We need a Grievous tv show in 8 episodes with the first four about Grievous’s life before, as a war lord on Kalee and how Dooku betrayed him and transformed him, then 4 episodes with him during the clone wars, with his kills on Geonosis, a remake of the Hypori battle, and idk like explain that he became weak during an encounter with Mace Windu crushing his lungs at half the clone wars timeline, explaining why he is weak in The Clone Wars 3D. This could make Grievous op during a few episodes to then reconnect to the canon. And also the last episode should be focused on the battle of Coruscant and Grievous kidnapping Palpatine. Also the show could bring back Count Dooku like they brought back Tarkin in Rogue One, with a deepfake, and be focused on some interesting facts about the universe, like lightsaber duel styles and learning (something we never properly saw in live action and that could be seen with Dooku training Grievous), and also war strategy in the Star Wars universe, like Grievous planning his attacks on the Republic and Coruscant, and other stuffs like that
Coolest part about Grievous' fighting is his non-human fighting style. He's not playing with the limitations of a fleshy body, he can twist, spin, contract and grip in inhuman ways, like a martial art exclusive to him.
I couldn't agree more, Yup, I mean I love how he uses his feet as hands too, it's something much more alien. Too bad they got rid of all of that in the 2008(now canon) Clone Wars and in ROTS. But agreed, it's so unique and makes him stand out as a character, we haven't seen such a fighting style before or since in Star Wars.
Yes, it's so refreshing to see a cyborg using the full potential of what a heavily cyborg body can do. Instead of just fighting like a human but statboosted.
The thing that I LOVE about this show is how agile they made the jedi/sith. In practically no other show that I have seen have characters jumping and running around like their in titanfall 2
and the funny thing is that THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ALL OVER THE PLACE, but i get that animating them running all around and doing cool stuff is pricey
@@Suguru_Geto69 said no one ever. There's was even a physics breakdown showing the speed was slower in every regard excepting certain (short) grapple windows
It would have been so easy to just make him above average and be boring with him just being faster and stronger than the jedi by animating him faster, but no, they take COMPLETE advantage of how he is practically a full inorganic monster and it's fucking BRILLIANT
He didn't get nerfed. You just don't see him winning. Tell me this, if Grevious was so "nerfed", why did ending the Clone Wars require his death? And if it required his death, that must mean he has secured countless victories against the Republic, considering the war was 3 years long. Imagine that. Things that happen on screen arent the sole characteristics of the character!
@@TheSCPStudio I think that's the problem though. We get to see Obi-Wan, Anakin, Ahsoka, Yoda, Windu, etc... we see them all in badass sequences, but we didn't see that (often) in TCW. It should've been shown on screen, and it was one of the only major flaws in TCW because we mostly saw Grievous as a bumbling bafoon.
@@TheSCPStudio I wish we did get his on-screen victories though. No matter how I like EP3 and Other Clone Wars - Grevious is a botcher there, even if lore says otherwise.
I just love Battle IQ of Grievous in 2003 version. 1. He uses his hands, legs in battle. 2. He have turtle mode. 3. He is calm as hell, have breakdance style.
Tbh, I love how brutal grevious is here, the way he doesn't just use his lightsabers but will grab people and throw them around, it really makes him feel like something else, not a jedi or sith, like the monster he is envisioned as a legend would refer to him.
I mean for 2003 grievous killing Jedi’s are a normal thing because i believe in legions he had a room full of hundred of lightsaber meaning he probably killed a couple hundred Jedi before lol
@@ForsakenDreamer7 I don't agree Vader has mastered very aspect of the dark side in ways no one else can not even the old sith that's what makes Vader so special and powerful in canon his genius in the force is undeniable and grievous can't gain that in million years.

@@ForsakenDreamer7 in legends or canon? In both they Are spectacular by star wars standards. I don't remember all of them but I can give a few examples In canon: he never actually used the force in that situation but he once faced an entire army in a planet and he killed them all using his lightsaber alien when they were millions of people with blasters he not only dodged all of the shots he also killed them all without a single injury he also killed a monster in a size of a small Island those are some of his best combative skills he did far more impressive things using the force but in legends he also killed 5 Jedis at the same time and I mean differently than when grievous ambushed bunch of Injured,scared, and weak Jedi and still couldn't kill them all but when Vader himself was ambushed by them and he eradicated them all.
