Little issues with Maul's arc.
Enjoyed the show, but I do have alot of issues with the writing of Maul. I personally invest more into storytelling and character development over animation quality or fight choreography.
Episode 8 is definitely my favorite because it felt like a deep, well-needed psychological dive into Maul's past and his character. When he said, "I won't let him do this to anyone else." (Referring to Sidious.) I teared up like a baby and was so interested in seeing Maul attempt to do something new.
But Maul just doubles down almost immediately. I understand the intention, Maul is a self-aware victim of a cycle of abuse, but the show doesn’t do anything interesting with that idea. There’s no real exploration, no struggle, no attempt to break the pattern.
Maul has the awareness, but it’s just awareness followed by repetition, which makes the arc feel flat instead of compelling. There’s no sense that he’s struggling against his conditioning or trying and failing to be something different. He just recognizes the pattern and then continues following it without hesitation. In my opinion, Devon and Maul’s relationship is already pretty weak just based on how it starts. But once Maul pushes Daki into Vader, he completely destroys any chance of personal growth and wipes out the possibility of developing a believable relationship with Devon. At that point, it just becomes another typical Sith master–apprentice dynamic, with all the same predictable outcomes. Just another repeat of the cycle that Maul vowed he wouldn't let Sidious continue.
What would make this arc engaging is seeing Maul actively wrestle with that, trying to act differently, failing, and being pulled back into the methods he was taught. That kind of inner conflict would give his choices weight and make his downfall feel tragic. Instead, the lack of internal pushback makes his arc feel static. There’s no real sense of growth, regression, or even resistance, just repetition. And that’s what makes it uninteresting to watch. Not the tragedy itself, but how little dramatic tension the story pulls from it.
I have been watching other people play RE:9...my observations in order of watching them:
jacksepticeye: gushes about the games, makes funny quips at certain points, is tactical about completing the game and adds his personal review about it. Absolutely likes the pros and cons of playing as Grace and as Leon. He clearly loves older Leon. Gab Smolders: (Jack's partner) has played almost all the classic RE games, the new games and the remakes, so she knows the history and lore. She's also able to solve some puzzles that I haven't considered (light-switch zombie). Like Jack, she clearly loves older Leon. Markiplier: "I DON'T LIKE THE THING THAT MAKES THE ZOMBIES GO SPLODEY, SO I DO WHAT I WANT!!! Also, why are the comments talking about a Tofu who hates me?" JazzyGuns: absolutely yell-encourages the characters to do the thing like the world's foremost motivational coach in the RE Universe. Also absolutely loves older Leon. Absolutely hates the grossness of some places.
Thinking about how reviewers are an important part of any healthy artistic ecosystem and I'm thankful for the folks who have decided to take on that role in the audio fiction community.

This past Tuesday I received 37 pitches for upcoming books from 37 different publicists representing 37 different authors. I am always aware
This piece nails it.
I can see how the pressure of a shrinking newspaper market would make AI-generated content look like a shiny and 'precious' solution to all your problems. While at Andrews McMeel, I worked closely with a sister company similar to King Features, Universal Press Syndicate. Looking back, I can sort coworkers into columns of Frodos and Gollums. Unfortunately, like in the LOTR, the power and invisibility of AI may already be too much for a single person to control or stop. "It's OK Sam, we'll just use it a little," and the next thing you know, you find yourself at the edge of Mount Doom, unable to let go of the damn thing. ~ eP
