THIS is what General Grievous should've been, not the weak

Okay for real-
I was completely let down but his execution in the movie after seeing this. Completely thought they would have him be like this but fucks sake this show literally set my standard too high for the movie.

Haven't seen this for a while. Feeling nostalgic Shit Wars?

Fuck a doodle doo, RotS Grevious is the way he is because of the events of Clone Wars. Did you fuckers not actually watch the cartoon? Do you not understand the concept of continuity.

Genndy's clone wars is so fucking hard to sit through because I cannot get invested in what is happening due to the lack of characters to care about

Either the character is someone we know makes it out okay because they are in the next movie, or literal whos that can die and no one would care because we don't know them

The whole reason General grievous "sucked" or "got nerfed" in the revenge of the smith film and future CGI series was because grievous character was still being developed for the movie while genndy ALREADY had a depiction of him in clone wars. Genndy's idea of grievous was for him to be a bad ass, killing machine like darth Vader while the movie makers invisioned him as being more of a cunning cowardice

>>95136978
Thanks to the CGI Clone wars, that's not the case anymore. In the cgi clone wars, he is portrayed as being garbage long before Mace smashed him like a Pepsi can.

>>95136533
I'm sad not a single fight in Samurai Jack's last season was as hype as either of Grievous' fights.

>/co/ likes this

For all you fucks go on about character development and writing, I am pretty sure that is all a façade when I see what /co/ likes

You people like things that either A: Have well animated but mindless action scenes or B: Involve waifus or shipping. This falls into category A

You guys go all on about all the writing terms but like things that are just action scenes or waifus

This entire website thrives on being that "Smarter than the plebs" contrarian, as soon as anything has great commercial or critical success then this place hates it. But as soon as the media singles keys in you face or has a cute girl then you fucks fall for it every time.

And I'm not even specifically talking about this board, all board are like this

I don't know why I come here honestly

>>95136929
I like how Genndyfags think the canon show is "incompetent" because it does not have DBZ style fights every 5 minutes.

>>95136699
Even in the comics Grievious is OP as fuck.

>>95137302
I dearly hope this is pasta, because you know the OP is also bait pasta which must be getting on for a half decade old, right?

I love seeing people trying to defend the cowardly, jobbing Grievous, when it was pretty much only George Lucas that wanted him to be that way.

The people that actually designed Grievous, and came up with his backstory and escapades in the comics knew that having a cyborg general that collects lightsabers should be threatening.

Whenever Grievous was on the screen in CGI Clone Wars I couldn't care less because I know he's going to be pathetic. Even if Genndy's Grievous was over the top, at least there was some tension because he actually poses a threat.

From what I understand the reason why he sucks in the movie is that during the kidnapping of Sheev Mace Windu nearly force crushed his organ sack

Let's assume Grievous was the same as he was in the 03 clone wars

Would Kenobi actually been capable of beating him?

>>95136533
OP is right

>>95137042
you can be a cunning coward and still be a killing machine when cornered. you forget that grievous usually killed the padawans first as any predator worth their salt would do because they're an easy target and their deaths would demoralize the jedi masters which are a respectable threat to him

>>95137929
the problem is is that that's not canon anymore so it isn't really a valid explanation. And what's canon as that he's shit before ROTS and during ROTS because of TCW cartoon

>>95137963
Nah he was alright in the movie with his fight with Obi, even if it could've been a little bit longer/obi win in a more creative way, it's how he jobs in most other scenes.

>>95138044
>shit
He fucked the hell out of kit fisto and his apprentice, massacred the night sisters, out maneuvered Anakin, captured Eath Koth and outsmarted 2 jedi masters and a knight.
Y'all need to learn there is more to battle than brute strength.

>>95136533
You're 10 years too late to be discussing this now, OP.

>>>/tv/

>He is still better than most Jedi in TCW
>/co/ thinks he is incompetent because he isn't killing whole armies without thinking about it

I want Genndyfags to leave

They should have went with spray bottle grievous.

>>95137963
Kenobi is the most defensive lightsaber duelist in the series, he's really the only one capable of defeating grievous without using copious amounts of force ability. (This is also why obi-wan gets his shit thrown around by dooku. Dooku just says fuckit and throws him with the force rather than fight him.)

