Quote:Juliette, as Juliette, could have been an action character. In s01, without knowing what was going on, she got gun training (and was good at it) and scored a better hit on an attacking siegbarste than Nick did. If Nick had told her what he knew that first night she found him in the trailer and she had been able to learn along with him, they could have built on that from the beginning. If nothing else, we could have avoided that entire s02 amnesia arc, because Juliette would have known that Adalind was a hexenbiest who had tried to kill Aunt Marie.It wasn't till 2015 that the other shows introduced a number of female action characters. You had Daisy transformed into Quake. Laural Lance was resurrected into the black canary. Even Thea was put through the Lazarus Pit and became Speedy. It was also the year that Juliette became a hexenbiest. until 2015 I don't think Grimm had plans to introduce a female action character.
Season one Juliette being unaware was a normal progression of the character. As Nick told her once she did become aware. How could he introduce her to a world that he did not understand. As I posted in an early post. I see season two as the show parking the Juliette character because they had brought three other characters into the group. By season three Juliette was in the know and now part of the group. Then came season four, this was around 2015 and the introduction of female action characters on the other competing supernatural shows. Juliette progression also follows the story arc of these characters. The Black Canary joined a group and became evil. She later repented and rejoined the group. Skye as Quack also joined her mothers organization, only to later comeback to the group at SHIELD. Even Thea joined her dad helping with his evil plans. Only to later rejoin the group. By watching what the other supernatural shows where doing and getting high ratings. It is no wonder why Grimm would not follow suit by creating Eve. If look at the speedy character on Arrow you see why Grimm introduced Trubel. You will also notice by 2016 they female action characters no longer where center stage. Which is when Eve recovered from the stick and became more of a normal person. For anyone that thought Grimm was unique. Watching other shows you see Grimm follows the trend of what sells.
