Um, wasn't that the whole point of Cabin in the Woods?

I mean, it was full of tropes for the exact purpose of being full of tropes.

I think Whedon thought he was being clever with those tropes, but really it relied on not guessing the twist and it wasn't even a clever or original twist.

But... he OPENED with the twist.

Not much of a twist, to be honest.

Cabin in the Woods suffers from the fact that Whedon thinks merely pointing out that they're using tropes is enough cleverness for one film. No need to move beyond them, and what little subverting of the tropes that takes place is a "twist" you see coming from miles away. Yet people still think it's brilliant, which makes it a pretty standard Whedon project.
