They both breathe air.
They both wear helmets.
They both have a cape.
They're both human.
They both have two arms and two legs.
...
It won't be much of a study if you don't consider the differences between the two.

Vader has prostetic arms and legs

-Their obsession with defeating evil eventually drove them insane and ended up creating the epitome of evil that they swore to fight.This isn't true in Vader's case. Like, at all.

Yeah.. pretty sure it wasn't so much that he hated evil, considering Anakin willingly went to the Dark Side to become stronger... Insane, yes, but obsessed with defeating evil? Not even close.

InsaneI wouldn't even go that far, at least not before he's put in the suit (at which point he's unquestionably already evil). Stupid and very gullible? Yes. Insane? No.

I go much more in depth with this in my actual study. In this summary, you're correct, it's absolutely inaccurate.
You're an arts major, aren't you?

I would say insane in that he totally thought going to the Dark Side was just a "temporary thing, man" and that it would eventually work out for him and Padme.

Thats because you needed to do wpl and epl to learn alot of arthas lore...and those sucked so very very much. I still have flashbacks to being trapped behind a tower with some very angry gigantic slugs that took down my pally, an spriest, and a hunter :/ (admittedly I was holy and me and the hunter were complete newbs but still) /shudder winterspring here we come!

Again, I would say that is more stupidity and him being gullible than it is him being insane.

Star Wars used a lot of common tropes, but did them very well. The whole Fallen Hero archetype is a standard from antiquity, and that's really what we're seeing here.

I was more making a statement about how everything seems to be a reference or related to something, which is simply because smart minds think alike. Darth Vader was most definitely not the first of his kind, he was just the most memorable. Stories of corrupted heroes can be found in some of the earliest Paganic cultures known to man. But hey, we share more than 98% of our DNA with Chimpanzees, and Arthas just has a few general aspects given to almost every once-hero villain under the sun. Obviously, Humans = Chimpanzees.

He went to the Dark Side for one reason only, to save his secret Wife Padme.
This goes to show you the length some men go for pu$$y in the galaxy. Destroy an entire elite band of Jedi Master's / Warriors, enslave billions, conquer whole worlds, and destroy entire planets, just to get some.
