And sadly, Nick could have easily been written as a male lead who woman understandably loved and desired.
Why should they have done that with Nick? That's not what he is there for he is there to fight wesen not pick up women. The women in his life including Roseale and Trubel love him a lot and respect him and would obviously do anything to help him no matter what plus I believe that Adelind and Juliette find him rather appealing This is not some romance novel it is a story about crazy monsters who sometimes eat children and how to stop them
My point had nothing to do with Nick picking up women or having any sort of love life. It was an observation of Nick, the man. That Nick would be the desired man in any triangle is not believable - other than by two female characters whose love and admiration is contrived by the creative team to support their characters’ predetermined roles in their story.
And, that the creative team could have easily made Nick a man who these women would believably love and admire by simply allowing the characters to drive the story instead of action scenes and plots driving the characters.
That Rosalee and Trubel love and respect Nick is as contrived as Juliette and Adalind loving and wanting to be with Nick. There isn’t any basis for this devotion from any of the characters outside of this contrived, fictional setting.
This opinion is certainly in a very small minority. But characters pre selected as good guys and bad guys doesn’t hold any weight with me. If I’m to believe that Nick, as the good guy/hero is somehow different/superior to Renard, the bad guy or Adalind, the evil vixen, then I need see Nick rise above the self serving nature of these supposed bad guys.
Kidnapping a baby from his enemy to protect himself/his group and because his mother wants the baby, allowing the woman he supposedly loves to risk her life for him, orchestrating a revenge killing, ignoring warnings that his son/family are at risk - are not the actions of a ‘good guy/hero’, but they are the actions that a ‘bad guy’ would be reviled for. Take away the contrived excuses and double standards, and Nick is not a good guy or a hero. But also, take away the contrived scenarios that requires Nick to do these things for the sake of the action scenes and story, and Nick could be a good guy or hero.
