What is then?
If "good guy and bad guy" is a morality tale then basically every story is a morality tale. A morality tale illustrates a moral through its story. Eg Hansel and Gretel illustrates the moral of caution around strangers. The kids first meet the witch at which point following her seems consequentially insignificant or even positive as she promises treats, but then they learn that such offers from people they don't know may come with ulterior motives.

When a story at its outset labels one party as good and the other as bad and then they fight (such as the opening crawl of every Star Wars movie), then the story is not illustrating a moral. Like, Star Wars is just not about why the Empire is bad or why the Jedi are good. We already know blowing up Alderaan is bad and that stopping that behavior is good.
