Lore wise, technically isn't the first time you defeat a boss the first time they've ever seen you? When you die the world resets, hence why they do their little intro bit each time. From their point of view you suddenly turn up out of nowhere and beat the shit out of them. They have no knowledge of the 80 previous versions of you that died.
Actually would be kind of a cool concept for a game. A rougelike where you kill the hero as many times as you can before you die or something.
This is why I love Sans as a boss narratively. He's the only one who knows you can just keep coming back until he's dead, so he gives you a fight so absurdly hard that you might just give up and let the remaining survivors live.
I just beat Malenia after like 6 hours and at least 100 attempts over 3 days. She was probably extremely annoyed with me, but she deserved it for getting the last word in every time.

That sounds like a lot but I was using a parry strat and that's hard :(
Congrats! And 100 attempts (or more!) is normal as far as I'm concerned.
I can't even remember what took me the most tries to beat naturally; it might have been Alecto actually. That bitch was hard af even with cheese tactics. Unnaturally, it's how many times I have tried to kill Mohg, Lord of Blood, at RL30 or lower; I managed to do it at level 1 only yesterday for the first time ever. And it took for-fucking-ever 😩.
I found ER pretty easy if actually leveling based on what stones you found in the area and always putting runes into levels after a major boss (remembrance bosses, really). Midir in DS3 has the record for most attempts in the games I have beaten; Owl takes it for all of them period (I still haven't beaten him to get to the rest of the game; but I saw a speed run where they cheesed him and I might just do that to get past the fuck). And it's not even like Midir was difficult, it was just a war of attrition with how often she would just take off to the entire other side of the room the moment I finally got in range to hit her.
