History PlayingWith / VileVulture

** The vultures only ate Bob's body because they were very hungry and there was nothing else available for them to eat. To the vultures, if Bob cared about being eaten then he would have run away or defended himself by now.

* '''Deconstructed''': Because of their nature as scavengers, the vultures are unfairly seen as vile and villainous.

* '''Justified''': Carrion has a sort of FreudianExcuse that explains why he became evil. For example, everyone always thought he was a nobody because ScavengersAreScum, so he decided ThenLetMeBeEvil.

* '''Zig Zagged''': Vultures may eat the dead and may make jokes at their prey's expense but their role is essential to the ecosystem and they weren't the ones who killed their food source.

** Vultures see their eating habits as a public service because, without the vultures to eat the bodies, the environment would be full of scavengers who are more dangerous to people than them and rampant with diseases.

* '''Parodied''': ???

* '''Exploited''': ???

* '''Conversed''': Bob is alone and stranded, he is close to death and sees a vulture sitting next to him.
--> '''Bob''': Quit it with the pleasantries, I know you're gonna eat me.\\
'''Vulture''': (wearing a napkin bib with Bob's face on it and holding a knife and fork) Eeh, what? No! No I won't!

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

** The vulture is eating a corpse and was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
* '''Double Subverted''': The "friendly" vulture turns out to be TheMole.

** Vultures are offended by the notion that they kill and their "evilness" is attributed to practicality, prejudice from the other characters, and the vulture [[ObliviouslyEvil simply lacks any self-awareness]] (they don't see the problem with perching on dead trees, waiting for their prey to die, and enveloping a corpse once they've stopped moving).

** An evil character uses vultures as an AnimalMotif.

* '''Justified''': Vultures are scavengers and carnivores, they need to gain the proper nutrients from meat in order to survive. Plus, they only kill out of desperation not because they're sadistic or evil.
* '''Inverted''': Vultures don't kill, they are just shown waiting for Bob to kill Alice or waiting for Bob to die so they can eat. They're not forcing Bob to kill or making his injuries worse so he'd die faster.

** Vultures are offended by the notion that they kill and their "evilness" is attributed to a lack of self-awareness. It is revealed that they stand on dead trees because they can see farther without any of the leaves in the way and with the smaller twigs having broken off, it makes it easier for them to perch. Vultures may eat cadavers but they weren't the ones who killed them and they have to eat something. To a vulture, it's better to eat the dead than to kill.

* '''Justified''': Vultures are scavengers and carnivores, they need the gain the proper nutrients from meat in order to survive. Plus, they only kill out of desperation not because they're sadistic or evil.

** Despite their eating habits, vultures are seen as noble and heroic for cleaning up the ecosystem.
