2D Grievous: A unstoppable badass killing machine 3D Grievous: Constantly uses the Joestar's secret technique

A lot of people mistake Grievous retreating and escaping constantly as cowardice. I don't know about you, but recognizing a situation where you're outmatched and getting out of there is a great skill to have in a general.

Curiously, after Grievous' death, he would become a god in the religious pantheon of his people, even having his own dedicated temple. Meanwhile, his metallic skull became a fine addition in Admiral Thrawn's art collection

He’s incredibly pathetic in one sense, but at the same time utterly terrifying. Sure if you’re Obi Wan, you can probably take him. But for an average Jedi or clone trooper, the dude is basically a horror villain.

Dooku: fallen Jedi Grievous: organic being turned murderous cyborg slave to a Dark Lord Maul: Sith driven by rage Vader: all three previous villains rolled into one

Vile: Im going to treat legends material as canon Everyone Liked That.

“Army or not, you must realize that you are doomed.”

"Your Lightsabers will make a fine addition to my Collection" General Grievous. Still retaining the trophy hunting traditions of his people and the mark of a villain to collect trophies from his víctims

I love that the entirety of the Clone Wars show needed to make sure that Anakin never meets Grievous before the third prequel movie just because Anakin says the “You’re shorter than I imagined” line

My thoughts on Mr Grievous: I think he needs a hug, but he'd probably kill whoever tried.

"Ah yes, the Analyzer!"

*Fun Fact:* Grievous, in the Japanese dub, is voiced by Old Joseph Joestar's seiyuu. That certainly explains why he loves running away from battles so much. 😂😂😂

Grievous’ debut at the Battle of Hypori is still the greatest villain introduction I have ever seen.

Hello there

2003 Clone Wars Grievous is easily still one of the most Badass Star Wars Antagonists to this day. I rewatch 2003 Clone Wars all the time for his scenes. Genndy made him OP AF in that show until Lucas's Team said "He has a cough in the movie" and last minute they added Mace crushing his chest haha. Still such a Beast

There's a comic book where Grievous finds an abandoned Jedi Temple, filled with different traps similar to the ones he made in his own lair, he finds a waterfall which gives him a brief moment of experiencing the force. As punishment, it gives him a vision of who he used to be in his Kaleesh body, and that no matter what he suffered through, no matter how justified he might believe his actions are, in the end it doesn't change him. Because hatred makes people smaller, like him, and shows how much of his body and identity he has lost. Afterwards, Grievous escapes and bombs the temple, and watches for hours as it burns. "For all your talk of power...You BURN just as easily!" Happy Star Wars Month! I'd love to see you cover Kylo Ren or Darth Plagueis Next!

I love how you pointed out that Grievous was the perfect pawn of terror. It brings to mind that the easiest way to unite a people is give them a “security risk” to their luxury.

Some real Vlad III vibes with Grievous' story. A brutal product of a brutal time and place, responsible for things that would get you ended for war crimes, yet is also considered a hero depending on who you ask.

A terrifically underrated villain. Thank you for covering him.

I was never into Star Wars as a kid but I always loved this guy's design

Grievous in legends is one of the most fleshed out, terrifying characters in all of Star Wars. Grievous in canon is a two dimensional villain who runs away more than he fights.

"I was expecting someone with your reputation to be a bit ...older"

"Run Jedi, run! You only prolong the inevitable."

Something to note about Grievous and Dooku is that Dooku *despised* Grievous. To Dooku, lightsaber combat was a beautiful form of art, precise and surgical which is the stark opposite of how Grievous fights. And that's without mentioning his signature move of spinning the lightsabers around like helicopter blades.

There are Jedi killers in the setting Dredge, The Fetts, Cad Bane etc all use tech that’s notably useful against Jedi, can’t reflect a flamethrower or slug thrower with a lightsaber… General Grevious was the only one to do it by beating them in their preferred method of combat. Developed a technique that dismantled their defenses dude was a warrior through and through.

I got the impression the declaration he made to his droid doctor, proclaiming he chose to 'improve' himself, was mostly a denial it was forced on him.

I feel kind of bad for Grevis. He was made into a monster by the republic and separatists.

At least he got his warrior's death. He was a terrible person, but ultimately, at least after all his suffering, he didn't have to suffer an end that he would have hated.

Legends is the true canon not Disney's As a die hard star wars fan I appreciate you covering Legends continuity of the villainous characters of this series

I still remember him in the original Clone Wars cartoon (Samurai Jack style). Bro was TERRIFYING !!!!

Grievous was once a tragic man, But he died a vicious monster.

Darth Plagueis would be a very fascinating character study. The novel is excellent as well.

