Quote:The modern hero is what used to be called an anti-hero. To find virtuous heroes like the ones you need to see you'll have to switch to the Hallmark Channel.
Not at all. A virtuous hero isn’t necessary on this show, in fact, it doesn’t fit without being pounded into place. However, an effective leader is necessary. But the creative team is willing to forego effective leadership and responsibility for an entire season to deliver a whoop-ass action scene of a Grimm and his stick for the finale.
Any comments of Nick lacking ethics was directed at his behavior compared to the labeled bad guys. Nick and Renard are much more alike in their methods than contradictory, only differing in one’s action being excused because of a label while the other’s is condemned because of a label.
Remove the labels and Nick keeping his interest in how Diana is connected to the prophesy from Adalind is the same as Renard using Adalind and Diana to further his goal. So, no, I don’t have a personal need for the central character to be a virtuous hero, only to not pretend that he is.
