When a villain in a story crosses the '''Moral Event Horizon''', this means the antagonist carries out an action so despicably evil it eliminates any sympathy from the audience and makes him or her an irredeemable villain. With the '''Goodness Zone''', it is a different story.
−
−
This comes from the '''Goldilocks Zone''' in the Solar System where Mercury and Venus are close to the sun, making them super hot. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are far away from the sun, making them super cold. Earth is right in the middle, so it is "just right", like the porridge Goldilocks ate.
−
−
Basically, when the hero or heroine plays around the Goodness Zone, this means he or she performs an action that is neither too big or small - one that is so selfless, compassionate, or heroic that it cements the protagonist as an endearing and redeemable protagonist truly worth caring about and rooting for. If the hero plays around the Goodness Zone and it costs them their own lives, especially for sake of others, it doubles as [[Heroic Sacrifice]].
−
−
Heroes who are Pure of Heart constantly play around the Goodness Zone, but even those who are not can do that too.
