It's telling that Rosalee prepared all of Adalind's potions for her once Adalind was with Nick. The only thing Adalind supplied was "A Hexenbiest."
Compare this to Elizabeth - who basically shoo'ed Rosalee away while she sorted through Nick's "Re-grimm" potion.
Anyway, I think if Grimm would have gone on for a few more seasons we may have seen some broom riding and crystal balls....
Rosalie only helped with 1 Potion and Adalind was guiding her on her to prepare it. Adalind has made many potions on her own such as the obessession potion used by Renard and Hank. The Coma potion on Juliet. The Shapeshfiting and power stripping potions. Also the Cloaking spell on Diana. Adalind could have done the hexen power supression potion herself but with help would have been done faster.
Adalind wasn't inexperinced as a witch the writers just barely showed her powers on a consistent basis compared to others.
The issue with Hexenbiest is the writers never fully gave an examination of thier powers. They had 6 seasons to explore this but didn't. Like we don't have a baseline for Hexenbiest/Zauberbiest. Disregarding Juilette and Diana who are suppose to be exceptional cases among the species the powers were have seen fro other Hexenbiest/Zauberbiest are:
Spellcasting
Biokinesis(Changing Bone into a key/Turning someone to Stone)
Telekinesis
Pyrokinesis/Thermokinesis
Mind Manipulation
Illusion casting
Sensing
Chronokinesis
I think the reason Hexenbeast/Zauberbeast are so confusing is because for the most part the writers were making it up as they go. Adalind didn't display any telekinesitc abilitites until season 3 as prior to this all she used was strength and Blood potions.
My own personal head canon is there is two sides a a hexenbiest. The Witch side and the Spirit side. The Witch side is genetic while the spirit acts as a amplifier to the natural witch abilities. This is why Hexebeast can use thier powers none woged.
I disagree about the concretration part. Adalind didn't need concetration when she broke Tony's fingers and Juilette didn't need concetration when she blow up the hood of a car. Same when Adalind was infront of the police station and blow out all the windows of cars. Same when she was heating the water in her apartment.
We have seen countless instances when thier power happens even when they aren't concetrating. And usually they are powerful instances.
Sean as a half Zauberbiest has already been canonically shown to be physically stronger than Nick. Adalind was able to physically toss Juilette across the room with a simple push. Only time Nick has shown srength feats like that is when he was in Zombie mode. No other Grimm have shown strength feats of that nature.
Natural born Hexenbiest and Zauberbiest are physically stronger than Grimms by on screen feats.
Before you bring up the fact Nick bested Adalind in Combat or Kelly bested Catherine in combat remember you are talking about 2 people who trained 12+ years in fighting combat versus women who don't have combat experience.
They only way a Grimm can beat a Hexenbiest or Zauberbiest is with Weapons. I am also talking about neither side falling to stupidity meaning both are actually going all out. Otherwise they would simply take control over the Grimm body like Adalind did with that dude that she made shot himself or break everybone in thier fingers like Adalind did with Tony.
It was never established that Grimms were more powerful than hexenbiest and going off of on screen feats Hexenbiest seem way stronger. Yes I am talking about people like Sean, Adalind and Bonoporte not Even or Diana. Talking about the Average Hexenbiest/Zauberbiest.
Adalind, Elizabeth and Henritta are all born Hexenbiest are were all extremely powerful. Even a have Zauberbiest Renard bested Nick in combat and physical strength. So no you don't need to be a full Zauerbiest or non born Hexenbiest to be stronger than Grimms.
Adalind's telekinetic power can break bones and her pyschic persuasion power can make a man shot himself with her mind. Not to mention she was able to telekintically thow a vase with enough force to knocked Renard out cold. Physically she was strong enough to throw Hexenbiest Juilette clean across the room with 1 push.
Elizabeth was able to stop time with her eyes.
Henritta was able to control Nick with her mind and craft illusions with her mind.
Renard was able to overpower Nick in combat and toss him out of a polie window.
Bonoporte was able to best Eve and overpower Nick chocking him to death. Without the Stick Bonoporte would have killed him.
