comment |
Once upon a time, people told stories filled with danger lurking around every corner and important lessons. But as time passed, the stories got watered down into a pile of mushy stuff that would put Walt Disney to shame.In this episodic platformer, your player character is Grimm, a dirty dwarf who hates how the fairy tales have turned out and decides to bring back their darker aspects... by running around the settings of said tales, his very presence causing things to become as grim and gruesome as he is. The more things he darkens, the more powerful he becomes, allowing him to darken bigger objects and even people, until the whole setting and its inhabitants are grotesquely moulded to his satisfaction. |

Motive Decay |

comment |
Motive Decay: Grimm himself, in the IDW comics. Rather than wanting the stories he corrupts to mean something in the end and restore them to their macabre origins, he instead messes with things for the simple sake of making them shocking and subversive, often refusing to allow things to run their course by the corrupted world's standards until he's personally made the original ending completely unachievable. |

Affably Evil |
| | American McGee's Grimm (Video Game) / int_537dd8fe |
comment |
Affably Evil: mixed with a dash of Hidden Depths and Pet the Dog. The reason Grimm is doing this at all is because the stories he knows have been censored and otherwise Bowdlerized into fluff with aesops and scenarios that do not make sense when you think them through. He hates when evil and/or stupid people get away with misdeeds, and this includes protagonists who do morally questionable things at times. It's just that he tends to up the ante by a lot. He's just as often rooting for the protagonists as he is hoping they get theirs, and as a result, he In general makes the characters much smarter and quick to call each other out for their nonsense. Especially so with female protagonists, such as Cinderella and Mulan. |

Too Kinky to Torture: Grimm himself. Hit him hard enough to send him flying? He'll treat it like an amusement park ride along with an unironic "Wheeeee!". Getting the boot from an angel or Death himself? Ditto. However, this quickly gets subverted in later episodes, where he obviously does not like getting hit and sent flying. Perhaps it was fun at first, but the luster wore off quickly. |

Catchphrase: Grimm's motto is, "Happily Ever After" ends NOW!" Grimm usually ends his commentary on the light version of the story with "If you disagree with [x], play on." He also ends each episode with "May all our stories end so well! Until next time." |

Spoof Aesop: The ultimate result of much of Grimm's interference is such gems like "you can't get rid of cruelty in your own generation, so why bother?" and "Felines are cruel and vicious creatures who only help others out of the knowledge that they'll come off better in the long term". To show just how bad the Sugar Bowl is before Grimm comes along, these actually make more sense then the previous ones. |

Shout-Out |
| | American McGee's Grimm (Video Game) / int_c75df49a |
comment |
Shout-Out: To many films, such as The Terminator after Grimm grimmifies Iron John, and, more obscurely, Metropolis. At the end of the Golden Goose episode, Grimm plans to sail the ship the final level takes place in to Yoshi's Island. Even in the Puss in Boots story, after the Grimmification, he quotes the All Your Base Are Belong to Us meme from Zero Wing. In that episode, he also notes the repression of peasants and the violence inherent in the system. Finally, the bunny warrens get turned into the lagomorph version of an Alien nest. He also makes a reference to Shrek, when he mocks the idea of good ogres. In The Devil and His Three Golden Hairs, the devil speaks with a Scottish accent and mentions his 'belleh' and a 'turtle head'. The fourth issue of the comic has Grimm decide to grimmify a world which is one big copy of Pokémon. The fifth issue gives Grimm a clear Bone to pick, his plan being to finally reunite Captain Ersatzes of the three Cartoon Creature brothers so he can have them quickly offed in a "brilliant" ending. Grimm also gets annoyed at the comic's inability to have anything actually happen in a timely manner. |

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Grimm's goals include delivering retribution to Karma Houdinis and granting some folks who were victimized like Cinderella and Mulan some closure (with brutal revenge against their oppressors), but he commits a great deal of morally and ethically questionable acts to do so. |

Pet the Dog |

comment |
Pet the Dog: While Grimm is not all that pleasant, he's also shown several times to like the protagonists of the stories he reads. In Cinderella, for example, his issue stems from the father, step-mother and siblings not being properly punished despite the neglect and abuse the foist on a girl who in the version he reads, can only cry until her wishes are granted. His altered take on the same story has him make Cinderella not only smarten up but punish the people who made her life worse after her mother passed. In Iron John, as opposed to being simply greatful and nothing else, when the titular John's Curse is lifted, he recognizes that the prince's father and the princess' father are only trying to use him because he is a war hero, and makes the prince his heir to properly reward him. This is after he spent most of the rest of the altered story disparaging the prince and using him for his own ends. |
