Cosmic horror is hard to adapt in general I feel, would need either a lot of special effects, or trying to make something that is terrifying without visuals, but you can get a feel that it's powerful.
Though I'm pretty sure there are a decent amount of movies with those, can't think of any though, I'm not a movie buff (Or that knowledgeable about movies in general).
Cap, Black Panther and Spidey do way less snark and they're pretty popular (though Spidey would be popular no matter what lol).
Even if that wasn't the case, if a character is boring because they don't snark, that is a problem with the writing itself.
The problem with an overly quippy sense of humor is how it takes out the seriousness of a situation, and it can get rather annoying when jokes are made about "haha my life is weird", cool, the writer made the most obvious possible joke, and I'm supposed to think that's funny, okay...
If one enjoys that, it's fine, but characters should be different from each other, and quipping just ain't for everyone, people have different sense of humor, if they have any at all.
Yeah I'm thinking stuff is fun so far, it's why I'm still here even lol.
I do have problems with the comic, but Clea's current attitude or the odd contradictions with Faltine stuff ain't that high on the list, the biggest problem right now is the fucking pacing... Which's to be expected with how modern comics love decompressed pacing, but, still...
Funnily enough though, I may have found out where Clea's attitude comes from:

(Doctor Strange#174).
(Doctor Strange#175).
The one from Doctor Strange#174 may have been done to retcon in that Clea has magic powers, 'cause I'm pretty sure before that she either showed nothing, or nothing worth noting, but it also shows that she has little patience for people being assholes lol.
So yeah, one can make a point she went back to old habits, but amplified 'cause of grief and/or being done with villains.
