Zkin nailed it. I always got angry vibes from Vader, but he’s not stupid enough to get himself killed by beating at the controls of his ship. He uses his anger as fuel, but he doesn’t let it control him.

Also, in response to the claim that Anakin is loses it about every obstacle, there’s the ray shield scene in which he advocates for patience, and also pretty much everything else he does on the Invisible Hand except for the end of the duel with Dooku. I do agree that they went too far with his portrayal in AOTC though. But there’s also the fact that in the PT he’s simply younger and less mature. I think that was a good choice too on behalf of Lucas, to have him turn to the dark side when he was younger, because people are more impulsive during those years.
