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 entirely subjective. A recurring evil character either has redeeming qualities presented as such within the moral framework of the story, or they don't. The Complete Monster may be a [[Magnificent Bastard]] or a [[Draco in Leather Pants]] to some audience members, but the completeness of their monstrosity does not depend on how well the audience receives them.
