Consider Balance—this is extremely underdefined. As a very simple example, consider Star Wars. AFAICT Anakin was completely successful at bringing balance to the Force. He made it so there were 2 sith and 2 jedi. Then Luke showed there was another balance—he killed both sith. If Balance were a freely-spinning lever, the it can be balanced either horizontally (Anakin) or vertically (Luke), and any choice of what to put on opposite ends is valid as long as there is a tradeoff between them. A paperclip maximizer values Balance in this sense—the vertical balance where all the tradeoffs are decided in favor of paperclips.
Luke killing both Sith wasn’t Platonically balanced because then they came back in the (worse) sequel trilogy.
Once you expand beyond the original trilogy so much happens that the whole concept of the prophecy about the Skywalker family gets way too complicated to really mean much.
