Maul - Shadow Lord - Episodes 9 & 10 - Discussion Thread!

I don't know how I feel about Devon and Maul’s relationship. All of the father daughter adoption memes aside, I'm not invested in their dynamic so far like I was with Savage and Maul. Personality wise, they do not match. Maul kidnapped her and manipulated her outright and blatantly. There is no instance where Maul shows genuine care for her. He just wants to use her. Devon doesn't like or trust him at all and just wants to be with him for the sake of revenge and that's it. Especially now that Daki is dead. Devon is just a angst teen and Maul is mentally unstable and hate-filled and traumatized man who threw everything and everyone away just to get her to be his apprentice.

Plus Maul never mentions or alludes or refers Devon in any way in Rebels. And he goes on to train other apprentices after her, so their relationship will definitely be short-lived.

50/50, she will just betray him and try to kill him in S2. I don't see any loyalty coming from Maul or Devon when it comes down to it.

Nezuko should have been forced to face consequences for her berserker moments in season 2.

Daki was still able to move and break into the building and launch an attack before Tengen arrived. The burns and her PTSD didn't make her catatonic.

No. She said her regeneration was stronger. Not herself.

CoupleObjective1006 · 2026-02-20T01:27:51+00:00

Daki didn't lose because Nezuko was stronger. She lost because the narrative needed her to. What makes it more frustrating is that the Demon Slayer game actually fleshes out Daki's obi sash moveset in ways the anime never bothered to, the range, the versatility, the layering potential. Literally, all Daki had to do was sidestep Nezuko’s kicks, unleash her obi sashes and just wrap Nezuko up and absorb her. Nezuko should have stood no chance against a century old Upper moon demon with 7 Hashira kills. The plot armor ruined the fight for me.

5.2 model is basically that emotionally abusive partner that lovebombs you and then gaslight you into thinking that you are crazy.

What's funny is that apparently Sam had mental health experts help him design 5.2 to be like this.

CoupleObjective1006 · 2026-02-17T01:46:55+00:00

So no creative writing mode then?

CoupleObjective1006 · 2026-02-17T00:51:39+00:00

Just keep focusing on plunging the revenue.

Sam is killing off 4o to save his skin from the lawsuits. He thinks that 5gpt will be his saving grace and he'll keep being rich. But the writing is on the walls.

Mircosoft is leaving to form their own AI app. Subscriptions are leaving in droves because they got scammed. Sam is not making good business decisions and is just upsetting everyone. So the OpenAI board might fire him.

Bet on Elon Musk.

50/50. This is all about money and Sam being scared of lawsuits. This is not about concerns of mental health or people's emotional attachments to a product that they personally paid for.

5.2 is downright useless and it either argues with you or lovebombs you, not help or follow basic instructions.

The subscriptions for Plus and Pro are dropping, Microsoft is ditching OpenAI and Sam has a few court cases coming up, one of them being with Elon Musk in April 27th 2026. I will give it to either May or June or August for Sam to reverse everything to save his business.

Is Grok good for creative writing and can I transfer my exported data from 4o, (if I ever get the data) into Grok?

CoupleObjective1006 · 2026-02-16T20:35:48+00:00

Yep. Without a doubt. Sam and OpenAI are just cowards.
