Is Battle Chant as subtrope of Crowd Chant?

Watch the first 10 seconds of this clip from Avengers: Infinity War. There are soldiers chanting a Battle Chant. Now, there is dispute over the fact that this scene could also fit under Crowd Chant since there is obviously a crowd chanting. I would argue that Battle Chant is written as a subtrope of Crowd Chant and as such it would not be correct to list the example for both tropes on the work page. What is your take on this?

I agree with that. Battle Chant is about an army, and an army by definition is a crowd, and that's really the only thing that differs (well, including the context of what it being an army means).

And yes, you should only use the subtrope. (Unless there's a nearby crowd that's not part of the army...)

Would it then be correct to label Battle Chant as a subtrope of Crowd Chant on the former trope page?
