The first thing I noticed about this scene cut is that Gmork's voice is different. It has a raspier voice in the German cut. The international version has a stronger voice.
Depending on which cut you watch, you may get different iterations of the creature. In the German cut, you almost feel sorry for him. The Gmork reveals that The Nothing has drained most of his power, and he has just enough to attack. The Nothing has used Gmork. The international cut, has him being more pure evil and shady, hiding in the shadows.
The “leave me alone” is not in the International version. It shows that he is weakened.
Both versions of the Gmork are a representation of depression and despair. I love that it recognizes that taking away hope and imagination means it can control people. As a child, some of these deeper concepts fly over your head.
