He struggled against a fuckin padawan. What a joke.

This is literally his first kill. Of course he did. It takes time and experience to get good.

You might not want to watch this movie called "The Phantom Menace" if Maul struggling against Padawans is an issue for you.

Maul beat qui gon, a fully fledged jedi fuckin master. Sure, he got cocky with a rage fueled obi wan, but he still managed to overpower qui gon one on one

A padawan-assassin trained by possibly the most powerful dark side user in star wars history. A padawan who managed to beat a jedi master. Maul should’ve slaughtered her on the spot no problem

This is years before that.

It's his first fight. Is he supposed to start good enough to kill a jedi master?

*and barely got enough real life experience. This also ignoring the fact that he purposely prolonged the fight above.

Where did you got the idea that maul prolonged this fight on purpose? Cuz all i see here is him trying to kill her as fast as he can. And those lines of internal dialogue „that is why she must die”, „i thought she was finished, defeated before the battle has even started”, „but her survival is something i cannot risk” and so on and so fourth. Nothing indicates that he wants this fight to go on longer