@@DakotaofRaptors they mean more. He fights the lifting force of aerodynamics. I was wondering, tho.. why wasn't he spinning his arms in that cocoon shape? Y'know to make a protective air vest around his arm vest :"
I never knew why Grievous had Jedi Colour lightsabers until I realised he’s the Jedi hunter so using the weapons of fallen Jedi would install fear to Jedi knowing he’s kill many Jedi.
@@aaronpalma3252 grevious prefers using the lightsabers as is, it makes more sense as jedi's lightsaber means so much more than just a weapon, they are made by a jedi and serve as a reflection, that's why grevious liked collecting them so much, the next best thing would have been the jedi's head. There was no need to bleed a crystal because to see it untainted wielded by the jedi's killer himself is a much more powerful image.
Well, it is canon, it actually was shown there why he is no longer a great warrior but a cunning tactician. Windu broke his lungs and half of his remaining organs beyond repair, which led to more cybernetic augmentations as the last resort to keep him alive, but it weakened him greatly
I’d say that he still felt threatening, but not as threatening as 2003, 2005 was alright, and still did have his moments, 2008 is in the same realm for me
He watered down Mace Windu who'd made Grievous week.Everyone likes to hate Disney but I always blamed Lucas.His screenplay and directing were mediocre.Funny that both tv shows had better storylines than every prequels except ROTS(not speaking about plan if Palpatine who could end up very fast and dumb way of killing Mace and General(Grievous was killed as Maul in Episode 1 because Lucas is bad screenwriter) and 6th episode
@@sandansaiyan5675someone finally says it lol, Lucas is a good worldbuilder but he has terrible writing skills. And if he realised that his fanbase grew up while making the prequels maybe he wouldn't have to sell to Disney
At least the video game adaptation of Episode 3 treats him like a legit boss threat, and also had an awesome gameplay where you play as him in that Mini Game and the 2 player battle mode.
Love the ending when mace uses the force to literally crush him like an empty pop can and he coughs.. makes sense why he is useless in revenge of the sith
@@jaceanderson5748 Yes and no. You see, they wrote the badass version of Grievous for the show before George Lucas had finalized the character. When another season was written to directly lead into Revenge of the Sith, they realized the discrepancy between their version and the film's, so they created that scene to explain it.
@@matthewmuir8884 So yee, him literally having crushed internal organs only an hour before the film, are a good explanation for why he isn't nearly as powerful in RotS.
@@matthewmuir8884 Although it doesn’t explain why his British accent suddenly became...whatever it was in ROTS. I think he would have retained some of his menacing presence if he at least had the same voice. The new voice was just ripe for memes.
The voice of this Grievous is more eerie in my opinion. The breathy, British voice makes him more ominous than the TB patient we got in the clone wars and ROTS
Because he IS a TB patient in those versions. He never recovered fully from Windu's attack -- which is stupid imo, he's already a cyborg. Why can't they fix fucking respirators?
@@thetheory6159 I always wondered that too, but also you have to look at Vader’s suit and how bulky and painful it was for him. Granted, Grievous wasn’t a sith or even in the pool to become one but he was reconstructed with sith technology so I imagine they left him miserable on purpose but that’s just me guessing
@@thetheory6159 didn't he had like his remaining organs from when he was still an alien behind his armor? I'm guessing Windu also crushed those organs a lil bit that's why Grievous is still having TB in ROTS
@@strat458796 so this IS an example of the sith just assuming that pain makes everyone stronger, meaning that this is best resumed by "They are very good doctors... for siths. Really, it's Grievous' fault for being force insensitive."

2:29 maybe I can understand why they nerfed grievous in the clone wars series but why the hell did they get rid of his break dancing fighting style! LOOK AT IT!! You can't tell me that isn't the coolest shit you've seen
@@hyperion3145 i feel like the progression of how he fights should've been backwards of how he fights in 2003 Clone Wars to the newer media let's say he started off with the new slower more arm spinning style and then as it went on he started doing this awesome breakdancing stuff since the slower style feels like how tribal duels are often depicted with the fighters slowly making their way closer to eachother while doing intimidating stuff (in this case spinning his hands around with lightsabers) i think it fits with how Grievous started losing his old more honourable and warrior ways as his life goes on
@@hyperion3145 They should've use both. By that I mean they could've just have Grievous spin the Lightsabers against the ground as a taunt before having him use the type of combat he used in these clips.
2008 Grevious couldn’t take on a 14 year old padawan At 4:09 Grevious took down at least 20 troops on screen before he hunted down palpatine, he could’ve just ran past them… but he wanted to kill
@@pragatri But Grievous has no contact with the force. The use of Lightsabers also requires a lot of the user's connection with the Force to hit the moves.