>>95138043
>you can be a cunning coward and still be a killing machine when cornered

He's literally like that in the show, though. He kills a bunch of people in the series, including Jedi knights and Nightsisters.

>>95138443

Exactly, Genndy's Clone Wars is basically an anime version of what actually happened.
It's cool as hell to watch, but it's an overly exagerated version of everything and everyone.

>>95136533

I don't know how old all you guys are but back when the movie was in production (2004) it was directly stated that they literally were not able to pull off a fully cg capoeira Grievous with technology being what it was back then. Capoeira/Gendy Grievous was definetely the plan up until that point. That's why he is a complete badass doing capoeira with all four limbs and jet boosters in Labyrinth of Evil which was meant to lead right into Episode 3. The chest crushing and cowardly grievous in III were last minute decisions. Yeah, the last episode of Gendy Clone Wars did the chest crushing thing. But people should stop acting like cowardly Grievous was always the plan and Gendy stuff is just some DBZ-tier elseworld that was never going to happen.

>>95137386

Yes, the one hour lightsaber fight on Mustafar was a lot better.

>>95136533

Star Wars hater here. The cartoon Jedi were pretty much anime ridiculous, and Grevious had to be over the top to match it.

Star Wars is shit.

I find it funny how one of the main criticisms of the prequels is that there is so much thrown on screen that you can't comprehend it all. And then this show turns that up to beyond 11 and the people who made that complaint love it

>>95136533
I was more disappointed in TCW Grievous. It was clear people were disappointed by him in the movie and they had the chance to take a happy medium between the lame movie version and the overpowered Genndy version. Instead they just turned up the ineffective saturday morning cartoon villain aspect of him.

>>95137302
>Writing is the only thing to judge quality of a cartoon on
You're a fucking moron. There's more to what makes something good than good writing, action scenes, and waifus. In Clone Wars case it makes up for weak writing with immensely powerful atmosphere. Genndy gets shit now due to Samurai Jack's ending, but the man knows how to frame shots and use sound.

>>95136860
>Omae wa mou shinderu!

>>95137825
I remember seeing a behind-the-scenes video on the creation of Grievous, and I think Lucas actually asked the artists to come up with something "threatening". Or something along those lines. So I'm not sure why he changed his mind during the actual movie.

>>95136907

>>95136860
This was how Jedi should've been portrayed though.

I think this is why people like Genndy's Grievous more. I'm supposed to believe that this General Grievous is a huge threat to anyone? Let alone any individual Jedi Master? I like thinking of Grievous as a new threat that takes the Jedi by surprise and can contend with the very best of them, two or three of the very best of them at Grievous' peak.
This just feels underpowered, like Grievous isn't a threat at all. Savage Oppress kills more people onscreen in Clone Wars than Grievous does.

>>95141187

>rebels

The only reason they don't hate Rebels is because Hat Man is still the showrunner, it could be the exact same show and have a Disney guy as lead and they'd call it worse then AIDS like everything else made in the Disney era.

Instead of blanket hating the prequels, they blanket hate anything made by Disney. It's not somehow better.

A highly trained augmented super-soldier with four arms and laser swords that can use his feet for hands should not ever give up the upper hand to fucking gungans with spears. He's supposed to be fucking dangerous, yet they can't seem to decide whether or not he's actually good at killing shit. I'm not saying he needs to be breakdancing around looking like a living rave but fuck man he should be more threatening in general.

>>95141258
/swco/ loves rogue one and most people have come to accept TFA to the point where there is no use complaining about it anymore, and most people are hopeful for TLJ, there are alot of anti-disney autists who come to shit up the thread by copy and pasting things from /tv/, but everyone knows that disney doesn't make star wars anyway they are just the parent company that owns lucasfilm.

Grievous is supposed to be dangerous, not some unstoppable uber badass.

Yes he's a cybernetic warrior but that doesn't mean he can just fight off an entire army without breaking a sweat. It makes perfect sense that Tarpals stabbing a pike through him would make him vulnerable to being disabled and captured.

He is plenty threatening, he's just realistic. Unlike Genndy Grievous who somehow takes on 5 Jedi Masters, a Jedi Knight, and a Padawan.

