I always thought it was unfair both to Wesen and to normal people that the Wesen were in hiding; I actually found myself getting mad about it sometimes. Like, who wants to walk into a situation blind, and wouldn't you rather know the truth about the world even if it was scary and/or disturbing than to live a lie? Gals got picked up by the goat guys, the spider ladies died of old age super young when maybe modern science could have helped them, most crime was Wesen and the cops had no idea/went crazy, folks with absolutely no idea what they were getting themselves into got munched/victimised in numerous crazy ways, and Wesen felt a lot of self-hate navigating their identity in secrecy.
The whole "black claw" thing was a really bad thing because the the Wesen behind it were being all "Malcolm X" about it, but going public actually had some good things about it for me. What if they went about it ethically, for the good of all? There is literally no end to the creative content folks could come up with for Wesen consent laws and all kind of law enforcement, literature searches on electronic databases for Wesen-related studies, sci-fi demystification of old-world thinking, etc....
The X-Men series, Avengers series, and Star Trek series already have a philosophical framework from which to create (ex: having power does not justify the removal of rights), and it has the power to be a real feel-good celebration of many awesome things while also maintaining the mysterious, holistic-health-spice-shop feel of the original Grimm series. Not to mention that a lot of mysteries were never solved from the first series. How would a society navigate that world while making sure all rights were protected?
I'm thinking movie launch and new TV series if the movie generates interest.