@@Spectre.0001 but it dosn't make scense in the 3d show wherr they show he always have lung problems before episode 3. This was more cohesive and this wasn't canon before the disney era.
It's weird how George wanted him to be more of a moustache twirling villain than an absolute unit because A sidious and dooku fill those roles perfectly, and B, this is definitely a jedi killer
@@peterstoric6560wich was stupid. Coulda offered an interesting parallel between the two, and how they handled their cybernetics.... One limited and in pain from them... The other thriving thanks to them.
General grievous will be my favorite villain. His introduction shows that the good guys didnt win by a long shot by "da powa of fwendship" or "da force" but that they BARELY won by sheer luck of when reinforcements arrived. Truly a scene to be remembered.
I'm not sure if I'd call that 'win' ...... the Jedi lost several of their own and at least two others were seriously wounded. They escaped yeah but that seems like a solid L for them.
@@dragonfire4527 I love how animalistic they made Grievous in that shot. Like you're waving your safari car's torchlight in the dark of the Savanah and you catch glimpse of an apex predator sizing you up silently.
@Nearly Solvent dude Gungans are fierce warriors that won the battle of Mon Cala and basically repelled an entire separatist droid invasion by themselves. If they can hold back an entire army of separatists than just one shouldnt be a problem. They won the battle of mon cala when the clones and jedi couldnt.
@@ForsakenDreamer7 so can battle droids, they kill tons of clones all the time. Point is even though grievous was nerfed gungans have nothing to do with it.
@@LucyWest370 Show me one droid that can stand completely surrounded by clone troopers from all sides when they are *already firing,* and the next instant they're all dead. Then try to tell me that the said droid, if it indeed exists, could go down after only taking out a few Gungans.
And the implications that Grievous can get even better. Since he was improving in real time based on Dooku's critiques. That scene alone had so many implications alone!
Dooku was considered one of the most powerful force users in the order. He was an excellent duelist, and strong with the force. Him leaving the order was a big blow in its own way.
@U bie how he is not supposed to be this strong if he has a device in his brain to read lightsaber forms and counter them, he also was trained by Dooku one best duelists to use fear against Jedi in order to interrupt their calm mind and to overcome Grievous lack on the force?
God, as much as i love Grievous i kinda get why they nerfed him, with how his training and experience was going up (as well as his Lightsaber collection) probably only Anakin could've stopped him tbh
Thing is, he got nerfed way too much. It made sense in RotS that he'd escape when faced with both Obi-Wan and Anakin at once, a great threat even for him, and Obi-Wan with his mastery of Soresu (the most defensive lightsaber style) was the best candidate to fight him. But Dave Filoni made the mistake of basing his portrayal of the character solely on RotS, him constantly just loosing, escaping and the few times he gets a win, he needs to cheat. Kind of makes it boring when your main antagonists can never really feel like a true threat.
@@TheDragonoftheWest it’s also just a balancing thing. None of the characters in the 2008 run are as powerful as shown here so I feel that grevious was always going to get nerfed. But you’re right, he got nerfed too much and it basically ruined the character.
Nope Anakin would’ve lost outright. He’s not good enough of a duelist. He’s good but not good enough. The ONLY TWO Jedi ever shown to defeat Grievous in 1-on-1 combat are Kit Fisto and Obi-Wan Kenobi. And Kenobi’s duel with Anakin on Mustafar may have been close, but he won out over Anakin. If Anakin couldn’t beat Obi-Wan, he couldn’t beat Grievous.
I like how in the 2003 version Grievous always had the Jedi on the run and the Jedi could do nothing but slow Grievous down. Contrary to the 2008 version as well as in ROTS where Grievous is the one who’s always running away from the Jedi.
Lucas forced Tartakovsky to make him week in the end.Funny that Grievous and person who almost crushed heart of his were killed in dumb way.Lucas is fkn legend. Disney made good movies(except 9) and SW creator made only 1 good prequel and even there he fkd up 2 awesome character don't mention how Kenobi was weak in 1-3
I have no idea why, but I always loved the way Grievous was animated in this show. The way he moved in fight scenes was so satisfyingly cool for some reason.
I still remember trembling with equal parts fear and excitement when he was first revealed. That clawed foot slamming the hologram projector made me jump. The sight of the battlefield and Republic ships completely decimated put me in shock. And that bone white hand casually raised into frame against the dark background calling off the onslaught before revealing the tall, blindingly white, cloaked figure, definitely no Sith, followed by that sharp voice promising the exhausted, tattered, desperate Jedi they were all dead and best make their peace with their god before the slow offscreen footsteps advanced gave me chills. "But know that I, General Grievous, am not completely without mercy. I will grant you a warrior's death. Prepare."
