B-but Kenobi was combat ready on both Florrum and Sith Hunters. And he saw Maul coming after the shuttle crashed on Mandalore. Even if he was weakened, he would logically still have enough time to form a defense, one that Maul broke with ease.

You scoff, but those are still more impressive TK showings than Kenobi's come to bear. Also, to be fair, he did the shuttle feat with one hand, I wouldn't say it took max effort. Ragdolling the Seventh Sister and being Savage's admitted superior also come to mind. I'd just like to see what makes you think Kenobi > Maul force-wise.
Wow, 1 hand. That's something.
Hmm, let's see. How about stalemating and backhanding Anakin's TK. Who while was weakened his standard self was still vastly more powerful than S5 Anakin. TCW movie Anakin was force pushing an AT-TE with enough force that it had an effect of a bomb going off. Kenobi was also capable of breaking out of Dooku's choke, moved faster than him on more than 1 occasion. He pulverized Durge. Tanked close proximity explosions several times pre-prime, shrugged of beatings from Durge and Grievous, fought equally with Legends Ventress when he was effected by lung melting poision. Fought with shrapnels piercing his upper torso. Shrugged off a 50-60m Krayt dragon literally rolling over him. He bent Grievous' arm and chestplate which is made of the most durable metal in SW. Has superior senses than RotS Anakin (sense is also part of the Force, fuggs). Could conceal himself from Dooku in DD. Made Dooku work for using Drain Knowledge on him vastly pre-prime and weakened.
That should do it.

It's pretty straightforward tho. Sith's power comes from rage. Maul's hatred toward Kenobi is unparalleled. So he's always in an elevated state facing off against him.
And even with that out of the way at his first ragdolling Kenobi was fighting 2v1, under such circumstances even Dooku was ragdolled. The second time Kenobi wasn't combat ready (in the same comic Maul was being tooled by a random jedi), and at the last it was after a ship crash (I hope I don't have to point out why that nullifies Maul's feat).
Besides this is all Kenobi pre-prime. He grew noticeably between S5 and RotS 🙂
Possibly the dumbest blunder in history, tbh.
One of the deadliest sith apprentices ever, brutally trained as an unstoppable assassin, just lets his guard down to a Jedi and does nothing as he leaps right over his head, slowly grabs someone's lightsaber in a telegraphed motion, and then cuts him in half.
It would be the most pathetic moment ever had Bane and Vitiate not existed.

Two can play this game 🙂

(in the same comic Maul was being tooled by a random jedi)Who?
