Just an androgynous figure keeling over.: Fighting From The Inside

Without the caption I can't tell if that's a guy or a girl. The face in the background doesn't help.

It doesn't matter if it's a guy or girl. That said, I agree that it's not a particularly good image.

Motion to pull image.

Image doesn't work without context.

Seconded for the same reason.

Eh, I think I can get the trope out of it. That looks like what a character doing this trope is probably going to look like. Can't really see what knowledge I'd need to have of the work to get that. I oppose the pull.

(Why does it matter whether or not we can tell if it's a guy or a girl? )

Yeah, but I bet you actually watched the show. Most of us didn't, and the image has no context. Like I said, just some person doubling over while there's a translucent floating head. How does that demonstrate when someone is battling possession from within their own mind?

Eh, they share the same hairstyle. Still need a better pic.

Support for pulling

And yes, why does the gender even matter?

I get the idea behind the pic - the floating head is the person in her mind, I think. Not such good execution, though. GIS turns up tons of "Mind Control" MTG cards, none of them useful.

No, I don't know what that show is.

That guy looks like he's struggling to move. That plus floating head behind him to indicate mental influence illustrates the trope adequately, I think. Doesn't seem like any context is needed.

But it looks more like he's suffering from an attack to his mind when you put it that way.

Shun is the guy whose body is being possessed and whose head is floating on back. If I'm not mistaken that's the scene where he retakes control of his arm and throttles Hades to buy his brother a kill shot.

Poor Shun, this happens to him all the time. What's really hilarious is that getting possessed by Hades, lord of the underworld and going through an Evil Makeover and wearing honking black armor still isn't enough to avoid the confusion. His original armor (patterned after constellation of Andromeda (herself a female mythological figure) even had boobs, which didn't help matters, but that's beside the point.

That explains a lot, but like I said, it just looks he has a migraine. Plus your explanation carries all the weight of why the picture is relevant, it doesn't speak for itself.

Does this one◊ work? Maybe it would be better in some kind of Holding Yourself Hostage trope.

Another one◊ from that series.

Not really...

And Fast Eddie pulled the pic. So for reference:

I figured that would happen eventually.

The first one might work as a placeholder.

Bump.

I like both X Men pics.

I'm not sure if the first X Men pic works, but it's better than the second by a long shot.

Clock is set.

I vote for the first X-Men image.

The clock's up and we need to wrap this; any serious objections to the first X Men pic?

Hearing no support one way or the other, let's just wrap this up and move on.
