Quite a lot of the examples on the page are just listing character traits that sort of line up with them rather than the deadly sin being represented or mentioned as a factor. Let\'s take the Frozen example:
Frozen (2013): (Spoilered Character) suffers from six of these sins.
Pride: Spare to the Throne of his kingdom, he wants to become the ruler of any country via shortcuts. If he became king, he\'ll force his brothers to acknowledge him as an equal.
Gluttony: If one goes by the Biblical definition, he\'s already wealthy being the prince of a foreign kingdom, but wants to ascend over his current status.
Greed: He\'s a power-hungry backstabber. Why would he care about familial or romantic relations when he\'s pursuing a kingdom?
Lust: He tried courting Elsa but backed off when told that she\'s a reclusive person.
Envy: He grew up in the shadow of 12 older brothers, all of whom are more successful than he is.
Wrath: His pursuit of power masks his ultimate desire to get back at his older brothers, whom he never bonded with in youth.
Sloth: The only sin he doesn\'t suffer from. Not only does Hans puts a lot of thought and effort into his plans, but he also decided to save Elsa from being killed by one of the duke\'s men, when he could have easily of finished his plan to kill Elsa by allowing the guard to kill her, claim he couldn\'t stop him in time and use said guard as a scapegoat to avoid looking bad.\"
Sure, agree, this is an accurate character analysis. But what do they have to do with the sins? Wouldn\'t all characters, especially villains, represent some of these traits? And it isn\'t the only example, either. Many other examples, Chowder, Fire Lord Ozai, Terry Silver, they don\'t have any connection to the deadly sins.
I could add an example about how the Scooby-Doo gang represent the deadly sins and it would fall exactly in line with how the trope is currently. It comes off as \"Hey, this character is a character! Here\'s things that describe them!\"
If Word of God or popular fan theory states that they were connected to the sins in some way, like the popular fan theory of the Spongebob cast connecting to the seven deadly sins, that\'d be one thing, but right now it\'s not very good.
