For clarity, your complaint is the modern telling of 'Grendel' butchered the classic story (featuring killer character of the aforementioned name), Beowulf?

No,Grendel is an indie comic form the 1980s by Matt Wagner starting with a character called Hunter Rose as Grendel. The actual series is about a legacy character and exploring how a persona could be used by different people for different purposes (both good and evil) though out history. It doesn't even stick to people putting on masks to fight people, the legacy is much more than that.
Like the poem grendel he is darkness agression and rage, he is a monster wich is only free when he dons the mask, that`s why people nickname him the devil.
He isnt a anti ehroe he isnt a ood boy turned evil he is a narcisitic evil manipulative child later man wich will do anything to get what he wanted .
The tv show just desroyed the origin, the premise and did a total miss cast .