>>95141342
No he doesn't. The first time they meet Ahsoka is on the run the entire time and barely escapes

the second time(when Ahsoka's much more skilled and everything) she still barely escapes and isn't really a match for him

>>95141265
I came here to say this. I only really got into Star Wars this year through TCW so I didn't have much of a bias and while watching it I found Grievous as threatening as you can possibly make a villain who's only ever pitted against protagonists with such thick plot armor you may as well place all your suspense and worry into your favorite villains and troopers on the show.
He really only jobs just as much as the rest. Hell, he has a higher kill count on screen than Ventress if I remember correctly.
>>95141342
That didn't happen.

>it takes a jedi master, a jedi knight and a team of clones to beat grevious in TCW
>people cry about this

lol

Does Grievous stop being a clowny jobber after season 2 or something because that's how fucking far I am and I don't see anything you guys are talking about being true. Maybe I am bias because Genndy's Grievous was so over the top, but so far from what I've seen he's a fucking wuss.

>>95141464
He never becomes a ninja like Gendys but yes, they do make him more serious as the show progresses.

>>95141452
some people are too easily impressed by how unrealistic GenndyWars is and think that all star wars should be as flashy and monotone as it is

That's a nice strawman you've got there, shame if something happened to it.

>they're mad that Genndy's random guess at Grievous based on the final concept art isn't how the character actually was

Well if the character we got was as good as Genndy version was, then there wouldn't be a problem.

This is the Mr. Freeze argument all over again. You faggots do the "YOU JUST WANT TIMMVERSE FREEZE OVER AGAIN" every time they keep fucking him up, as though somehow expecting any level of quality to the character is tantamount to wanting a 1:1 replication of another version.

>>95136533
>overpowered shit
Yeah, no. This would make a killer game though.

>>95141558
>That's a nice strawman you've got there, shame if something happened to it.
It's objectively true, though.

>Well if the character we got was as good as Genndy version was, then there wouldn't be a problem.
No, people would then bitch about how Grevious was an overpowered one dimensional villain. Since he's basically unstoppable, people would just compare him to every other bad guy in the franchise, just like how people hated Starkiller.

>>95141701

>It's objectively true, though.

Just keep building that strawman, maybe you'll be able to burn Nic Cage in it if it grows large enough.

>No, people would then bitch about how Grevious was an overpowered one dimensional villain

Again, it didn't need to be a 1:1. But it could have been something better then useless Dracula robot.

>>95141265
Stop being a faggot.
That scene is retarded.

They could have just killed him right then and there.

And also by effective definition, unkillable and un-definitively-beatable, thus making any trade or concern for his well-being and safety pointless

surely being an actual star wars fan is determined by how much star wars you like, you might have better taste but if you only like some cartoon from the 2003 but that doesn't make you more of a star wars fan, at any rate that's all hypothetical and the 3D shows are far superior due to the medium allowing the emulation of live action thus making them tonally in line with the films.

You are retarded.

The version of Grievous in the movie was always the intended portrayal. The reason he's so much more badass in the first season of the cartoon is that Genndy wasn't told what he would be like, and just made shit up. The second season of the cartoon was made after the movie was finalized, and they threw in the chest crushing thing as a way to reconcile the season 1 depiction with the movie version.

>>95143927
>and the 3D shows are far superior due to the medium allowing the emulation of live action thus making them tonally in line with the films.

Poorly acted and directed schlock that tries to cover up its simplistic characters and storytelling by overusing special effects in a vain attempt to be kewl? Sorry m8 but if it is tonal consistency that you're looking for Gendy Wars is superior, mostly because it doubles down on shlockiness in an attempt to accurately translate the SW's cinematographic tone to TV-screen.

Star Wars survived decades of dumb EU(inb4 mad, I'm not saying it's all bad calm down) and the PT. It can survive the Clone Wars cartoon.

More like for several years in SW threads people would just spam RLM and how AWESOME Genndywars was and it predictably produced a backlash. Things aren't so black and white.

Not him, but I'd honestly have way less of an issue with the PT fans if they didn't act like the concept of not liking the prequels is an elaborate conspiracy created by Kathleen Kennedy and RLM to personally kill George Lucas and rape his corpse.

OMG HIS STRATEGY IS WITHOUT FLAW

I wouldn't have minded him losing the capoeira if they had at least kept the "brilliant tactician" part that made Dooku fucking recruit him to be the general who actually gave the separatists a fighting chance instead of just jobbin with their stiff droids. What I liked most of him when he debuted wasn't hi fighting, but how he turned the droid armies from complete jokes to actual threats.