The fact that he did all of that with only 2 arms and only pulled out the 4 arms ONCE when he actually needed it to make quick work so he could catch up with the Chancellor
I think it's another touch that adds to the whole "break them" lesson Dooku taught him. Don't show all your assets at once, slowly overwhelm them as they realize just how much you are truly capable of. Those two jedi he was fighting had that perfect look of despair when he pulled those extra arms.
There lived a certain man Far away and long ago He was eight feet tall And his eyes were flaming gold The Jedi looked at him With terror in their eyes But to Raxus chicks He was such a lovely guy He could wield a saber Like a Sith Lord Full of ecstasy And fire But he also was The kind of leader Women would desire
This General Grievous is strong and doesn't run away after every fight. What Mace Windu did to him was hard core and explains more than him just coughing the entire time.
@@rKhael53 Windu had a special ability to see "shatterpoints" in things (both physical and otherwise), it was probably this which allowed him to do that while others were unable to.
@@stevenheydorf6931 Mace if I recall his purple saber means he runs a fine line being able to use some minor dark side powers as a Jedi. Shatterpoints is one of them I believe since it’s a crueler use of the force.
If Disney had some balls they could adapt a similar story into a full length movie A stranded group of a few Clone Troopers and their Jedi commander being hunted down by a new droid general They move from location to location in an abandoned city torn apart by the war, knowing that their tormentor is out there trailing their every move They hunker down in an old building while a powerful storm pounds the city, trapping them inside The movie ends with Master Windu reaching the distress signal and finding only body parts and shattered armor As he inspects the final hologram his fellow Jedi recorded before he died, he sees a massive new white droid with spider arms and insane lightsaber skills absolutely decimating the troopers and the lone Jedi Windu concludes that this can be none other than the new droid commander "General Grievous" they have been hearing about for the past few weeks As Master Windu lays the remains of his old Jedi friend to rest on that distant planet, he vows to meet this "General Grievous" one day and show him the ways of the Force

One of my fav villains of all time, I remember when this came out I was in middle school & I was so hyped to see him in Revenge of the Sith just for how intimidating & formidable he was in this series & then the last ep hit & Mace crushed his chest & he’s coughing in the movie I was hoping he’d recover & go beast mode again but sadly every appearance of Grievous after he was a letdown. This one will always be the Goat
George: “We DiDnT wAnT aNoThEr VaDeR!” **proceeds to make a villain so visually incompetent in his canon media that it is baffling how he was ever a threat by himself**
George Lucas is many things, a good character writer is definitely not one of them. It's no coincidence that Episode 5, widely regarded as the best film in the franchise, is the one he had little to no involvement in.
Of course Palpatine is just being a complete troll in this scenario seeing as he could cut down Grievous and the Jedi as well as fry the Clone support with lightning if his plan went awry
I am in love with this man’s movements. His combat style of fluid movements, allowing an endless onslaught of lightsaber strikes that force his opponents into stressful defense. The slow methodical stalking before his fights that give off the feeling of a predatory animal hunting his prize. The kicking and grabbing that only makes him feel more primal and animalistic. And outside of combat, the giant cape makes him downright terrifying and extremely intimidating He’s more like a predatory animal than a man or machine, and I think that fits with his backstory (I don’t know it too well)
His quickness, fluidity with such an unorthodox style, brutality, and willingness to jump into a situation where he knows he's at a disadvantage makes him so badass. Then we see him get schooled by Dooku reinforcing how powerful the Sith really are. The best display of his power in all of Star Wars by far. (Windu's immediate sense of his weakness against the force and exploiting it also shows you don't fuck with Windu.)
I remember watching this back in those day... Grievous was so incredible in this series, the hype for the film growing every week, and when Ep III came out and he appeared in the film, the excitement was huge - but not as big as the disappointment of seeing him turned into comic relief...
Almost 7 minutes that changed a fandom forever... and set the visual storytelling the bar so high that 7 seasons of cinematic 3d animation couldn't touch it.
I remember when I first saw this series, I was going "cool design, able to hold his own against multiple Jedi, rarely speaks, making him super intimidating, what else could they do with him? (Shows he can have 4 arms) THAT'S IT. HE'S NOW MY FAVORITE PREQUEL VILLAIN."
