Double Subverted Examples?
3.5BRAINROT SCOREDouble Subverted A trope that seems to be subverted but then returns to the conventional outcome, so the audience's expectation is first overturned and then restored. Example: a character who seems to have escaped the usual fate is killed after all.
Origin:The label is TV Tropes vocabulary and follows the pattern "played straight, then subverted, then double subverted". Wikipedia's TV Tropes article describes the site as a catalogue of narrative conventions maintained by volunteer contributors; no dated first use of the exact phrase is documented in the sources opened. It builds on subverted (a trope set up and then defied) and is the opposite move from played straight, where the trope runs as expected with no twist.
