A Defied Trope happens when a character knows, In-Universe, that a trope is about to happen, either due to being Genre Savvy or because someone is trying to invoke it, and then actively attempts to avert it, subvert it, or invert it. They might succeed or they might fail. The point is that the character is attempting to avoid a straight run of the trope, in-universe. Contrast Invoked Trope, Exploited Trope, Discussed Trope. Not to be confused with a simple Subverted Trope, which is not prompted by any characters. noreallife |

Watchmen: Ozymandias delivers a typical Breaking Speech to the heroes 35 minutes after he'd already completed his Evil Plan. He's not a moron. He also had made sure he drew the heroes all the way down to Antarctica- his Evil Plan goes down in New York- even before doing that. There is Crazy-Prepared, and then there is this. |

In the first episode of Season 5, Buffy stakes Dracula again when he reforms from dust, and then reminds him she's still there when he starts reforming again, prompting him to blow away back to Transylvania. Then in the last episode of Season 5, Giles tries to invoke The Needs of the Many in making the case that it may come to a point where killing Buffy's not-really-sister Dawn is the only way to save the world (failure of which would lead to Dawn's death regardless, as well as everyone else's). Buffy defies the trope, forcing its aversion, by threatening that she would kill anyone who attempted to kill Dawn. Much earlier, in Season 3, Faith expects Willow to try to appeal to her better nature and get her to pull a Heel–Face Turn, clearly intending to pull a Redemption Rejection. She's taken aback when Willow instead gives her a "The Reason You Suck" Speech, telling her point-blank that it's too late for her and she's now nothing but "a big, selfish, worthless waste." |

One of the The Awkward Adventures of Meghan Whimblesby, after she falls into The Lord of the Rings, is when she bathes in a stream. In fear of Outdoor Bath Peeping, Meghan takes a quick bath. She is out, dressed, and walking away from the stream, when Legolas arrives. Meghan mentions her bath, Legolas apologizes, but Meghan laughs. "You didn't get a free show or anything, so we're good." | |

In the Magic Knight Rayearth II anime, Ferio busts into Fuu's in-progress escape from Fahren's ship, being her Love Interest and all. When she starts casting a spell to assist as though she's half of a Battle Couple, Ferio stops her—he wants to do a Rescue Romance instead. He does live up to the Battle Couple trope a few episodes later, when they both fight monsters summoned by Debonair. | |

Girls und Panzer: Kay defies Curb-Stomp Battle in the match between Saunders and Oarai. She chooses not to come at them with all their tanks despite outnumbering them two to one, because she believes it would be unfair, after hearing that one of her subordinates was eavesdropping on Oarai's radio transmissions without her knowledge or approval. In "Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu", Dreaming of a White Christmas gets defied; because Oarai and all other schools are on ships, they can go anywhere for the colder months. As such, they end up just off the coast of Australia, where it's warm enough to wear bikinis and swimwear, much to Saori's chagrin, as she thinks a white Christmas is more romantic. |

Psych: Doing this is what got Mr. Yin (a Serial Killer with a penchant for choosing a detective and forcing him to go through overly-complicated Criminal Mind Games to hopefully prevent yet another death) caught. Shawn Spencer, after a while of getting dragged around by Yin's scheme, decided to quit and toss the cell phone Yin was using to deliver the clues into the ocean. It was a Batman Gambit to piss off Yin and force him (or rather her) to do something stupid. That "something stupid" ended up being her walking up to Shawn with a gun and angrily ranting that he ruined her game, while Shawn's friends hid nearby. | |

Bad Movie Beatdown: When Film Brain learns that M. Bison's plan amounts to an "evil property development scheme", he interrupts the OF COURSE! saying it doesn't deserve that joke. The Nostalgia Critic had attempted to defy (via aversion) that same Running Gag in one of his reviews (the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog). It didn't work; the Running Gag forced itself into the review despite the Critic's attempts to stop it. |

