One would think that a picture of a Mind Probe would at least feature someone in the process of having their mind probed.

Shouldn't be hard to find better pics than what's currently there.

Agreed, that's classic JAFAAC

Motion to pull

"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman

It's also not an example. It used truth serum IIRC.

Fight smart, not fair.

Seconding the pull for not actually being an example of the trope.

"It's also not an example. It used truth serum IIRC."

Wait. There is a line in the movie where they called it a mind probe. So it's JAFAAC, but it is an example.

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

They call it one. However, the scene specifically drew attention to the whole needle aspect.

Fight smart, not fair.

That's why I say it's an example, but not a good one.

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

Reading the description, it says that there's a "no touching" aspect, implying it's some sort of ray or beam.

Fight smart, not fair.

A couple suggestions:

• Calvin◊ from Calvin and Hobbes (panels 7-9)
• Maria Hill◊ from The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes

I like Maria Hill.

Fight smart, not fair.

"Reading the description, it says that there's a "no touching" aspect, implying it's some sort of ray or beam."

This would be for TRS, but why? I've seen the term applied in works to things that have contact.

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

I interpret it as anything that involves a forceful scan of the mind, including devices, but that doesn't involve drugs or something that actually enters the body.

Magic card

Belief or disbelief rests with you.

Anything to say about the picture someone added without posting it here?

Which is:

---

Don't understand why that was added with no discussion — pretty big link to this thread at the top of the article — but it's ok.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.

It's not perfect but it's a lot better than the old one that I made this thread for. Keep Until Better Image Suggested for the new pic.

I kind of prefer the one dsneybuf posted◊ from the Avengers cartoon.

Someone set a timer, please.

I like the one from the Avengers cartoon.

"Doctor Who means never having to say you're kidding." - Bocaj

The Avengers pic is alright, definitely the best of what's been suggested.

My ideas for the caption:

"'Your compliance is unnecessary.'"

"'Scanning and replicating the human mind was the first thing I ever learned.'"

Also, if knowing the context helps someone come up with something original: Ultron decided to use SHIELD's missiles to destroy the world, but Maria refused to share the codes, so he probed her mind for them.

Either of those would work.

It looks like both sentences can fit.

I like "Your compliance is unnecessary", punchier.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.
