Vader was dealing with a couple of decades of emotional baggage. Goku is a confirmed idiot and knows it he has the decision making abilities of a giant 10 year old. Fu was supplicant, he was trained to think first and foremost about his master to the point where his own life was only ever worth his duty. However don't judge all cases by that scatter shot. This is why I have encouraged you to think out characters as fully formed 3 dimensional beings. Because when they exist just for a plot-point with no lives or personalities outside those roles they lose impact and their choices break down under scrutiny. That isn't just for martyrs though, that applies to all roles. Create decent characters so their motivations and action do hold up.
