I can't believe they literally wasted 1/3 of the final clone wars season on this embarrassingly bad filler arc

The arc was supposed to be Ahsoka and her new Han Solo-esque love interest. But it was changed to the sisters because he felt to similar to Lux Bonteri.

> doesn't really does anything bad to Grievous
He kills like 1 Jedi knight, Nadaar, and even then he was only knighted like 3 hours prior. The rest of the series has him fight Obi Wan for a few minutes a season and then skulk around on a ship bridge talking shit but never delivering. I'm pretty sure you could get like 2 hours straight footage of Grievous just running away, there's a full fucking episode of just Grievous running after he fucked up and failed to both kill Eeth Koth and Obi Wan. This is a far cry from the terminator-esque Jedi hunter Grievous was in both legends and Genndy Wars

>No point in stopping just before the finish line.
I just didn't feel like it was worth my time watching it. Felt like that arch went on forever without going anywhere.

So, like I said, he has the same characterisation, he is just less seen killing. And most of the time, he doesn't run away, but toward the enemies.

Being less seen killing doesn't mean different characterisation. Grievous's characterisation in the 2D show wasn't just "kill lots of Jedi". There was more to it.

>I just didn't feel like it was worth my time watching it
Well, it is, try again. Just skip this arc and start at episode 09 of season 7. Just know that during the sister arc, she learn about Maul and decide to join Bo to capture him on Mandalore.

> he has the same characterisation, he is just less seen killing
His whole character is based around his killing and prowess in battle, he's supposed to be a bloodthirsty Kaleesh warrior driven to further hatred and bloodlust after his attempted assassination and reconstruction
> Grievous was a quick study and eventually came to be recognized as one of the most skilled duelists in the galaxy... Grievous killed many Jedi, and led the Confederacy to victory in many battles. Quickly gaining a reputation as a savage, merciless brute as well as a tactical genius
CGI Wars Grievous gets thwarted at everything he does except kicking some squatters out of his house, he barely ever kills to the point where I think Maul, a character literally ass-pulled from the dead, kills more Jedi than the "Infamous Jedi hunter" Grievous. If you had a Friday the 13th remake where Jason just stands ominously in the dark with his Mask on but kills like 1 person for the entire film its not the same fucking character. Grievous' main traits are supposed to be his tactical genius, his ruthlessness, and his aptitude to kill magic warrior monks, and he shows non of any during the CGI Wars.

user, let's not bring this up again. Stop deflecting the criticism and accept once and for all that Grievous was poorly handled in TCW in comparisson to the previous appearances.

>His whole character is based around his killing and prowess in battle, he's supposed to be a bloodthirsty Kaleesh warrior driven to further hatred and bloodlust after his attempted assassination and reconstruction
None of that is contradicted in the 3D show, still very obsesses about killing Jedi.
>CGI Wars Grievous gets thwarted at everything he does except kicking some squatters out of his house.
Most of the CGI show is about the republic winning against the separatist, up to the final where they are completely thwarted. Grievous having to retreat is not just not for him, bit for all separatist commander throughout the show, including Dokuu. That still doesn't stop him from winning agaisnt the Nightsisters, though.

>Stop deflecting the criticism and accept once and for all that Grievous was poorly handled in TCW
Except he wasn't. the only actual distinction that has been established is that he is seen killing less. that's hardly a characterisation difference.

Plus, he is far less prominent in the CGI show. completely phased out in the end. Saying he was made a joke is lacking objectivity.

Yes he was a lethal assassin killing machine, that is what made him an enjoyable character in the Gennedy show.

Can someone explain the appeal of Gendy Wars?

I can appreciate it from an artistic standpoint but TCW is superior in terms of plot.

That it happens off-screen doesn't make him a different character. He was in the end less used, but I do'nt think it's objective to say he was done dirty.

This arc could have been good if it wasn't for these awful, annoying, out of place looking two characters. Make some single character, who is more grounded, and to whom Ahsoka could relate more on a personal level, so it could have had some impact. Not these absolutely retarded tumblerinos, who dump spice midway.
It used to be a single character, a guy, but then they swapped him in the last moment and did not even tell the VA. I am sure it's Disney's doing.
At any rate, The Siege of Mandalore is the only thing that matters.

