Let me be honest, if I had a gun and I saw a snarling Krampus (or any woged Wesen for that matter) coming towards me in the woods, I would put four bullets in that thing then pass out.

I doubt that becoming an Endezeichen Grimm was the first fear on Nick's mind when he was facing the Wesen, but I can agree that the idea of a murder probably still daunts him sometimes. Maybe the adrenaline just took over him when he murdered the Gelumcaedus brothers.

What do you think of Nick's paling thing, though? I stand by my argument that it's becoming a little too convenient - a powerful defense mechanism that activates when he's near death? It sounds a bit like bad anime.

And has there ever been mentioned some sort of weakness for the Grimms? I write stories set in the Grimm-universe sometimes for fun, and at this point I have to make up vulnerabilities for the Grimms, just to avoid the story going like:

"The Blutbad fought the Grimm but was killed in two seconds because Grimms have pain tolerance higher than a Jay-addict, the strength of a Siegbarste on steriods, and can survive their plane falling out of the sky at 500mph."

Thoughts? "Coming towards you through the woods", fine, shoot him. But killing a PoW? Not Nick's style.

The Gelumcaedus brothers were snacking off Nick's arm, for chrissakes! If it wasn't for the Vambrace and the hidden blade, he would have been in pieces now.

Nick's paling thing, I'd go like: A powerful augmentation that increases speed, strength, stamina and durability when activated. Come on! He whacked that Krampus in one swing when in pale face, and he's in an inescapable choke-hold state. Convenient, but reasonable.

And for his weakness... Grimms are like, augmented humans. Maybe they just don't die easily, but it's not like he can dodge bullets at point-blank range, or holding an explosive while it detonates and he only gets a little burnt, or anything.

As for "The Blutbad fought the Grimm but was killed in two seconds because Grimms have pain tolerance higher than a Jay-addict, the strength of a Siegbarste on steriods, and can survive their plane falling out of the sky at 500mph" theory, I believe that was just an anomaly. I don't think it will happen again anytime soon.

Thoughts?
