Possibly NSFW?: Bread Eggs Breaded Eggs

Oh I know. I was kind of making a joke.

I wasn't very hot on this image when it was originally selected, but I don't remember any suggestions that were better than so-so. I'm certainly open to alternatives. In particular, I'd be interested in something a little more graphical.

I actually think the current image is great. It's usually a dialogue joke anyway, not a visual one.

Ohhhhh.

I guess I'll put the Hiimdaisy one as a Image Link on Mix-and-Match Weapon.

That's a much better place for it.

As the main image?

Nah, the main image is better. That one can stay on image links.

I think this was another case of fixing what wasn't broke. The old image was an example that showed the trope well enough, "Bu T i Do N't Li Ke It!" so it was changed. What, better on Mix and Match weapon? Never mind that page already has a picture and it still fit.

Oh ok.

If something is technically one trope but mainly a different one, it is misleading to put it on the first.

Precisely. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Unless, of course, it doesn't follow the trope TO THE LETTER! This is like returning your toaster because the bread doesn't pop up at THE EXACT PERFECT SPEED.

Or because, you know, the old image showed Mix-and-Match Weapon more than it did this trope and we don't want people to get confused by the image and start putting bad examples on the page...

I'm good to lock this and move on, unless someone's got another suggestion they want to bring to the table.

Do it.

Lock it.

Go on ahead. I won't be winning more support any time soon.

How would they get confused just because it showed a mix and match weapon? It also showed this trope too. Rhino Rampage also demonstrates Horse of a Different Color but the page isn't filled with examples of riding rhinos regardless of whether or not they are rhinos doing any damage.

Why does image picking run on Viewers Are Morons? Sometimes they are but let them prove it first, it's not as if the image was about combining matrices and vertices.

Um "straw man argument" means exaggerating the opposing claim. It's not all or nothing, perfect or terrible, understanding or confusion, completely one trope or equally two.

The older image is not as good as the newer one.

Exactly. We basically have a decision between the old image, which demonstrates two separate trope in a way that makes it potentially confusing, and the new image, which only illustrates the trope it's supposed to be illustrating with no extra confusing elements.

Snake's "Knifegun" wasn't even a Mix-and-Match Weapon at all. It's him holding one in each hand and putting them close to each other.

His train of thought does fit this trope, and in like 77% fewer words.

Wait, I'm confused now. So was the Hiimdaisy image good for M&MW Image Links or not?

Not at all. It's not a weapon that is two weapons.

It's Snake holding a gun in one hand, and a knife in the other, and holding them close to each other. The pose is the "knifegun".

Oh.

So... um.

The trope is three (+?) objects. That is two: a knife and a gun. There isn't a third object that is a "knifegun", it is a combination of the first two objects. This trope isn't just about combining words.

Also, what is the point of this? Crowner? If so, any suggestions besides those two?

Previous thread.

Oh. Should I take it off of M&MW Image Links then?
