You yourself said Maul was shit. You make me sick. Make up your fickle mind. I have always supported Maul as the facts do. The fickle lemming like fans which you are a part of isn't to be taken seriously. You chumps go where the wind blows you.
@Darth Thor: My bad. Filoni seems to like using Maul as a moustache twirly villain, it's quite sad tbh. He did a good job at using him for in Season 4, 5 and Son of Dathomir comics, and at one point the TCW creative team was toying with the idea of a Maul vs Dark Side Quinlan Vos fight, which was interesting, though that version of Vos beat Dooku so I don't see anything embarassing about Maul losing to that version of Vos had that had happpened.
Yeah basically was good until Lucas sold out to Disney.
The last episode of TCW should have been an epic Kenobi vs Maul fight, and thats how and when Maul should have died.
As for Ahsoka vs Maul, that fight could have had a lot going for it, IF they did this BEFORE Rebels. Because we literally wouldnt have known what would happen to either.
Dont know if the Maul vs Vos was light side Vos or dark side Vos. But either way that would be a worthy (and different) opponent for Maul. Which would have been cool. Plus given some proper screen time to Vos.
I honestly think TCW should've used Maul in a darker way than what they tried. What disappointed me the most is that Anakin and Maul never meet. I know it's a kids show, but from season 3 onwards they used some pretty dark themes and even Sam Witwer didn't deny it. If I was part of the TCW creative team, what I would've done with Maul after the Son of Dathomir comics is that I would've gotten Ahsoka killed by Maul, Anakin, enraged by Maul for this act, and already resentful towards Maul for killing Qui-Gon, is hell bent on finding Maul. I'm not sure in what time and place I'd make Anakin and Maul fight, but they'd fight, and Palpatine would get to see it from a distance, Anakin and Maul have a long brutal fight, Anakin kills Maul.
-> Maul in his prime gets physically kicked out of a window and runs.
->Then after fleeing to a favorable enviroment, he gets his ass kicked by a lightsaber-less ahsoka.
->Finally Ahsoka quite literally ragdolls him with maul being unable to break free of her grasp despite wanting to die.
You really can't make this up. Disney has done so many things wrong. But this... this puts a smile on my face.
He didn't have "the upper hand for most of the fight" they looked almost entirely equal. Both get in blows. Both go on the offensive and push the other back. Heck, Ahsoka got the best blow in when she knocked Maul out the window.
And, yes, Maul disarmed her... But Ahsoka also disarmed Maul. Oh, and she beat him.

remember when Darth Maul used the force scream at the start of the fight ( like sidious used when duelling against Windu) forget what it is called exactly did that have any affect on Ashoka at all? ( Some how didnt seem to ?)
in the first exchange, yeah. But for instance maul could killed her when he kicked her and she almost fell. But he ignored her and tried to reach his ship instead. And then later when she was disarmed there 132 easier way to kill: severing the part of the beam she was standing on, or force pushing her just a bit. There was some PIS in the second half of the fight
