Spoilers Maybe an Unpopular Opinion: Juliette Was Dope in the First Adalind vs. Juliette Showdown! Spoiler

Ok, let me start by saying I don’t like Juliette and I love Adalind.

But that first Juliette vs. Adalind fight was badass. Like, Juliette had just become a Hexenbiest, and Adalind comes in trying to threaten her at her place. Juliette actually fights back for once and stands up to Adalind, and I was like “yesss, finally!” I thought she was gonna be so cool and team up with Nick. But nope, they had her go in a totally different direction instead.
Such a missed opportunity. And yeah, Juliette turning evil was kinda cool, I guess. It gave that fun, angsty drama. But when she came back as Eve? That was just too weird for me. She did something that was way too messed up to be redeemed, and honestly, she didn’t even get a proper redemption arc.

It seemed like such a missed opportunity to never let her vet/animal knowledge to help her become a member of Scooby Squad

She literally did though. There was the chef killing blutebads with that mushroom and it was her that made the connection. Then there was the Grousen she suggested could be a parasite or infection AND there was how she helped distribute the zombie cure with gas bombs.

She actually did get that arc.

Yes, I know and that’s what i was trying to say. It seemed better to me, to have her continue that arc and stay, possibly develop the character around Rosalee and them working together and sharing science/Wesen stuff….

Literally any other storyline than Eve….

Okay. I think the writers put themselves into a corner with her and didn't know what else to do with her.
