The main one is the image from Guy Double Target but in the Film folder there's also one of Elsa from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Which one do you guys want to keep?

I have never seen an image right in the middle of a image folder before. We could put that image on Image Links.

I think neither is a good image. The first image looks like she's powering up to attack someone in revenge for stealing her jewels; the second doesn't show anyone is dying.

I'd say pull 'em both, and brainstorm for a new image.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

I pulled them both.

Might this yield up a good image? (It's from the Don Rosa story "The Money Pit".)

[up] Not from that particular pic...even at full size, it's too dark and too unfocused.

The initial pic is showing her being electrocuted. I don't see how that would look like a power up, considering she's shown being shocked.

BTW, two images turns out to not automatically be a problem. Mods in the past have okay'ed it, especially if the total size is still under 200kb.

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

I know. My point on that still stands.

Would the Money Pit story cover be better?

This trope is not dying by money. It's deserving your death because you are being materialistic or greedy. That's at least what I attempted to show in the old picture.

[up][up]This one is good. It's more literal(/symbolic) and self-explanatory

This trope is not that though. Donald doesn't die, and again it's NOT that the money itself kills you. It's that greed causes death.

What about the mall siege in Land of the Dead?

That's a bit broad to show in just a picture or two.

I have no idea why we had to remove the one in the main page. You could see quite well she was dying from being greedy. Of course, it might not be the MOST clear image...

Perhaps I could add subtitles of the "Evacuate! Evacuate!" alarm that was blaring during that scene.

Bump. (Still need image.)

Suggestion One

Suggestion Two

One is problematic in that you need to know What Happens Nextâ„¢ to fully understand it.

Two, of course, is Black and White and needs a resize. And you still kinda need to know the film.

In both cases you would need to know what happens to that guy.
