** GoodVersusGood.

** Since fiction nowadays is GrayAndGreyMorality at best and BlackAndGreyMorality at worst, the author wants their story to stand out by portraying the heroes as unambiguously good and the villains as sympathetic and misguided, especially if the author simply dislikes real villains and finds them flat and cartoonish, but still finds charm in heroes.

* '''Inverted''': BlackAndGrayMorality.

** A hero who is in favor of moral absolutism says this quote:

* '''Parodied''': The conflict is said to cause philosophers headaches by the very nature of good and evil it's presenting, where as regions are divided on it and the conflict is causing them to split off into factions. The entire conflict is over one ice cream stand charging a little extra for sprinkles, just so with tax it would cost an even amount, while the other gives them for free with every cone.

* '''Conversed''': ???

** The villains' sympathetic qualities is just full proof that they will never be willing to turn from their villany. This causes the heroes (and the audience) to lose sympathy for them and must take them out immediately.
