Let me guess something about the most "thematically relevant depiction", something about "Dooku dismissing him at a disadvantage", something more about about some sources that say that he was better than the duo combined?

Yeah, none of that comes remotely close

Yeah basically. Because in the most "thematically relevant depiction" of events Dooku effortlessly clowns the duo and leaves Kenobi sleeping under a metal walkway. Any counters beyond headcanon and out of context sources?

@Arkhamasylum3 Also the "Dooku wank" was present even before you came to the picture. There was Az and Kbro claiming he was better than Valkorion because of his Yoda feat...

@DeadlyJedi I'm aware. Granted Az has just about everyone above Valkorion so that's hardly him majorly wanking Dooku. As for Kbro he's not the brightest...

The most overrated characters of the now.

Darth Vader : An ironic twist to the idiom a wolf in sheep's clothing. Vader is actually the inverse. He's in the cut because much of the fandom still can't see past the surface, making the same mistake as Kylo Ren does in the brilliant sequel trilogy. Most of his trophies, the go to arguments and crutches have been stripped away from him. In the first Game Galen Marek overcomes his fear of the wolf's clothing and really does give his master a theatrical spanking. In TFU II Vader capitalises on an exhausted and psychologically disturbed Starkiller, setting his deformed replicas, all with a portion of SK's freakish power, to exhaust him further. He still looses. Vader fans used to rationalise the difference in both fights as proof of Vader's growth. Ant shut them down. It was the best thing he ever did. Without that we have a stalemate with Ben Kenobi,who's weaker than himself in Attack of the Clones, a TPM-Kenobi showing against the resurrected Maul, he didn't exactly stomp ESB Luke and got stomped himself in ROTJ. He's weaker than most people think and that was the theme anyway.

Pre ROTS Windu. Excuse me if I blow my nose with some 2002 sourcebook accolades. After Count Dooku arrived on the scene in 2003, Master Windu's stance among the Jedi is grounded by accolade and feat. He's not an equal for Yoda, but actually closer to the Count... maybe even his lesser based on track-reccord. Uses all his skill and still can't apprehend Ventress? That's below the Count. Can't make short work of Grievous while the latter has restricted mobility? That's not just below the Count, it's also below Kenobi. Only in ROTS it can be speculated that the darkness in Mace's heart grew to the point where he could actually fight on par with Sidious, that and  a mechanism seemingly allowing to to syphon Sidious' energy, filtering it back out at the Dark Lord.

DC77 Also the only person I know who overrates Maul is erkan.
Apart from that, Maul isn't generally overrated. I'd argue the opposite infact.

@Ziggy never got stomped by Luke in ROTJ, but ok... And he stomped ESB Luke lol. The whole time he was toying with him hence all the goofy noises he makes when he gets kicked off the platform by Luke and tagged by Luke later on in the fight. He even say's "you are beaten, it is useless to resist". A vastly pre prime Vader struggled against Maul but defeated him anyway ( and even split his saber staff)? Not exactly a bad showing. Nice try at lowballing.
Ant also debunked this whole notion that AOTC Obi Wan>Ben Kenobi

Kenobi in ANH is not weaker in the force lmfao. If anything, he is stronger. He is weaker in overall combat

Please give some type of evidence. Not only would it help me out, it would make your claim hold more validity Underrated/overrated characters on forums? - Page 2 228124001

Check my CV images. There is a direct quote that says his powers haven't weakened. Can't login to CV since the area I am currently in won't let me

I'll try to look for the others later

Yeah Kenobi's Force Power remaining the same seems to remain fairly consistent but it's still made clear he's overall weaker than his ROTS self because of old age.

Physically weaker, tho. The thing is, augmentation negates that, otherwise sheev would lose to Vader everytime Underrated/overrated characters on forums? - Page 2 228124001

Except Augmentation clearly can't, otherwise there wouldn't be quotes establishing him as an overall weaker combatant...

The reason Vader's underrated is primarily due to Ant majorly debunking him because of how wanked he's been. People have been arguing he's above Yoda and stuff.