>>95136533
Making Grievous a badass made sense to me.
He's essentially the leader of the Droid Army. The Droids are frail, easy to destroy, and when left alone are incompetent. So what makes them a threat? Their numbers and tactics. For what they lack in power, they make up for in strategy. It makes sense that their leader would be someone cunning and vicious. Then to make him a complete badass offsets the frailty of his men and really shows that no matter how close the Jedi get to winning, the Sith always pulls something out of their ass to offset the game. They finally get to meet the general, and he can beat you ten ways to Sunday.

>>95145436

I liked that there was a way for no-force sensitives to be able to keep up with Jedi/sith using technology, so even if they were overpowered, they wouldn't make everything else irrelevant.

>>95139793
Star Wars IS shit.

>>95141118
>>95141167
As bad as it might make Grievous look, him losing to Gungans does actually make sense in universe. Gungan strategy is pretty much all about disabling their more high-tech opponents weaponry with electroshock/EMP so they can then spear them with pointy sticks. They did the same thing to the droid army in TPM.

Welcome to the Star Wars fandom. You should have seen the shitfit people had when Disney threw the EU in the trash (despite the fact Lucas made no secret of the fact he would have done the exact same thing if he were to make the ST himself). Apparently true and honest SW fans only like the OT and a ton of bad fanfiction.

Thats how he is in the lore faggot. Why do you think hes the commander of the droid army?

>>95151271
Because he's good at command?

genny wars is not canon, a lot of stuff isnt canon any more.'

you can thank disney for that, but really thank disney for that.

Despite what others may say, I liked Genndy wars for how well it bridged the gap between Attack of the clones and Revenge of the sith. I have fond memories of watching the DVDs of Genndywars between episodes II and III when my family had Star wars movie marathons.

It's been shown pretty well by some of the newer material how intimidating Obi Wan and Vader could be without all the crazy ninja-flipping stuff.

They're just strong enough with the Force that they know exactly where they need to be, and they move there efficiently with little fanfare. Kinda like the original trilogy.

Man that hallucination sequence was GOAT

>>95141024

Probably right.

When discussing TCW, remember: the first two and a half seasons were bad with some good bits.

The rest was good with some bad bits.

As opposed to now? Where you're only a TRUE Star Wars fan if you're reading all the shitty new Disney branded fanfiction.

At least the old EU was actually allowed to tell big, important stories that actually mattered.

>>95154811
I don't particularly think the new EU is any better than the old, I just find the whole thing with the fandom arguing with itself over what's good and what's bad retarded. Just enjoy the parts of the franchise you like and ignore the parts you don't. I don't get why people have this need to try and prove the SW media they like is good and the SW media other people like is shit. It's all still going to exist whether you like it or not.

That's a thing that's almost exclusively perpetuated by "new" Disney Star Wars fans though. Go to /r/Starwars and search for Legends. Literally 99% of posts about the old EU are from Disney Wars fans talking about how stupid it is and how old fans should just let it go.....despite the fact that there are literally no posts from old EU fans saying it needs to come back or how much better it was.

Yeah, those guys put their autism on billboards.

>>95155065
Doesn't excuse that the rest of the episode was boring and didn't even show Maul and Obi Wan. It wouldn't be so anti-climactic if they weren't so hellbent on showing Ezra dicking around in the desert for 15 minutes.

This, fuck whoever had the idea to have Chopper and Erza in there

>>95155231
I don't see what's wrong with that though. They aren't asking Disney to stop making new stuff or saying how their stuff is better than the new canon, just that they'd also like theirs to be continued to at least a proper conclusion.

Making endless posts about how bad something you hate is seems way more autistic to me.

>>95155201
I'll pass, I don't really give a shit what anyone does in places I don't frequent. I just know that here, it tends to be the people who hate the prequels and TCW who post the most obnoxious straight-up
>things you like are SHIT
bait instead of actually trying to discuss anything. It's fine to not like things and explain why you don't (once again, any "debate" from these fans usually takes the form of a youtube link to RLM) but people also need to accept that others DO like them. And that doesn't make them Lucas/Filioni/Disney shit-eating cocksuckers, it just means they have different opinions.

Seems like you're describing the Disney Star Wars fans to me though, not the old EU ones. Hell in this thread alone the number of posts anti-Legends and shitty on it vastly out number the ones of people saying the new stuff is shit. Multiply that by 100 fold for the /swco/ threads.

