Yeah, I'm getting nothing out of this.

Agreed, it doesn't really illustrate the trope. I think a lampshade is what we need here - something about how bond girls are always the ones who change sides from bad to good?

Motion to pull

Pic doesn't really demonstrate the trope.

Yeah, this would need a comic panel, since it's basically a plot point.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

Pulled after voting and whatnot.

Previous:

Lex Luthor and his five mooks. Guess which one betrays him.

Given that it's currently in TRS, shouldn't we wait for that to finish.

[up] Probably a good idea.

Wait, what on earth is wrong with it? It's perfect for the trope!

A villain - an iconic one at that - is surrounded by underlings, one of whom is female.

[up]The trope is the sheminion pulling a Heel–Face Turn - the image doesn't demonstrate that.

I disagree; while the sheminion pulling the turn is part of the trope so is the contrast with male minions. Therefore it only makes sense if she is visually pictured and contrasted with those same male minions.

It's the most important part of the trope. Simply being The Dark Chick is not enough.

The image itself has nothing to do with the trope, relying on the caption to provide context, and it is technically a spoiler. Definitely should be replaced, if the trope is imageable at all.

Not nearly a good enough singer for the Choir Invisible, and the Basement Room With A Synth Invisible is much less prestigious.
