"Rian Johnson" is synonymous with the literary element of "Subversion". This term is usually used when a writer writes backward in the story to force a surprise on the audience. This move is typically viewed negatively by the audience due to the writing walking back on previously establish content, which most tentative audience members feel their attention to detail is not being rewarded.

This term was born after the release of "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" and is in reference to the Writer/Director Rian Johnson.
"Wow... I can't believe the Game Of Thrones directors Rian Johnson'd the show so Arya could kill the Night King as a surprise"

When there is a twist in a movie that has no build up, makes no sense and happens just to shock the audience.
Such a practice was created by Rian Johnson with his controversial movie, The Last Jedi.
Guy 1: Hey dude! Did you see that movie?
Guy 2: I did, and it was shit.
Guy 1: How so?
Guy 2: The characters are bland, and the movie does the Rian-Subversion too much.
Guy 1: Dear god...
