The Dark Side and Foreshadowing share the same image; one is just a cropped version of the other. I'd personally pull the one on Foreshadowing, as it's more of a Visual Pun than an example.

I actually like it more on Foreshadowing. It's still an example even if it's visual pun. I suggest moving the pic from The Dark Side to Foreshadowing because it looks better, and finding a new pic for that page.

please don't capitalize my handle. I just don't like it.

Definitely prefer keeping it on Foreshadowing. What about the middle two panels of this?

A bit wordy, but it works.

I'm very meh on the suggestion. Not great, not terrible. Mostly it's just because it name drops the Trope Namer, but does little to actually show what the trope is. Especially since The Dark Side isn't just a trope about "evil".

[up] I'm pretty meh on it myself, but it was the best I could come up with at that point.

How about Orange Lantern Hal Jordan? Anyone coming into contact with the battery has a voice inside their head pushing them towards extreme greed and even causes endless hunger.

[up] I don't see that it's the battery causing the corruption. Or indeed that he is being corrupted. A caption would help, but it'd probably still be pretty weak.

That's a little too close to the pic that's already on Greed.

Why do people always object to having the same image for 2 differant tropes? If it works for both [which it does] leave it. Change purely for the sake of change is pointless.

Because of statistics: The odds of two tropes having the same best image are very low. Dunno if this math is right, though.

And probably also to avoid spamming the same image across various tropes.

Okay, how about the card Sudden Spoiling from Magic The Gathering? Mechanics wise it's a surge of evil energy that turns an opponent's creatures into hollow, evil versions of themselves.

[up] I think that fits a different trope, at least visually.

Updated the Foreshadowing image.

Also, here's another option that ties in with the DarthWiki.The Dark Side image. Of course, permission would need to be asked.

[up] I've a feeling that would be not allowed for being a meme image.

The clock's up, and while we don't have a consensus on a new pic for The Dark Side, overall the thread is for keeping the pic on Foreshadowing. It's removed from The Dark Side and that page is tagged. Locking up.
