick her weapons up again whilst laughing to himself, that he’s toying with her and letting this fight drag out for his own amusement… And the cherry on top is how insane he sounds as he repeats “RUN” to Morgan over and over, that combined with how awesome his voice sounds makes him look so awesome and threatening here, it’s such a shame we didn’t see this in the clone wars and probably won’t see much more of this in future content either

So this is what Grievous can do when plot armor isn't getting in the way.

[@EChacon]

*THIS!!* is how you handle General Grievous compared to his shoehorned, wasted and unnecessary appearance in the Young Jedi Arc from Season 5 of _Clone Wars._ It's also a bit unfortunate that seeing Grievous new character model, make it very unlikely we will get the unfinished Crystal Crisis and Son of Dathomir arcs in completed animation which is where Grievous was a badass and played an actual role and purpose

[@samuelketner1391]

His appearance in season 5 was lit

[@EChacon]

@@samuelketner1391 I disagree and In all honesty Grievous was just added in the Young Jedi arc as another "Bantha Fodder" threat beside Hondo Ohnaka and his Gang, compared to Grievous' role in the 4th Season ("Gungan General and "Massacre") and the unfinished "Crystal Crisis" and Son of Dathomir arcs where he played a role and purpose. All Grievous did in the Young Jedi arc was launch a Surprise attack against Obi-Wan Kenobi's Republic fleet, took over the Ship only for him to flee when Obi-Wan planted a bomb on the ship then he returns to Florrum and launches an invasion and telling _"We're taking over the planet by orders of Dooku"_ why if you were fleeing from a rebublic ship that was about to self destruct. Even I'm disappointed their was no dialogue between Ahsoka's fight with Grievous along with the fact that Ahsoka, The Younglings, Hondo and the pirates never fighting off Grievous forces cause literally it felt like a heist escape leading to Grievous just gloating in victory laughing when our Heroes Flee. At least with Season 4 (e.g. Gungan General and "Massacre") and especially in the unfinished "Crystal Crisis in Utapau" arc along with the "Son of Dathomir" arc respectively, Grievous played an actual role and purpose in those two arcs, compared to his shoehorned wasted role in the Young Jedi Arc where he was just "forced" in that arc cause the writers were spinning their wheels to drag the arc into 4 parts and felt that Hondo and his Pirate gang being the Antagonists "weren't enough" to be a threat to Ahsoka and the Younglings. On top of that, Young Jedi along with Onderon and/or to a lesser degree D-Squad didn't need to have 4 episodes when literally Young Jedi should've been a stand alone episode or a 2-3 part episode arc, and literally the Young Jedi arc really didn't need General Grievous, regardless if it tied in to the Season 5 premiere of "Revival" when Hondo mentioned to Obi-Wan on Grievous wrecking his base.

[@samuelketner1391]

@@EChacon Crystal crisis I do not see as canon in its proxy animation unfortunately, making season 5 the last time obi wan and Kenobi fight until the movie. Him being there on behalf of dooku to payoff what was setup in season 1 was great. Him fighting ahsoka again was also a good pay off from season 1, showing ahsoka's growth and yet she still couldnt hold him back fully.

[@EChacon]

@@samuelketner1391 It still doesn’t justify Grievous shoehorned inclusion in the Young Jedi. So at the end of the day his appearance in Young Jedi was still unnecessary compared to his roles in Massacre in Season 4, the first episode in Tales of the Empire and the unfinished arcs for Crystal Crisis and Son of Dathomir.

​@@Newt.--.JaedenOne thing Dooku has disliked about Grievous is his cocky attitude. When he fights serious, he's a force of nature, with only highly skilled masters of fighting can have a hope in victory... When he plays with his food, he often underestimates his opponents. But then, we mostly saw the Republic victories in the show, not the battlefields he decimated.

[@dannyboi5887]

​​​@@Newt.--.Jaeden The Gungans are legit skilled warriors armed with weaponry that are a hard counter to anything mechanical, which includes Grievous.
