You can see the disarming in the GIF as well, lmfao.I think Quan selected the wrong seconds to make a GIF, lol. He was probably going for Cad electrocuting Obi-Wan.

Tbh, my respect for Maul is going lower and lower as time goes by. I have a feeling S3 won't help.
Let's face it, the real recent abomination that's put him down in everyone's book is him losing to Blind Kanan. But that's only made me lose respect for Filoni tbh. Maul's own standing hasn't actually changed due to that. Witwer and even FPJ have made it clear Kanan/Ezra's partial training are no match for Maul's classical training.
Filoni's just been a turd though, because he would never let that happen to his precious Ahsoka.
Filoni's dumb and shouldn't be trusted with writing Star Wars, period. How many times did he retcon Legends continuity? That was probably the largest factor in the Legends/Canon split.
We've yet to even consider how varied his characters are in terms of ability. Consistency is a completely foreign concept to him.
^ Nah Legends split was a management and business decision by Disney in what would be best for them. And tbh it was the best decision for them.
In fact they only kept Canon what Lucas made them keep as Canon. I'm betting that keeping TCW and updated versions of the films as Canon was in the purchase contract.

Lucas stance on the EU was that it’s non-canon. As he put it it’s a “different world” then his. So when he and Filoni begin plotting out TCW, it’s no surprise they ignord the EU nor can the blame be put on Filoni. Regardless, FIloni has created some of the best SW stories so far. If his biggest problems are contradicting a now defunct continuity, making Maul a chump, and favoring his own characters, then so be it. Those are minor nuisances in the long list of great episodes he brought us. Anyway, I’m hoping he brings us a new animated series set post-RotJ preferably in 2D animation.
^ You really want that? You know his views on ROTJ Luke right?
Agree with most of what you've said. But making the highlight villain of Ep.1 into a chump is no minor thing that doesn't matter. I'm sure you wouldn't feel that way if he shitted on Vader. And I know Filoni wouldn't give Ahsoka that kind of treatment. Heck he sounds like he's going to treat Thrawn with more respect than he's given Maul.
There's no room for bias. As a story teller he should pay each character their deserved level of respect, and of course serve the story first over any bias.
