Lady maria is the best boss fromsoft has ever done.
Its not brain dead easy like some earlier souls bosses, but it isnt a 15 hit combo boss like in the later shit.
Its their best boss and its not even a question, in all regards. The fight is awesome. The arena is awesome. The lore of it is awesome.

Why? Because its harder? How hard a boss is doesnt make it better. Anyone can make a hard boss. I can program a boss that has a million hp and kills you in 1 hit. That doesnt make it good.

Isshin is the culmination of Sekiro's combat system, it tests every skill you learned throughout the entire game
on to top of it it's a genuine spectacle boss and narratively a perfecting ending to the game

The entire game builds you up to this specific moment, to face of against Isshin who's hyped up to be the greatest swordman alive and the boss battle actually delivers

Maria is WAY too easy and suffers from all the issues npc fights have.

I haven't played Bloodborne so I can't talk about Lady Maria.
Malenia phase 1 is mostly good, probably the best fight in base Elden Ring, but it's ruined a bit by Waterfowl and phase 2 is not very good IMO.
Friede phase 3 is great and probably the best fight in DS3 but phase 1 is just an easy, boring version of phase 3 and phase 2 is a duo fight that is somewhat RNG dependent.

Waterfowl is the fight. Learning how to deal with it is integral to the experience.

The Kinoborne fight feels like a duel with a real person. The Dark Slop 3 and Elden Slop bosses feel like a bad rhythm game.

I feel that's why it's not great. Too much of her relative power and difficulty is dependent on a single move that is RNG in terms of how often she uses it. Honestly, if it was a one time thing she uses every time at like 60% HP like Mohg's Nihil or something I would probably like her more, but I still remember that my first time beating her was just like due to her only using Waterfowl once in phase 1 and then never again for the rest of the fight.

Maria gets a boost by having arguably the most beautiful arena in any souls game, except may Isshin.

Malenia sucks because she'll just arbitrarily break her own rules to punish you and it results in a very tedious and boring phase 1 since she's so fucking passive during that phase.
Friede is a bit easy but thematically perfect, From managed to make a boss that went from a kino duel to a kino duo boss into a kino traditional boss.

Shartlenia was forced difficulty

Friede was fun difficulty
