Pulled the following example. It's Conversation In The Main Page, and while I think both the initial entry and the response have good points, I don't know how to go about integrating them.

  • Out-of-Character Moment: Harry describes himself as being somehow for the system, despite having shot every criminal he ever tried to put away, (at that point at least, in The Dead Pool he actually managed to put some mobsters in jail), and preferring to do so, as illustrated in his exchange with the mayor at the beginning of the first film. In fact, the only distinction between him and the rogue traffic cops was that Harry managed to avoid hurting anyone who didn't 'deserve' it, and that he at least tried to put them in prison first.
    • Actually, there's a big difference. For the most part, the bad guys that Harry shoots are criminals, and usually either because they shot at him or they were threatening to kill hostages; the dirty cops couldn't make the same claim as they also kill witnesses. He also doesn't describe himself as being necessarily for the system, instead saying that he despises the system but still has an obligation to abide by it, and while he dislikes the current system, he thought the vigilante cops' alternative was worse:
      Harry: When the police start becoming their own executioners where’s it going to end, Briggs? Pretty soon you start executing people for jaywalking. And executing people for traffic violations. Then you end up executing your neighbor because his dog pisses on your lawn.