An episode on Grand Admiral Thrawn is an absolute must! His use of methodical study on the specific grievances of each disenfranchised peoples aiding in the New Republics rise to power & then the use of that knowledge to exploit unique weaknesses is next level. I feel this makes him the perfect villain to combat the New Republic, a government that would’ve largely been comprised of mid-rim & outer-rim worlds who were disenfranchised by the Republic & then later in some cases, literally enslaved by the Empire. Many CIS systems pledged support to the rebellion for this very reason.

Congratulations! You analyzed all three prequel villains that foreshadowed Anakin’s transformation to Vader.

In the words of sheev palpatine... A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

I would like to suggest: - Analyzing Evil: Park Yeon-jin from The Glory - Analyzing Evil: Thor "The Swede" Gundersen from Hell on Wheels - Analyzing Evil: Frank from Once Upon a Time in the West

i’d like to see grand admiral thrawn next, he’d be interesting i’d think

A fine addition to my collection..

I don't know what this says about me that the two KZfaqrs guaranteed to make me squeal with glee when I see them in my feed are so distinct. The Vile Eye, where the most heinous villains in fiction are given an objective, incredibly knowledgeable, in-depth look and narrated by a young Anton La Vey with a sinisterly hypnotic deep voice... or Ryan George, with a pleasant, ever-smiling Canadian face whose comedic skits and hilarious movie synopses are "super wholesome, barely an inconvenience." It's weird how two channels with such different vibes can make me happy and entertained!

thank you so much, General Grievous is one of my favourite Characters in star wars, use to be kind of a fanboy for the murderous Cyborg, from his design, unique combat, character, his cough and his reputation. The fact he was able to contend with hundred of Jedi with his raw Cybernetic prowess, he someone that made the droids armies quit deadly, willing to do what it takes to achieve victory, and yet he try to hold onto his ancient culture, from his collecting of trophies, the mask he wears, the strive to improve his armour, and of course a warrior death, he very much the line "LET THE GALAXY BURN" due to his hatred and misery. one of my favourite story's that was in legends, was when grievous covet red lightsabres for his arsenal, he then caught wind of two young Jedi that turn to the sith and soon betray there masters, grievous hunted the two, and he found them, the fight between two skilled sith was hard and long, but grievous own raw hate overwhelm them, but when he came to claim his prize, he soon realise the two lightsabres of pure wonderful crimson, sunk into the acid bogs, his metal arms could not grab the crystals as they would melt, if he where Jedi he could use the force to bring them out, but he was not, and thus he was force to leave his prize deep in the bog, there crystals would remain there for hundreds of century's. the general hatred for fate boiled further. also another note, when grievous died, a stature was built by his people in honour for such a brutal warlord, and was worship as a god of war, his story of grief, vengeance and violence inspired many warriors of his planet, rumour is that he was reunited with the one he lost so long ago.

*Tales of the Empire* finally did him justice. For those who aren’t experienced Jedi, I imagine most people would find him terrifying. EDIT: We definitely need a *Tales of the Separatists* to explore his backstory.

This is unironically my favorite channel.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1579">26:19</a> This is why i love you so much man, you go into detail on what villians can do to have avoided their fall but also arent deluded in how they were limited to do so. The reason Grevious is so popular outside of his design is because he has legitimate grievances with the republic his story is emblematic of its failures and corruption. Simply telling a person/group of people who have suffered injustice at the hands of an institution to vote and petition when they are are being eradicated is insane let alone to punish them for fighting back. Would have been a more peaceable solution to display the Hucks crimes for all the republic to see in hopes of them taking action certainly but that leaves them at the mercy of a corrupt and ineffectual republic who have no vested interest in protecting the Kaleesh. Man I love the politics in star wars.

The Revenge of the Sith novelization even states that Grievous was meant to die. Palpatine was good with whatever the outcome was on Utapau as in his mind as it was meant to be a trap for Obi-Wan. Either Grievous would get him or order 66 would, as he put it, Grievous dying was an issue that would've inevitably had to be dealt with. Of course, he didn't forsee Obi-Wan surviving everything and maiming/killing all his pawns and fostering the seeds of Palpatine ultimate demise

A tragic villian in every sense. Qyman Jai Sheelal: General Grievous!

What makes him dangerous is that he’s extremely skilled, but at the same time he absolutely doesn’t hold back on using cheap tricks to overpower his opponents. He‘s often misjudged as a coward and a mindless killing machine, but the title of general didn’t come from nothing. He thinks ahead, he’s intelligent and he has a very tactical mind in both direct duels, but also tactics in both ground assaults and space battles. I‘d love to see more of him in the future, maybe even a spin-off series dedicated to his backstory.

