Eeeh, sometimes.
I feel like when morally grey is pulled off, it's pulled off spectacularly! But when it fizzles it fizzles really badly.

Where as a good simple good vs. evil can be enjoyed even if it's a bit half-hearted about it.

I mean the perfect example of how morally grey can fizzle is Snape. Snape was supposed to be morally grey, but according to fandom he is either a saint or a monster.

"Snape was supposed to be morally grey, but according to fandom he is either a saint or a monster."

Interesting comment! I think that Snape actually IS written as morally grey, but that the two large fandom factions seem to identify too much with one single facet of him - either the bullied or bullying side - and their reactions to the character seem to be based solely off that one characteristic. Either they empathize with him because they were bullied by their peers, or they loathe him because they were bullied by a teacher.

I think that the written execution of the character does seem morally grey. And that fandom loves morally grey, unless it hits too close to home, in which case they default to the good/evil dichotomy.
