Leia is afraid of him since the first scene, just look at her eyes. The next time we see him, is when he fights Obi-wan and literally kills him. In the trench run, he kills Luke’s comrades one-by-one, and this builds more and more the tension and the fear that Luke might be his next victim. So, yeah, I’m consistent: I felt he was an actual constant threat in ANH.

You know, if you think about it, he wasn’t that badass, considering Poe had no problem making fun of him since the very first scene 😄

Good guys always mock the bad guys. Or do you really think Tarkin smelled and kept Vader on a leash? 😉

“Always” not sure (honestly, I can’t remember other fitting examples in the OT), but you’re right about Tarkin 😄
Doesn’t help that’s Ren’s first scene. Again, consider that’s not Vader’s case in ANH, hell in the whole OT. These guys are supposed to be the main villains, after all 😄