Reconciliation seems to be headed towards Cuckold at first glance; Hanako, after her Bad Ending, has isolated herself from Lilly and Hisao out of guilt for eight years. During this time, Lilly and Hisao have gotten together, and Hanako still has feelings for Hisao. The twist that forces Hanako out of her self-imposed isolation, since she's unable to bring herself to even see either of them, however, is Lilly calling her to inform her of Hisao's death. | |

The Simpsons: A Lesson Learned Too Well is defied in the episode �Moaning Lisa". After Lisa tells Marge that she feels depressed, Marge tells her what her own mother did: shove all of her bad feelings deep inside and show the world a smile. Five seconds later Marge drops Lisa at the school and she sees how Lisa is going to take the lesson, which is to let everybody else step all over her and boss her around with a smile on her face. Marge instantly switches to Mama Bear mode, yanks Lisa back into the car, and tells her to forget what she just told her; Lisa is free to feel however she wants and Marge will be there for her every step of the way. | |

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: On the season 1 finale, Big Bad cyborg John Garrett gets rebuilt and seems prepared for a season 2 comeback, when Phil Coulson promptly shoots him with a BFG. In season 3, when Andrew fears he's about to become Lash permanently, he surrenders himself to S.H.I.E.L.D., defying Never Got to Say Goodbye. Coulson joins in, urging May (who was, in turn, trying to defy a Hope Spot) to talk to him. After they have successfully captured Ward and he refuses to talk to anybody else but Skye, Coulson refuses because he knows Ward will try to Hannibal Lecture her and "fill her head with lies", and only agrees when Skye insists that she can deal with that herself. During the interrogation, every single time Ward tries to so much as say a syllable for anything that isn't an answer to her questions, Skye hits the "off" switch of the intercom and turns to walk away, forcing Ward to draw her attention again so he can continue to answer questions. |

Atop the Fourth Wall: In Linkara's "Extreme Super Christmas Special #1" review, the ghosts from A Christmas Carol show up. Linkara flatly tells them that he does not want to make a Yet Another Christmas Carol nor does he need to (he already loves Christmas and comic books), and tells them to promptly GTFO. In 2021, the ghost of Marley (played by Viga) shows up to attempt this again, but Linkara is not having any of it and shoots her with his Magic Gun. Marley decides Screw This, I'm Outta Here and goes haunts Quinton Reviews, who reluctantly obliges despite already being visited. |

When the greater villain is stopped, Quackerjack asks if this is where they show the greater villain love and kindness, and he vows to mend his evil ways. Neither Quackerjack, nor Darkwing think so. They just beat him down further. | |

Community: Abed's short story in "Horror Fiction in Seven Spooky Steps" is a truly bizarre example: he creates a Rational Fic in which the protagonists, a couple that are being stalked by an escaped Serial Killer, defy every single thing that would make them Slasher Film victims: they were already reluctant to have sex even before hearing about the escaped killer, they instantly call the police from their fully charged cell phones, the police promptly answers the call, and then they arm themselves and then go stand back-to-back in the most defensible part of the cabin to wait for the cops to arrive. The reason why this is a bizarre example is because it's a deconstruction of rationalist fiction — Abed got so focused in defying tropes for logic's sake that he didn't make the story entertaining to anybody but himself (notably, the protagonists never encounter any obstacles, like the killer the story takes a long time to set up). | |

In Django Unchained, as the last member of the Candieland organization still alive and (secretly) the architect of a serious chunk of the pain Django and his wife Broomhilda have suffered, Stephen the head slave tries to Face Death with Dignity. Django instead makes sure he will Face Death with Despair by blowing his kneecaps off and leaving him screaming in agony and shouting Ineffectual Death Threats for the couple of minutes it takes for the dynamite Django set in the Candieland manor to count down. | |

