Genre Adultery: Difference between revisions

This trope doesn't just exclusively apply to literature, but it's certainly an obvious way to phrase it. Music albums, movie sequels, even tv shows can be a radical departure from the creator's norm. The only thing that matters is that the new style is never return to again in such a manner which is what distinguished it from [[He Also Did]], its Supertrope.

 

 

{{examples}}

* ''[[Special Duty Combat Unit Shinesman]]'' was quite a departure from Kaimu Tachibana's [[Boys Love|usual work]].

* [[Naoki Urasawa]] is responsible for ''[[Monster (manga)|Monster]]'', ''[[20th Century Boys]]'', and... ''[[Yawara a Fashionable Judo Girl]]''.

* The author of ''[[Angel Densetsu]]'', a very [[Genre Savvy]] humorous story is also the author of the bleak and gorey fantasy series ''[[Claymore]]''. Oddly, the two do have a bit of a connection, as some characters are visual expies of each other.

 

* [[Eliezer Yudkowsky]] is most well-known for the blog [[Less Wrong]], as well as having written ''[[Three Worlds Collide]]'' and the fanfic ''[[Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality]]'', which are more or less [[Author Tract]]s about his view of rationality. He also wrote ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5731071/1/Peggy_Susie Peggy Susie]'', which is a parody of ''[[The Terminator]]'' [[Fusion Fic|using Calvin and Hobbes characters]], which contains very little philosophical speculation.

* [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1747252/superstarultra superstarultra] is an author well-known in the ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' fandom for his [[Crack Fic]]s. He is also in the process of writing a horror-story collection. Then again, [[Sliding Scale of Comedy and Horror|perhaps this is to be expected.]]

 

* [[Mel Brooks]] produced ''[[The Elephant Man]]'' but had his name removed so that nobody thought it was a comedy.

** He also produced David Cronenberg's remake of ''[[The Fly]]''.

* Bob Clark directed several notable horror films in the early '70s, including ''Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things'', ''Deathdream'', and the groundbreaking ''[[Black Christmas]]''. Then he abandoned horror, directed the teen sex comedy [[Porky's]], and spent the last 20 years of his career making more family-friendly films such as ''[[A Christmas Story]]'' and ''[[Baby Geniuses]]''.

 

* "[[The Monkey's Paw]]" was the one and only horror story by a fellow who mostly wrote about sailors.

* While it's in the sci-fi genre like most of his stories, ''Good Night, Mr. James'' by Clifford D. Simak has been described by the author himself as unique ? it's much darker in tone than most of his work, and has a [[Shoot the Shaggy Dog]] ending.

* Steve Martini started off writing courtroom dramas with twist endings. His series character suddenly found himself thrust into the world of international assassins and intrigue and has stopped a few weapons of mass destruction.

 

* [[Lights]], a Canadian [[Synth Pop]] artist, released an acoustic EP with re-workings of some of her previous songs, as well as a brand new song and a light re-imagining of an old punk song.

* ''Remain in Light'' by [[Talking Heads (band)|Talking Heads]].

* This is what launched Ludwig von Beethoven's fame, for when got deaf, he moved out of his classical style and shifted music towards the romantic period.
