It makes no sense if Bonaparte wants to maintain a low profile by keep it open for business as usual. Yes, that always struck me as dumb. The smart thing would have been to have someplace in the middle of nowhere. But there's a reason why extremist groups seem heavy with people looking to blame someone else for the failures in their lives.

If you are setting up for a fight. You wont only those you know what they will do in the fight. Some random bystander could become a problem if nothing else distract your attention. They could even decide to play hero. Didn't your "writers intent" dictated to you about that whole precinct being all Wesen? As I recall it, the show, made it clear the whole North Precinct was not just all manned by Wesen, but all BC Wesen. I guess I was wrong.

Whether in real life or the fantasy universe of Grimm, nobody could kill that many people in a developed-world country without attracting the attention of law enforcement. If the series ever brought Matthew Hopkins into Nick's world, I don't think he would be indiscriminately killing many wesen just to live up to his reputation. The reputation would speak for itself. Whether it would have been Hopkins or some other uber grimm, I thought it would have been interesting to see a completely different type enter the series. It's easy for the series to establish a pattern of grimms with Nick and company because the ones we see are related to him.

Uber Grimm might be practical if he (or she) was doing what Nick's ancestors in the books did, traveling the world as a modern "knight errant" and taking on jobs for various government and/or criminal leaders and would-be leaders, especially in the developing world, who wanted to keep the existence of wesen secret to prevent panic in the general populace and keep their own wesen assets under control. Then there'd be influence helping to cover up activities.

Then there'd be influence helping to cover up activities. How many wesen do you suppose Marie dispatched? 50 maybe? Let's say there are only 10000 grimms left in the world at the end of the series, excluding Nick and Trubel. If each of them dispatches 50 wesen during their lifetimes, that's half a million wesen. The only reforming grimm here is Nick, and even he's killed over 50 wesen. The remaining grimms aren't reforming, so they're doing what they've continued to do for thousands of years. If they're getting away with it, why wouldn't Hopkins? He's just a souped up version.

You do not know how Marie's life was so you can not blame her for what you do not know.
Nor the word "reformed" is a quality to say about Nick, it seems more wrong.

The question for a modern Hopkins would be how to make a living killing witches/wessen. Working for the Royals, working for the Council, being paid by the victims' enemies, being paid by the locals to leave town? Renard said the wessen way was a more primal world. Who would fault the guy/gal for using their natural talents to pay the rent and afford a good life, except for the relatives of the deceased, of course?(02-25-2019, 05:48 PM)FaceInTheCrowd Wrote: The real life Matthew Hopkins ran up a death toll of about 300 people.

Following what Sean says,it would be a disaster world.Serious eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.Any. Wesen could kill another Wesen for nonsense.