The man Grievous was before his transformation into a cyborg was a righteous war hero waging battles against the expansionist slavers that were the Yam'rii as far as I see it, and his backstory hinging on the failings of the Republic and the moral fall of the Jedi into dogma and politics makes his change into the aforementioned cyborg all the more ironic. Every single Jedi he slew, the Jedi Order can blame themselves and the Republic for their deaths, they created Grievous by driving Sheelal to the brink. One of Star Wars' greatest and most tragic characters, but at least Grievous had the honor of a warrior's death by Obi-Wan and went down in Kaleesh history as a god. All that said, i really think a TV show exploring Grievous's backstory would be amazing. Or at least there's potential there

Between the Saiyans, Viltrumites, and now the Kaleesh, there seems to be a lotta space Spartans in fiction

Yes please do more Star Wars characters, literally one of my favorite pieces of media

Analysing evil - Eric Cartman - Bojack horseman - T - bag (prison break) - Franklin Saint (snowfall) - Darkseid (DCAU) - Owlman (crisis on infinite earths justice league) - Christopher Moltisanti - Cell DBZ - Odin GOW - Chucky - Ghost and Tariq st Patrick (power) -Smaug -Aku - The Decepticons (Aligned continuity especially) - Homelander -Daleks - Thragg and the viltrumite empire - Vought industries (The boys) - The man in black or Ben (Lost) -The general (prison break) - Teddy long (snowfall) - Slade (teen titans) - Raymond reddington (the blacklist) - Nick cotton(eastenders) - Dushane and Sully (top boy) - Rick Sanchez - Chris McLean (total drama) - Friend (20th century boys) - Senator Armstrong - Negan (walking dead) - Gyp Rossetti (boardwalk empire) - the characters and themes of the players club - the wicked witch of the west - Silco (arcane) - Rico (paid in full) - Bricktop (snatch) - Regina George (mean girls) - the shredder (tmnt 03 or 2012) - The Lich (adventure time) - Shane (the walking dead) - Ralph cifaretto (sopranos) - Gaston (beauty and the beast) - Colonel William tavington - Ultron (mcu) - SCP 682 (scp) Decided to repost some potential characters with added ones others suggested I definitely feel like you can chew on with great takes and the thematic/moral history. Anyone else can add any that are also worthy.

Another great episode! I especially loved Grievous in the Clone Wars shorts where he was portrayed like a force of nature, a nightmare the Jedi had a reason to fear the moment they heard his voice, and a fighting style that made full use of Tartakovsky's awesome battle scene choreography. Future potential villains to analyze I can think of are: John Ryder (Hitcher) The Ultimate Despair (Danganronpa) The High Evolutionary (Guardians of the Galaxy 3)

Thank you, Analyzing Evil. General Grievous will forever be my favorite Star Wars character

Movie Grievous vs Legends Grevious is the best definition of coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb

Can’t wait to see more Star Wars villains get analyzed. There are so many, like Grand Admiral Thrawn, Grand Moff Tarkin, Jabba the Hutt, Darth Revan, Darth Malak, the Sith Triumvirate, and Ventress. Just don’t cover Snoke or Kylo Ren, they aren’t worth it.

Bro, this is my FAVORITE Star Wars character!! You made my day Mr. Analyzing Evil, thank you!!!!

I love Grievous. I was totally intrigued when I first seen him, and it was actually in the first season of The Clone Wars. I was sepculating who is actually hiding behind that mask. I loved then exploring him in the Legends material as well as seeing his best action in the 2003 microseries.

Analyzing Evil Magneto from X men

Here are some suggestion. -Emperor of Mankind (?) from Warhammer 40K, this would be more of a debate if he is even evil or not but I like to hear what you would say about him -Akira Nishikiyama from Yakuza -Gwyn Lord of Cinder from Dark Souls -Cyrus from Pokemon

Zeke Yeager from Attack on Titan, Vern Schillinger from Oz, The Governor from The Walking Dead or Boyd Crowder from Justified.

1000% correct on your choice to include legends

I vastly preferred Legends Grievous to what Disney turned him into. They stripped a great deal of his depth that made me love his character so much when I was a teenager. When The Dragon Prince reaches its conclusion, I'd love to see you cover the Startouch Elf, Aaravos.

General Grievous is probably my favourite Star Wars characters. I love his design (one of my favourite robot/cyborg designs in sci-fi). His story in Legends is really tragic one. He is also really cool & scary, someone who became known as Jedi killer despite not having Force abilities.

When the vile eye posts a grievous video: ”a surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one”

It's important to not that to the Kaleesh not getting a proper burial means no afterlife regardless of achievements. So to loose Ronderu lij Kummar's body at sea was a massive blow to Qymaen jai Sheelal because it meant they would be separated for an eternity. Being put in a synthetic insectoid like body was also a huge insult. Especially when layered with the fact he was now made to be an enslaved world conquer with mindless drones replacing his skilled elite. He was made into everything he hated.

Dude your voice is just so soothing. Have you ever considered doing audiobooks or sleep stories?

