Thanks, Bobby, I was gonna do that earlier but dinner with co-workers took priority.
Bump for votes; right now the two GL pics are tied in votes and ratio and the only ones in...well, the green.

Admit it, you got a kick out saying that.
...yeah, I kinda did.
They're still tied.

One more bump for votes...as of right now:
- Lantern Ring set (one frame)◊: 5 (yeas:9 nays:4) 2.25 : 1
- Glove with power gems◊ (current image): 4 (yeas:7 nays:3) 2.33 : 1
- Lantern Ring set (two frames)◊: 2 (yeas:8 nays:6) 1.33 : 1
The rest are in the red.

Alright, time to call this one. The new pic's up, potholed, and tagged; caption or no?
"These rings aint just bling, together they dish out an ass whupin'!" ?
Anyone know the basic powers of each ring? Then we could present it as a math problem, ending with "=All Freakin' Powerful".
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.The full set of Lantern Rings: greater than the sum of its parts.

Green: Flying Brick, Swiss-Army Weapon, The Mario, Sanity Has Advantages. Blue: Super-Empowering. Indigo: Power mimicry. Violet: The Power of Love
Thanks, although I admit that would be wordy.
I like that one.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid....What if someone doesn't understand the image? (I don't, what the hell is going on in the ones being supported, if anything?)
Okay, we can tweak that line.
"Seven superpowered rings: more powerful than the sum of its parts."

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.I'd be fine with that.
I like it but "A full set of..." instead of "Seven..."? Or "A full set of seven..."?
The word "set" shouldn't be changed IMO.
That also. The generic reference instead of proper name gains nothing (?) and loses a lot.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.I prefer "The full set of Lantern Rings: greater than the sum of its parts."
Edit: I think it clarifes that the power rings are of a set relating to each other one way or another. In this case, it's just a name, but the act of having a name is enough to group them enough for the trope to be evoked.

The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.You're right, that is better. I'm good to run with that, objections?
No
