Cliche and stereotypes is fun. The most endearing and timeless characters are cliche and stereotypes.

The "break expectations" angle is disasterous.

Men want a badass, no fucks given, fuck pretty girls and save the day handsome dude. Women want the same thing. Instead men wants to be james bond and women want to be the women james bond fucks.
