And the Stylistic Suck just gets in the way, while most examples are being serious.

Is the legs-on-fire kind of Kung-Fu Wizard?

[up]1. Are you claiming that trope mutually exclusive with this one?

2. Even if he set his legs on fire, his legs are on fire, and he clearly doesn't care.

I am not making any claim whatsoever, it's a question.

[up]Oh. Well I looked it up, and it's about actually being a wizard who knows martial arts. That picture is more Supernatural Martial Arts, which would be a Sub-Trope of this.

  • 8 for Kung Pow. -3 for all those on the #2 spot

The lead grows.

Just added another vote for the leader - next option was way too fantastical for an Artistic License stuff. btw, I wonder how large the crowner quorum is.

I believe that varies but in general the minimum is "10 votes". If anyone knows better please correct me.

Stability is usually the relevant criterion, not vote count.

There's no set criteria...I weigh both votes and ratio when deciding on when to call a crowner.

There is also a thing about not calling crowner after just a couple days, to see when they stabilize.

Not likely to change here, but this is just to be sure.

I think it's pretty obvious that the Kung Pow pic's gonna win. How do we want to caption it?

I put "Don't know what seems more painful. Doing that kick or receiving it." when I suggested it.

A few suggestions: "He's... limber." "At least he doesn't have to bend over backwards for his martial arts." "I get a kick from seeing this." "What's unrealistic about that?" "The Chosen One gives his opponent a leg up."

[edit] I have line breaks before each suggestion; they appear in the edit box, but not on the page. Does anyone know why this is? :/

Crowner for the captions, or just run without one?
