** NiceJobFixingItVillain: The replica [[VillainHasAPoint rightfully points out]] that Valyx's fixation on Alberius and strive to be exactly like him makes it where he is unfit to be a ruler as he is following somebody else rather following his own path. However, Valyx agrees with him and changes things around by pointing out the same applies to the replica and that he strives to follow his own path from that point with Phares opting to the same after listening in. '''Sinkhole: The entry indicates that the hero isn't moved by the fact the villain says something he agrees with and instead says something that affects the villains. So, this seems to be a "villain makes a point that doesn't impact the hero" issue.'''

Status: Work in Progress.

Status: Work Completed

Summary:
While there is a lot of potholing and sinkholing of this trope, there wasn't as much as I expected. While there is some misuse of the trope
in Progress.
terms of whether the villain side, the hero side, and/or the point being made are correct, it also wasn't the most significant form of misuse. By far the greatest misuse is coming from the audience believing a villain has made a point that they support in some manner, regardless of whether the narrative supports that. This misuse is similar to the problem that BothSidesHaveAPoint suffered and required a TRS to resolve (where the audience believed two sides of an argument had valid points, when the trope was supposed to be about a third party or the narrative observing both sides had valid points).

The three main areas of misuse can be summarised as follows (from most problematic to least):
* Audience reaction (the audience likes a point the villain has made, regardless of whether the narrative supports that or the trope requirements have been met).
* The scope of the trope (a villain vs hero dialogue clash that leaves the hero shaken by the truth of the villain's words).
* Potholes/Sinkholes.
