The thread started with a simple statment  "what is NIck and Adalin's son purpose". But even in the opening post you talk about the purpose being a spin off. who ever heard of creating a character to have a spin off. spin off is not a purpose. Purpose is how it drives the story.

Then you have lines of thought like this

" Many including myself have wondered if he might be a special child himself, with special powers and a great destiny, like his sister. Some might view Nick as hope for a future where Grimm and Wesen can coexist peacefully; perhaps it could be even more so with his son if he turns out to be a Grimm-Zauberbiest hybrid"

Destiny and changing the world is fine to concider the purpose for and adult or even a teen. But how could the ever work in 22 episodes. No one builds a character that they can't use to several seasons later.

Then there is this post

" Nick and Adalind's son (Grimm Schade) having his own scooby gang sounds awesome. This is how I imagine it to be. "

there are only 22 episode. the title is the sons purpose. How could a furture event provide a current purpose.

You have this post at least it tries to state a purpose

" Going back to the question, I would like to believe that the purpose of this kid is to tie Nick and Adalind together and keep Juliette away. "

except it has no bases in any of the past events. Diana did not tie ADalind and Sean together and they had a relationship. keeping Juliette away it would do that but why go that path. Considering they intorduce the preganacy along with Juliette being a hexenbiest. the being a hexenbiest has already seperated Nick and Juliette. A reason should provide continuity to the show. Not just be wishful  dreams.

There are a number of post for what the kid could become but that would have nothing to do with the purpose. When anything is intorduced on a show there is a reason. The reason is to drive a certain narative. Fanfiction is not purpose.

The thing about introducing a baby it can only be treated as an inanimate object because babies do not have the ability to create action or dialog.

Diana has always existed as a object. Before she was born she was a wepeon to protect Adalind because ADalind had not powers. even then the show left it ambiguious to was it Diana or was it because Diana was inside that ADalind was able to protect her self. Once that was done Diana was removed from the show. the Nick and Adalind with the body swap. Diana was not needed to achive that. though she made a convient reason.

So far this child purpose has only been a device to cause Juliette to switch sides. and as a pawn Adalind use to get Nick's protection. Now Juliette is dead and Adalind no longer needs protection. What do you do with the child. what is his purpose. Right now being pregnant give Adalind for being given a place to stay. That is only good to she give birth. The show says Nick will take responsibility for his son. Why would you assume that includes Adalind. There is no family bonding in the show. Every family we have seen is either a broken home or dysfunctional in some way. So to say the child purpose is to create a family situation would be the exception to every other character in the show.

If anything keeping with the show. This child purpose will be the device that provides reason why Nick goes on the attack. either as a means to protect his son or to fight of those that see value in his son. Either way the result will be son hides Nick fights. While I have to admit, some of the talk is mostly about him having a spinoff. And the fact that he may not have everything people expect him to. Everything else, nope. The reason I can tell you keep posting is because you want to shove your Adalind nazi opinion down people's throats. Also, Nick himself has been a character who's been built and used for several seasons. Rick Grimes has been a built character and has been in several seasons, so how would Nick's son be different? Because he wouldn't get a lot of time and instead get Diana's outcome? The son does have somewhat of a purpose, to give Nick hope. His son is represented as the sun by some because people think of him as cooler and not spoiled like his sister. Purpose doesn't drive the story, it's what the character's thought of what they should do and have, even accidental. I know this show has conflict, but that doesn't mean characters are useless. And also, why does the son hide, the dad fights? What if the son can fight back? Like, what if he had the powers of a grimm manifested early, and when Royals try to kidnap them, he could easily kill them? Seriously, he may be a baby, and be protected, but he's not defenseless. And if he was, Nick would basically head away, or commit suicide. Son gone, put a gun to his head, "Goodbye, wesen world", one shot, one kill. Even if the child can protect himself, he wouldn't be given the same formula his sister did, that would be half-assed. Also, he could be unique, because he's grimm and a wesen, why would they waste an opportunity to have a grimm and wesen kid that could dominate all wesen and grimm kind? The council might try to kill him, but he's not going to be taken, not by a long shot. His purpose may need a little work on and dug in more instead of taking the first piece of gold, but that's what some people do. The son could make at least a cameo, or be a quarter of the episode as he demonstrates his abilities as he gets older, and could do things like when someone attempts to kill him, he'll put his abilities to the test. He's not gonna use that dumb action Diana did, which was to sit still and do nothing. If he doesn't like these guys, or are people he doesn't know, he won't just act normal, no one would just think these guys aren"'t goona do something terrible. None of these comments are from the discussion, they're from the comment section. Comments are used for thoughts, not just debation. So you fucked up of what you said had nothing to do with the purpose, because they're not in the discussion, and they're expressing ideas, not someone's purpose. Well maybe. Babies do have some action, others have it, but others don't. The son might have something that prevents him from being taken, I don't think he would be left alone. His purpose will need time to build up, so please wait. His purpose now is to give Nick hope, an icon, something to let him know he still has family and isn't lying in the graves. He might need someone to watch him, but his son is one of the reasons he still stands up and try not to just stop. His mother's death isn't going to stop him from moving on, he has to or he'll be not ready, and he'll just go from someone who likes, to one no body cares about. So there's his purpose as of now, to give Nick hope to not just be a sad guy, and somewhat try to know he still has at least someone in his family who looks up to him. Family is what makes it work. Adalind we know will have trouble, as she created really bad deeds, especially the cat thing. And yeah, he didn't have much to think of the kid, but isn't better to have the thing being proven? And besides, the child from what I can feel came out okay, so what's with questioning? If Nick's son had no purpose, he would just be a flat out tool, someone who always has to have Nick and Adalind's eye on.
