Main Page: \"But, here\'s the interesting part... this means they have license to do anything. Want them to save a kitten from a tree? They can. Want them to kick the kitten in the very next moment? \'\'They can, with no contradiction of character.\'\'\"

[=PlayingWith=] Page: \"A Mary Sue or Marty Stu whose neutrality allows for an \'\'inconsistent personality\'\' and moral decisions.\"

I might be misunderstanding the terms \"inconsistent\" and \"contradiction\" but surely if a character has an inconsistent morality than that means that the character does things that are contradictory to choices the character previously made. There needs to be a deeper explanation for this if both statements are true, because one cannot be absolutely true if the other is absolutely true. This could be cleared up simply by explaining that the character\'s moral inconsistency is never contradicted, meaning that the character is stubbornly inconsistent about it\'s own established morality. I might be misunderstanding what the troper who made this is trying to say but that is just why I think the summary needs to be longer or just better at explaining itself.

And while you could say that Anakin is the linking element to the series as a whole, the thing is for 2.75 movies Anakin wasn't a villain.
