PT is full of inconsistencies like that. Doesn't really refute my point. Again, you're failing to see the context of all these events. PIS has often allowed a character to defeat or at least survive a much stronger opponent. You yourself admitted that the encounters between Ezra/Kanan and Vader are pretty stupid. In versus threads, we usually assume an arena type all out fight where PIS doesn't happen. So with that said, Palpatine would wreck Khan and you shouldn't really feel bad about that.
Also, have you ever heard of this thing called Vaapad?

You do not have a point. You made a generalized biased statement that I can disprove easily in Star Wars canon. Pis is ignoring facts and pretending it shouldn't count. They are stupid but they do count. IMO Vader should maul them and they should come up with reasons why he doesn't finish them not that they find the opening to force push him onto his ass. Khan in his Klingon scene leaves the enterprise crew in utter amazement just watching him. Khan then disarms Spock and has them completely at his mercy before he gives himself up to get his crew back. That's the kind of treatment Vader IMO should get over those two dweebs IMO but that isn't what happened.
I've heard about Star Wars fanatics using pis, vapaad, and other ideas as a means to discount facts or downplay them because they don't line up with that posters preconceived notions.

I do apply critical thinking but I won't dismiss facts, feats, etc. and make blanketed useless statements like Jedi are beyond guys with guns and watch the battle on geonosis scene and say, nuh uh. Anyway ever saying the word pis is showing bias as their perception or opinion isn't a fact but the scene is.
Pete has ample experience against telepaths and telekinetic foes, arguably superior precog and has come out on top against opponents much stronger and faster. If the fight is in-character, he'd clock the infamous Sith warrior before he knew what hit him. Lord Maul wakes up drugged and in a Shield containment cell awaiting interrogation. Out of character boils down to who can hit who first and range.

1. The fact that Maul prefers to kill with his lightsaber. Sure he can and will use telekinesis but it's not normally his opening move, especially against a single foe.
2. Spiderman's durability/resilience means that Maul can't just snap his neck like a twig as he would a regular person. Maul would need to concentrate REAL hard.
3. The fact that if he tries he'll get a face-full of webbing.
Anyway here is the match. The actual fight starts at 6:45 if you want to skip the fans talking.