Most Legends fans just don't give a shit about the new stuff so they don't talk about it. Like I said earlier, it's almost exclusively the new Disney SW fans that seem fucking obsessed with letting everyone know how stupid the old EU was, how much better the new stuff is and how the Legends fans are apparently constantly posting about bringing it back.

>>95155352
wdytwa?

>>95155352
This is honestly the truth.

No other fucking fanbase is so obsessed with what is canon and what isn't or how their version is better and more canon than this other stuff.

Marvel and DC had more contradictions, retcons and reboots each in the last year alone yet there isn't this divide between pre-Crisis and New-52 fans like the Star Wars ones have. I guess that even among autists Star Wars fans reign supreme.

I've been here a while and I think most people here accept that pretty much all SW media, new and old, has its flaws. I don't see any fans of TCW or the prequels ever claiming they're flawless - Even people who like them tend to accept Lucas is a terrible dialogue writer and that the TCW movie and the first season are fairly awful.

However, I do see people who hate the prequels and TCW claiming they're irredeemable 100% shit and who automatically discard any argument in favour of them. I don't ever see anyone claiming the old EU is 100% shit, almost everyone is in favour of salvaging the good parts and incorporating them into the new canon, which funnily enough is exactly what Disney is doing.

>>95139911
>I find it funny how one of the main criticisms of the prequels is that there is so much thrown on screen that you can't comprehend it all.
It was? What kind of morons can't comprehend it?

>>95155446
>it's almost exclusively the new Disney SW fans that seem fucking obsessed with letting everyone know how stupid the old EU was, how much better the new stuff is and how the Legends fans are apparently constantly posting about bringing it back.

I haven't seen /read any of the new stuff and generally stay out of these threads since the new movie came out...

But I remember hating most of the EU stuff back in the day with its recycled characters/plots and DBZ level shenanigans where everyone has a kid that's named after someone dead and they're all jedi and the Emperor comes back from the dead for the nth time and another galaxy attacks and so on and so forth.

That kind of shit is largely why I haven't bothered with Disney's new canon shit. I remember seeing some big yak creature that's supposed to be Sith/Jedi, which is some straight up bullshit too.

At this point, I'm just watching movies and playing games.

I wouldn't say "can't comprehend it" but "it couldn't make a lasting impression" would work better.

I use the ships as an example. In the OT, you had a handful of iconic ships: X-wings, Falcon, and TIE fighters that get used throughout the entire film. Everybody knows those ships because they had a chance to get exposed to them over the course of several movies.

In the PT, you have Naboo Fighters, Jedi Starfighters, and then another version of the Jedi Starfighter as the main character's fighter. Amidala changes ships every movie (sometimes twice), and the only consistent bad guy ship is the Droid Star fighter, which only appears at the end of the first, beginning of the third, and doesn't appear in the second movie. They made far less of an impression.

There were also fewer characters/locations/cultures in the OT getting the focus so each one had more time to make an impression. AotC and RotS have us hopping all over the place and a new alien every 5 minutes.

I know the PT world is supposed to be bigger and grander, but one of the side affect is that the story also became grander and less character driven.

If the OT was the story of Luke, Leia, and Han, the PT felt more like the story of the Old Republic and the Jedi vs Sith. Interesting, but far less personally impressionable and iconic.

Everything in Gendywars was dialed up to eleven: Anakin's super-spinny dogfighting, Mace Windu going Kenshiro on the droids, Yoda smashing huge-ass ships with the Force, TFU-style. Those would have never been able to happen in the movies, but in cartoon form they're feasible. Capoeira Grievous is just another example of that.

>>95155065

Aww shit, baited hard.

>>95155719
A good perspective.

Most of the EU was trash. Only three things are really important because they affected the brand in formative ways.

> Heir to the Empire
> Dark Empire comic series
> Tales of the Jedi comic series

The smartest thing to do is to cherry-pick the best stuff from the first two, and avoid fucking with the third because it's the bedrock of the Old Republic Franchise.

>Meshing Genndy's fun and cool action with a show that is literally infested with lore fags
It was destined to fail, Genndy's simplistic action works great with Star War's looks, but it's just too inconsistent if we're talking lore.

I personally love it, but I can see why lorefags dislike it.
