Shane/YMMV

• Color Coded for Your Convenience: One of the few good westerns to use the Black Hat White Hat Trope straight.
  • Strictly speaking, Shane's hat is gray, appropriate to his moral ambiguity.
• Complete Monster: Jack Wilson. He almost seems to get off by shooting people.
• Memetic Mutation: "Shane! Come back, Shane!"
• The Hero Dies: As noted on the main page, the question of whether this trope is played straight or subverted remains a topic of debate.
