Subvert Expectations

To destroy a great TV show with out-of-character actions and inconsistent logic for the sake of unneeded twists. Usually associated with Game of Thrones, but can be applied to Lost, Dexter, and other TV series.

Did you watch the last episode of Game of Thrones? D&D love to subvert expectations. Yesterday, they transformed Jon Snow into a wolf and made him eat Sansa.

Ideological Subversion

Ideological subversion is changing the perception of reality in 4 steps:

1. Demoralization
2. Destabilization
3. Crisis
4. New Normal

Ideological subversion by T.H.R.U.S.H. for insectualization. T.H.R.U.S.H. = Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity.

Ideological subversion, or “active measures”, is a form of psychological warfare. Programmed to react to stimuli but unable to change perception or logic. Moral standards, facts and common sense have no meaning. Forever process of new normal – problem, reaction, solution. Social credit scores. Order ab chao.

Rian-Subversion

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...