King of the Hill defies A Lesson Learned Too Well. In "Rich Hank, Poor Hank", Bobby mistakenly thinks that his father is rich when he overhears Hank telling Peggy about his $1,000 annual bonus from work but mistakenly gets the idea that Hank makes that much per day. At first, Bobby tries to get his father to spend his money, which backfires when Hank tries to teach Bobby the value of a dollar by showing how much money Bobby spent and suggests Bobby could make money by taking littered cans to the recycling center, but this only reinforces Bobby's misjudgment that Hank is being stingy. Bobby steals Hank's emergency credit card and goes to the mall. After Bobby is caught and he tells Hank he knows he's rich, Hank clarifies Bobby's earlier misconceptions — the $1,000 check was an annual bonus and the strongbox of oil receipts was a collection of receipts what Hank has spent on the truck, such as oil changes. They return all of the items which Bobby had purchased, save for a nonrefundable jet ski. Bobby, feeling bad for the trouble he caused and learning of his family's real income, works hard at his punishment and adopting Hank's attitude towards the value of a hard day's work and an honest dollar. At first, Hank is happy and proud of Bobby, but when they try to sell the jet ski to a rich father buying it for his spoiled son Eric, Hank becomes uncomfortable when he sees that Bobby is too eager to please Eric, who treats him like garbage. This prompts Hank to decide not to sell the jet ski to Eric's father. As Hank and Bobby ride the jet ski to test it, he tells Bobby they're not selling the jet ski, they will sell it in a year and carry it on his credit card until then. The episode ends with Hank and Bobby talking about a responsible way to use a credit card and Hank happy that Bobby learned his lesson about earnest work and not behaving like that spoiled brat. defies Ungrateful Bastard. After Dale offers to help John Redcorn get some of his tribe's land returned to him, he ends his affair with Nancy realizing that it would be an awful way to repay a man he considers to be a friend. |

Kagome Higurashi from Inuyasha openly defies Unrequited Tragic Maiden and Love Makes You Evil. When she's told repeatedly by The Baby that her feelings for Inuyasha are completely one-sided and she's selfish for even thinking he can love her back, that he'll never love her like he loved Kikyou and that she must pull a Face–Heel Turn, she ultimately tells him that yes, she is jealous of Kikyou and she is aware that Kikyou will always be important to Inuyasha... but that said circumstances do NOT invalidate HER own feelings, and no one has right to tell her otherwise. And then she rejects the Baby's FHT offer. | |

The Order of the Stick: Dark lord Tarquin is so Genre Savvy that he hands out guidelines on defying tropes to his guards. They work. Cool Old Guy Julio Scoundrel defies Mentor Occupational Hazard. Much later, Elan does end up seeing Julio again, when he desperately needs something that can blindside his very Genre Savvy father. Moreover, he convinces Julio to come specifically for the privilege of defying the trope in person. Elan the bard explicitly defies the Third-Act Misunderstanding — a staple of many a Rom Com — when reunited with Haley once more, previously having met a girl who had a crush on him before dying. |

Galaxy Quest: Guy is, in essence, a Defied Trope in character form. Guy receives a defiance of his own in the final act of the film: Because he was only a Red Shirt extra in the eponymous show, he spends the whole film believing that his only destiny is to die a horrible death and offers to do a Heroic Sacrifice strictly because he's the most expendable. Kwan instead talks him out of it, convinces him that his role is to be the Plucky Comic Relief, and uses the Protector's teleporter to Summon Bigger Fish on the bad guys. |

In My Hero Academia, the League of Villains attempt to invoke the Rival Turned Evil trope with Bakugo, kidnapping him in order to turn him to their side. They have good reason for thinking this would work, as Bakugo initially seems to be a perfect candidate to corrupt, being a childhood friend-turned-bully of Midoriya, and having grown resentful of Midoriya's recent progress as a hero. Not to mention that Bakugo is seen as such a violent, ill-tempered Jerkass that even the other heroes have doubts that he will remain on their side. However, Bakugo ultimately refuses to join the League, and even accepts his classmates' help in his rescue despite his Inferiority Superiority Complex and Don't You Dare Pity Me! attitude. | |

Sex Education: Bigger Is Better in Bed is defied when Kyle (who bases his advice off of porn) tells Dex that his girlfriend isn't orgasming because he might have a small penis. Otis and Maeve set Dex straight, telling him that penis size isn't the most important factor in satisfying sex. Anwar (who is gay) defies the Tragic AIDS Story: he has seen too many movies where a gay character dies of AIDS, and thus never engages in unprotected sex.

