Basic Trope: An episode swaps the perspective morality of the protagonist and antagonist.
- Straight: The new episode of Trope Heroes plays from the perspective of Emperor Evulz, revealing details intended to make him seem sympathetic.
- Exaggerated: An entire season is dedicated to Emperor Evulz, revolving around him actually trying to make part of the world a better place and even making him seem more like a hero despite being the Nominal Villain.
- Downplayed: Part of the episode reveals that Emperor Evulz has other duties beside evil .
- Justified:
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones
- Evil needs to do shopping too.
- or, Evulz is just a Punch-Clock Villain.
- Inverted: An episode of Trope Heroes is dedicated to portraying Harold the hero as an internal Jerkass.
- Subverted: Near the end of the episode, it is revealed that Evulz was just doing some acting on his off-day.
- Double-Subverted: ...recording what he wanted to do when he was finally done with his evil work.
- Zig-Zagged: ...which was just another chore of his before planning for another evil misdeed.
- Parodied: The episode is dedicated to Evulz goofing off on video games and writing lame excuses for his misdeeds.
- Averted:
- There is no episode dedicated to Evulz.
- The episode only portrays Evulz' secret plans and cruel reasoning.
- Enforced: The creators don't want to portray Trope Heroes as another generic Black-and-White Morality superhero show, so they dedicate an episode to make it White-and-Grey Morality instead.
- Lampshaded: "Evulz, are you just going to spend the whole day goofing on good deeds?"
- Invoked: Evulz himself records a video of himself justify his "evil" actions.
- Exploited: Harold gains information of Evulz and sends the information to The Federation.
- Defied: Evulz breaks the fourth wall and taunts the viewer for thinking they'd get an episode of him on his off-day.
- Discussed: "When can I ever get some sympathy for myself? Perhaps on the right season..."
- Conversed: Viewer: "The writers definitely did well at expanding Evulz' character."
- Deconstructed: Even a single episode dedicated to giving Evulz sympathy gives Harold enough time to foil his plans. After all, Evulz is the Nominal Villain of the series.
- Reconstructed: That doesn't immediately mean that Harold is just going to kill Evulz right on the spot. In fact, he returns to save "Evulz" one day.
- Implied: The episode shows hints of Evulz acting better than usual.
