Poor Image: The Chew Toy

"Krillin Owned Count" means nothing if you don't watch the series. Also, I can't even tell what's happening to him. Impaled by a ginormous spork?

Don't watch the series, but figure Krillin is the name of the guy getting impaled on someone's head horns, and that sort of thing happens often.

Not great, but not hopelessly awful. Doesn't mean nothing, and can tell what is happening.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested for above reasons.

Also, two previous threads.

My idea is a collage of a character getting defeated in comedic ways; Waspinator from Beast Wars comes to mind.

Seconded.

Perhaps Frieza impaling Krillin is too extreme, and distracting. I think the counter itself is still a good example. Gets across that this Krillin person takes a licking often enough for there to be a sizable counter for it. What is the latest count, 25 or so?

Perhaps someone could compose a picture of just the 'Krillin Owned' counter with a clearer background than someone's shoulder?

Edit: As of episode 29, Krillin's Owned counter is at 28. And with a good background to boot, in my opinion.

I'm going to go with Keep Until Better Image Suggested. It's a pretty kludge-y image, but it isn't confusing or anything, so we can leave it alone until something better comes along.

I've never seen the show, but the image still conveyed the idea to me. I think it's fine the way it is, but if anyone can find something better, I wouldn't be opposed to a new pic.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested for me, as well. The character is being impaled and has an "owned-o-meter", that's clear enough for me.

The "Krillin Owned Count" concept isn't a bad idea, as one can tell that "Krillin" is supposed to refer to the guy who's being owned in the image, and judging from the count, it does happen often.

That said, the Frieza goring scene isn't really the most obvious image, though. So here's another suggestion, Krillin getting kicked by Recoome in episode 20 (owned count 12). It should be more obvious what's happening here.

The only thing I don't like about that is the big bug in the corner...I favor the current because of that.

Big bug? You mean the "GalacTV" logo in the down-right corner?

edited 21st Jul '12 7:29:13 AM by Mothrayas

Yup.

Personally I like it, I think it's a neat little touch. Not only is the Chew Toy being kicked in the face, it's also broadcasted on television for people's amusement. (The entire episode is basically a spoof of pro wrestling)

Yeah the Galactic tv logo is part of the episode.

Chuck from Panty And Stocking With Garterbelt comes to mind. Poor guy is constantly being abused and killed for no good reason other than the fact that he is there. The girls often take their own anger out on him. He always gets struck by lightning when God sends down a mandate.

I'll gather a few screenshots. Maybe a collage showing him being chewed on, so to speak, might work.

A semi-transparent logo in the corner is called a bug.

edited 21st Jul '12 3:03:36 PM by DRCEQ

Okay, that's a good alternative.

I wanted to make it a little wider, but things just turned out that way.

Perfect.

I wasn't aware Gir was in Panty and Stocking.

Jhonen Vasquez actually noticed the similarities, and said that Chuck was like his own version of the Mr. Sparkle episode from The Simpsons.

Any objections against my suggested image? We'd just need to pothole Panty And Stocking With Garterbelt into it.

I think 650 px is way too tall.
