So, it strikes me that a disproportionate chunk of the examples in the film section are listed as [[PlayerWithATrope subversions, aversions, deconstructions, and/or uniquely justifiable partial examples]], when the normal definition of the trope [[TropesAreNotBad broad enough for them to qualify as straight examples]].

Our current description might be giving people the impression that it\'s a subversion or aversion if a ManicPixieDreamGirl love story doesn\'t end in death or happily ever after. It isn\'t. \

Our current description might be giving people the impression that it\\\'s a subversion or aversion if a ManicPixieDreamGirl love story doesn\\\'t end in death or happily ever after. It isn\\\'t. \\\"Too free spirited to ever be tied down\\\" is an extremely common MPDG characterisitic, and a MPDG pulling out some \\\"eccentric\\\" reason why she can\\\'t stay with the protagonist in the closing moments of the film is a standard method of wrapping these sorts of stories up -- the girl\\\'s purpose is fulfilled once she\\\'s turned the male protagonist\\\'s life around, so off she goes.
Secondly, it\\\'s not a subversion or aversion just because the MPGD has issues of her own, or learns something from the male protagonist in the end. It\\\'s common for a MPDG to have [[SingleIssuePsychology One Big Issue]] of her own which is confessed somewhere late in the second reel, then forgiven/forgotten/fixed/healed by the power of love; these are [[UnfortunateImplications only treated to a significant amount of screen time if they\\\'re causing problems in the relationship]] though.
