Except I suppose with the second Star Wars, where they threw out the most of the movie in order to "subvert expectations"
- lommelun 4y agoThey only “subvert expectations” in popular content. First seasons and new IPs are fairly traditional and follow common writing tropes (although poorly, as if the knowledge has eroded). It’s only when something gets popular that it gets the “updated for modern audiences” treatment.
- fakedang 4y agoI would say they wanted to follow the original formula way too closely, hence all the stuff that actually subverted expectations for the worse.
