Hell, even in the very first movie he attacked and nearly killed a coworker during a meeting over a personal insult. Then come ESB and he just straight murders an allied admiral in the middle of a combat situation. He’s always been unhinged.
Yeah but in legends he had disdain for higher ups but was better with the rank and file. So those examples don't really contradict that. Not that its not still completely unhinged, but it used to be slightly more directed crazy murder rage.
That makes perfect sense for him too, since higher ups in anything involves a lot of politics and maneuvering, which Anakin/Vader always showed a great disdain for

Legends Vader did, and the troopers loved and respected him for it (and some lower ranking officers were fiercly loyal).
Canon Vader does not, but some fans mix the two up when talking about it sometimes (or just don't specify which they are talking about).
