I'm surprised you'd compare Nick to him. When did Nick ever take the loner path to fighting, like his mom and aunt? When did Nick ever solve a crime by himself? When was Nick ever shown to be a street smart cop? I can tell you. Never.
Right of the bat, he was given a network, not of supporting characters but of peers who in, most instances were more intelligent and saavy than he was. You may think of them as a bunch of tontos, it's apparent you think Nick is A number 1. But when I compare him to the protagonists I've seen on television, he just doesn't measure up. Being part of a team is his strength. That puts him on the same footing as Monroe as Juliette, as Rosalee, even as Hank and Wu. It does not raise him above them.
You say if he died the series wouldn't go on. I'm saying that if he didn't have his network of peers, he would have been gone long before cancellation. Don't forget, he had his powers taken away from him with little to no effort at all.
I’m not going to respond to the tirade of Nick hate. I’m just happy to observe that other members of this forum reject the complete untrue and arrogant claim that Nick was not the protagonist /lead character in Grimm. If you where right, it would have been a big blow to NBC and Universal Studios, who would have to withdraw all Blue-rays and DVDs so they could change the show description and remove the big pictures of Nick on the front cover. It would also have been a disappointment to David Giuntoli. If you google “grimm lead role” your first hit is David Giuntoli’s Wikipedia profile. That would all need to change, to replace him with Reggie Lee (Wu) and Bitsie Tulloch (Juliette).
