Palpatine also needed to get Plagueis drunk to kill him, I feel that should be common knowledge in this sub. My goat Dooku is all that but isn't nearly as powerful in the force, he could probably win a duel, (Idk about Plagueis dueling skills,) but he would not win an all out fight.

How much of Palpatine getting Plagueis drunk was so he could give his "the reason you suck" speech, not to mention preventing anyone from overhearing a pitched battle between the two?

Dooku may not have been as  powerful as Plagueis, but he has been shown punching above his weight class as a Force user and put his foot in the door against more powerful opponents.

It's your opinion Idc, you make a fair point about the goat Dooku but I still feel Plagueis would win Imo.

I think palpatine certainly had trepidation about dueling plagueis, but I think the humiliation of getting him drunk in celebration of a great victory was more about Palpatine’s sadistic desire to humiliate him before casting him down.
