The element of surprise wouldn't have been as strong afterwards - the Consular being able to hold him off is good, but against a faster opponent with stronger Force reserves? It's not a safeguard.
And TCW Anakin literally has never shown the power he's supposed to, with only a few exceptions. You have some pretty ridiculous anti-Anakin stuff going on there, too.
I'm not really aware of Anakin possessing many accolades about his skill with the Force.
It doesn't matter about the element of surprise afterwards, Thor was distracted by her lightsaber and by the time she turned back to Syo he was swinging at her. She managed to get the barrier up very quickly in that regard. Anakin would be attacking her head on and she'd be able to fully focus on him and react easier.
Literally never? What about Mortis? That's like the only time he ever showed the power he's supposed to have. I don't have anti-Anakin stuff I just think he's overrated.

And in another episode Dooku required 4 Magnaguards to beat him, and despite that was disarmed:
watch?v=aqeEjv1_eOcAnakin doesn't have the best Force barriers but the punishment he endures in both those duels is pretty telling, the Barsenthor might be able to knock Anakin on his ass a few times but she's not going to do any significant damage, she just isn't powerful enough.
All Anakin needs to do is close the gap and press a martial engagement, and that's something that the Barsenthor realistically has no hope of winning. I don't think there is much disparity between Anakin in TCW and Anakin in the EU, so he wins both rounds for the same reasons.
Huh, I could have sworn I asked about Anakin completely outfighting Dooku, not losing to him twice. How weird. Also I'm pretty sure Dooku let himself get disarmed to set up the zapps.
Thor also isn't an arrogant tool like Dooku who just lets Anakin get up all the time. If she smashes him through a wall, she's going to keep picking him up while he's dazed and smashing him until he loses consciousness. Considering the kind of concussive force she can put out I wouldn't underestimate how much blunt force trauma she can inflict on him. Anakin has good durability but he does get put on his knee's quite a bit.
I already pointed out that the Barsen'thor has ways of countering a melee charge. I doubt she's as vulnerable to those tactics as you'd think, she's very experienced against Sith and his a truly skilled force wielder. I could just as easily say that all she needs to do is keep Anakin at range and beat him down and he has no realistic way of winning.

She has no tutaminis feats. And considering a child of the Emperor landed lightning attacks on her, and when Darth Lachriss attacked with lightning she had to block it with her lightsaber not her hands, this is baseless.Anakin consistently performs well against Darth Tyranus, who is above anyone Thor ever faced.
Force Barrier, not tutaminis. See my respect thread for details.
Dooku might be above Vivicar, but not so much so that doing well against him is better than Thor beating Vivicar while weakened and worn down from fighting through his ship. She has beat a Child of the Emperor, then beat 2 of them at once and then beat the First Son all in a row.
