re: "Subverting Expectations" (Ultra mild spoilers for a couple of movies)

"Subverting Expectations" used to be an interesting tool when it wasn't used specifically to make political statements or to tear down the things people loved, just to tear them down or to make way for "something else" that wasn't the thing people wanted.
You can easily see this in reboot culture.
I'm on my fake news rant today, but honestly, I also think "subverting expectations" is also used now to covertly destabilize expected truths, or cultural truths.

I think there is some of that going on, but I also think it has just replaced popcorn flick as the marketing term they use when they know the movie is garbage.
There has definitely been a concerted effort to tear down old school culture and replace it with PC nonsense and they have been calling that effort subverting expectations.
And for the most part, the tear down and replace effort has been a big pile of garbage thus nothing more than popcorn flick trash.
