Playing the victim?

Movies and TV shows nowadays are very fond of portraying the villain as being a victim.

If Star Wars was re-made, I guess Darth Vader would be the likeable anti-hero, Obi-wan Kenobi his zealous persecutor and Luke Skywalker some sort-of Nazi Youth League guy? 

We'd have to listen to Vader give long, whining stories about the challenge of being a bad parent whilst he goes out to kill and torture thousands. 

He'd be the main reason why people watched the movie and everyone would feel sorry for him.

When did things get so messed-up?
