That's why going by the character MUST be secondary to the Creative/writers' setting and narrative.

When I write a story, I don't need/want/care for fans/readers to be making their own decisions about who is what in it. Now, as a fanfic writer, unless I'm making an AU What'if, my hands a pretty much tied to what the characters are supposed to be in their franchises. Without an AU, Shego must be Evil, Kim must be Good. (Ironic as my flagship fic has Kim turning Evil).

But when it comes to my original characters, they are as *I* say they are.

So when we deal with the characters of others, we need to accept them as their creatives give them to us and shelve our interpretations.
