Tropes don\'t exist in vacuum. The use of one trope often leads the audience to expect other tropes to appear that have been coupled with that trope in the past. Especially if you\'re talking about a story that is part of everyone or nearly everyone\'s reference pool. If a movie uses Trope A, then the audience is expecting Tropes B, C, and possibly some variation D to appear. Having them not appear can be as much a subversion of audience expectations as subverting Trope A in the first place. (This is actually an interesting train of thought, and should be explored more, I think, but later.)