God how I miss when Grievous was such a badass😞 Also just my opinion but I always felt Grievous should have fought against multiple jedi at least 2 alongside Kenobi. No way Kenobi could have defended himself against 4 lightsabers
If you think about it, no jedi could stand a chance against 4 lightsabers, unless he's Pong Krell. You have one, or maybe 2 lightsabers. There are still at least 2 arms attacking you simultaneously. And if you are fast enough to parry 4 simultaneous attacks, you are fast enough to end the fight in a second, because it means you move at the speed of light. And I don't think someone like Grievous wouldn't use his biggest advantage in a fight: attacking simultaneously from 4 different directions. Unless his robotic body has been purposedly "nerfed" so he would be killed, and thus lose the war, which would allow a certain person to gain notoriety in the Senate...
@@ianm5686 As much as I love Kenobi, there is no way he would be able to parry 4 simultaneous attacks from 4 separate directions if his opponent has the same speed as him, no matter how much of a master he is. As I said, it is only possible if Grievous has some form of skill lock on his robotical body that doesn't allow him to do this. Which sounds more logical than Kenobi being faster than Grievous and just toying with him during the entire fight while an assault is in progress and men are dying
@@gaolmiralis2247 Going by the novel, Kenobi can block up to 8 strikes per second maximum, while dodging up to 15. His absolute capacity of not being hit through both evasion and deflection is 18 strikes per second, atleast while fighting such a powerful opponent. The reason he's able to achieve this is because the Force acts trough him, anticipating each move of Grievous. Altough indeed, General does have some damage to his body as he's still recovering from Windu's attack. Ofcourse this explanation doesn't apply to modern Canon, there Grievous and by extension Kenobi are just noobs.
The fact that Grievous doesn't speak a damn word until the fight ends and the Jedi retreat, truly testifies that Grievous was meant to be the next Darth in the series like Darth Grievous would've been an amazing name
I love how quieter and more sinister this grievous is....more like a horror villain just genuinely creepy even his background score adds to the horror vibe as if a calm calculating yet savage monster is appraching in the dark and there isnt a damn thing you could do
Yep. The only thing that could defeat him defently is the force. If youre force sensitive and youre trained in it, then you could kill him easily but otherwise you need some fine dual from.....
The scariest thing about Grievous revealing that he has four arms at 5:55 isn’t the fact that he can hold lightsabers at once but that everything you’ve seen of him up to that moment he had been holding back
My head cannon is that this is real grevious, but after Windu collapsed his lungs he became wary of Jedi, but just like during training with Dooku when he was holding his saber to tightly and after realising his mistake was holding too lightly, he went from underastimating jedi to realising that their force abilities can be used againts him because he was mostly a droid, so he became too wary of them
This is the sickest general grievous I have ever seen. I always loved Star Wars except for the new installments for personal reasons. Grievous was the only character who truly captivated me, and he has always been my favorite character along with jedi master general rahm kota. He was such a unique enemy and master in light saber combat. He is a cyborg and a very intimidating one with amazing physical prowess and scary agility and acrobatic skills. He is like a tall version of yoda without the force. The fact that he is so deadly without the force is mind-boggling. If he had the force, i couldn't imagine the clout he would have. Rewatching RoftS made me see how much he was nerfed. He wasn't a sith lord but used fear to combat and destroy his victims, which is a tactic you expect from a sith lord. Count dooku trained him and made him so powerful that he is able to take on jedi and sith and even jedi masters. I like the fact that he has traits of a bounty hunter but doesn't require compensation. He kills jedi and take their lightsabers. I just love how insane and badass his fighting style is. It's like aggressive breakdancing, whereas yoda's is like aggressive acrobatics. And just bringing out the 4 arms is sick because i think there is a jedi master who uses 4 double-edged sabers, and i think that's Jedi Master Krell. It just adds to his fear tactics especially when encountering padawan's and jedi knights and not so confident jedi masters. Lastly, by him already having countless years of battle experience prior to him becoming what he is now make him more menacing.
Idk wat Lucas was thinking when he made grevious a joke. It seems during the prequel era George just made watever idea and stuck to it without second thinking if it's actually a good idea
@@billross9132 during the prequels, George had 100% control over the product which is ALWAYS a mistake. The reason the original trilogy was such a success its because there were several co-writers, co-directors and editors to make Lucas' vision cohesive.
@@billross9132 He made him a joke because grievous was stealing thunder from Darth Vader’s reveal at the end of the prequel saga. Maul was a Sith, Dooku was a fallen Jedi, Grievous was a cyborg.

