The grimm who owned the books had a great house--what kind of pension do cops in Austria get? Not that much. One of the stories was signed by R. Kipland, a writer. My comment did not say young Kelly would avoid violence, just that he could be whatever he wanted.(02-11-2018, 09:08 AM)eric Wrote:(02-11-2018, 08:30 AM)irukandji Wrote:Really, its that the best you can come up with? Nick was a cop, Marie a librarian, Porter's job is unknown, the guy who had the books in storage-not sure what his profession was, but his house was impressive, I doubt he was a cop. Young Kelly is about 20 years old, probably still in college, could be in construction, working for Uncle Bud, who knows. Truble apparently had a limited job history, caused by lack of education and moving around a lot. Grimms have varied job histories, depends on the person's education and interests.(02-10-2018, 06:37 PM)eric Wrote: You may see Nick as cookie cutter. Tell me, what other cookies like him have you seen with his powers surrounded by these opponents on TV or the movies? This is a fantasy and a rare one at that. His profession could have been cop, homeless vagrant, collector of rare books, librarian. Those are just the ones we saw in this show, without doubt there are more. Cop probably worked best for this show.
When I say Nick is a cookie cutter character, I was talking about his character in the series, not in comparison to movies or other television series. Think about it. If he wasn't, wouldn't he be versatile enough to handle any profession? Yet he is not. Neither is Trubel or either of the Kellys. They're the not so smart brutes who's only real power is being able to see a wesen woge and to wipe out any wesen they deem is offensive. That's it. That makes them suitable as a police force, soldiers, or mercenaries.
We were told Marie was a librarian. Maybe she could pull it off, I don't know, I'd have to see that one. However, none of the others could, you know that. Even you yourself indicated Nick's profession would have to do with crime.
Tell me how many grimms Nick ran across that were foremen in a warehouse or businessmen, CEO's or mechanics. How many did Nick run across that opted for non violence toward wesen? I can tell you how many. Zero.
