Draped on a chair launched as Slouch of Villainy: From YKTTW
Working Title: Draped on a chair: From YKTTW
Lale: Should be Slouch of Villainy.
Earnest: Well, that was embarrassing.
Meiriona: I demand the return of Jareth as the image! His slouch is far more fitting the trope description visually.
Earnest: His image is still in the directory, too, so there would be no trouble uploading. So lets leave this to the Troperocracy to the decide: All in favor of restoring Jareth, say "Yea!" all against changing the iamge, say "Nay!".
Bob: I think we should use the Lord Marshal from The Chronicles of Riddick instead. He has a perfect slouch, but I haven't been able to find a good screencap of it yet.
Later: Okay, this is the only screencap I've found so far. If noone can find a better one, then I think should go with Jareth. So "Yea!".
Earnest: Okie doke, here's the Frozen Throne image and caption for posterity.
Roland: I hail the Frozen Throne image. It's both appropriate -and- more badass.
That Other 1 Dude: Another for the Lich King, largely because it's a much clearer picture.
Bob: These aren't really "slouching". Do we have a Sitting On Throne With Good Posture article?
- Performed by the Lich King Arthas in the final cinematic of Warcraft 3 after his endgame succeeded magnificently. Extra points for a truly awe-inspiring location.
- Possibly the most badass Slouch of Villainy ever: that of Lich King Arthas at the end of Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne.
- Disputed, as Kratos does this when he assumes the throne of the God of War.
Kilyle: Chris Hart talks about the distinction between Hero posture and Villain posture in one of his "how to draw super heroes and villains" books (that might be the exact title, I forget). He points out that Heroes have confidence and have nothing to hide; they stand upright and secure, well balanced. While Villains are beset with inner turmoil and constantly trying to protect themselves, mistrusting the world. This even applies when they turn to react to some surprise or threat - the Hero turns with a straightening-up motion, ready to face whatever it is, whereas the Villain turns in a bowed-over fashion, already protecting his middle. Oh, and he even goes on to show the change from a Granola Girl Heroine to a super-villainess.
...anyway, I think this info could improve this page, but I'm not really sure where to put it (as an example, which section; perhaps work it into the main description?), so I'll leave that task to someone else.
