Bruh,he does often use two handed. You also exaggeragte the power of his strikes.They are mostly force enhanced just as his jedi opponents enhance their strength.
this i because in a game they can' represent the power of the lightsaber no one gets hit with a lightsaber and doesn't lose his life or a limb so all light saber combats in the game are people clubbing themselves to death.
@Mike that's not what I mean. I mean that even if someone blocks his strike, it looks like there's a ton of weight and power behind the swings. It reminds me of Sauron during the opening scene of LOTR where he's 1-handing that mace and sending people flying. Granted, we haven't seen Malgus do THAT (to my knowledge), but still, that's what it reminds me of.
Malgus didn't hate the Sith, he hated Vitiate and HIS Sith servants. He's the Qui Gon Jin of the Sith Order, the ideal Sith who truly broke his chains by leaving the Sith Empire
You just said it. Honor. He showed Honor. People think that the Sith don't have that. They had been enslaved in the past by the Rakataan empire. They rose from it. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
In a lot of way Malgus was an OG Vader, and yet surpassed Vader by willingly killing his love instead of accidentally killing her and forever mourning her. Anyone who hasn’t read Old Republic: Deceived, I highly recommend it for a good story focusing on a Sith.
@@bz5791 Also he's not a rip off. Effectively, he took SOME of Vader's attributes, did them better and became a better sith too. In essence, he'd be an improvement rather than a rip off.
For me, Malgus and Bane are two of the purest representations of what a true Sith should be. They follow the path of the dark side rather than an empire, as well as their unending ambition. Those are two qualities every Sith should have.
Well that's the difference isn't it...if everyone worshipped the darkside & understood the true meaning then everyone would have yellow eyes...this is apparent that they all follow an ideology
Honestly I feel like Malgus is a perfect distillation of what the Sith Order was meant to be. He used his power to free himself from the chains of the Empire and Sith Order, to destroy anyone who got in his way; yet he was not so utterly consumed by it that he could not see others as equals, and he only gave in to his darkest impulses-spreading pain and destruction among his allies-when he was directionless and unguided. Malgus with a goal or master to guide him was truly an unstoppable force, which is why he's so terrifying once he resolves to break free of the Empire's control and his position as the new Emperor's Wrath: He has a goal, he has a plan, and NOTHING will stop him from getting it done.
I really like Malgus because he is the one you think is a strong, dumb, brute but he is rather one of the more complex Sith characters, and a personal favorite of mine.
Malgus is a character who understands himself pretty clearly. I think on top of everything said about him, he is also a character who tries to make other characters understand themselves too. Specifically, Jedi and Sith who were disillusioned by the "War that never ends" According to him. Which is why he spares some people and ruthlessly kills others. Side note, there is another character in the old republic who recognizes the War that Never Ends too. he a jedi taken advantage of by Vitiate's power. The difference is in how they reacted to this insight.
Malgus was pain and suffering incarnate; he willingly killed those closest to him if he thought he could become more powerful. He really is an unstoppable rage machine.
Not really,Sith Lord is someone who is smart and actually has true power in political domain.Malgus was a powerful warrior yes.But he thinks short term.The true Sith Lords are Sith who were powerful both Politically and in The Force.Plagueis, Sidious, Tenebrous,Bane were true Sith.Malgus never achieved his goals.
Politics does not have anything to do with what makes a great Sith Lord. Malgus was a great Sith Lord who preferred being a sword than a pen….Bane also hated Sith politics, the philosophy of the rule of two did away with those politics, by creating the master/apprentice relationship, where the master and apprentice held all the power of the dark side. This created a sort of loyalty, at least until the apprentice decided it was time for him to become master. Also plagues realized the importance of the senate as a tool for destroying the Jedi, but groomed Palpatine into a politician, all plagues did was plan and experiment.
Darth Malgus steals the show in the Cinematic Trailers. He’s a freaking tank, and could kill multiple Jedi at once. Malgus obviously thought the Sith lost their ways, and he despised how some of them handled things. To be honest I think Darth Bane and Darth Malgus would get along pretty well. And he’s no doubt one of the most powerful Sith to ever live.
Malgus is a personal favorite because he is a progenitor of Vader in a lot of ways, from breathing apparatus to fighting style to romantic conflict. I like how his influence lead to Bane reforming the sith, without Malgus and Bane there is no Galactic Empire
Malgus was PISSED when the Sith and Jedi made a truce...I really thought when reading the book he was going to wipe the floor with the Jedi during that meeting
Malgus was also in his late 50s or 60s, and the guy could still go up against the best of the best Jedi. Usually Sith at his age would have aged twice over, but Malgus is still in his physical prime.
