Sounds like the same thing every time, just with different emphasis. Good/Evil ratios:
- 90/10 - good
- 40/60 - bad
- 1/99 - evil

Question about a trope. The trope The Good, the Bad, and the Evil has at least three diferent and mutually exclusive definitions across the wiki.
Most of the trops that reference it describe it as "there are good guys and bad guys, plus a third side that's worse than all of them".
Black-and-Gray Morality describes it "Black-and-Gray Morality, except there's a small good faction too."
And the trope page itself describes it as "the story is retconned with an Enemy Civil War so that the popular AntiVillains can join forces with the heroes."
Which one is right?
