Line 15:
[[Offscreen Villainy]] is advised against, with few exceptions depending on how clear the results of said villainy are.
[[Tropes Are Not Good]]; the Complete Monster can sometimes be indicative of lazy writing. A villain with no redeeming qualities can be viewed as exceedingly simplistic.
This trope is, surprisingly, not subjective. A recurring evil character either has redeeming qualities, presented within the moral framework of the story, or not. The Complete Monster may be a [[Magnificent Bastard]] or a [[Draco in Leather Pants]] -- the completeness of the monstrosity does not depend on how well the characters or audience likes him.
{{noreallife|calling other people completely irredeemable is rude at best. Calling ''yourself'' one implies either a lack of understanding of the trope or severe mental illness.}}
