Poor Image: Apocalypse Maiden

Well, that's better. I'm not sure which I prefer.

While probably moot at this point, wouldn't the current image qualify as meme based?

I'd say no. If it was a picture of a yukkuri saying "Take it easy," and nothing more than that, yes, but as this image is composed, I wouldn't count it. They're sort of like flat, round fan-characters.

helterskelter's got a winner.

I would think that the row of 3,4,5 would work, but 3,6 is also nice.

The two-panel Phoenix pic is great.

helterskelter's last version works well enough.

So how long is the wait until we replace the images?

It depends. Not long, unless someone asks that.

Alright, new image is up. Hollering for mods to close the thread.

That was really premature. Two people saying they like it, in the last two days, isn't nearly consensus.

Wait a couple of days more, let's see if we get more opinions here.

(Personally, I prefer the current image to the one that is winning in this discussion.)

Crowner between the Phoenix pic and the current?

Crowner's here. I think the current is much clearer, cleaner, and funnier, even though it doesn't show the trope. It's not about to lead to misuse as a trope about people crashing through space with a grin on their face.

Crowner hooked.

I wonder, though, doesn't the Phoenix pic look a bit like Power Incontinence?

Good point.

True, but the dialog states that the power is engulfing her, rather than her losing control. With the explosion taking a phoenix shape it should also come off as Demonic Possession causing the end of the world.

The power engulfing her sounds like the power is the one in control, not her.

Exactly, check the second paragraph of the trope description "or have been possessed by an Eldritch Abomination."

Well, the very last panel makes it clear this is more of a prophecy-possible-fate thing. I just wasn't sure how to edit it so it looked even.

At this time:

Two-panel Phoenix: 7 (yeas:14 nays:7) 2.00:1

Current pun: 1 (yeas:11 nays:10) 1.10:1

No image: -1 (yeas:3 nays:4)

I doubt it should be called, though.

Nah, it's still pretty early.

Pre-weekend bump for votes.
