So, a while ago, I commented out a ZCE on the Dial of Destiny page under Deadpan Snarker, which merely read "Helena, as typical for a character played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge". I explained in the edit reason that simply stating the name of the actress doesn't count as context. Very recently, someone uncommented the trope and put this as the description:
"Helena in particular. Indy still has a bit of this as in prior films. Even Marion when she answers that she's there to put away groceries. just like old times."
Now, am I hallucinating or is this an equally contextless example? Wouldn't the correct thing to do be to provide specific instances for each character and explain how it's snarky in relation to the scene, sub-bulleted instead of all on the same line, and without pointless natter on the end? If I am correct, can I re-comment out the trope with an explanation and avoid an edit war?
