It's been a few days and I've come to the conclusion that I hated that finale.

I don't know why you would make a show about Maul just to have him suck. not only did we not get any new insight into maul and his crew, but he also sucks at fighting. so Why are we here? We already know he's going to fail at everything anyway, so genuinely what's the intrigue anymore? What is the point of watching maul at all if we're not getting something new?

I really didn't want Vader to be in this show, but if it's going to happen don't lessen maul just so Vader can be cool. Rewatching that fight has me so pissed off😂. At some points maul is literally just standing there weakly poking at Vader and somehow not able to hit him even while vader is completely occupied. That shit is so lame. If Vader fights like a cardboard cutout don't slow everyone else down to accommodate his janky ass. I'm so tired of arbitrary star wars fights where genuinely nothing matters. This finale was for Vader fans and not maul fans.

The leg wasn't even a good excuse because the writers just allow Maul to jump around and do crazy shit when it's convenient, but fall apart when he's fighting. His leg is damaged, sure, but that doesn't mean he suddenly forgot how to block? why is he letting everyone hit his leg over and over?

It's crazy that this show has made me feel like I like Maul less now because I'm just wasting my time. the only thing that I'm interested in seeing in season 2 is him having a genuine connection with Devon, but I have a feeling that won't happen either. It's going to be more basic surface level shit. I want to explore the side of maul we never get to see and nothing else. Stop wasting my time.

In season 2 I want emotion and inner-conflict and connection. I want Devon to actually grow to care about maul and challenge him to be better in ways he's unfamiliar with. I want to see how he handles caring about someone else after his revelation that he treated his brother like shit. Give me something to bite into. I'm so clocked out of Maul's story at this point. It's just the same shit over and over. I want to see maul crawling and clawing his way out of the depths and get so close to the light that it's devastating when he falls down again.

And he better beat the breaks off of every inquisitor he comes across.

Totally agree with everything you said. Im trying to believe theyre setting stuff up for season 2 but how are we supposed to be excited when the status quo is failure. Maybe we're delulu and Maul has always been this lame but his fighting technique went to shit in the final episode.
