Discussion Film / TheMartian

I want to challenge the recent entry of Space Isolation Horror for "The Martian". I see where the troper was going with the example, but since Space Isolation Horror is a subtrope of Sci-Fi Horror, I really don't think the tone of this movie fits that particular genre.

While Mark does face many of the trappings of the trope, the tone of the story is not abject, soul-sucking horror, but rather the Determinator who fights to survive after being marooned on the Deserted Island in space. Instead of allowing himself to Go Mad from the Isolation, he faces each challenge with as much humor as he can muster... sometimes falling into despair but continuing to push on through.

Essentially the story is a man vs nature challenge and Mark uses every aspect of scientific knowledge that he can to increase the odds of his survival and is ultimately rescued in the end.

I've contacted the troper who added the example by DM to solicit feedback but have not heard back. I'm opening it to general discussion with the suggestion that entry be removed because it's not an applicable trope for this film.

Fan Disservice: The marks on his back were almost certainly subdermal hematoma caused by a lack of vitamin K, not to be found in a diet of potatoes. Is there any thing to indicate they were radiation burns? I don't want to get into an edit war.

The Precision F Strike moment. For some reason the optional reason box didn't show up in 'Edit History' tab. Didn't he say 'Fucking Mars' and not 'Fuck you, Mars' in the scene where he settles down?
