      @@VinVonVoom Nope. The simple reason is because when this show was in production George Lucas simply said "Grievous is the general of the droid armies who carries jedi lightsabers as trophies", and Genndy took that idea and ran with it. Unfortunately midway into the second season George revealed that Grievous was supposed to be a _pathetic Saturday Morning Cartoon villain_ , and Genndy decided he'd compromise and make up something about Mace destroying Grievous' insides with the same technique he used to tear Super Battle Droids apart and break his windpipe to match the movie Lucas had just finished filming.

    Grievous in 2003 and also in his comic appearances is my favourite Star Wars villain.
    Revenge of the Sith was... ok.
    It wasn’t his movie and he was only a side character made to be killed off, just like in canon.
    But 2008... oh man.
    Look how they massacred my boy.
    The retcon was a disgrace.
    He lost all the attributes that made him threatening, he lost his backstory that actually made his position feel justified and rather tragic.
    He turned into a literal saturday morning cartoon villain with a personality to match.
    They invented plenty of other fodder characters so why did they have to ruin him?

      Usually when people make statements about Grievous, or how he's portrayed in each medium (EU, movie, TCW) I half agree half disagree, but I'll be honest by saying you summed up my thoughts exactly and I absolutely agree with everything you said.
      Damn shame this comment hasn't gotten more traction, but I guess it's not technically a popular opinion, so there's that.
      Seems people often forget that Grievous is mortally injured during the events of RotS and the reason he acts differently is because of that, it's not fair to judge someone so poorly based off of the last few days of their life, especially if that problem is he's simply recovering and trying not to die in a weakened state.
      It's also overlooked that RotS has like, 12 fights in it, with its runtime and Grievous not being the main antagonist, the content of his fight suffered severely for it, same with Dooku after all.

    Another thing to mention about that fight with Grievous and the Jedi: he didn't care about the fight.
    Let me explain:
    1) He didn't say a single word. He only talked before the fight began where he promised the Jedi a warrior's death. He didn't even go on about how the Jedi were foolish or stupid for what they stood for or for fighting him. He just brutally killed each and every one of them, except for the one that got away.
    2) He didn't show any emotion during the fight. The Jedi were fighting for their lives and were afraid at a few points. Not Grievous. He had a straight face the entire time. He didn't show glee when mercilessly killing the Jedi. He didn't laugh when he slammed the guy's head into the floor or while he was effortlessly overwhelming Shak-ti (probably butchered her name).
    3) He didn't show his full power. It looked like he was overwhelming Shak-ti without much effort even though Shak-ti was trying everything to gain the upper hand. And that's not to mention that he could've used all four of his arms, but he didn't. He only used two and even then he mopped the floor with the Jedi. I'd like to interpret it as he didn't find them worthy of him using all four of his arms.
    That's what I'd have to say about the matter. Grievous didn't care at all about the fight. He didn't enjoy doing it, he didn't hate doing it, he just did it. And that's what I think is scary about him.

    If you want actual war and nonstop action, Tartakovsky's Clone Wars is the Clone Wars for you.
    If you want clones to have character and go a bit more philosophical, Filoni's Clone Wars is the Clone Wars for you.
    In the past I've said that Tartakovsky's is the better of the two, but I've come to realize that they've become too different from one another to really say one is better on the whole than the other because they have two very different goals.
    But if they don't change anything about the battle of Coruscant and Palpatine's capture in this Final Season of Filoni's Clone Wars, then I argue that what we see in Tartakovsky's still happens because that chase through Coruscant and that train fight is just too awesome to retcon, -which then makes Tartakovsky's the better of the two.-

ONE other I remember that you didn't mention was the episode where they meet the aliens.

    @capsuletunic7589 4 роки тому +1

    Clone wars 2003 was a great show. Like you said, the action is fantastic! The only complaint I have about it is that their is very little emotion. Sure, Anakin taps into the dark side in the Ventress duel, but it was all about the war. The clones, the very people the show is named after, are treated like droids. But it has a niche, and it makes it masterful.
    This is, in contrast, to the now canon clone wars
    While the other one was jam-packed with emotion. The duels aren’t about what happens, it is what builds up to them. Old enemy’s fighting again (Maul v. Kenobi), A master seeing his apprentice’s accomplishments (Maul+Savage v. Sidious) and two pawns fighting to see who is better (Grievous v. Ventress). The emotion was there, in just one episode you could go from cheering to sadness. While 2003 CW was bumper cars, Canon CW was a rollercoaster ride of emotions.
    In conclusion, both series have roles that they perfect. The action for 2003 and the emotion in the Canon. If both creators collaborated to create RoTS, it would probably contend for movie of the year in 2005.

It's almost certainly a callback to Return of the Jedi, when Luke did the same exact thing against Vader. The difference of course being that, afterwards, Luke calmed his rage, while Anakin relished in it.
