Quote:No, it's not. You said, "That's like saying that if Rosalee really loved Monroe, she should accept and encourage him to embrace everything about being a blutbad, including hunting down and eating humans." Rosalee never said any such thing to Monroe.
That was in response to this comment of yours:
Quote:In the other thread you wrote how Nick started seeing Adalind as more than just the mother to his son. Well, what exactly is Nick seeing? Just what he wants to see? Shouldn't a big part of what he sees include her hexenbiest heritage? If this is the great and wonderful union that produced a hybrid son, why should Adalind have to shy away?
I didn't write that Rosalee said those words. I wrote 'that's LIKE SAYING'...it was a hypothetical situation. Please learn to comprehend what you read next time.
Quote:I have a feeling that if he was a typical blutbad who went after a human now and then, she probably wouldn't say a thing about it. She certainly never brought it up while they were together, so apparently it was of little importance to her. However, it was never going to be an issue because he was a reformed vegetarian before he ever met her.
That's once again your 'feeling' aka interpretation, which shows a complete lack of understanding of the actual character in the show. Rosalee has always been shown to be a kind caring person, and she chose to help Nick fight wesen who attacked/killed humans even before she got together with Monroe. She was also against Black Claw, even though she could just as easily have supported their pro wesen cause. So why on earth would you even think/believe that Rosalee wouldn't have minded Monroe acting like a traditional blutbad and killing a few humans here and there? First off, her life would be in danger as well seeing as traditional blutbad also seem to hunt other wesen. They would never have even ended up together. Second, Rosalee doesn't mention much of Monroe's past because she has a dodgy past as well.
Quote:Next, you said Adalind controlled her hexenbiest nature because she wanted to be a better person. Adalind controlled her hexenbiest nature to prove that the suppression potion would work, not because she wanted to be a better person. She wanted the scoobies to trust her. Developing a suppression potion to help Juliette was her way of gaining their trust.
You're getting confused again. Adalind did stifle her hexenbiest powers by drinking the potion, but that has nothing to do with what I wrote about Adalind choosing to control her hexenbiest powers in order to become a better person like Monroe. I was referring to the time when Adalind eventually regained her powers as a hexenbiest. She controlled her powers even though she was a hexenbiest again in order to use them only for good, rather than for evil.
Quote:I wouldn't say the show always emphasizes that not controlling the wesen side will always lead to negative consequences. I thought the show was about Nick's effects on the criminal element. It seemed to me the only time wesen really woged was when they saw him.
Yes it does. Because the wesen who are shown to embrace their inner beast without any form of control always eventually end up attacking/killing humans and Nick has to resort to his Grimm powers in order to take them down. Even the mirror world is portrayed as a 'hell' of sorts because the wesen in that world have fully embraced their wesen nature and are acting on their urges rather than their humanity.
Quote:Going back to Monroe and Rosalee, they didn't woge in front of an audience. They had too much respect for the wesen council. But I don't recall them using a lot of restraint in woging when it came to helping Nick.
Yes, because they only used their wesen powers for good, to help Nick, they didn't allow their wesen natures to control them. They basically acted like normal humans in their day to day activities. They cherished/respected their traditions, just as long as they were ones that wouldn't cause harm to anyone else.