The Scream films are supposedly loaded with this, yet most Horror Tropes in them are usually played straight or lampshaded. One genuine instance is when the second of the two killers is apparently dead at the end of the first film. Randy Meeks says this is the moment when the killer comes back to life for one last scare. The killer promptly does, but Sidney, without flinching, puts a bullet in his head: "Not in my movie." Sidney then goes on to defy Joker Immunity through the rest of the series by killing the "Ghostface" copy-cat-of-the-film as well, usually by Boom, Headshot!. Maybe the concept of the Ghostface will live on, especially with all of the media trying to profit from it, but the killers sure don't. Also used in the second film. A black man leaves town when the bodies start piling up, because he knows "how long brothers last in these movies". He lives. In Scream (2022), after several movies in which the Ghostface killers aimed to obtain Fame Through Infamy and got it (although they didn't lived to enjoy it), which then fed into keeping the "Stab" franchise going and inspire more Ghostfaces; Gale Weathers makes clear that she will do her absolute damnedest to prevent it from happening this time, beginning by writing a tell-all book about this film's spree which will focus only on the victims (including Dewey, Gale's ex-boyfriend) and won't so much as mention the Ghostfaces' name. It didn't work: not only are the Ghostfaces of the next film family members of these Ghostfaces out to get revenge, their first casualties are a couple of copycat Ghostfaces who wanted to begin a spree of their own aiming to kill the survivors of this film and got in the way. It's also eventually revealed that, try as she might, she just couldn't stop herself from writing an article exposing the killers' names anyway. |

In Bob's Burgers episode "The Equestranauts", Bob Belcher defies All for Nothing. When Tina's favorite horse doll is stolen, Bob goes undercover at a convention as a fan of the show the doll is from to get it back. After being caught and almost given an embarrassing tattoo, while getting a small part of it on his rear, he gets the doll back. Tina decides she's too old to play with dolls and puts it away. Not pleased with her decision after everything he went through, Bob quietly, then shouting, orders Tina to continue playing with it, which she does. The same episode also defies Only Smart People May Pass when the man who stole the doll places it in his room's safe as a final act of defiance and says that the code is an incredibly obscure piece of trivia of the show (Bob had to study a lot of it to infiltrate the convention). Bob just calls hotel security and explains what happened, and they open the vault for him. | |

Durin gets quickly emotional at the thought of losing his best friend forever and wants to reveal his secret name to Elrond, only to be stopped before saying a single word. Elrond just simple considers they should save this moment for better times in the future. | |

In Portal 2, the Final Boss defies Boss-Arena Idiocy by studying the recordings of how you defeated the previous boss and deliberately setting up the arena to avoid those same mistakes. The trope is then zig zagged by having the boss make a new set of glaringly obvious mistakes. And taken further at the end: "PART FIVE! BOOBY TRAP THE STALEMATE BUTTON!" Unfortunately for Wheatley, he failed to defy the final trope: Chell opening a portal right under him, with the other side on the surface of the moon. |

In The Incredibles, superhero costume designer Edna Mode doesn't incorporate capes into the costumes she designs, and lists several Cape Snag incidents to explain why. This turns out to be a Chekhov's Gun with a villain. This has long been addressed in actual comics (for one, capes are easily detachable), and the real reason for "no capes" is that the animators didn't want to deal with cape physics and animation over the course of a film. | |

The Sun Will Come Up And The Seasons Will Change defies Cassandra Truth. Mary knows nobody would believe her about the Infinity Train, so she doesn’t even bother trying to tell anybody about it. Instead, she claims that after running away, she survived out in the woods, met Nora and lived in the hut the latter had created for a while, and then when Nora had tried to kill her after finding out that she was autistic she ran out of the woods and decided to go back home. She also told the police what she knew about Nora’s neo-Nazi ideals and her ties with Xander, but didn’t tell them about her Spiteful Suicide as she thought her body would have remained stuck in the Infinity Train’s realm. The story does come under scrutiny between the lack of physical evidence that Mary was at the hut and nobody being able to figure out Nora’s cause of death after her body was returned to Earth. However, as there was no evidence disproving Mary’s testimony and since Nora’s memories gave Mary details about the hut that she would only have known if she had actually seen it, the police decide to just close the cases on Mary and Nora’s disappearances. | |

