"Subverting Expectations
This phrase is even worse than popcorn flick. Whenever something is total crap, it is either a popcorn flick or now it has become subverting expectations.
People should be tarred and feathered anytime they use those phrases.

I subverted the expectations of your popcorn flick. Pray I do not subvert them any further.

It's also a lazy cop out for producing garbage. If you went to a steak restaurant and they served you a bowl of rat turds that would subvert the hell out of your expectations.
The phrase has become a widespread meme of mockery for a reason. Anything shitty can use that as a defense.
The Star Wars Holiday Special subverted expectations pretty effectively too.

Respectfully disagree. It’s still a useful club in a filmmakers bag, but when it’s the only club you have it’s useless
Knives Out had good acting, a good plot, humor, and suspense along with subverting expectations (but very little).
Last Jedi used “subverting expecatations” 95% of the time and the other 5% was fan service with Luke and Yoda.
Rogue One basically did the opposite IMO but had much better acting, unfortunately from characters whose name I will never remember bc there story matters nothing to me even as a Star Wars fan.