>Can someone explain the appeal of Gendy Wars?
Style and aesthetic. Like watching a ballet, except they kick ass instead of dancing.

Implying to skip Bad Batch is fucking criminal.

They're alright, but nothing outstanding. I'd rather have Delta Squad, desu.

Only fun bit of that was Trench getting BTFO again by Anakin.

Savage has a better K/D ratio despite only having two seasons
Grievous ultimately was the lowest-level main villain, which kinda blows - I feel he genuinely could've used a moment like the kidnapping of Palpatine from the 2D one

I feel like the whole 'Jedi are out of touch' theme could have done much better than it was, seemed tacked on at the last minute

Did the Separatists ever win a proper battle in the entire series?

But that wasn't even the worst arc in the season. The bad batch arc is.

They basically never did. So singling out Grievous on that is a bit biased, I think.

The Maul episodes were all very weak IMO, had a very contrived feel to them as if writers were more focused on bringing him back for fanservice rather than telling a good story. This includes siege of mandalore and the Rebels appearances.

>I feel he genuinely could've used a moment like the kidnapping of Palpatine from the 2D one
I feel it's better that way, so it can basically be considered the events of the 2D show is still what happened while Ahsoka was on Mandalore.

>This includes siege of mandalore
wew

> None of that is contradicted in the 3D show, still very obsesses about killing Jedi.
Yes it was, there were multiple instances of Grievous having captured Jedi or being in positions to kill them and he just never does it due to incompetence. Ahsoka and Eeth Koth should be dead, Obi Wan should have been dead 3 times over with the amount of times Grievous has had him trapped, Anakin should be dead after luring him to Skytop Station. Grevious fails each and every time because he is turned from a cunning general into a blithering retard, which is changing his character. Even if you want to argue he runs away in RotS, that's because he has just lost loads of forces in his hail-mary attack on the Republic, Dooku is dead, and he is fucked in terms of being outnumbered so all he can do is retreat, he should not be running away from everything in the first year of the Clone Wars every time he is faced with a Jedi. Having a character who is defined by his ability to wipe the floor with Jedi, and then him never killing Jedi on screen is a contradiction. Saying he kills Jedi off screen or in third party material like books or videogames is not a valid argument, its pulling shit out your ass.
> Most of the CGI show is about the republic winning against the separatists
Yes, but that does not stop Grievous from killing Jedi along the way, but being ultimately thwarted. Instead Grievous talks a big game, gets spanked, then his ship blows up while he shakes his fist, this is not the Grievous from either Genndy Wars or the EU prior to 2008, it is a fundamentally different character in terms of ability and traits.

Yes actually. Grievous did win the battle against the republic during the arc where Ahsoka took care of the younglings.
The seperatists also won the battle against the nightsisters. Other than that I think they loose all the time.

How did Order 66 work? How did every Joe clone suddenly know who Darth Sidious was? What was the litmus test to determine what a Jedi was? Why did Ahsoka count if she had already quit?

I think every single force user besides Anakin and Sheev were to be executed.

>and he just never does it due to incompetence
Not to incompetence, no.
>Obi Wan should have been dead 3 times over with the amount of times Grievous has had him trapped
Obi wan beat Grievous, user.

> Grevious fails each and every time because he is turned from a cunning general into a blithering retard
None of the times Jedis survive is due to Grievous being stupid.

> Even if you want to argue he runs away in RotS, that's because he has just lost loads of forces in his hail-mary attack on the Republic
Every time Grievous retreat in the 3D show is because he know he is being outnumbered, it's the same, there.

>Saying he kills Jedi off screen or in third party material like books or videogames is not a valid argument
It actually is. Grievous is not a villain on which the 3D show actually focus much.
>Yes, but that does not stop Grievous from killing Jedi along the way, but being ultimately thwarted.
But that's what is established in the 3D show, even if it happens off-screen.
>Instead Grievous talks a big game, gets spanked, then his ship blows up while he shakes his fist
No more than any other villain in the 3D show, Dokuu included. Once again, singling out Grievous for that is biased.

They still considered her a Jedi.
