To quote Deboss from the last thread:

Ignored Enemy could probably use a better image. I can see a dude clutching his head in the foreground and two people talking in the back ground. Any suggestions?

Current With caption: Er, can you guys hold off on the relationship issues until after you've dealt with crazy wrench boy over here?

This is still a signature.

Wait, what?

I distinctly remember that image being brought up in another thread on this trope, and it was shot down since it's hard to tell what's going on. What the hell is it doing on the page?

There was an earlier thread about this, with considerable (though not unanimous) support for the Power Rangers image therein.

Since the other thread was locked and this is the one that's hooked, I'll go ahead and post this suggestion.

Uh, guys? The dude with the guns?

I had no idea those were guns until I scrolled down enough to read the caption. Is there a panel from before that one that establishes what's going on a bit more clearly?

Okay, that makes those things in his hands make more sense. Maybe use the Deadpool/Logan pic on the page and link that pic in the "The dude with the guns?!" part of the caption?

I can barely tell that that other guy is holding guns, and there's no indication that he's an enemy. I just see two guys arguing while another guy stands beside them.

Yeah, he doesn't look like he's an enemy. He just looks like he's standing around.

...which is the whole point of putting the link to the establishing shot in the caption. I'll admit, it's crude, but so far that's what we've got to work with. Well, that and The Pope's suggestion, but it took me until just a second ago to figure out what was going on in that last panel, so that's a big strike on that one for me.

Why put the link to the establishing shot in the caption rather than, say, putting it or a cropped version in the image?

You shouldn't have to link to a different page to understand the image.

We could do a collage; I'd be worried about size and/or legibility issues depending on if they have to be resized.

Bump...I still like Deboss' suggestion from post 11, but this thread's been dead for a while so if we want to just lock it, that's fine too.

Why not use the image that the page quote was taken from, and get a different page quote?

Clock's up; locking for inactivity/lack of consensus. No further action is to be taken based on this thread.
