Why is Disney trying to turn Darth Vader into an Anti-hero?

He was always supposed to be an anit-hero. See Episode I, II and VI
Grayson Phillips
He's an anti-hero only in the sense that he doesn't murder people on the spot and occasionally acts against the Emperor and the good of the Empire for his own reasons. Very little of what he's done in the comics can be described as "heroic," even in the anti- sense.

Star Wars did that decades ago, retard

Dark Horse did it first.

I think a better question is "why is Disney making Darth Vader a force powered god?"
I get he's "the Chosen One" and that the Force can do crazy things, but until Disney took over he was a crippled middle aged man at a fraction of his potential because he was missing half his body. Then Disney takes over and suddenly he's GOTTA GO FASTing all over a Star Destroyer, fighting an entire Rebel army alone, and in today's issue he fights a civilization-ending creature alone and cuts it to ribbons. It makes the fights in the original trilogy look even more ridiculous by comparison.

I personally believe it’s a good change in direction. He is the Chosen One after all. Three years of straight warfare is going to definitely have an effect on him. Not to mention he has all that anger and frustration to vent out. Darth Vader is also sent on dangerous missions by Sheev all the time, wouldn’t make sense to send a cripple other than a walking juggernaut of death.

Has anyone storytimed Scouring of Shu-Torun yet?

Because before the prequels nobody knew what he was supposed to be capable of. The new materials take the prequels properly into account and portrays him rightfully as one of the most powerful Force users to have ever lived and an unstoppable killing machine to anyone that isn't Sheev or a main character. Non EU materials have been VASTLY doing Vader justice.

better question might be, why they always trying to make him look like a midget?

Nevermind, found it in Poe Dameron 30. Could not remember that happening at all.

I got intrigued enough to check out the book, and the first sentence of the first page was enough to lose me. "I found a book once." Every level, lucasfilm mishandles Star Wars on every level.
Jose Barnes
Vader vol1 was fantastic. Vol2 was fine, but the end in mustafar is nearly too much. I like the idea of artifacts of the dark side, but I fear they will use some timetravel shit like in rebels sooner or later
Brandon Gray
That was the same realm as in Rebels
Logan Brown
Plus it makes his defeat by Obi wan even more impressive/hilarious because despite being the fucking chosen one and one of the strongest force users ever to go could kill kaiju Obi just had maxed defense stats and crippled him the second he made a stupid move

Because that is what starwars does best. It takes the characters you like reading about and turning them into badasses. That is why despite questionable quality, most of the old eu was loved for one reason or the other despite you hating chunks of it, you always found something to love.
Some random side character you ended up liking? They made a story for him.
Every person is somewhere in their own hero's journey.
Vader sells. He's probably one of the most recognizable characters of all time now. That is why they shoe horn him into everything. Lucas realized it, so did disney, so who will whoever picks it up after disney burns it to the ground.

The comics don't matter. Nothing but movies and tv shows really matter. They can do whatever they want, at best it'll be item #7 in a listicle about "crazy star wars stories you never knew about".
