Fan Casting A Lighter Shade of Black

Role added by connieblackwood on October 26, 2023

Description of A Lighter Shade of Black:

While Evil Versus Evil may be fun, it carries the risk of making people say "Too Bleak, Stopped Caring": people just do like having someone to cheer for, but if both sides are equally reprehensible, then there's really no point to it. So that's where this trope kicks in. It basically means that the author is clearly trying to portray one side of the conflict as the better or more sympathetic one, so the audience can root for them. Since both sides are supposed to be villains, this isn't that hard. You just need to give your Lighter Black a little edge on the sympathy meter. The idea is to have the audience say "Yeah, Alice may be evil, but at least she's not half as bad as Bob!"
