"Yes, Malia faced the Kanima without a tail. However, in Season 2, the Kanima almost never used its tail as a weapon, so it was never its main offense"

While it may not be for offense, it may have other uses such as balance, distraction, etc.

"she beats the Kanima easily anyways, cause plot"

nope. It's because she's my Malia :) been waiting for this for 3 seasons, don't ruin it for me pls :))

"That's exactly why I think the Kanima is still the strongest creature yet"

Maybe it is, but maybe Tracy's kanima, since artificaly created, may not have reached there.

"Scott had the worst reaction time ever, by the way"

Couldn't agree more. lol

"She clearly was able to paralyze Scott, Malia, Stiles and Deaton but she has nowhere near that speed or intelligence to use her most powerful weapon once she fights Malia, basically cause it was the end of the episode."

No. She tried. Malia dodged all. She grabbed her arms, rendered that attack useless. I watched the fight dozens of times. She earned that win. - Balance - no, throughout the fight, balance wasn't the problem. Malia simply dodged and overpowered the Kanima. Also, Season 2's Kanima never used it for distraction either. It essentially never or at least barely used its tail.

- Well, that's just cause you like her! That's not a valid point! :P Though I do like her too. :)

- We don't know that for sure. Speculation. Not canon yet.

- Yeah, we agree! :)

- For Tracey to push Malia into the props, she used her hands, but she could have just cut her instead. I JUST watched it, so I know that she did.

Also, this is exactly what I'm talking about. Derek, Scott, Isaac and everyone else knew that the Kanima's venom - the Kanima's claws - were its greatest strength, making it unbeatable. However, they were unable to stop it from paralyzing them in basically all the occassions that they fought, even though they knew this ahead of time and could have prepared. I mean, do you actually think that this is the first time someone thought of not letting the Kanima cut them? Derek tried many times but even as an Alpha - with Alpha caliber speed - he was unable to dodge and overpower the Kanima in the way that Malia did ON THE FIRST TRY.

My only explanation for this is that Jackson's Kanima was simply way stronger than Tracey's Kanima for some reason...*cough* plot *cough*
