In need of an image!: Obvious Judas

There are several ways which this could be done, but I wanted to see what other people thought before rushing into anything. My first idea was the picture of Naruto with Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi, with the text, "Goofy and easily excitable protagonist? Check. Dorky love interest? Check. Pretty boy out for revenge for his clan's death? Wait a minute..."

A bit too long for the caption, which is why I'm opening this discussion. So, what do you guys think should be done?

FYI: don't put a spoiler up. Spoilers can't be unseen, and it's not below the "here there be spoilers" line.

Also, the general guidelines for images are on How To Pick A Good Image. "This character is an example" pictures (and why we don't like them) are on Just A Face And A Caption.

the Sasuke thing can hardly be called a spoiler, Naruto began in 1999 and Sasuke's Face–Heel Turn was one of the first major plot twists. And the poster was giving no details on the matter (such as Moral Event Horizon or something like that) to make it more of an actual spoiler.

We don't really keep track of when something started for spoiler purposes.

Any image is a spoiler really, this is a YMMV Spoiler Trope.

Going to say no image.

Agreed with both.

One I could think of that wasn't really a spoiler:

The Transformers wiki (who if any other other wiki deserved a page here, it'd be them) has an image of the Original Thirteen Primes◊, with The Fallen in his usual state of perpetually on FIRE, and right under the angry guy.

But, it's a pretty wide picture, so it might not work.

The TF pic is very big indeed and the fire guy is off to the side.

Also, I think that theoretically the image could be from a back story or some minor stuff so that it's spoilerificness could be tolerated.

For example, that page (lower panel, with the last speech bubble) counts as minor stuff. Though the gorilla may be distracting...

^Like it. That's not a spoiler, as it's a gag from a b-plot, as well as being the first thing we see of that character.

That could work, provided it looks good at wiki size.

Eh, random gorillas don't effect people as much anymore. Now bald potty-emergency stage hand Guy Fawkes? he looks like a traitor. I agree with above.

Question: Would Judas be JAFAAC?

Yep.

I could think of a discussed example, the third panel here. Not including that text box at the top.

That's not bad, but I think I like the Dr McNinja pic a little better.

Judas doesn't have an even vaguely agreed-upon appearance, let alone one that's so well known we can reasonably expect people to recognize him on site. However, I think there might theoretically be images of Judas that work, since I seem to recall hearing that in Medieval and Renaissance art there was a tendency to portray Judas as Obviously Evil while all the other apostles look serene and beatific.

That said, I'm good with the Doctor McNinja image and don't see the point in chasing down hypothetical examples when there's a perfectly good one already suggested.

Cropped down to four dudes and a gorilla ass.

That works.

The following is a statement I didn't think I'd ever say:

Man, that would be perfect if not for the gorilla ass.

If you crop out the guy on the far left, you can't really tell it's a gorilla ass. Plus, it would fit a little better.

I don't think the gorilla ass really detracts from the image. It's just an odd detail.

What if you cropped the bottom to just above knee-length for the creepy character? Then the gorilla butt would just look like a furry boulder.

The knees kind of make the pose, though. And the all black clothing.

All three in a gallery.

I've found what I feel are a few good images of the actual Judas:

• One.◊
• Two.◊
• Three◊

Only in the second one can I figure out which one's Judas, and only because I know it's a picture of Judas.

Seconded. It's a decent option though.

Scar?◊ (another one)◊

Iago?◊
