That is what's so fun about rewatching shows you use to watch as a kid, is you can go back as an adult and pick out the subversions.
You can, but how do you know for sure that it is actually 'subversion' and that you're not being like the feminists seeing 'sexism' where non existed, or at the very least was intended?
If I asked you to write 10 scripts, and you had to struggle to create some story, I'm sure I could point to some elements in any, simply because you wanted to come up with an interesting story/character. For example, can you do Aladdin without the princess not wanting to marry? Maybe. It might be 'subverison', but then again, it might not be.
(Naturally, I'm not playing devil's advocate for all of it. Some of it is as you say.)
