[up][up][up][up][up] Can we please put this on the Image Links-page, then? That's a way too funny Visual Pun, it has to be somewhere on this wiki grin

[up][up] That's Fan Myopia. I don't think there's any visible moment where she defrosts.

I don't think we have to worry about an "ice queen" inside a microwave being taken for anything other than a visual pun.

I'd prefer it to no image.

[up]If you were referring to my post, I said that the picture for Ice Queen is horrible. On that trope, there is a very real chance that someone might think it's about snobby women with ice-based powers.

This implies, quite correctly, that my mind is dark and damp and full of tiny translucent fish.

I'd vote for that shot of Emma Frost shedding a tear after Kitty's heroic sacrifice in Giant Sized Astonishing X-Men 1.

[up]That would just show a character crying. There is nothing to indicate an ice queen is doing this. Not to mention many fans find the ice queen thing major Character Derailment in the first place.

How many times have we been over this? Besides, I find it funny that the four people who support the old image look like sockpuppet accounts.

The old image wasn't terrible. Not deserving of a zap, certainly.

Unless there's dialogue on the image saying "And her heart grew three sizes that day!" I'm not sure if you're going to find a better one.

I kinda thought the old pic was okay. And only one of those other supporters look like a sockpuppet.

Please.

I don't find it hard to believe that the picture was horrible since this is one of those things that you can't exactly find a clear picture for.

Having a picture of early inner moka and one when she is less cold and serious would work. It more comes down to the caption. example could be a estimate of how long it took for her to even defrost.

Unless someone wants to appeal directly to Eddie, I think the pic is gone. Have any others besides the joke pic been suggested?

What do we need in a before/after, just the character being a cold bitch and then the character being nice and happy?

Because I could easily manage that with a certain someone in my avatar.

I personally liked the old one myself. I'm 100% unfamiliar with the series it's from and I was able to understand it with just one look.

The first one of those doesn't say icy to me. It just looks like a bland neutral face.

Here's a before and after I'd love to use:

Frosty: [1] [2] [3] [4]

Not so frosty: [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]

The fourth looks kinda icy, I don't think the other three works. Any of the blushing ones from the defrosting period can work.

Not that convinced though.

[up][up][up] Of the "frosty" pics, the only one I'd say qualifies is #4.

[up] This and even 4 is iffy. She looks more bored than icy.

No idea why you would think any of those work. I guess you would have to be familiar with the character.

[up] That would be my take, but it's borderline enough that I'd prefer something else...I haven't really cared for anything suggested so far.
