* DiagnosedByTheAudience: Odin is one of the few completely straight examples of this trope on the entire comic—though at first he seems like a regular SmugSnake, [[spoiler: it soon becomes obvious that he has many severe mental problems, especially since he often has sex with a grotesque statue made out of meat, and eventually he completely loses touch with reality and turns into a rambling lunatic.]] Even compared to other lunatics, Odin's "lunacy" is most unusual and manifests in various ways.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Is Jesse Custer broadly in the right for most of the series, but with a few flaws, or is he initially a macho, judgmental asshole who learns to be more forgiving and empathetic over the course of the run?

to:

* MoralEventHorizon: The Saint crossed it when he [[ShootTheHostage Shot A Hostage]]. While he had done his fair share of evil while in the Civil War, it was all to soldiers and [[PayEvilUntoEvil equally evil mofos]]. When he shot an innocent, he marked his soul for hell.



* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: You would think Genesis, the source of Jesse's powers and whose conception started the whole story, would be a key player for the finale. [[spoiler: Nope. All he does is die when Jesse is shot by The Grail and then God makes sure he stays dead after reviving Custer.]]



* ValuesDissonance: When Arseface attempts suicide, his friend's sister Catherine gives him a massive harangue about how selfish and hurtful he's being to everyone else by trying to kill himself. She's presented as being in the right, and her speech inspires Arseface to change his ways. In a modern context, a person bitching out a suicide victim for being ''selfish'' reads ''far'' differently, and the scene becomes ''impossibly'' uncomfortable - especially since everything leading up to that scene makes it feel like Arseface was ''right'' when he writes "Nobody cared".

** Despite both being subconsciously manipulated into the forbidden affair, the mother of Genesis still sought out her partner so they could run away together and raise their unborn child as a family, only to be met with cold rejection and a cruel fate in return.

** When Cassidy first tells Tulip he's in love with her, they argue because she knows how much Cassidy has come to mean to Jesse and that it will destroy their friendship. He finally says he'll go away and leave the two of them alone, to Jesse's deep disappointment but Tulip's secret relief. But just as Tulip and Jesse are driving away, Cassidy catches up to them and says he'll go with them after all. Jesse's elated and welcomes him back, but when we see Tulip, the heartbreak is written all over her face, because she knows how badly this will end.

* AcceptableReligiousTargets: One of the main reasons this series exists is to make fun of and/or piss off Christians.



* AmbiguousDisorder: Many characters in this comic suffer from various mental disorders, but most of them clearly fall into an established cathegory such as psychopathy (and other personality disorders), substance abuse, or mental retardation; although the depiction of these disorders does show some ArtisticLicence. However, a straight example of this trope would be Odin Quincannon – though at first he seems like a regular SmugSnake, it soon becomes obvious that he has many severe mental problems, [[spoiler: especially since he often has sex with a grotesque statue made out of meat, and eventually he completely loses touch with reality and turns into a rambling lunatic.]] Even compared to other lunatics, Odin's "lunacy" is most unusual and manifests in various ways.
