Come to think of it, does a trope like this really need an image? Perhaps it's just me, but I can't see adding an image for a trope like this ending well.

It's supposed to be how everyone thought Epic Mickey was gonna be...well, epic, and it ended up sucking.

With that said, the game screenshots are too tiny and hard to make out.

This strikes me as just another version of the old Reaction Guys meme. I don't think it's a good image.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

The image is more Hype Backlash than this trope.

I kinda get it, but it's more Hype Backlash than this trope.

Might be improved by a narrow white vertical line down the middle.

In retrospect, this probably would work better for Hype Backlash.

It's also worth noting that Hype Backlash doesn't have an image either.

Think I should make a new thread for it, and have this one locked?

Or can we come up with another one here?

I disagree with adding an image to Hype Backlash that shows any particular work; it seems like complaining and could possibly attract editing wars. Hell, there's a notice on the Epic Mickey page that says that it's a very controversial work; if that's not a warning to be careful, I don't know what is.

I support no image on the basis of people having tender feelings.

The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.

"Tender feelings" nothing. Hype Backlash had its examples removed, so putting a picture of a specific work on there is completely counter-productive.

And the picture definitely doesn't fit Tainted by the Preview; there is nothing to indicate that the second picture is a preview. In fact, it looks more like the first one is some sort of preview advertising.

I'm pretty sure that Hype Backlash is imageless by fiat due to the Flame Bait potential, but I might be misremembering.

[up] It's a "no examples" page for that reason, but if we could come up with some kind of generic pic, that could work.

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