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides defies Claiming Via Flag. At the climax, when all of the parties have arrived to the Fountain of Youth, the Spanish side has everybody else outgunned and surrounded so a Mêlée à Trois is impossible. Still, Lieutenant Graves tries to put down a British flag and claim the Fountain in the name of the King. A split second after he has finished saying that, the Spaniard puts a bullet in his heart and carries on his assignment to destroy the Fountain in the name of the Church, because the Fountain is pagan sorcery and man should only achieve immortality through God — in his defense, the Fountain works by absorbing a victim's lifeforce and giving it to other people, so he is in fact correct, adding that he wants everybody to take note of Graves' bravery. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: In "The Best Night Ever", the ponies are running away from the chaos they've caused at the Grand Galloping Gala and Rarity drops her glass slipper. Pinkie Pie lampshades the trope of The Girl Who Fits This Slipper and Rarity, who has no interest in meeting Prince Blueblood ever again, screams and crushes the slipper into shards. In "Just for Sidekicks", Spike, the pets of the Mane Six and the Cutie Mark Crusaders have to hide from the Mane Six when they step into their train car. Spike's Growling Gut threatens to expose them, setting up the trope of Laser-Guided Karma for Spike, but Angel defies it by retrieving his last gem which he uses to quiet his stomach. Occurs to a musical number in "Somepony to Watch Over Me," which comes to a screeching mid-word halt when Apple Bloom is reminded that her big sister is en route to her room. |

Valerie — who has carried Jade and Paco out of the temple the fight over the Pan'Ku Box is taking place — not only tells them to Wait Here, but makes sure to quickly phrase her order to make clear Jade and Paco can only stay where they are or move further away from the temple if the place they are in becomes unsafe. Jade spends a few seconds seconds sputtering (then groaning) in annoyance as she tries to find a loophole but can't find it. | |

Edge Master from the Soul Series defies the practice of naming weapons. His philosophy is that it is the soul that makes the warrior, not the weapon. A weapon is a tool, nothing more. | |

In a episode of Hozuki's Coolheadedness, King Enma try to set-up various romantic situations between Hozuki and Maki by creating Contrived Coincidences with the help of the gods. Hozuki successively defies each and every one of them. When he make it so that they so happen to run into each other while both in the human world, he keep his usual stricly professional attitude and stay focused on what he was doing. When she happen to feel dizzy from hunger and nearly collapse on him, before a bug appear to scare her so that she jump at him, he simply suggest that she get inside a café to rest. And when she is about to literally fall right into his arms from a stair, instead of catching her, he use one hand to deflect her fall so that she safely land sitting on the ground. | |

In Knights of Buena Vista, Adriana's Player Character is so Min-Maxed out that she can cause the apocalypse if certain conditions are met. The Game Master avoids those conditions by banning one of them from the campaign (specifically gummi worms). | |

South Park: Attempted, but failed in "Two Days Before The Day After Tomorrow". Stan wants to just confess what they did to avoid the usual antics, and it doesn't work, instead turning into an I Am Spartacus moment. Done successfully in "Krazy Kripples". The main characters agree that they don't want to have any part in the episode's plot. They actually don't (letting secondary characters run the episode), and agree at the end that they're glad that they didn't get involved. In "Woodland Critter Christmas", Stan tries to defy a Gilligan Cut by arguing with the narrator. He fails. In "Pandemic" and "Pandemic 2: The Startling", Craig is dragged along on the boy's adventure, and gets stranded with them in Peru. They find ancient ruins depicting Craig in some kind of prophecy, but he says he doesn't care, and the boys spend the next several minutes in a montage walking with Craig as he just declares over and over that he wants nothing to do with it. Ultimately subverted when he again tries to walk away from the villain, and steps on a panel that causes him to shoot Eye Beams at it while he does nothing but comment in a deadpan tone. |

Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun defies Fake Relationship in one issue. Mikoshiba explains to Sakura that he needs a fake girlfriend in order to ward off a suitor. Both of them are very familiar with romance stories, and thus independently realize that the flow of the conversation will lead to them fake-dating (either by Sakura offering or Mikoshiba asking), which neither of them want to do, so they both trail off...and get offended that the other didn't offer/ask. Mikoshiba winds up bringing Seo, who is more or less convincing. | |

Firefly After being defeated, The Dragon declares We Will Meet Again. Mal promptly kicks him into an engine intake. When Mal and Wash are captured by Niska, Zoe goes to rescue them, but Niska is in the mood for a Sadistic Choice. Which is promptly short-circuited when Zoe, before Niska can even finish his offer, immediately chooses Wash. When Mal fought Niska's new Dragon, Zoe tells the crew to stand back because This Is Something He's Got to Do Himself. Mal, who's very badly injured and exhausted (and even died during torture at one point), knowing what poor shape he's in and how much he's struggling, immediately yells that it really isn't, allowing the gang to open fire on his opponent, taking him down and saving Mal's life. When Mal and Zoe are being held for questioning by local authorities, Jayne makes a bid for power, knowing the rest of the gang don't really have the ability to control him without Mal and Zoe there. However, prior to his take-over bid, he was ranting about leaving those idiots behind instead of rescuing them while Simon was patching up his injuries. Guessing that Jayne was serious about taking over, that no-one would be able to control him and that he wouldn't want to rescue Mal and Zoe, Simon pre-empts Jayne's Appeal to Force moment by secretly injecting him with a general anaesthetic instead of a painkiller. When Jayne attempts to take control of the ship, he keels over unconscious instead. The rest of the crew (including Mal and Zoe when they learn what happened) are immensely relieved by Simon's foresight. |

Without Warning (1994) defies Apocalyptic Gag Order. When the government detects a wave of meteors en route to three of the world's biggest capitals (the work of aliens that are performing First Contact and got irate when mankind decided to defend itself) and decides to keep quiet while they prepare a strategy to intercept them, The Worm Guy who theorized it's first contact immediately calls it quits, declares what is going on to the reporters broadcasting live, and leaves to spend what he believes are his (and mankind's) final hours with his family (which turned out to be a very accurate prediction). | |

Necessary to Win Kana defies "The Reason You Suck" Speech against Ceylon, the outgoing commander of St. Gloriana. Despite despising Ceylon, Kana simply tells Ceylon that since she'll be gone soon, she's not worth the speech, which has a similar effect. Hiroe defies You Have Failed Me, after losing to Black Forest. Maho defies Always Save the Girl and Psycho Supporter. While she is determined to live up to her mother's expectations for being the Nishizumi heiress so that Miho will not have to, she also does not want to do anything that Miho would not approve of, feeling guilty when she unwittingly shoots an enemy tank that was on her way to rescue some of her teammates. Teru defies "Well Done, Son" Guy, saying that it's almost impossible to live your life solely for someone else's approval. |

In Boys do Tankary?, surprisingly enough, the Gary Stu main characters defy Curb-Stomp Battle by holding back when they could have almost instantly defeated Darjeeling's forces (who won against Miho in a practice game in canon), so that they could see what Miho and the others could do, and so that they wouldn't end up relying on the boys. | |

Evil Dead: Hail to the King was a straight-up Resident Evil clone with an Evil Dead look, including the puzzles (though, thankfully, most were much less obtuse and nonsensical than RE). However, in the latter part of the game, Ash, in a cutscene, reads the plaque on a door. After noting the overly complicated puzzle mechanism required to open it, and just shoots the door open with his boomstick. | |

Riker is ordered to be the prosecutor in a hearing to determine whether or not Data will be considered Just a Machine by the Federation and taken away to be disassembled for study, and when Riker obviously hesitates about doing that because Data is his friend, he is told that if he refuses or accepts but the judge suspects that he is doing a sub-par performance because of said friendship, she will immediately pass the sentence that Data is a non-sentient machine. | |
