This might be better debated in the Removing complaining, bashing and other negativity from the wiki thread.

Maybe it's because I'm tired, but I don't really understand what the rewrite is trying to say?

^ I'm moving the discussion to the forum, I'll reword a bit the entry there.

V Idem, I'm taking notice of your input.

Both examples are weaselly worded. "The issue being that most assumed ..." is stating facts not in evidence. Also we have "...the character could more likely represent..." which is weasel wording and highly speculative. If we had Word of God stating who the character is supposed to be, that would be one thing, instead the example seems to be indulging in some mass assumptions and guessing. Personally I'd cut the whole thing, and move the fan reactions to a more appropriate trope.

Also, the word you want is "predictably" not "predictively".
