No, that's not why the second and third sequels were bad. Star Wars has always had intimidating villains. Dooku was an eldritch creature equipped with intimidating powers and wealth, not to mention the master of the lightsaber. Sidious, who was, all things considered, the more dangerous of the two, was an astute strategist and manipulator who had all of the characters dancing to his tune. Was he a warrior? No, but when held at saberpoint in ROTS and attacked by Yoda in 3, he was unimpressed.
Sidious wasn't a fighter, but he doesn't have to be if that's not his role. He was dangerous through application of intellect and resources. Maul, on the other hand, was a very powerful adversary in the physical sense and that was why Sidious sought to use him as a weapon.
Fixed.
Meh, to each his own. I can accept that people just have personal preferences. But imo, The Joker is characteristically and themeatically one of the all time greats out there, on top of being one of the sharpest written and performed villians of all time and just all around badass on top of it all.

He'd whoop that toad Beckett in any contest. 😛
