Good opportunity for a fun page picture: Every Episode Ending

This has no picture, but I thought one could easily be put up as so many shows have memorable ending credits, events, or pictures. My personal vote is this◊ because I'm a fan, but it may not be everyone's cup of tea. Thoughts?

...And how does that show every episode ends like that?

That's the beauty of it, it doesn't really need to. The trope itself is very obvious, no explanation needed; it's the perfect place to have a pic that illustrates the trope instead of explaining it. Perhaps the looney tunes ending image would be a better bet, but my point is you're not going to find an image that shows that every episode ends that way, why not have a good image anyway?

Man we should probably split off those music starts up before the credits start thing that is a long list of anime examples there and its pretty different from the other stuff.

Well anyway I dont see how the suggested image would work for this, we would need many similar panels for this.

...You really need to read our guidelines on what makes a good image.

Calm down. I know what makes a good image; it's not that complicated. I was suggesting that in this case a slightly vaguer image would work just fine, if that's not true than so be it, but no need to be patronizing.

Your proposed image shows something that is, in context, an example. And it shows that it's the ending. That's all. It doesn't show anything else about the trope, including that it's "every episode". In terms of the Sliding Scale Of Image Pertinence, it's Pretty Much JAFAAC, and that's no good.

I'm not being intentionally patronizing, but the mindset that you seem to be approaching all this with is simply wrong. The image should always show the trope. Not just something that is technically an example of the trope if you know anything about it, but the trope. The only exception is Visual Pun type things on a trope that's otherwise unpicturable.

Well again, as I said in the original post, the example I gave is one I like because it's iconic if you have seen the show, not necessarily the one I recommend for the page. And I understand your points, but it seems like with this concept it would benefit from having a simple picture to illustrate the trope.

What I was suggesting, admittedly in not the best possible wording, was that the picture would be good if it could show people what the trope is about by giving an example (possibly with a caption that would explain the 'every episode' part) which would be recognizable. For example, you don't think this pic◊ helps illustrate the trope? Sure, it doesn't show "every episode" but a caption (and most readers common knowledge) would solve that.

So yeah, I understand you were not trying to be patronizing and that I didn't work my second post very well, but my suggestion that we have some sort of pic I think still has potential.

See, that's the problem. It's not just your example that's subject to Fan Myopia. It's every example. There is no way to have a picture that can portray this trope without having to know the context. No image is better than a bad image, or in this case an essentially worthless image.

The only way I can even think of doing this is to take as many "That's All Folks!" screenshots as possible and put them in a collage, since I think the coloring is different each time. Even then, that's barely passable. I'm voting Unpicturable.

The Merrie Melodies one was blue, I think.

Though "That's all, folks" has the advantage of being definitely end-looking.

So was "see you, space cowboy" in the OP's suggestion. The problem is showing the Every Episode part, not the Ending part.

We would need a lampshaded image for this, in order to avoid JAFAAC/Fan Myopia

Maybe that image, tiled ad nauseam, each one captioned "episode 1," "episode 2," etc?

I can't help but think any sort of collage (which would be the only way to do it) would be large and obnoxious.

I want to say this is unpicturable, but I also want to keep an open mind to anything that could possibly work.

Well, it could work with just the first four, then "and so on..." at the bottom.

A four panel pic would work, just got to make sure that there are minor variations in each panel though.

Clock is set.

Clock's up; locking for inactivity/lack of consensus. No action is to be taken based on this thread.
