Line 17: [[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~~[[Gushing About Characters You Like\|Gushing About Villains You ~~subjective~~Like]]. 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. {{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.}}
