We don't see Vegeta going around and doing these terrible things in the present. We only hear about it or get brief glimpses. The main characters don't experience it, the audience doesn't experience it, because the story itself doesn't revolve around any of it.
At most, Vegeta himself is portrayed as a cold and ruthless fighter, a lone wolf, going after what he wants while trying to survive. He wants ultimate power, yes, but he doesn't have it yet. It's only ambition, and even then we only hear about it after the Saiyan saga when he's no longer the primary antagonist.
The writing just isn't interested in building up Vegeta as a super big deal, or spending time on expressing how terrible he is. That's what sets him apart from the rest.
I'll just quote someone from the comments above:
High-functioning sociopaths have a sense of logic that allows them to dial it back and even cooperate with others if it's in their best interest. But being capable of killing innocent people so you can achieve a selfish goal (in this case, becoming immortal so he could take the Space Hitler crown) is fucking evil
And, I honestly don't get what is it you are trying to get at, you seem to be throwing a new random fact in every reply you make that doesn't serve any purpose for your argument and just keeps you deviating from it.
"We don't see Vegeta going around and doing these terrible things in the present"
LOL Seriously what the hell is your point with that?
Yes, we don't see him doing it now, we saw him doing in his debut. He never paid consequences for that. And?
He wants ultimate power, yes, but he doesn't have it yet. It's only ambition
I already replied twice to this. Ignored.
I'll just ask it again,
Frieza didn't achieve his goal either, it was ambition. How is it different for Vegeta? Do you actually have a response for this?
