lame excuse for a really bad plot twist in a movie or series

subverting expectations

Taking established points of previous installments in a franchice belowed by billions of people and completely destroying it to un unrecoverable state, deforming the most miniscule details as well (e.g. how gravity works in space), just because you have the power to do it while NOT taking any accountability your actions.

The Last Jedi is subverting expectations of the Star Wars fans.