What a badass… the clones in this series were chads
My dude Grievous had one of the most painful nerfs in film history 😭, and I miss this Grievous
Hell ya, so true
He didn't get nerfed. You just don't see him winning. Tell me this, if Grevious was so "nerfed", why did ending the Clone Wars require his death? And if it required his death, that must mean he has secured countless victories against the Republic, considering the war was 3 years long.
Imagine that. Things that happen on screen arent the sole characteristics of the character!
@@TheSCPStudio I think that's the problem though. We get to see Obi-Wan, Anakin, Ahsoka, Yoda, Windu, etc... we see them all in badass sequences, but we didn't see that (often) in TCW. It should've been shown on screen, and it was one of the only major flaws in TCW because we mostly saw Grievous as a bumbling bafoon.
@@TheSCPStudio Cuz he's a genius, but still he got nerfed.
@@TheSCPStudio I wish we did get his on-screen victories though.
No matter how I like EP3 and Other Clone Wars - Grevious is a botcher there, even if lore says otherwise.
I just love Battle IQ of Grievous in 2003 version.
1. He uses his hands, legs in battle.
2. He have turtle mode.
3. He is calm as hell, have breakdance style.
Also his entire introduction scene is him picking Jedi off 1 by 1 before entering to finish them off after making them watch their allies die
Imagine if grievous awakened the force...
Tbh, I love how brutal grevious is here, the way he doesn't just use his lightsabers but will grab people and throw them around, it really makes him feel like something else, not a jedi or sith, like the monster he is envisioned as a legend would refer to him.
I like How Grievous Was Always Keeping his "Bruh" Face

Well, it is canon, it actually was shown there why he is no longer a great warrior but a cunning tactician. Windu broke his lungs and half of his remaining organs beyond repair, which led to more cybernetic augmentations as the last resort to keep him alive, but it weakened him greatly
@@chesnok1315 this doesn't explain why he was weak in the 2008 clone Wars, when windu crushed his lungs before that.
@@knuckt.k.9456 that show isn't canon though
AKA the best scenes, imagine a vilain so badass that Lucas himself felt threatened and had to ruin him completely so he wouldn't be Vader's equal.
Just wanna say I'm glad you said Lucas, most people tend to put the blame on Dave Filoni for how Grievous turned out in TCW.
I’d say that he still felt threatening, but not as threatening as 2003, 2005 was alright, and still did have his moments, 2008 is in the same realm for me
He watered down Mace Windu who'd made Grievous week.Everyone likes to hate Disney but I always blamed Lucas.His screenplay and directing were mediocre.Funny that both tv shows had better storylines than every prequels except ROTS(not speaking about plan if Palpatine who could end up very fast and dumb way of killing Mace and General(Grievous was killed as Maul in Episode 1 because Lucas is bad screenwriter) and 6th episode
@@sandansaiyan5675someone finally says it lol, Lucas is a good worldbuilder but he has terrible writing skills. And if he realised that his fanbase grew up while making the prequels maybe he wouldn't have to sell to Disney

@@matthewmuir8884 Although it doesn’t explain why his British accent suddenly became...whatever it was in ROTS. I think he would have retained some of his menacing presence if he at least had the same voice. The new voice was just ripe for memes.
The voice of this Grievous is more eerie in my opinion. The breathy, British voice makes him more ominous than the TB patient we got in the clone wars and ROTS
Because he IS a TB patient in those versions. He never recovered fully from Windu's attack -- which is stupid imo, he's already a cyborg. Why can't they fix fucking respirators?
@@thetheory6159 I always wondered that too, but also you have to look at Vader’s suit and how bulky and painful it was for him.

@@hyperion3145 i feel like the progression of how he fights should've been backwards of how he fights in 2003 Clone Wars to the newer media let's say he started off with the new slower more arm spinning style and then as it went on he started doing this awesome breakdancing stuff since the slower style feels like how tribal duels are often depicted with the fighters slowly making their way closer to eachother while doing intimidating stuff (in this case spinning his hands around with lightsabers) i think it fits with how Grievous started losing his old more honourable and warrior ways as his life goes on
Animating that in 2d is a lot easier

God, as much as i love Grievous i kinda get why they nerfed him, with how his training and experience was going up (as well as his Lightsaber collection) probably only Anakin could've stopped him tbh
The novelization of Episode 3 did a fantastic job explaining why Obi-Wan was actually the perfect Jedi to beat Grievous
Thing is, he got nerfed way too much. It made sense in RotS that he'd escape when faced with both Obi-Wan and Anakin at once, a great threat even for him, and Obi-Wan with his mastery of Soresu (the most defensive lightsaber style) was the best candidate to fight him. But Dave Filoni made the mistake of basing his portrayal of the character solely on RotS, him constantly just loosing, escaping and the few times he gets a win, he needs to cheat. Kind of makes it boring when your main antagonists can never really feel like a true threat.
