>tfw this guy could've been the Thrawn of the prequel era, with bonus Jedi-destroying skills
Just rewatching the 2003 cartoon hurts, knowing that he went from a genius strategist and ultimate Jedi-killing machine to a complete disappointment.
Makes it even worse now that it is no longer canon, and the wheezing loser of the CGI Clone Wars show is the "real" Grievous. Shit, they even lowballed Dooku in that show.
I like him having four arms, though. That was a cool addition. I liked him using his legs in combat too, though. Imagine, six limbs, each a potential weapon.

Honestly I'm willing to support anyone who is not Iger. Hell, I'll even shill for Oprah if I have to just to see him fail. Once that's done I can get off the fat Oprah train.

While I'm sure that the Overton Window will shift, I'm almost positive that it's going to shift in an even worse direction, so get ready for more pozz anons.

It's not going in any particular direction. It's just kind of getting exploded so any and every idea which wouldn't have been acceptable 10 years ago or so is now open for debate.

If you live on /pol/, sure. Otherwise, not really. The general public seems to tend mostly left with the occasional voice of outrage if it goes too far but it's still slowly, thought steadily, being pushed to the left.

Hey, don't insult Grievous by comparing him to that monotone Gary Stu of a villain. At least EU Grievous had entertaining character, believable pathos and a sympathetic motivation. Thrawn is flat as a cardboard and the only reason people cream themselves over him is because he's some kind of super military genius who can pull people's psychological profiles out of his ass because art or some shit. And even then he goes out like a punk once Zahn ran out of ideas to keep dragging out his retarded trilogy.

Perhaps the Overton Window is lurching right among regular jack-offs, but media professionals have been so accustomed to leading a cultural narrative and spoonfeeding their sensibilities through control of pop-culture that they just don't know how to cope with the marketplace not aligning with their shepherding anymore.
That's why you see all of this quintupling down and prosecution of even more radical ploys dispensing with anything resembling nuance or subtlety. It's panic mode and mashing the glowing red buttons full propaganda salvos ahead. It happened in the 1980s too as a reaction against Reagnism and Thatcherism, but the 2010s have a cultivated internet that didn't exist then.

A bunch of people have started going berserk after Trump said some parts of Africa are shit holes, and even people I knew who were centrist decided to go full virtue-signalling lib over the matter even though its true and idiots need to stop pretending Africa is anything like Wakanda from Marvel comics and realize that they need serious agricultural and governmental reforms.

This is so obscure and I can't find a pic of it so I may have to load up an emulator or something and try it but my favourite look for Grievous was from the Episode III game in the versus mode if two people picked him. The sightly altered colouration and red lightsaber look was kino

Grievous was such a pain in the ass in duel mode. He would pretty much attack non-stop and could block any ranged attacks, so your only tactic was for wait for him to start a combo then stun/lightning blast him or fling explosive shit at him. Forget about close combat engagements, even trying to sneak in a single strike in between his combos would result in your character taking a dozen hits.

Was that James Arnold Taylor voicing Obi Wan? I noticed that in the Genndy series he sounded more subdued when he voiced him but in the CGI one he felt either more lively or exaggerated. I'm not sure if that's the best description but that's the most I can make sense of it.

A worthy ascension before Filoni's Clone Wars turned him into 80s cartoon Shredder. Then again, Grievous suddenly became a badass again in the cancelled Clone Wars season, so maybe they were actually going to restore him to his former glory… maybe.

I love movie grievous
>YOU FOOL
A good, CONVENIENT explanation for the TCW2008 grievous "wanting to upgrade himself to be deadlier etc" is that they're fake thoughts implanted into him to keep him placated. (In the EU he was initially pissed off at his cyborg body)
Remember that brain chip he has? His handlers were probably able to make small changes/adjustments to him as needed.
So basically none of the Grievous backstories override each other. He's a great character. No point worrying about a "real grievous". It doesn't matter if he's a master jedi-killing machine or a coughing retard; the real grievous was the friends we made along the way.

I've noticed the trend that Disney wants to enforce an idea: evil is always bloodthirsty without reason. Be it Kylo Ren, Snoke, Hux, Tarkin, Vader, Grievous - they all lack reasons for their actions.
In fact, they're just bullies in places of power. Power, power, power…
Same goes for the 'good' guys, though. Jake, Rey, FN-2187, Poe, Leia…
It's like everybody is just a depressed loser with a javascript doing decisions.
