: Re: Term for stereotype stories Is there any term to describe stories where the "evil" characters are extremely evil, and the good characters are extremely good?

If you're referring to older, unsophisticated stories, where the author was being quite straightforward, then "clichéd" is probably what you want. (Plain old unsophisticated works too, or broad or simplistic.)

If you're referring to current stories, or your own, where you're aware of such stereotypes and you're parodying them, you might say you're being "ironic." That only works if you actually are being ironic and you're mocking the stereotypes by overplaying them rather than writing as though it's correct.
