Quote:That would go against the happy ending the writers wanted to create. Monroe and Rosalee disapproving of their kids participating in these missions would contradict the "fairytale" overtones of the final ten minutes. They certainly couldn't be that "one big happy family" if that were the case.
I really don't think Monroe and Rosalee thought like Vito Corleone when he didn't want Michael to be involved in the family business. Like it or not, Nick's business became their business. That's why they did things like immediately checking in with Nick as soon as they returned from their honeymoon. Rosalee was still taking an active part in missions while she was pregnant as seen in Tree People. Monroe and Rosalee both see what they do as part of becoming better people so I don't think they'd be terrified at what their children are doing. They simply don't see Nick and what he does as something so horrible. Monroe has even encouraged Nick to be more of a traditional Grimm when he felt it was necessary.
I think Hell Rell clearly states the theme of the show. G & K created a singular focused story about a Grimm and ended their story with the same singular focused view. Grimm was never intended to examine the bigger picture, blurred lines of right and wrong, or conflict between manmade and natural laws. The characters wouldn’t see working with Nick or their children following in his footsteps as a negative. Grimm were depicted unquestionably as the hero, a superior race burdened with the responsibility of protector, jury, and executioner.
And while I think those missing examinations would have been interesting to watch and make hardy debates, they don’t fit the established parameters of the show.
