126. Magical Boy v1 by The Kao (2022) - subverts Magical Girl tropes, by making the main character a trans boy who doesn't want any of this nonsense. Confusing formatting of speech bubbles, but great illustrations and fun story w good representation.

Superheroes started as this kid-friendly, pulpy colorful thing, and at some point we started subverting that trope to be darker, until the darkness and violence became status quo.

So now stuff like this is business as usual.

Horikoshi has established this framing of 2 characters to be synonymous with 'saving' within MHA.
To see this subverted as a way for Enji to reject his prior self & claw his own way up was so hard hitting wow. Bones will do wonders with this.

The slow reveal of the origins of Carly's powers has been enthralling. I love speculating and theorizing along the way. This book has yet to let me down. No worries for subverted expectations here!

subverting the norm of masculinity while simultaneously proving that love doesn't have to be romantic nor fraternal to be good and nothing is truly good or evil; they would have been the perfect antiheroes ಥ_ಥ

It sure subverted everyone's expectations.

I personally love how every volume from V1 to V8 actually mattered and was cohesively woven into one grand finale for V9-V10.

With how much modern movies alter classic stories and try to subvert expectations, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs feels oddly refreshing despite (or because of) being a typical fairy tale. There is padding, but that just means sitting through more golden age animation.

Dang, I got a like while I slept.
Zelda lends herself to a lot of very appealing designs, while sometimes subverting from the damsel in distress standards.

My favorite incarnations of Zelda probably have to be from Breath of the Wild, Hyrule Warriors, and Twilight Princess.

Gonna rant about CJ as a protagonist bc I'm obsessed with her

I just think she's a very interesting and unique type of JRPG protagonist that doesn't come along very often! I avoided info about the game beforehand bc I like being surprised, but she subverted all my expectations

His pride was taken seriously, especially by Goku, in that image you sent it was used to subvert expectation, that doesn't mean his pride was ever a thing to make fun of. https://t.co/oOgufRAvIn
