I'd think I would go for the opposite, that both Vader and Anakin fit Prince of Hope, but for different reasons. Anakin is the "chosen one" which is a fancy way of saying he is very powerful compared to jedi even above his skill level (episode 1 he is immediately compared to yoda when his connection to the force is lightly examined and there are probably many feats that show the sheer amount of power with force he has) so Anakin would fit the "Uses the power of Hope to destroy" interpretation of a Prince (of Hope) but he does so for good reasons, while Darth Vader is very much the "Destroyer of Hope" interpretation, i'm not sure that one needs explaining. This difference is both a good example of how one can "be" their classpect in different ways, but also how classpecting can be confusing if not taking all possibilities into account.loomingDoom wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2020 4:38 amI would Argue that only Darth Vader is Prince of Hope and Anakin isn't as weird as it might be if we keep in line with how it works in Starwars. Where almost no one in the story consider Anakin and Darth Vader the same person and if you follow him from the Clone Wars series, he's definitely not a Prince of Hope in my opinion. But i wouldn't be able to tell you what he is. Maybe Knight of Hope? Not sure
(you did bring up a valid point though: can characters change classpects if undergoing a massive/permanent change? personally I think not, but maybe something will come along that changes my mind in the future.)
Rick & Morty (adult swim series)
Rick Sanchez - Prince of Mind - Rick fits this so well, the Prince is obvious due to Rick's nature of almost constant destruction of everything and Mind is shown through all of his conflicts being decisions and consequences of them, Rick is capable of both physical and emotional destruction through his intellect or his, possibly, bad decisions. But most importantly he is always the smartest and most logical person in the room, giving him the clear advantage of executing a plan and people for the greatest impact of destruction.
