If we go with the "point of no return" concept early into the hero's journey, parts of the trope description have to be cut/rewritten and examples be removed where talk comes to swallowing or death/rebirth situations which happens later according to the timeline on The Hero's Journey.

Okay, move done, misuse on page handled for the most part, and page indexed. Here are some wicks to go through.

Again, I think the problem with Campbellian concepts is that they're not nearly as universal as Campbell or his followers seem to think them to be. Even though it's part of Campbell's definition, that the protagonist "would appear to have died" at this point seems downright rare. I'd try to broaden this trope's focus to not focus so much on heroic archetypes, and make it the point in any type of story where it becomes obvious that the protagonist has wandered too far to turn back, even if they might suddenly wish they could do that.
