This is one of Maul's great fallacies and makes even his good friends bang their heads against the wall. Because he feels like he gives people fair warning of what he is and then they end up condemning him whether he does right or wrong, so what's the point in even bothering?
Found it!Maul has a tendency to see people's anger at his actions as unjustified because he's never been dishonest about what he is or what he'll do. If people pick a side and it's not HIS...
Glitch has every right to not want to forgive Maul and I don't think common ground is going to be found between the two of them. But this isn't the first time Maul has been called out like this. And his reaction tends to be "what's the point of becoming good if the moment Deerington makes me do something, I'm considered a monster to kill?"
[There was the whole incident where people assumed Maul murdered someone but it was actually Fern who had done it. To her knowledge, everyone else forgave Fern but Maul was still cast in doubt. Maul certainly didn't do himself any favors with his behavior but he was still wholly innocent.]
He gets hurt when people just assume the worst about him and in turn that makes him lash out, because even though he's tried to do better, he feels few people are ever going to honestly believe him.
Being honest that you're gonna murder someone isn't going to make them not mad maul Also god Ironwood is being a hypocrite all over this post and he's probably gonna continue to be one SORRY

: Heh that was a good one too but I just really liked how Usagi was able to break Maul's personality and way of thinking down in a way that he can't really articulate himself. This is the great paradox of Maul: He's eloquent but can't really express his emotions or what he's feeling through his words very well at ALL.
And if you watch Clone Wars you see the way he and Savage communicate, who he's around most often, really don't talk to each other that often. It's all body language and facial expressions that they use to understand one another. Plus having the Force there probably helps connect them too.

: Heh Maul is already like "Great, a non-so-psychotic version of Sidious." You can't fool him, Ironwood, he was raised by the world's most devious politician.
He's never learned to use his words to express what he's feeling properly which I guess essentially means he never got past first-grade in terms of that thinking.
She does at that. She's flat-out redeeming an evil Sith Lord through the power of love and friendship. I do love Qui-Gon was like all surprised and asked ".........A genuine friendship?" when Obi-Wan told him they were close.

: The true young politician. He'd be the one swaying the rest of the jury in Twelve Angry Men. Hey, angry men come in handy too! When the monsters come knocking, it's always handy to have a psycho with fantastic powers and a plasma sword to take care of them.
Sounds exactly like Maul then. Honestly, if he found out what Anakin did to the Sand People, he'd just be like "Eh, it happens." Sometimes you just go Dark Side and gotta slaughter a bunch of people when your mom dies, he gets it.