All of those are born Hexenbiest/Zauberbiest. The only non born Hexennbiest on the show is Juilette/Eve. With that in Mind Hexenbiest in genereal are simply more powerful than Grimms.
That is crap both Elizabeth and Henritta had the powers to presuade others and stop time among others.
Adalind didn't use her powers against Nick because she was told not to kill Nick by Renard. Especially not before she got the key. Catherine fight ended before it even began.
Like they fought most wesen they caught them off guard.
Do you have proof he worked on the last Episode? I am just saying. Jim and David never said Kelly was a Grimm on the show or in an interview and they never showed him having any abilities. They also went out of thier way to say Diana and The Triplets alongside Adalind and Nick are fighting wesen. So they made it clear fighting wesen isn't just a Grimm thing. So we can't use him fighting wesen as a way to say he is a Grimm.
My point is that without Concrete evidence that we shouldn't say Kelly is a Grimm without making it clear that it is implied rather than 100% confirmed.
Unless confirmed by the Head writers which are G&K or shown/stated in the show than it shouldn't be taken as 100% cannon. The show works with multiple writers and ideas get tossed around all the time that get declined by G&K in the end. Unless he worked on the last episode I don't take what he said into consideration.
Do you know for sure if he worked on the last episode or not?
Kouf is saying that Kelly Nick's son is part of the blood-of-your-ancestors-and-strength-of-your-family thing which is only referring to grimms (see below).
Marie and Kelly tell Nick in "The End" that "The strength of your blood, the blood of your Grimm ancestors" we can defeat evil.

KOUF: But we also really wanted someone to tell us, “This is not a myth, a legend, or a fairy tale. This really happened.” And it seemed like the person to say that would be his son: “Because my father told me so.” And it also wrapped up the whole blood-of-your-ancestors-and-strength-of-your-family thing, as well.

Where is it explictly stated or shown? If you have to do any inferring or assumptions than it isn't 100% fact. I can infer that Kelly is half Zauberbiest because Adalind is a Hexenbiest. We know from Renard that only 1 parent needs to be a Hexenbiest for this to happen. But I would be infering because it wasn't stated no matter how much my facts add up.
The two things we don't know for sure: Is Kelly a Grimm (it's a recessive gene) and did he learn magic (I remember a line about how Elizabeth didn't teach Sean magic as a child since they were on the run from the Queen).
Kelly could simply be good at drawing. The drawings in the book weren't professional level drawings. I can draw better than that. He also could have learned to draw in the 20 years we didn't see. Also I don't remember it ever being stated in the show that being a Grimm makes you a good drawer.
The ony thing we know about Kelly is that he is fighting Wesen along side his family and Monroe and Rosalee kids. Nowhere was it stated he was a Grimm. Just like you are assuming he is a Grimm because he was writing in a Grimm book we can assume he is also a Zauberbiest as the trailer also had spell books. Niether one was stated. Not by the show and not by the writers.
If we did get a spin off featuring Kelly, Diana and the Triplets I would like for:
1) Kelly to be a Zaubergrimm. Have similar abilities to his mother like Telekinesis, Pyrokinesis, etc. Alone not as powerful as Diana but he inherits the stick around his 21st birthday from Nick amplifying his abilities to that of Diana level or beyond.
2) Diana to basically be Jean Grey phoenix level by time she was 28 which would be about the 20 year jump. She was already immensely powerful before when she was a baby.
3) The triplets can be a hybrid despite what was said about them being which ever gene was dominate. However if they were just half Blutbad and half Fusbau they would be weaker than a full blutbad but possibly stronger than a Fusbau. So it wouldn't really matter. If they get full qualities of both than they would only be slightly stronger than a full blutbad.
Blutbad and Fusbau share similar qualities that making them a hybrid wouldn't really matter.
We don't know for sure Kelly is a grimm. He hunts Wesen with his family. Doesn't make him a grimm seeing as most of the people hunting wesen with him aren't outside of Nick. Triplets are Frausbua/Blutbad, Diana and Adalind are Hexenbiest. Never confirmed.
I personally think he is a Zaubergrimm.