@@TheDragonoftheWest it’s also just a balancing thing. None of the characters in the 2008 run are as powerful as shown here so I feel that grevious was always going to get nerfed.
But you’re right, he got nerfed too much and it basically ruined the character.
At least at the end of this video we could see how grievous got that coughing that makes him a joke
Nope Anakin would’ve lost outright. He’s not good enough of a duelist. He’s good but not good enough. The ONLY TWO Jedi ever shown to defeat Grievous in 1-on-1 combat are Kit Fisto and Obi-Wan Kenobi. And Kenobi’s duel with Anakin on Mustafar may have been close, but he won out over Anakin. If Anakin couldn’t beat Obi-Wan, he couldn’t beat Grievous.

I am in love with this man’s movements. His combat style of fluid movements, allowing an endless onslaught of lightsaber strikes that force his opponents into stressful defense. The slow methodical stalking before his fights that give off the feeling of a predatory animal hunting his prize. The kicking and grabbing that only makes him feel more primal and animalistic. And outside of combat, the giant cape makes him downright terrifying and extremely intimidating
He’s more like a predatory animal than a man or machine, and I think that fits with his backstory (I don’t know it too well)
God I love 2003 Grievous.
Its crazy how losing a lung can make one sound so much less intimidating and even give someone an accent
His quickness, fluidity with such an unorthodox style, brutality, and willingness to jump into a situation where he knows he's at a disadvantage makes him so badass. Then we see him get schooled by Dooku reinforcing how powerful the Sith really are. The best display of his power in all of Star Wars by far. (Windu's immediate sense of his weakness against the force and exploiting it also shows you don't fuck with Windu.)
5:55 yo the way he just reveals he has 4 arms is so damn cool, he just splits his hands and picks up 2 extra light sabers and kills them
I remember watching this back in those day... Grievous was so incredible in this series, the hype for the film growing every week, and when Ep III came out and he appeared in the film, the excitement was huge - but not as big as the disappointment of seeing him turned into comic relief...
Almost 7 minutes that changed a fandom forever... and set the visual storytelling the bar so high that 7 seasons of cinematic 3d animation couldn't touch it.
I remember when I first saw this series, I was going "cool design, able to hold his own against multiple Jedi, rarely speaks, making him super intimidating, what else could they do with him? (Shows he can have 4 arms) THAT'S IT. HE'S NOW MY FAVORITE PREQUEL VILLAIN."

Clone: *See General outside of elevator* Ah, i have great idea shoot from rocket launcher inside of elevator
Yeah if this were any other universe that back blast would have killed everyone.
God how I miss when Grievous was such a badass😞 Also just my opinion but I always felt Grievous should have fought against multiple jedi at least 2 alongside Kenobi. No way Kenobi could have defended himself against 4 lightsabers
If you think about it, no jedi could stand a chance against 4 lightsabers, unless he's Pong Krell. You have one, or maybe 2 lightsabers. There are still at least 2 arms attacking you simultaneously. And if you are fast enough to parry 4 simultaneous attacks, you are fast enough to end the fight in a second, because it means you move at the speed of light. And I don't think someone like Grievous wouldn't use his biggest advantage in a fight: attacking simultaneously from 4 different directions. Unless his robotic body has been purposedly "nerfed" so he would be killed, and thus lose the war, which would allow a certain person to gain notoriety in the Senate...
Same I really hope I get redeemed in terms of power sometime in the future but I doubt it will happen
Kenobi was a master of combating multiple blade users such as Maul and Ventress.
@@ianm5686 As much as I love Kenobi, there is no way he would be able to parry 4 simultaneous attacks from 4 separate directions if his opponent has the same speed as him, no matter how much of a master he is. As I said, it is only possible if Grievous has some form of skill lock on his robotical body that doesn't allow him to do this. Which sounds more logical than Kenobi being faster than Grievous and just toying with him during the entire fight while an assault is in progress and men are dying
@@gaolmiralis2247 Going by the novel, Kenobi can block up to 8 strikes per second maximum, while dodging up to 15. His absolute capacity of not being hit through both evasion and deflection is 18 strikes per second, atleast while fighting such a powerful opponent. The reason he's able to achieve this is because the Force acts trough him, anticipating each move of Grievous. Altough indeed, General does have some damage to his body as he's still recovering from Windu's attack.
