Exar Kun vs. Darth Revan (TP battle)

Started by Fated Xtasy4 pages

Ehh going with Kun for now.

Darth Revan gets gimped by a second Dark Lord.

Revan's action-figure hype doesn't win him the day, Neph?

He'd need a Revanmobile to win here. Maybe a built-in karate chop.

I'm talking about resisting the DS nexus like you love to boast about Malak doing, lol.

Revan was already a darksider when he went to Malachor. Being "drowned in the darkside" would effect him significantly less than it would a true Jedi.

Ant saying that Revan "made Nathema his *****" is also a blatant lie btw.

Yeah, there's no "making Nathema a *****", lol. And Surik wasn't "about to be mind-raped". As for Malachor - yeah, Revan and Malak had already begun their descent into the dark side, so the comparison with Kreia doesn't even count, lol.

Also, he broke free from Vitiate directly after leaving Kaas? I thought it was over time.

No, he wasn't. Revan's arrival at Malachor marked his first full-fleshed beginnings.

Revan went from building to building with Malak and even was there long enough to observe its effects and how it began so that he could base the thought bomb off it. 😬

Surik was there for like an hour and nearly killed herself.

If Revan began his descent to the dark side on Malachor, then he was corrupted, lol. If he was already dark-sided, then it's not a resistance feat. Take your pick, lol.

What? She was about to be driven insane. She literally sprinted off the planet.

He fell to the dark side as he realized the teachings it offered provided him a means to defeating the Mandalorians. It wasn't like Kreia where the nexus of the planet literally mind-****ed her. The Chronicles explains this.

Uh, Chronicles says this:

"The rout of the Mandalorians reaches a crescendo above the skies of Malachor V. Unbeknownst to the Jedi Order, DARTH REVAN has discovered numerous Sith artifacts and holocrons, all stored in great tomb-like cities buried beneath Malachor V's surface. As Revan plundered these tombs and relics, he fell deeper into the Dark Side."

-- Chronicles of the Old Republic

Which is more or less how Kreia fell, lol - by getting intrigued by the Sith hermetica.

Revan's will allowing him to "feed on and not be consumed by the nexus" isn't relevant to the example here. Traya didn't fall to the nexus - she fell to the hermetica and Sith Sorcerers, which also affected Revan.

It is a period of turmoil in the Galaxy. The fierce Mandalorian warrior race begins the MANDALORIAN WAR by viciously and simultaneously attacking three quadrants of Republic space. As the battle rages on, Jedi Master REVAN moves surreptitiously between unknown sectors, scouting for potential strongholds to withstand the attacks. He soon discovers the shadowy Malachor V, a planet listed by Mandalorian scholars as "forbidden" to step foot on. The reason for this soon becomes clear as Revan is almost devoured by primal Sith forces on the world's surface. Revan's will allows him to feed on (and not be consumed by) the power of the dark side. Revan develops an evil but brilliant plan: Using the dark power of Malachor V, he will seduce an army of Jedi, completely loyal to him alone. He will then turn the planet's evil power against the Mandalorian army in battle, luring them to his stronghold and destroying them completely. A stronghold is immediately constructed.

The text directly states Revan was able to resist the energies of the planet, but still created an evil plan, presumably based on the teachings provided.

Which is more or less how Kreia fell, lol - by getting intrigued by the Sith hermetica.

Actually, Kreia fell by being consumed by the dark-side as she entered the planet, as Chronicles directly states. 👆

Nope. She fell by the nexus. The fact you can't comprehend direct statements is pretty laughable. 👆

LMFAO. I spent two threads with you debating how KotOR CG retcons that. She didn't fall to any nexus - she fell to the hermetica and Sith Sorcerers, as the KotOR CG explicitly states.

Yeah, and you failed on both threads. Ready for a third?

Since there's no direct contradiction, the statement stands. 👇

You just don't like the notion your favorite character is so weak. mmm

Traya's not my favorite character, though. And Revan is for you, so the bias argument is laughable.

I didn't fail on any thread. She clearly didn't get consumed by the nexus "as soon as she entered the planet":

She was "intrigued" (still not consumed) by the hermetica and still didn't fall until the Sorcerers and the texts combined their power and made her "fall under their seductive spell", which is when she actually falls to the dark side. Nowhere does it mention her being wrecked by the nexus as soon as she arrives.

No direct contradiction. 👇

Actually, it states "Darth Traya falls under its seductive spell," meaning she's already a Sith when that happens.

And then since Chronicles clarifies when she became "lost to the Jedi," everything works out.

Try again next time. 👆

'Falling under its seductive spell" is when she falls to the dark side, lol. She becomes Traya in the moment.

By your naming logic, the fact that she's still Kreia after she lands on the planet means she didn't fall immediately. 😂 She did read some hermetica before "Darth Traya falls under its seductive spell", so at worst, that would've been the cause of her fall, then, not the nexus.
