showdown between good and evil

One of his nightly shows recently presented the war as a kind of cosmic showdown between good and evil.

Much of that had begun much earlier, with Christian right leaders — both official and self-declared — framing the 2020 election, and the rest of America's polarized conflicts, as an all-or-nothing showdown between good and evil.

In both conspiracy theories and apocalyptic fantasies, life is reduced to a cosmic showdown between good and evil.

It is in any case something of a relief to find that the awakening of this ability is not for the nth time accompanied by the sudden appearance of another young person, who hisses "Follow me!" and brings her to a seemingly abandoned warehouse where others of her different kind are gathering together for self-protection or an apocalyptic showdown between good and evil.
