User blog comment:Zathronas/Speculative author: Where are the Grimm?/@comment-25294232-20140920064844

I'm sorry, but the concept of killing CFVY just seems an absolute literary waste. Killing them without even a proper introductions does nothing to show the threat level of the grimm,as all it does is provide fodder.

Tuckson didn't make Emerald and Mercury intimidating. He was absolutely immaterial. Their personal actions in killing him made them intimidating.

CFVY dying would do nothing because there's no investment.

They're nonfirst years, you say? So what? Without any provided context, your average viewer would just write them off as a garbage team that died.

There are ways to make someone or something intimidating. Throwing completely unknown characters away for them isn't it.

It's the statistic rule. If the audience doesn't know them, they're literally just a number.