Malgus is by far one of my favorite sith, simply for his sheer unstoppable will power. It is absolutely insane the feats he has pulled off when he went after a task, battle, or opponent! But at the same time the fact that he found … his version of love, was kind of interesting. Especially for a sith. Overall he is an incredibly complex character stuffed inside a character that most would mistake to be a caricature if not looked at carefully.
I was always under the impression that Malgus killing his lover only made him powerful for a brief period and then he became wracked with internal conflict which led to his demise. Though as we learn, his demise was not so permanent.
@@RextheRebel the sole reason was because he ended that conflict and chose a side. Internal conflict itself, conflict constantly maintained without ever allowing a conclusion to it, never choosing one path or another, is what is preached
Marr was ruthless and evil, he slaughtered as many innocents and hated as many jedi as the other sith, he just wasn't an idiot and cared more about preserving the sith and the empire than crusading. He wanted to win the war against the jedi, not destroy the sith just for a taste of it like malgus.
Marr only sought for the peace with the jedi when it was deemed necessary for their survival. All he wanted was to have the sith as a united front same as malgus. They just had 2 different methods to achieve that goal.
I like to think Malgus is what happens when someone who is disillusioned with a government and is truly capable of being a leader but not a political one goes out on their own. They get massive amounts of success to their own detriment sadly. Which also happened to malgus and somehow more than once even. Most often even in star wars when people get too much success they don't get second or third chances like malgus has gotten. The False Emperor is actually one of my favorite characters honestly from the game and from the old republic era. But not because of his battle genius or tactical or strategic skill, its more so his tragic telling of being such a brilliant leader but an underwhelming appreciation for it and just overall disappointing amount of trust or faith in his loyalty to the sith in general. Since I love erwin rommel in history so much this is probably why I love malgus as well, their stories almost mirror each other actually.
And in a way malgus is also like Julius Caesar to some degree. Stabbed in the back by those most closest or those who are terrified of his growing success.
Darth Marr has been my favorite Sith since he was introduced. There was just something about his directness and his relationship with Satele after death that made me take notice.
Of course they are close :) Brother and Sister :) Darth Marr is Satele Shan's brother. That is the reason everyone who have seen him without mask was death and that is the reason his force ghost appear to her. Sith force ghost cannot appear to Jedi ! Or can only if you was Jedi before or if you are bound to bloodline. There is a story of course, i could tell part of the story if there is an interest. Not the whole thing because i honestly dont know it. But i know about prisoners exchange. Darth Marr vouches and gives his word to Satele that they would not be killed at the prisoner exchange meeting. After the meeting takes place, a young Sith council member mocks Satele for believing in the bright side. And to show that he is not afraid, he turns on his lighsaber. Marr kills him on the spot. For me Marr was the most loved Sith ever. I loved the guy, so honorable. SWTOR made e huge mistake with him.
@@BuriedAlien-TRN242 Nope, Marr is not a black guy, Darth Arhoo was. So let me explain how force ghost works. When A jedi die, and had the training, can appear to fellow Jedi but not to a Sith, Sith force ghost cannot appear to jedi except those who are blood related. That is the reason Marr appear to Satele. Also the skin colour is nor relevent. I have seen parents with 2 kids one black one white.
Malgus is like vader, but without a lightside. It's almost as if his story is a what if, what if anakin acted more like himself as vader from an earlier era, what if the dark side completely consumed him. Had anakin taken the darkside in the clone wars era, he would have know obi wan wpuld try to use padme against him but he would have no feelings for her as he can not contain his hatered at such young age, he would have destroyed her much like malgus did, he would go rogue from any affilation and seek power in the dark side, with no lost limbs sidious would sense him no matter where he is and take him under his wing, from there anakin would be just like vader until learning about palpatine's true intentions and abandoning him as well with much more power than before. If palpatine would ever try to attack him anakin would grow so enraged he would not let loose even with a severed head. it doesn't matter, close one, friend, ally, enemy, anakin would attack if he sees it to be fit, he would ridicule the sith for only looking after power and not truly after just attacking and would ridicule the jedi for protecting. He would probably learn most sith abilities such as lightning and with a red one his destructive capability would skyrocket. He would just go on countless rampages and at the time of order 66 he would sense the death of the jedi and would go for palpatine when he's at what he thinks to be his safest era and would without doubt succeed at annihilating his former master and friend but he would only see it as another ant accidentally squashed and ignore the possible consequences, much like malgus does when he takes out a fellow sith
I love a true warrior whom only lover is the battlefield and the number of enemies you bury. Nothing not even a lover and or women comes first. He has earned his Name and place in the kingdom of Valhalla along his fellow warriors.
