Line 15:
* '''Deconstructed''':
** This used to present the idea that absolute moral judgement is not possible, shifting the setting to full-on [[Gray and Grey Morality]].
** Alternatively, what [[Doctor Who (TV)|the Doctor]] said about this sort of behavior and what it says about the villain in question.
* '''Reconstructed''': He does little acts of kindness because if absolutely moral purity is not possible, neither is absolute moral evil. Alternately, using [[Doctor Who (TV)|the Doctor's]] take on it, the villain in question really does feel conflicted about his actions and they may even lead to a [[Heel Face Turn]]
* '''Zig Zagged''': The villain lets the little girl go, but then shoots her. But then it turns out she was actually a demon in disguise. Then it turns out the demon was also a child and a [[Noble Demon]] to boot, so they're not evil. Then it turns out that the [[Noble Demon]] was being controlled by an [[Eldritch Abomination]], but then that turns out to be [[Not Evil, Just Misunderstood]]...
* '''Averted''': The villain has nothing to do with any kind of dog.
