What are some of the tropes typical in your genre? Do you use them?
I love playing with them. That's the point of tropes. They exist in a genre for a reason. You can play to them or deliberately ignore them. Either way their presence or absence is obvious. If the knight doesn't slay the dragon, there's still a dragon. Still a knight. Still a princess. Have fun with that.
