why do people even like this character?
he did nothing only kill some no name character
he had little to no lines
he has no personality
he lost to a padawan
he looks stupid

And yet he was one of the better written characters in that movie.

>no name character
Sure kid.

>he had little to no lines
That's what makes him a stoic badass.

>he has no personality
Maybe if you cannot into personality.

>he lost to a padawan
He was a padawan himself.

>he looks stupid
Better than you, kid.
>>
Look at how terrible that makeup around his horns is.

Someone post the thing where he's fighting the people that use the Ape Escape thing to fly away.

Unrelataed Q: Did they ever found out what's wrong with George Lucas's brain?
>>
>>67915036
Has pretty shit in Phantom Menace, but he's great in Clone Wars and Rebels when they actually give him a personality and motivation. He also gets some great fights. https://youtu.be/E8uXBdCIsrU
>>
No shame in it. Obi Wan was the GOAT desu.
>>
because edgelords think he looks cool.
>>
>>67915036
only people who were kids when Phantom Menace came out fuck with Maul

and yeah its bc dat double edged lightsaber and bc he looked cool/frightening/edgy to a 12 year old
>>
I liked him because he was the first alien sith we got to see fight and when you were younger, that duel of the fates scene was fucking bad ass.
>>
>>67915159

>character design

That's what makes the whole franchise great. The shit just looks cool.

He beat the shit out of a Jedi master in a well-choreographed fight scene with some pretty epic music. It was badass for the eleven year olds watching it for the first time.

>he had little to no lines
Given the overall quality of the lines in TPM, this is actually a huge plus.

>he has no personality
Again, less is more when it comes to the prequels.

>he lost to a padawan
Yeah, I guess? It was Obi-Wan fucking Kenobi.

>he looks stupid
Maybe, maybe not. The people who think he's cool obviously disagree with you on this one.
>>
>>67915036
>those stuck on horns

>>67915036

People think his makeup looks "epic" and stuff
>>
>>67918713
Wew lad
>>
>>67915036
when you are an 8 year watching that movie maul seems like the biggest badass

if phantom menace was marketed as a kids movie rather than a continuation of a sci-fi nerds wet dream it would have been much better received
>>
>>67918713
LMAO
>>
Only autists like Darth Maul, Boba Fett, Jango Fett, Grevious, Phasma, etc. If you're favorite character is one of those than you're into action figures more than you are actual characters.
>>
Darth Maul gets better in the cartoons

From a certain point of view, Obi-wan had the high ground

Besides, Sokan trumps Vapaad regardless

>>67918923
From Obi-Wan's point of view, he had the high ground.
>>
he looks sexy
>>
>>67915036
his chin paint looks like a snake tongue with fangs.
>>
>>67915036
I didn't like him his horns and tats looked too try-hard (or standard 90s X-treme), but I can understand why some do since I like Boba Fett and a lot of your criticisms can apply to him.

I think its also why people liked Vader in IV, mysterious bad ass. Probably the more you know about them the less you'll like them.
>>
>>67915036
His fight scene with that junkie from trainspotting was the only non boring part of the prequels.
Obi getting pumped up to fight him,non Jedi like,yet the best part.
Also,if you like the prequels, I hope the worst things in life happen to you and only you.
>>
>>67918923
shit happens.
>>
Because he got one of the better fights in the prequel trilogy. It still looks like a dance but less so than what happens in later movies and there are some nice moments thrown in that make it look like he fights dirty. He's like the only sith to master kicking people and he kills Qui Gon by smashing him in the face with lightsaber handle to stun.
The enviroment was pretty good looking for CGI and barrier scene (while retarded) was alright characterization as well considering nobody talked.
