Tbh, I didn't watch all of TCW, because I don't care that much for it. In any case "Relevance", because she was not a Sith of years' standing, period.
You are attaching undo importance to his dominance of her in this situation.
Nope. He senses her growing powerful, that's why he orders her dead. Note he didn't do so with Sora Bulq or any of Dooku's other acolytes.
Relevance?
Please, AOTCs Kenobi can't even follow Kit's movements and admitted inferiority to him.
Yet fought on even footing with him in their mock battle. Reread the book.
How about force choking Kenobi and Skywalker?
Savage surprised TK choked Ventress and Dooku. Context is important, unless you think Savage is a top tier Force user.
How does similar in intensity and power to Sidious' translate to inferior to Thanaton?
One word: measurability.
The effects on similar targets details how effectively in turn we can measure a feat for objective analysis.
Sidious' lightning caused Mace and Yoda to both struggle.
Dooku's lightning is almost casually blocked by Obi-Wan, and I think even less casually blocked by Anakin and Ventress.
There's a significant margin in effect. It is therefore reasonable to conclude it is weaker by a significant margin than Sidious'. And Thanaton's lightning is if nothing else quite comparable to Sids'. Go watch some videos on it. Educate yourself.
"This is Anakin Skywalker, the most powerful Jedi of his generation, [B]of perhaps any generation."
"Skywalker is arguably the most powerful Jedi alive."[/b]
... Who is not at this point a high level Force user, master, and Sith.
Again, relevance?
Bulq is among the Order's finest.
See above. Relevance.
Obviously Nox's power played a huge part, but to say the Nexus didn't play a part is ridiculous.
To suggest the nexus was instrumental in the feat without any evidence whatsoever is much more ridiculous. Thanaton was also on a nexus, as was every Sith in the academy, the Dark Council, and the five muggles loading at the docks.
Again, relevance?
Example:
Dooku can dominate Ventress on any day with the force, on Vjun however he does it with a finger.
Prior to gathering more than one soul, Thanaton does the same with Nox. He's in another league altogether, and here Nox as a mere apprentice took out Khem with a training saber and outfought several Sith Lords.
Not really. Thanaton gives Nox a pretty good fight on Corellia and yet gets utterly stomped on Korriban. The difference being setting imo.
That's not true at all.
No quite relevant because in the presence of Sidious (who's pretty much a nexus on his own) his lightning is depicted as on par with the Dark Lord's.
1. Proof that Sids is a nexus. This is a new assertion and requires new evidence.
2. Proof that Sids' didn't influence or aid Dooku's lightning. Same criteria.
Nox>Thanaton on neutral ground as shown on Corellia.Nox>>Thanaton on Korriban.
You're exaggerating the effect of the nexus to downplay the feat because it doesn't fit your bias.
This is quanning.
Thanaton gets his shit pushed in by Tyranus.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.
Dooku will get in close to him with his Makashi and pwn.
See above.
Also the point wasn't that Dooku destroyed Ventress, its the ease at which he does so; far easier than Nox pwns Thanaton.
That's entirely exaggerated. Ventress has never shown abilities on par with anyone on the Dark Council, so to say that her dominance is greater ignores context.
So here's your argument thus far:
1. Red herrings.
2. Assertions without proof.
3. Downplaying opposition.
You got anything else?
