I'm really enjoying these. They show that he isn't just about beating anybody up but he actually has a code that he lives by. If he beats up everyone, he's just 1980s Heathcliff. By offering these counter examples, we see a much more complex person.

This is true, and there was a joking element to my comment, though I do think if you happen to start with these two, expectations will be mis-set in a very jarring way. For those folks, poor Everett is about to snap.

Yeah they would be the worst possible introduction to Mr True. It's like hearing Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Queen and expecting the rest of what they do to be Rockabilly.