Malgus to me is the most under appreciation sith there is. The man was ruthless as you can be whit that lightsaber and had the attitude to back it up all the way. One of my favorites if not my favorite depending on the day.
1. Malgus is a born tactician, there are no barriers and restrictions for him. His ambition is legendary. He can work with both Trandoshans and Jedi if it helps carry out his plans. Malgus leaves the empire for one reason. After the death of the emperor Vitiate, Malgus tried to pretend to be emperor. Creating a stealth armada allowed him to subdue the empire. But he was declared a traitor. Malgus is not only a born tactician but also extremely smart and very powerfull. 2. Malgus has only one single goal and that is to become emperor. After the death of Empress Acina, Malgus remains the most powerful Sith alive. What exactly he is up to remains to be seen. Malgus actually follows the doctrine of Darth Revan and Darth Bane. After Valkorion's death. the empire is open to be taken. Many people don't know that he can perform 2 force skills simultaneously with each hand separately. This is very difficult to achieve, the reason being that he was born with this ability. Darth Bane is the other Sith who has done this. There is no recorded instance of a Jedi being able to do so.
Malgus is absolutely one of my favorites. My only problem is people saying he craved absolute power, but leaving the empire wasn't going to achieve it. If he wanted to prove he was the best and most powerful, then he should have challenged Vitiate. But of course, he didn't. Because he knew he was completely outmatched. Vitiate would have destroyed him or, worse, used him to feed on his force energy for centuries. But I guess that just makes him smarter than other Siths. But as far as dueling and brute force strength, he was absolutely godly.
7:12 yeah, definitely, 1 of my favorite of all time after watching this video, very fascinating of his purpose what he believes in as a Sith or a warrior he called himself
Valerian was a Sith in name only . He was the most powerful being in the known galaxy , but he didn't use that power to conquer......... he made treaties instead. That made him weak .
Vitiate was never a Darth, those in the Republic who may have referred to him as that were mistaken. Vitiate during the time of Marka Ragnos was Lord of Nathema but the title of Darth at this point in time had been largely abandoned and when he took the survivors after the Republics counterattack he declared himself Emperor and then reestablished the title Darth for his followers but never did he call himself Darth because he already was above that title as Emperor. He says as much in the game.
Malgus was like vader in many ways but more perfected. More brute force, more mobility, force lightning abilities and unchained (no masters to serve or keep him in check).
I think dark Malgus maybe Bane are probably my two favorites only because of their similarities to Darth Vader and the code of which they represent of past and present and future representations of each other and what they fought for let alone their ideals that made them who they are if I had to say this is my own personal opinion but if I had to say everybody kept asking the question is Bane or Darth Malgus or Darth Vader which of the three is stronger than the other I think all three r equal in terms of power and skills and at the end of the day they are reflections of themselves so I don't think either three of them could overpower each other I think it would just be a battle to see who could Outlast each other not in a sense of killing each other but more in the sense of who had more energy to keep the fight going and looking at these three they all had this in common despite their weaknesses or disadvantages they all have something in common and that being the despite their lineage and the time where they originated from they would still be equals in my own opinion even though people might not see this as accurate this is my opinion
Emperor Malgus was the second Dark Overlord of the True Sith Empire never forget that he did what had to be done he ranks with Vitiate and Darth Jadus he is a Sith hero as there are as many Sith philosophies as there are Sith
you didnt really explain any reasons for personal hatred between vitiate and malgus though... Tactical/disagreement over the Sacking isn't usually enough for personal hatred.
Malgus in my opinion, was among the best things that came out of SWTOR, his character was always intriguing, simple yet complex. A man just wanting the best for himself and his people, and not wanting it all to be some political game by those in charge. Putting themselves ahead of everyone else, sort of like Darth Marr. Always had respect for his character, you knew where you stood with him at all times, so long as you didn't act like an ass
What if dark malgus had died and reincarnated through the force as the chosen one as Anakin Skywalker and then thus became Darth Vader and I think that's why I like the characters Malgus and Darth Vader because of how they are so similar and why Palpatine designed the suit to resemble that of dark Malgus in the image of him and yet different in a way that separates him from Darth Vader what do you think I could be wrong but that's what I come to realize between these two great warriors or if you want to refer to them as Ultimate Warriors of Star Wars histories or Legends whether they be Canon or not canon to movies or not.
Wasn't Malgus Original born hundreds of years after Vitiate and Valkorion ? It looks like they changed the story and brought Malgus to life at the same time as Valkorion and his daughter and sons.
Malgus epitomizes the saying "in times of peace the warlike man attacks himself." (Quoting Nietzsche in a sith discussion? shocking). He had the will to go his own way and not get bogged down by orthodoxy to bureaucracy (which is why the Baneite sith respected him) but had he actually attained his ambition and started his own empire it would have quickly fizzled. All it would have been would be a conquest engine. Malgus lacked the philosophical or social mind to actually rule anything.
