I struggle with the term "out of character" because it implies that characters are only allowed to have certain traits and never stray from them. Like if a person in real life made an unexpected choice, you would accept it, even if you thought it was strange. You wouldn't accuse them of being a different person or something. So if the writers make a choice for the character, we should accept it, as it is canonly what the character did, regardless of if we think it is strange or not.
