I know the context for the image, but I shouldn't have to to relate it to the trope.

You just kinda hate Hiamdaisy don't you?

Anyways... Kinda agree on this one. Not going to pull till something else comes up.

Please.

Nah, I'm actually a fan, but I saw the list on the page and thought "waitaminute, if people are keeping score, there are probably some bad images in there."

There were a lot fewer than I expected, actually.

This doesn't illustrate the trope at all. Not going to bother with a pull, though. If the fans are keeping score, I imagine they'll fight it until we find a better picture.

We should TRS this for a rename, I think, too. Name doesn't make any sense...

Agree that it's bad.

Vote to pull.

If fans start fighting to keep bad images to pimp their favorite work, that's when the ban hammer gets another feast.

Fight smart, not fair.

Supporting motion to pull.

I always feel weird saying that when I'm the OP, but I figure it's worth putting it after the actual motion.

I can kinda see how the current pic fits, so I'll say keep it until we find something better.

What fans are even fighting? Are there even fans here?

Please.

+1 to pull.

Nothing show that the guy in the first panel has any relation to Snake and not just taunts him with something.

Ideas (on anime myopia, admittedly):
Rezo looking holy and priesty and then looking evil.
Aizen playing good captain to Momo and then stabbing her.

Goblins also work:
1st row: Last two panels from here
2nd row:panel two plus 1-2 panels of growing disillusionment
3rd row: the window throw.

[up] That's a great example, but I'm not sure how well the panel combination would resize for our use.

Somebody suggested that fans would put up a fight if their entry pimping was challenged.

I'll suggest they can suck a ban, as you mentioned before.

^^ That's no reason to keep bad images.

Supporting pull. I find the comic funny, but it seems to be shoved into a lot of contexts that it doesn't really work for.

If it made it clear that she was "The Boss" the pic would be fine.

[up] I dont know it seems a little off for the trope he just seems to hate fans while this is more Face–Heel Turn then Rage Aganst The Mentor type thing.

"hate fans"?
Where is that? They are chilling and drinking and then a fan goes Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil and throws him through a window.

[up][up] That character is Min Max's idol and hero and the person he wants to be when he gets more XP. At least until he learns that he's a horrible monster. It's this trope, that image just isn't the best at showing it.

I think it shows it very well.

Tweaked. Added the "Later that evening..."

[up] Nice, although I'd say afternoon instead of evening since it's broad daylight.

I'll remake that tweak from a lossless version later smile
And yes, day/afternoon would be better.

Fine by me. I really like that set of panels.

Ok now I get it, however man the image is huge.

It's really an excellent example, but as was stated, it is HUEG, and I don't see any way to shrink it without losing legibility.

This trope requires a lot of factors: the previous adoration, the reveal and the reaction. HUEG > no image, I think. But if anybody has better ideas, present them.