Thing with Malgus though is that he didn't suffer from the same constant internal conflict like Vader did. Vader despite his darkness and evil he did wasnt totally in the dark because Anakin side of him still was alive, Malgus did not suffer from that and soon as he discovers the weakness in hislover he removed it, intentionally unlike Anakin who did it accientally.
Malgus is definitely my favorite Sith, with Darth Revan coming in at a close second. I’m not going to lie, The Old Republic is definitely a lot more interesting and entertaining than The New Republic by far.
I don't know who my favorite Sith is anymore. Growing up it used to be Vader because of the movies and TV shows. But now from watching these videos and reading things online about legends like Darth Bane, Malgus, Revan, Nihilus, Emperor Vitiate and others. I don't know who my favorite one is anymore.
Malgus is one of the most powerful and deadly Sith Lords in my book. I am wearing or not wearing a mask cause it’s terrifying enough. And the upgrade said he now has make some more dangerous.
Vitiate left the Sith too in fact the Sith was just another toybox for him he could care less, the real power lies in treating the force as a neutral power not going 100% light or dark, his philosophy and his Eternal Empire are matched by NONE to date in the SW universe PERIOD.
I believe that Malgus was a perfect example of what the Sith should have been, although I would like to point out that the Jedi of the Clone Wars era still viewed the Sith as vicious warriors that Malgus was. In a way, Malgus was a kind of smoke screen to the Jedi because they believed that Sith were gone when, in reality, they were reformed by Darth Bane and became the Rule of Two Sith.
Out of all the people who were Sith at any time during the Old Republic, Malgus is third overall imo. Only behind Bane in second, and Revan in first. But regardless still an interesting and deep character.
He started hating him when he decided not to completely conquer the Republic after they had already been defeatedHe started hating him when he decided not to completely conquer the Republic after they had already been defeated, Deceived is a decent book
But somehow he still served the empire during the cold war. He is a mission informant/quest giver for many of the imperial Flashpoints in swtor. Or was that just to mask his true intentions?
Damn I always wanted to join his side. Had the right ideals. Makes me wish swtor was never a mmo because they won’t let you make those choices. Would have loved to joined him on Ilum bring a new age with his new empire and crush the weaker one.
A movie of Darth Bane or Malgus would be EPIC and one that Disney is too stupid to make! Instead we get a Skywalker storyline that has been beating into dust, and horrible characters that are completely pointless.
The ancient Sith are like something created by the dork committee of Harry Potter, LOR with their magical amulets and spell casting with a bit of input from Trekkies who are just there because they hate Star Wars. We give so much respect and devotion to a group that got the bulk of their power from rituals and talismans and oh yeah had a much greater connection to the force due to the flow of the force at that time. Call me crazy but I have much more respect for those Jedi and Sith who gained their power through self cultivation and growing their own power from within. I'm also going to point out that if you took the most powerful Jedi of the modern era such as Master Luke Skywalker, Anakin Skywalker just before his turn, Yoda, Mace Windu, and Count Dooku and transported them back to 4,000 BBY and took any ancient Sith and put them in the exact time spot those 5 Jedi would absolutely slaughter any ancient Sith lords you put up against them. This would be due to those Jedi from the modern era now having their connection to the force greatly enhanced. Now how about we take ancient Sith and moved them forward in time to fight modern Sith. Not only would their connection to the force be greatly diminished their Amulets and Talismans would not help them as in modern times the magic has worn off or those articles have been destroyed. We'd see someone like Vitiate have to rely on his light saber skills. Tulek Hord might be interesting but again he would be greatly weakened so all of his experience would not help him against someone like Dooku. Look at some of the ancient Sith with their staffs and magical medallions, I just don't get the appeal.
In my honest opinion Darth Mogus and Anakin Skywalker are not so different even after he became Darth Vader he and The ancient Sith held so much in common being held back by both of their orders be Jedi or Sith they had a lot of similarities holding pure anger and hatred towards both orders for holding them back from the power that they could’ve achieved Darth Magus was a pure warrior of the Sith order and so was Anakin Skywalker a pure warrior of the Jedi order end of the Sith order as well after becoming Darth Vader I believe that these two Sith We’re not so different they held the same similarities in their lives being held back and betrayed by both orders which they served faithfully Darth Magus had complications with the Sith council and Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader had problems with the Jedi high Council even though the Sith Lord Darth Marr might’ve been a part of the dark Council I still see him as one of the greatest of his time but the Jedi council is full of fools who are idiots and have no idea what to do with that power
