Inverted Trope: Difference between revisions

== Film ==

* In the beginning of ''[[Star Wars|The Phantom Menace]]'', the Jedi are trying to get into the control room where the Neimodians are. Lucas explained that this is an inversion of typical scene where a monster tries to get into the room where the protagonists are. And just like the monster may be scared away at the beginning of the film, so are the Jedi.

* ''A Kid In King Arthur's Court'' while having a lot of Chickification manages to invert a lot of tropes surrounding the two Princesses. Princess Katie is established as a capable swordswoman and horse rider - the tomboy of the pair. [[Faux Action Girl|She is then abruptly kidnapped and must be saved by the heroes]]. We are led to believe that Katie was the toughest of the two sisters while her older sister Princess Sarah was a typical medieval lady. {{spoiler|The end reveals that Sarah was the one who had been dressing as The Black Knight and stealing from the rich to give to the poor. That's right: the ladylike princess turned out to be the badass one afterall}}.

* Sweet Pea in [[Sucker Punch]] goes through most of the story being the stereotypical [[Sour Supporter]], reluctantly joining the team, reminding everyone of how dangerous and stupid the plan is, and eventually calling it quits when things get too dangerous. When it is revealed that the Sour Supporter - which is usually a left of center character at most - is actually the [[Decoy Protagonist|plot central character]] and the [[Heroic Sacrifice]] is made ''for'' her instead of ''by'' her, the trope inverts.

* It's one thing to wake up in a tub of ice missing a kidney. It's another to... well, I'll let ''[[xkcd]]'' [http://xkcd.com/914/ take it from here.]

* ''[[Grey Is...]]'' inverts the [[Hair Contrast Duo]] trope. While Black and White do have contrasting hair colors, it is short tempered Black who has the white hair and introspective White that has black hair
