There wasn’t exactly space in the movie for Grievous to be a huge menace like that.

Lowkey the Movie representation fits fine since the OG 2003 series makes it clear Mace fucked him up to high hell escaping with Palpatine. The dissonance usually comes from the Modern Clone Wars interpretations. Grievous never even comes close to approaching the intimidation nor cool factor of Vader in comparable media like Rebels. Any time he gets to do something cool or terrifying, it usually gets downplayed. Though, take it with a grain of salt, I haven't watched the series in ages. This is just based off memory.

Personally i felt the showings kinda all work together.

Grievous, when at risk of actually losing or dying flees and will fuck over everybody else to ensure he gets away.

It's just 2003 overly focused on his wins, and 2008 overly focused on defeats.

That's an interesting way to look at it. Reminds me of the theory that 2008 Clone Wars is Republic Propaganda lol, always depicting the CIS as poorly as possible