Juilette ended her own relationship with Nick. Adalind had nothing to do with that. Juilette cheated on him, tried to kill, tried to kill his friends and played a huge role in his mothers death. Yet for some reason you think Nick and Juilette should end up together. Child bye.
Also Juilette never sacrificed her life for Nick. I don't remember this happening. She helped Regrimm Nick so he could save Monroe. Monroe and Rosalee has helped Juilette countless times, so she should have wanted to do anything to help them like they would do for her.
That had nothing to do with it. Bitsie got twice the screen time in Season 5 than Claire Coffee.
I prefer Nick and Adalind. Juilette and Nick died the moment she burned the trailer and played a role in his mother's death. Not to mention when she cheated on him and tried to kill him. Whatever happens relationship wise I could care less. If Nick and Juilette do get back together(They won't) she better be apologizing to the heavens for her actions.
As far as the topic at hand:
1. I kinda agree with this. Adalind has 3 powerful spell books+Powerful Potion book and powerful Hexenbiest abilities but they aren't utilizing them. Personally I would have loved to see them explore this more. So much to be explored when it comes to Hexenbiest. Hate how Adalind was sidelined these past 2 and half seasons in favor of Juilette.
As far as Renard not remembering I find it acceptable. Reason being it does happen in real life were people remember things later on that could have helped them in an earlier situation. Granted it should have been executed a little better. Renard should have had a come to knowledge moment. Meaning he would have to think about any spells or Hexenbiest Knowledge that might help him.
2. I thought that was dumb too. They simply needed a way to bring Truble back while dealing with wrapping up the BC stuff. I understand people like Truble but she didn't need to be brought back as she isn't really that important.
3. Once again they needed a way to bring Truble back. Some fans wanted to see her in the finale so the writers did everything in thier power to bring her back. No logical explanation on this one.
4. I am fine with this because we actually don't know why the Zestorer wants Kelly. People already specualted he would be important to the plot.
5. Now I disagree. Nick isn't going to leave Portland or his friends in danger. The Stick is also the only thing that might give Nick a slight chance to win against the Zestorer. I mean eventually the Zestorer would find Nick regardless.
6. I am fine with this because it was never explained how she became a hexenbiest in the first place. Alot of Speculation but no actual confirmation. So we can basically do the same thing as to why she lost her Hexenbiest powers.
Personally I wish they never made her a Hexenbiest in the first place because it didn't add any thing to the mythology of Hexenbiest. Adalind got sidelined and basically because of this we really didn't get to see anything new spell wise.
7. I agree with this. It has actually been 11 months since Rosalee found out she is pregnant but yet there is no baby. LOL.
8. The only people who seemed invested in the Grimms and Diana was Freddrick and Eric. The other royals didn't really care. They were just doing what Freddrick said to get into his good graces. Him and Eric is dead. None of the other royals care what goes on in portland.
Grimm is NBC while Supernatural is CW. The networks have different viewership standards.
If a CW show was bringing in the ratings Grimm is bringing in it would be the most successful shown currently on the CW.
He is Natural born. He is just extremely skilled.
Elizabeth was able to stop time and is the only hexenbiest shown to do so thus far. Henritta caused Juilette to see an illusion the first time she went to her house. Adalind Telekinetically busted all the windows out the police cars for a whole block from just screaming. Not to mention she was able to make the dude that was going to shoot Meisnet shoot himself with just a look.
As far as Juilette being stronger than born Hexenbiest that is nothing more than an assumption of everyones part because they never encountered something like this before. They have admitted countless times they don't know. As far as on screen feats she hasn't done anything that would indicate she is superior.
Just because she changed her name doesn't change what she did. She tried to kill Adalind even when she was aware of the baby. Juilette is still apart of Eve. Why would Adalind or Nick allow their child around someone like that? Would you allow your child around someone who tried to kill you while you was pregnant? Doubtful.
Even as Eve she still causing trouble for Nick and Adalind by making threats towards Adalind. You can change your name and change your looks but it doesn't change who you are. Eve is still Juilette she just doesn't want to deal with the things she did.
Well he will be part Zauberbiest for sure but I don't know about Grimm. Look at Renard who is half Royal, half Zauberbiest. I don't see why there would be a difference between him and Kelly.
