User blog comment:WarrenWitch/A Grimm Situation/@comment-3146930-20140929224552

I think the main problem is that we set our expectations for the CoG a bit too high. Looking at the opening narration, the Grimm almost destroyed humanity until they discovered how to use Dust and eventually drove the Grimm back. However this was back when humans were using swords, spears, and arrows as their main form of attack. In fact the show's foreshadowing play the Grimm up so much that when they do appear, we are let down.

Now in modern times, teens can have scythe-riffles and spear-guns. In the time of humanities creation to the present, technology has come a long way and the Grimm just aren't as dangerous as they once were. Obviously they are still dangerous, but at this point all they have are numbers.

However I do find something interesting. During one of the World of Remnant segments, they talk about entire populations vanishing overnight and later Velvet seems surprised more by the numbers of Grimm in the South-East. It is also of note that the scene with the Grimm in the city is pretty much the only scene not to appear in the show yet, but I could be wrong. I just hope the show isn't once again playing the Grimm up to let us down.
