I've been intrigued by the some of the things I've read recently where the author subverts a trope to create an interesting twist on a story. For example Brandon Sanderson subverts the Superhero trope to create 'Epics' who are the antagonists of his stories.
I want to cover this in an episode of CWT soon, and I'd be grateful to anyone who can give me other examples of where an author has subverted a trope of some kind to create an original perspective for a story.
