If you look at the history of humans in the real world, the word “Fair”, is not something that was practiced a cross all the nations of the world. Some of us, living in modern society with “rules of law” enjoy a condition not necessarily effecting rest of the world population currently, let alone hundredths of years ago.
Even here, in the good old U.S. of A. We have plenty of protest against the current “Status Quo”. Isn’t it amazing how some complain about “Nick and company” not following the “Rule of law” in a fantasy world on TV, while they probably wish we actually had something like a Grimm, to write the many wrongs right, by so many in current society. You want proof? Just look at the list of fantasy shows, posted about, in the “Television Forums” pages of this site including all the DC and Marvel series of comic books character coming to life on the screen.. Even today, most of the billions of people living on this Earth are not living under “Fair” conditions. Can you just imagine, if a certain sector of our population, back in millennium or currently existed, with a much greater physical advantage over the masses? How life would be? Do you think the “ROYALS”, running the world just a few hundredths of years back ran the world fair? Hence a Grimm, to do its own brand of Justice. Not only would a Grimm be applicable, to write the wrongs, of our current society, imagine how unfair the world of yesteryear was prior to the 18th and 19th centuries. So, to answer your question; “Would they be serial killers? Killing for the sake of killing”? No, they would actually be the Judge, Jury and Executioner we all would crave for.

If you're so judgmental about what Nick does, then why would you even watch such a program? To say killing for the sake of killing is more absurd than anything I've heard in a long time. If you could fill us in on why you say that, it would help in answering.

It's always been acknowledged that the traditional grimms did kill wesen, not just because they were evil, but because they were wesen. Why do you think all the wesen, regardless of being good or bad, were always terrified whenever they found out that Nick was a grimm? Even Monroe mentions that grimms were the boogeymen used to scare wesen children into behaving themselves. That was also explored in 'The Hour of Death'.(09-25-2017, 12:30 AM)wesen Wrote: Would they be serial killers? Killing for the sake of killing?

The real life equivalent of traditional grimms and wesen would probably be people who constantly had to defend themselves because certain other people wanted to kill them on sight, to the point where they eventually started to act offensively instead of waiting for someone to attack. Eventually, everyone would forgot how it all got started and the default mindset would be kill first or be killed. I can't think of anyone in modern western society who has to live like this, but there are certain parts of the world where people kill other people for no other reason than what tribes they belong to or what deities they worship, i.e., "ethnic cleansing." Although in those cases the people involved aren't usually living underground.

Killing for the sake of killing? well hon, I'm really sorry, I had no idea you were literally speaking about 'all grimms in the past - before Nick). I didn't know how to read that post - it was a little too brief for me to pick up on the simple question you asked....although I'm still a bit perplexed about your question. I think you could've fleshed it out a bit more. I'm not so sure about grimms (in the olden days) killing wesen just because they were wesen - I mean all sorts of wesen are extreme in their primal natures. That's why the 'modern' wesen are mostly the kind to blend in as best they can with modern man/society.

the ancient "GRIMM" killed for other more primitive motives:evil, contempt-
they did not consider them human-,protecting others. Humans kill by hatred, envy, greed, revenge

Ancient grimms were not indiscriminant wesen killers. They were employed by the royals to help control the wesen who served them, and were probably more like overseers or enforcers. Interactions between grimms and wesen most likely broke down into outright kill on sight enmity after the split between the royals and the grimms. And losing the services of the grimms may be the reason why the royals no longer commanded armies of wesen and had only the verrat by the 21st century.

The show does not say why the ancient Grimms started killing wessen. We only know about more recent Grimms who could write, something that is recent-the last couple of thousand years. Until recent history being able to write was not a common skill, altho many could-see the story of the volcano guy. By the time some Grimms began to write, most of their stories were about tracking down killers. The same goes for the wessen, their original stories of Grimms was probably oral history. We do know that Bud's lodge asked Nick not to kill them and that all the rat people were afraid of Nick. Maybe the wessen stories were just that, stories told to the young to protect them from possible danger-don't run with that stick, it will put out your eye.
