The Conclusion

The Hot Oil Revenge Trope is the ultimate guilty pleasure because it rejects the moral ambiguity that burdens most dramas. It gives us pure, unfiltered justice, immediately satisfying our collective desire to watch the bad guy suffer without delay. Yes, it relies on a highly unrealistic scenario where the protagonist gains a billion dollars and unlimited political access in a three-episode flash-forward, but who cares? When the final blow lands with the force of an armored truck, we aren't asking about plausibility; we're just hitting the repeat button.