Ofcourse this explanation doesn't apply to modern Canon, there Grievous and by extension Kenobi are just noobs.
The “I am the supreme chancellor of the republic,and I will not be bullied by a (crash)”had me dying
The fact that Grievous doesn't speak a damn word until the fight ends and the Jedi retreat, truly testifies that Grievous was meant to be the next Darth in the series like Darth Grievous would've been an amazing name
I like how Mace just pulls out the ace in the hole which is what a guy would do if he saw 4 armed arms.
Lol I can stop laughing at 4:13 where he throws a clone out the window with a straight face 😂🤣
I actually like his design and voice in this show, now I wish this series was a bit longer.
I love how quieter and more sinister this grievous is....more like a horror villain just genuinely creepy even his background score adds to the horror vibe as if a calm calculating yet savage monster is appraching in the dark and there isnt a damn thing you could do
Yep. The only thing that could defeat him defently is the force. If youre force sensitive and youre trained in it, then you could kill him easily but otherwise you need some fine dual from.....
0:48 I love how he lets go of the sword to dodge the blow and then grabs it back, so cool 🤩
The only place where grievous is actually scary
I love how the editing makes it so as soon as grievous faces Windu at the end his chest just collapses
General Greivous as an actual genuine threat and amazing badass before they turned him into a goddamn joke.
The scariest thing about Grievous revealing that he has four arms at 5:55 isn’t the fact that he can hold lightsabers at once but that everything you’ve seen of him up to that moment he had been holding back
If 4:24 doesn’t scare you idk what will
My head cannon is that this is real grevious, but after Windu collapsed his lungs he became wary of Jedi, but just like during training with Dooku when he was holding his saber to tightly and after realising his mistake was holding too lightly, he went from underastimating jedi to realising that their force abilities can be used againts him because he was mostly a droid, so he became too wary of them
He then started overcompensating for his newly found fear with a Russian accent
@@Mothman_Studios yes
@@zedowskyy9290 we did it, we saved star wars
3:42 i like how we see his head in backwards.
6:07 "You are lucky they want you alive."
You are lucky HE wants you alive. Oh the irony.
This is the sickest general grievous I have ever seen. I always loved Star Wars except for the new installments for personal reasons. Grievous was the only character who truly captivated me, and he has always been my favorite character along with jedi master general rahm kota. He was such a unique enemy and master in light saber combat. He is a cyborg and a very intimidating one with amazing physical prowess and scary agility and acrobatic skills. He is like a tall version of yoda without the force. The fact that he is so deadly without the force is mind-boggling. If he had the force, i couldn't imagine the clout he would have. Rewatching RoftS made me see how much he was nerfed. He wasn't a sith lord but used fear to combat and destroy his victims, which is a tactic you expect from a sith lord.
Count dooku trained him and made him so powerful that he is able to take on jedi and sith and even jedi masters. I like the fact that he has traits of a bounty hunter but doesn't require compensation. He kills jedi and take their lightsabers. I just love how insane and badass his fighting style is. It's like aggressive breakdancing, whereas yoda's is like aggressive acrobatics. And just bringing out the 4 arms is sick because i think there is a jedi master who uses 4 double-edged sabers, and i think that's Jedi Master Krell. It just adds to his fear tactics especially when encountering padawan's and jedi knights and not so confident jedi masters. Lastly, by him already having countless years of battle experience prior to him becoming what he is now make him more menacing.
2003 but only the GOAT
Virgin George Lucas Grievous vs chad genndy tartakovsky grievous
Idk wat Lucas was thinking when he made grevious a joke. It seems during the prequel era George just made watever idea and stuck to it without second thinking if it's actually a good idea
Tbh genndy tartakovsky would make a better Star wars
@@billross9132 during the prequels, George had 100% control over the product which is ALWAYS a mistake. The reason the original trilogy was such a success its because there were several co-writers, co-directors and editors to make Lucas' vision cohesive.
@@billross9132 He made him a joke because grievous was stealing thunder from Darth Vader’s reveal at the end of the prequel saga. Maul was a Sith, Dooku was a fallen Jedi, Grievous was a cyborg. All this was building up to Vader being the ultimate combination of the three. If Grievous was THIS badass in canon, the punchline of Vader being the final boss would be lessened. Hate what happened to our boi but it makes senses story wise.
@@clampowder9061how would it lessen the punch?
Of vader is the combination of all three ...
And they're individually THIS badass....
Wouldn't that make a synthesis of all 3,aka Vader......EVEN MORE TERRIFYING?
