Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
Unvetted example. The issue with Armus is because he is Made Of Evil, he lacks the agency to be a Complete Monster.


* CompleteMonster: Armus is a purely evil entity who commits barbaric acts for his own amusement and has no redeeming qualities to speak of. That being said, he is made up of nothing but evil impulses and is thus ''incapable'' of benevolence.

* JerkassWoobie: Armus, especially if he ever got free. He's a black liquid of pure evil made of the discarded negative emotions of an ancient race of highly advanced aliens, but he had no choice in his own creation and his constant state of undirected rage and hatred actually pains him as well. He wants nothing more than to be reunited with his creators for leaving him on a dead planet for millennia, but he will never get the chance. Both Picard and Troi express their pity for him while acknowleding his malevolence, but he angrily rejects it.

* {{Narm}}: The presentatio of Armus is often a failure in drama due to several factors; the fact that his dialogue sounds like it was recorded in a tin can, the fact that his anguished screams sound more like an overgrown child having a tantrum and the hokey (even for 1988) special effects.

* BrokenBase: There are some who actually enjoy this death due to avoiding a cliche glorious sacrifice, as well as teaching the audience and characters that in space, people can die and often there is nothing you can do to stop it. Others feel her death was too cheap and that Tasha deserved far better.
