Anakin has a clear motive, and a logical progression from naive to evil.
Danny just decides to lose her shit one day.

...did he, though?
Anakin did not like sand, so therefore he had to kill all the younglings to win Padme's love. It's a very clear yet compelling character arc.
And you have to remember that he liked to spin as "it was a cool trick".
I'd say so
plucked from poverty and slavery, despite his mother remaining helpless, by a Jedi that was a part of an order that ultimately saw him as an unscrupulous means to an end of maintaining their power
he felt as though he could make a bigger difference than he was allowed if stated order relinquished their attempt at controlling him
this feeling was vindicated by his mother's torture and subsequent death
had his previously instilled beliefs challenged by two men he respected
incredibly strong motivation to go against the Jedi's wishes to save the one person he valued more than life itself