Star Wars is really missing villains like grevious these days

Grievous was raised and lived in a warlike culture on the outskirts of known galaxy, where there were no real laws and institutions. In these places only might makes right, so it's not surprised that people hailing from these places like Grievous or Anakin (Tatooine is also Outer Rim/Hutt Space) were likely to resort into taking situation into their own hands, instead of relying on courts, laws or restraint in their actions. It's not really surprising that Grievous lashed out against cruel universe in the only way he knew, through violence and losing himself to it. I am also not sure if we can apply human morality to an alien like Grievous. Overall a very interesting character with some tragic undertones, if presented properly.

On the Star Wars note. Two requests. Revan and Starkiller

As a certified grievous simp, thank you for this

About time this Jedi Hunter cyborg gets some spotlight! Btw his 2003 animated form is at PEAK

Referencing the old good expanded universe stuff? Oh boy, I am hyped.

One of the best Star Wars villains ever

DAE want Frank Underwood from House of Cards analysis?

Holy cow! Grievous is one of my favorite Star Wars characters, also today is my last day of high school as a senior so thanks for the new episode! Could a potential episode be on Xerxes from 300?

If you have the time sir I would love it if you could cover characters from the Warhammer 40k universe, like the emperor of mankind, or his traitorous sons like Horus, Lorgar, Mortarion, Konrad Curze, Angron, Magnus, Fulgrim, Perturabo, and Alpharius omegon. Thankyou for all the hard work you do and the fantastic videos you put out and I hope that you consider my proposal.

Thank you very much for including the Legends content. It adds such a rich and nuanced narrative to these complex characters.

ANALYSISING EVIL TIGHTEN FROM MEGAMIND

You should do Dio at some point he’s a fucking menace

Awesome video!! General Grievous is my favorite Star Wars character. His 2003 clone wars debut is so incredible to this day

With all the new material that has come out since you’re Palpatine video, I would absolutely love for you to remaster it. Thank you so much for all you do. Every video you make is a masterpiece.

General Vile Eye... you are a bold one!

Lucas' worst decision after not keeping the Jar Jar twist, was making Grievous cannon fodder, a white, spider robot jedislayer would be very entertaining to watch in a movie.

An Analyzing Evil on Hego Damask also known as Darth Plagueis would be so interesting. Such a complex and interesting character with tons of information. The book Darth Plaguies by James Luceno is an absolute gem of legends continuity.

What a wonderfully well-thought out backstory for this character.

You should one about Tohru Adachi from Persona 4. He's the best antagonist from the franchise, and one of the best portrayals of a psychopath, born from isolation, that I've seen on a videogame.

Thank you, as someone who is still new and learning the Star Wars lore I really appreciate this video and how tragic General grievous backstory is. 👍🏾

definitely need to see a video covering the original Planet of the Apes villains or at least just Dr Zaius from the first movie

Glad to see you covering star wars again, especially legends material. Would love to see you cover the likes of Kreia and Tarkin in the future.

This will make an excellent addition to my collection.

his story isnt that unlike Anakin's. its amazing to see that there are more parallels than just both being cyborg's

I appreciate you adding in Expanded Universe Lore to your videos. It warms the heart to see the old ways still live on in fans.

His ranks of challengers have waxed and waned over the years, but Grievous has always been my favorite SW character, and this video is vindication. Masterfully done - you did true justice to the General!

Analyzing Evil: Tom Ripley

Finally you do a Video about General Grievous! This Video will do a fine addition to my collection! I would like to see in the next episode Tai Lung!

There are two stories I think are very good when discussing the inner workings of his mind. His interaction with a Jedi temple where he communed with the cosmic force and out of the confusion he resorted to violence and rejected the notion of change as he was too far gone at that point. The second story is when he fought a certain Jedi he was so impressed with her that when she was defeated he placed her body in the corner in order to give her a dignified death. His psyche was torn asunder by the conflicting life he had after the changes and his life prior to it.

I appreciate you including "Legends" details. They truly have a lot to add to the characters to the point that Disney just ends up adopting more and more expanded universe stuff to their own canon as they go on. Also I gotta say it, man; you really are the perfect dude to be "analyzing evil". You look like you'd be right at home wearing a druidic robe, face obscured by a large hood, ready to take people to meet someone or, something, that's openly only ever referred to as "The Dark Lord". You look like you've existed across generations in service to said Dark Lord and if people look at ancient drawings, paintings, or engravings of past events they might see you depicted in such. You really got the perfect look for your content and it's sick as hell.

You have a goated narrator voice

PLEASE do Vitiate/Darth Vitiate/Emperor Valkorion, A.K.A. The Sith Emperor.

Love what you’re doing man keep up the great work

Yes! My favorite SW character. His initial introduction in the 2003 cartoon, is what first got me into SW. I love that you included Legends, it makes him so much more than just a monster. It makes him into this increadibly tragic character too.
