I don’t see much complaints on the lack of focus Shere Khan from The Jungle Book (1967) got, so why complain about the lack of focus the Storm King got?

Hell, Grievous was more intimidating than him!

Oh, come on. Grievous wasn’t that disappointing.

@Background Pony #B36C  
Yep when he was in his original body, his shape was similar to his robotic structure.

Funny thing you compared the Storm King to General Grievous. Because I thought I wasn’t the only one to have thought of the connection. Both are my favorite villains.
 
Also, I have a theory: if the Storm King was revived as a cyborg, he’d look like General Grievous.

@PurpleWonderPower
 
All right.

@Scrounge  
I know that.

@PurpleWonderPower  
You’re certainly entitled to your opinion, I’d just like you to acknowledge that not everyone sees it that way.

@Scrounge  
I personally thought the Storm King was a pretty great villain.

@PurpleWonderPower  
Sludge at least wasn’t meant to come across as more than he did. He was meant to just be a lazy freeloader, whereas the Storm King was supposef to be an imposing evil overlord type and whatever your personal feelings on the character are, you can’t deny that a significant number of us felt he fell short.

@Shimmering Spectacle  
He was an antagonist and a fraud, which is close enough.

@PurpleWonderPower  
He wasn’t exactly a villain, just some character to annoy the crap out of us fans.

What about Sludge? I think he’d top any character from any show as the worst villain of all times.

@Background Pony #6B0E  
Or Shere Khan from The Jungle Book (1967)

@Shimmering Spectacle  
That’s completely understandable.

@Scrounge  
Oh I forgot about her.

@Shimmering Spectacle  

@Scrounge  
Who’s phasma?

I will say this about Grievous: At least he’s not Phasma.

@genervt  
I can understand that, but I just don’t see how that Grievous has gained such a reputation of fear when his usual strategy is to send his Droids in to weaken the enemy rather than take them on himself. He would send in Magnaguards to weaken one Jedi, while the 2003 Grievous would order his Droids to stand down while he went five to one. Plus whenever he loses a limb or two his first instinct is to retreat and order his Droids to attack instead of stepping his game up.
 
I guess it’s a matter of personal preference.

@Jacktheguy  

 
I prefer Combat Pragmatist  
He can defeat pretty much everyone but the best Jedi Knights and even they have much trouble with him.  
He also is willing to fight dirty and ruthlessly uses every advantage he can get.  
If he realizes he is losing he has no problem to retreat before he gets killed and wait for another chance.  
This and this are other examples.

If you want to see how it it done just quote my comment.

@genervt  
But that’s what was so impressive about 2003 Grievous: even against Jedi Masters he was keeping up through sheer skill and ferocity. He only retreated when the odds were overwhelmingly against him (he only retreated when that LAAT gunship began opening fire on him). Even against a room of armed Clones and Senate guards he was able to outmaneuver them and cut them all down with little to no difficulty. Canon Grievous retreated all the time.
 
In my opinion, 2003 Grievous is far more impressive, intimidating and a more enjoyable rendition of the character. The other Grievous is just a typical, cowardly villain.
 
Oh and I tried that, but it never worked for some reason.

@Jacktheguy  
Killing a Jedi Knight IS impressive (even surviving against a Jedi is); especially if you can´t use the Force.  
That was also just one example.
 
 
And to be honest I think that the Grievous of 2003 is ridiculously overpowered and might even be able to defeat Darth Sidious.
 
We can agree to disagree.

@genervt  
Wow, he managed to kill a lone Jedi Knight. How impressive. Meanwhile, the 2003 Grievous was taking on groups of Jedi masters with ruthless efficiency and skill.
 
Compare his little encounter with Nahdar to this:

@Scrounge  
You should really watch Moana.
