Pure Evil is tricky anyway, you helped to spark an interesting debate and you didn't go too far either.. a lot of users in the past used to get destructive and needlessly foul-mouthed etc over different opinions, you seem to listen so it's not something I think you should be sorry about.

you felt strongly about a character, so you wanted to defend them - I believe Complete Monster is known as a "YMMV" trope anyway.. which means everyone has different opinions on the matter, the rules change quite a lot as well.

it's a complicated category, basically the reason torture films rarely count is because they tend to lack motives or plot - it doesn't mean the characters aren't horrible.. it's mainly outside factors like lack of any real message by writers and over-use of taboos just for the sake of getting a response from people.
