Lesser of Two Evils: Difference between revisions

Compare [[Black and Grey Morality]], when those who are technically the "good guys" are the lesser evil.

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==

* ''[[Last Exile: Fam, The Silver Wing]]'': Liliana joins Luscinia and his plans after realizing that even though he is bent on conquering the world and killed her father, killing him [[It Got Worse|will only makes things worse]] since his death will lead to a massive civil war in Ades over his position and the Exile nations will use that war to their advantage to grab power.

* ''[[An Unsung Song]]'': To help the Capitol or {{spoiler|District Fourteen}}?

* ''[[Ponies Make War]]'': This is pretty much the justification for {{spoiler|allying with Discord}} in order to defeat [[Big Bad|Titan]]. As {{spoiler|Celestia}} puts it, they've dealt with the former before, and besides, "better the devil you know".

* In ''[[Vorkosigan Saga]]'', Prince Serg is so [[Up to Eleven|outrageously]] [[The Caligula|psychopathic]] that his father considers it necessary to both start an unprovoked war and then lose it deliberately just so Prince Serg and his supporters can be killed in the process.

* ''[[Seven Days]]'': Let the world be destroyed, or give the psycho the keys to the time machine?

* ''[[Legacy of Kain]]'': {{spoiler|Raziel}} allows himself to be absorbed into the Reaver rather than be the Elder God's captive for the rest of eternity. He's a prisoner either way, but one of his prisons can do more good than the other.

* In [[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots]], Snake tries to stop Liquid from taking over the system. He would have total control over pretty much the whole world. Given how much of a nut he's proven himself to be, the protagonists feel that at least [[Ancient Conspiracy|The Patriots]] give the world more stability than Liquid would.

== [[Web Original]] ==

* ''[[Marc Mues]]'': Invoked in the eponymous video series where two horrible musicians are compared to each other.
