My thoughts as well! As a kid watching the show, it didn't seem obvious at first because Grim was usually the butt of some of the jokes while Mandy (and sometimes Billy) are usually written to be OP. Now as an adult rewatching the show, I'm realizing Grim could kick ass if he wants to (if the kid-friendly premise of the show didn't hold him back).
The show is good, but it really comes together with those. Because It's so easy to forget he's still the grim reaper. If anything it helps ease the empathy you feel for grim.
I love how Grim is able to go from absolutely terrifying to completely pathetic in an instant. Also, it just occurred to me that while Billy's not too bright, he is a damn good manipulator.
This actor went from the lord of the dark forces of the underworld to an ancient all-powerful guardian spirit… but he still can’t get away with protecting complete goofballs. You gotta love it.
I can never understand how my mother can hate this show and doesnt like me watching it when i was little.. This show was a great part of my childhood 😆
I love how the side characters start to just accept grim in the world and even to the point of just being done with him. The contrast of the mom at the beginning towards grim and the later episodes is so damn funny.
“Excuse me. Do you have a bandage? Cause I scraped my knee falling for you” as slightly cornball as it might seem you have to admit that is still a smooth pickup line 😂
This show and many others back in CN time was awesome it kept me from going insane as a child believe it or not. I went through depression at a young age but this show made me so happy and it made me feel same and laugh hard each time. Now I'm 28 yr old and plan to buy this show on dvd
28:41 - 28:54 Billy : "grim you know you did that force field thingy that kept the volcano from eating us"? Grim: " Yes" Billy "why didn't you use it to safe me from the chickens?" Grim "( joyful) "Because billy I don't like you" LMAO 😂😂😂😂😂
It's a legit good reason to get around what would be a plot hole. If he liked the kids, they'd probably get out of danger faster, but because he hates them he'd rather they suffer for a while or die. 😂
@Sage5347 my guess is they wanted more comedy, so they made Billy a complete retard. But the show didn't get funnier when he became stupid save for a few moments.
It's well-known that Grim's voice used to sound a lot more deep in the earlier seasons than the later ones but it didn't really bother me that much because I always loved Grim's voice so much.
>gets called ugly to his face “Yeah that’s the point” >says his breath stinks “Hey that’s going to far!” God this show was a trip and I loved every moment of it.
@@DgardsGaming yeah nowadays everybody wants to "play it safe." Kids will find out about stuff like this anyways. It's not even about what they see on tv it's about how you raise them.
@@DgardsGaming I think it's because the people bringing the cartoons to the big screen are too afraid to make anything that cannot be assured that it's profitable, hence the amount of reboots
Grim is one of my favorite characters who's always had me laughing with his voice using that Jamaican accent there, brings me back memories from watching Cartoonnetwork had good shows. 😂😂😂
3:15 "Let's try the personal ads. Fun loving female seeks mysterious dark stranger." Wow, these adult jokes went right over my head when I was a kid, not to mention the double whammy of the joke
I love him so freakin much!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍🖤🖤🖤🖤 i wish he had his own show!!!! I discovered him yesterday and now i can't get enough of him!!! He's so freakin cool!!
I freaked love Grim. I love his attitude and sometimes silly, like Billy. But I think he can be an A hole sometimes, in the show, but he has a heart ❤️. I mean he’s like freakin hilarious 😂.
Its really funny watching grim basically threatening Billy and mandy in one episode, and in the next, he's scared shitless by billy dressed up as a mummy
I wish this show would come back. They can bring it back with Billy and Mandy grown up and Grim still hanging out with them. It would be on Adult Swim. Grim would be forced to help Billy figure out adulthood and do adult stuff with him lol
CN seems to have a vendetta against either the show or the guy who made it, Maxwell Atoms. There was a sequel series (or a sequel movie, I cant remember) that was pitched but it got rejected.
Thing is tho, Mandy would be in prison, or dead, cuz her tendency to assault whoever she pleases, will do that, amd billy will be in a group home/mental ward
I feel so bad for death. In this continuity he’s the most powerful of all the four horsemen, and he just gets devoted to this in the show talk about mad, disrespect.
