So I was looking through some tropes I launched through YKTTW, and one of them was Perspective Reversal, where someone in the discussion page was saying the title is too similar to Perspective Flip.

However, I think the problem is with flip, rather than with reversal, as "perspective reversal" very intuitively indicates a reversal of perspectives, but I don't see much logical connection between "perspective flip" and "story retold from opposite perspective."

I'd say something more descriptive, like "Same Story, Opposite Viewpoint" or some other variant of it, would be preferable.

Perspective Flip is pretty healthy and I don't think it's misused - I'd rather change Perspective Reversal to Reversed Opinion or whatever.
