Comparisons between Maul and Vader in season two finale
Maul came out undoubtedly better off as a result of this episode than Vader did. What are your thoughts on the comparisons of the portrayals of both characters in this episode ?

Re: Re: Comparisons between Maul and Vader in season two finale
Ok, I see where this is going. Sheep mentality. Let me illuminate your skewed opinion which was shaped by others.
First off he defeated Kanan. He blinded him. That's hugely significant. He killed multiple Inquisitors and showed himself to be more dominating than either Tano or Kanan against them. He planted the seeds to lure Ezra to the dark side. He manipulated all the good guys to ultimately aid in his agenda. Maul is on his own side.
Vader acts in the service of the emperor. He also had the aid of the Inquisitors who were all put out of their misery. Vader shows up. Vader shows he can force push Tano but this made no lasting effect just as Maul wasn't hurt by falling off either. Tano previously force pushed him so it showed he is susceptible to her force attacks as well. What's even more amusing is that she showed up and wrecked his helmet. Vader was unable to act in time to stop her charge and slashing attack. Vader then attacks her with her attention diverted and she holds her own again.
Vader is seen hobbling and injured at the end of the episode. Maul is seen flying off planet completely unaffected in his tie fighter. Maul blinded Kanan, killed two Inquisitors, tempted Ezra, and escaped off world.
Vader showed up, failed to lure Tano, was badly hurt by Tano, failed to even injure her or anyone for that matter, and hobbled like a broken and cyborg as the episode faded to blade.
Ps. Being blind and using the force makes no difference. We see ANH Luke block laser fire with little to no training blindfolded.
As I said Maul came out way more effective than gimpy Vader.

That is an opinion. We haven't seen the two go head to head. Maul did fine against Tano Vader's former student who walked away fine while he hobbled away. Quit excusing facts in place of opinions. Horrific debating 101.

Kanan force pushed him and got away. He survived against Vader. He was blinded by Maul and saved by Tano. I know these facts seem to be getting in the way of your bias but try to be a little objective in the future.

That is Maul's opinion you illiterate boob. If I say someone will beat me without facing me that's an opinion until we battle. You don't even know what an opinion is.
Maul is also a master manipulator. He tried killing Kanan later on as well as Tano. So please quit picking and choosing what he meant and what he didn't mean.
