28 Days of Grimm – Day 8 (Favorite Fandom In-Joke)

serveandfolly:

I don’t know any, sadly, so I’m going to have to make up my own category today, and that category is … Favorite Mom! It’s interesting to think that we meet all the main characters’ moms. This one isn’t a shoe-in because I love hating Catherine Schade, but Kelly is such a powerhouse. Her wit and gravitas really class up the joint

OP’s tag: #renard’s mother was played by a woman 3 years older than sasha roiz

This will never not be funny to me. I know they handwaved it with the implication that she used magic to look younger, but STILL.

Totally love Kelly, love this, category accepted!

The strength of your blood, the blood of your Grimm ancestors, all of us it’s inside you. It’s what makes us who we are. Trubel too. The strength we need that we all need comes from our family. It’s where we’ve always found the way and the will to fight. And with that, we can defeat any evil. Together.

What I loved most and what I found particularly powerful was Nick being surrounded by female Grimms, women who are integral to his life and propelled him forward throughout everything. Seeing Nick with his mother, aunt, and Trubel, fighting together was incredibly epic!

Agreed! One of the things this show has always done incredibly well, IMO, is having a male protagonist surrounded by women without making those women seem like accessories.

Each woman on this show is powerful, and each one has her own story. And the fact is that Nick would not be who he is–would not have won this final fight at all–if it weren’t for these amazing women who’ve shaped him throughout his life. Particularly Kelly Sr. and Marie.
