Line 4:
Perhaps a [[Mook]] knows he is turning good, but also realizes [[Redemption Equals Death]]. So he uses his upcoming death as a [[Thanatos Gambit]] against the [[Big Bad]]. Or a girl in a romantic comedy knows who she will end up with, and knowing that the other guy feels that [[I Just Want My Beloved to Be Happy]], helps get another girl to be noticed by that guy.
Note that a [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]] character might also take into account the upcoming trope might be a trick, and this is a [[Subverted Trope]]. Thus that character might [[Xanatos Gambit|plan for either outcome]]. (And learning to exploit tropes is one way to ''become'' Dangerously Genre Savvy.)
Compare [[Invoked Trope]] (which is deliberately trying to make a trope happen) and [[Flaw Exploitation]].
