Can TV and movie writers stop trying so hard to "subvert expectations" from now on, please? I'd much rather have something good that I expected than something shitty that I didn't. Sometimes people have expectations because the thing they expect would be satisfying, you know.

I guess in the world of TV Tropes existing and CinemaSins-type 'critique' that knocks creative output if it's "playing safe" writers and such feel they need to subvert expectations, go for the twist, change up the tropes etc.
It's mainly an issue with sticking the landing. You can subvert expectations (see Captain Marvel Skrulls) and be satisfying.
