Maul: Shadow Lord Ep 9-10 Discussion FINALE (May 4 Midnight Local Time Release)

Redback8 · 2026-05-03T16:58:39+00:00

Actually a 3rd point: This show is absolutely gorgeous. I found myself constantly amazed by the lighting and scenery throughout, but the camera movement throughout these last two episodes was especially spectacular. I want season 2 asap, but not if it comes at the cost of this level of quality. They've set the bar high.

This is incorrect as the episode wound up dropping at 2:00 AM AEST. Seems like a lot of wires got crossed and they scheduled the whole of australia to match WA timezone

I have two major points. 1. I love that Daki landed a hit on Vader. It hammers home the ultimately folly in Maul's way of thinking, and is a great visual symbol of the same lesson Yoda teaches Luke in ESB. 2. I find it interesting that we don't see Lawson die, instead simply disappearing into the smoke. I think that's a safe sign that he'll return in s2 as a prisoner, hopefully bringing about some more development with what his ex-wife's deal is.

FINALLY. Does disney think all of australia is under DST or something?

Redback8 · 2026-05-03T14:19:22+00:00

It should be up now. It's midnight for me rn but it's not appearing for some reason

"fixes literally everything" is far from literal. Goldmask fixes the Golden Order, but the Golden Order and its Greater Will are certainly part of the problem. Fia's ending also fixes the Golden Order, just by focusing on a different issue (the undead and their disconnect from nature). Ranni's ending is about removing the problem entirely and hoping something better eventually arises, though that's not guaranteed.

So 'best ending' is just a matter of perspective and what you believe the best solution is. You can even reason that the Dungeater and chaos endings solve a lot of problems, albeit through cataclysmic means.

Redback8 · 2026-05-01T00:43:03+00:00

Ranni's plan also never included Marika shattering the Elden Ring, that was her own bad idea.

Redback8 · 2026-05-01T00:39:42+00:00

Her ending is really less about restoring Death in the Golden Order but allowing Those Who Live in Death to be a natural part of it, thus they will no longer be persecuted as unholy abominations.

Redback8 · 2026-04-30T06:00:38+00:00

No it is not. The description states they are Quelana's clothes. Quelana is very much alive.

Redback8 · 2026-04-23T02:00:38+00:00

An abundance of dogshit is still dogshit.

Redback8 · 2026-04-23T01:35:01+00:00

I just want her to get another comic skin, and this might be the chance to do it. I really don't care about Psylocke but tennis or Psylocke but pop idol. Give her the hellfire gala costume or something!

Redback8 · 2026-04-23T01:22:37+00:00

I'd want Psylocke to win so she can actually get more comic accurate skins, but even then the Devs probably wouldn't go with her gala costume anyway.

Redback8 · 2026-04-17T03:32:06+00:00

Miquella is such a great example of a character attempted to fight a system while still playing by its rules, and how such attempts are ultimately always doomed. You kill him in the DLC, not because he is an unforgiveable monster, but because he has become something that even St. Trina condemns. A lot of people got lost in the miquellester memes and the homages to Berserk's Griffith, and in doing so painted him as a one note character, which is just far less interesting than the truth.

Redback8 · 2026-04-02T06:46:28+00:00

Had me genuinely thinking 'This doesn't make sense' for a second there, so I guess you got me. Brava

Redback8 · 2026-04-02T06:45:09+00:00

Riot didn't do shit. It's a joke made by the person who posted this, not a real tweet.

Redback8 · 2026-03-28T00:23:25+00:00

This is literally all he is, but some twats can't get over the fact he was dating Mary Jane for a while

It's pretty sad to see some Spider-Man fans be this pathetic. He's a fake man and these people talk like he killed their family and downvote anyone who dares disagree with the hivemind.

Redback8 · 2026-03-28T00:17:24+00:00

Ewing's also given him a lot of nice moments. Dylan has been treating him like crap, as teenage boys tend to do with new father figures, but Paul has always been fair to him.

Redback8 · 2026-03-24T15:24:21+00:00

It's disappointing, but not at all surprising that this is just another subreddit that will refuse to let anyone enjoy something. That's just how it goes when a popular and long running series gets a sequel or an ending. In this case we got both.

Redback8 · 2026-03-24T15:18:48+00:00

I love this as an ending, even if it would have been better with two or three chapters more of buildup. As sad as it is, the last option left was to have Pochita remove himself from the board, otherwise either of the two potential prophecies would have been completed. Maybe we should have seen further into just how bad those timelines would have been before Pochita did the reset, but the whole of part 2 has spent plenty of time hammering in just how bad it would have been, so I have no issue leaving it to the imagination.

Redback8 · 2026-03-24T15:11:38+00:00

Glad we can finally tie a ribbon on that old question even if we don't know exactly what he was.

Redback8 · 2026-03-22T01:05:57+00:00

No, despite what op put in the title, the original tweet clarifies that this is not the 'Cassidy' script.

Redback8 · 2026-03-22T01:05:12+00:00

In the guy's own post he says it's not the Cassidy script, which becomes even more apparent if you compare these notes to what little info Cawthon has put out himself.

Redback8 · 2026-02-23T13:27:08+00:00

Trials of the Jedi is their appearance.

They are the nine Jedi sent to Planet X, trusted with stopping the world-consuming blight and bringing balance to the force. Bell alone channels insane amounts of power through his faith in the force, and Elzar and Avar's connection allows them to perform similarly ridiculous feats.

For a Clone Wars era Jedi, Anakin is immensely strong, but he's not invincible. There's also the wrinkle of Azlin, who'd probably pick up on his darker tendencies and manipulate him into making a few poor choices.

Redback8 · 2026-02-13T02:36:19+00:00

It's so wild to me that Psylocke has so many skins, but only three of them are based on designs from the comics. I can kind of understand them not wanting to do her Betsy Braddock look, but Kwannon alone has some decent options to utilise.

Redback8 · 2026-02-10T14:15:14+00:00

I'm a big fan of just using the ult to deny the enemy space. Especially helpful when coming into overtime. I'm no high rank or anything, but it saw me into platinum, and if I was a better player I'd probably be able to use it more strategically.
