Eeeeeeh...it's alright, but just alright, so I'll say Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

I think we could just add a crop of the back to the future poster where they are both posed like Fox.

Two panel is good, would like the logo and year of each there but that is probably going to have to be the caption

I like the two panel idea. Did he have the same pose/dialogue for Back To Thge Future? If so, that can work.

Only Fox kept his pose. And his position is shifted from left to right.

I find it bothersome, but that's a relative thing.

Will it be okay if we focus it only on Fox? If so, I'll cook up something some time today.

Very good! Now, we only need to produce the quotes for each panel in the caption.

I vote keep same caption, but pothole both Back To The Future and Spin City in the caption, no link from the image.

The poster from the first BTTF only has Fox in that pose (the second film adds Doc, and the third film adds Doc's girlfriend). I'm all in favor of the two-pic combination, but using the first BTTF poster would probably be better.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

I like the pic, but I'd like to see a version that uses the first BTTF pic for comparison.

I think that is extra-good because it is a double Actor Allusion. If Christopher Lloyd isn't in one of the frames, we may as well use something more striking, instead of a weaker version of that.

Swap that?

The Back to the Future 1 poster (etc) only has Marty on it.

Agree with 9, with the same caption that's already there.

I'm gonna go ahead and make the call on this one. The pic is up and tagged; how's the caption?

Also, this is a trope with subpages; since it's a two-medium pic, I'm fine with leaving it on the page...if we want to do pics on the subpages, we can do them for allusions within the same medium if we can.
