^ Haha what? I am sorry, but you are going to have to explain that one to me.
Well, if an image can't even clearly demonstrate a story whose entire iconic aspect is sleeping for a long time, then it sure as hell can't illustrate a trope about sleeping for a long time. And even if it did, it still wouldn't be an actual example, which is why I said the Captain America one has the right idea but piss-poor execution.
I really doubt that is why that guy thought is was Cinderella but whatevs dude.
Can we focus on what we want to do with the image, please? Do we want to cut the current explosion picture, keep until better image suggested (if so we need more suggestions), or keep the current?
I doubt that is the reason and think that even if it was, one or even several people not getting it is not good evidence that it is hard to get.
Crowner even though the options are few? (With "no image" on it to reflect the "just pull" option.)
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.Dude, it was me going way too far to explain a flippant remark. I still don't think it conveys the trope very well; it could be a girl trying out a bed in a museum or an old castle for all I know. The girl in the fancy dress could be a historical re-enactor who's decided to kick out the clueless tourist sleeping in a priceless medieval bed.

Good reason to downvote on a crowner. :) Personally, I like it.
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.I really want to pull up a pair of images from Futurama, but Fry's journey is already the image on Human Popsicle. Then again, isn't Cap also technically a Human Popsicle?

Paint it red.
To elaborate on my previous post, the current is worse than nothing, and the suggestion is better than nothing. Not a lot, but a little.
Check out my fanfiction!In answer to the question, I'd say we should have a crowner even though the options are few.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.Crowner's hooked.
I know the crowner was just put up but it's obvious what's winning. When can we change it?
Maybe someone could pull some images from the start of Portal 2 or The Old Grey Hare? Neither one would be perfect, but they might be better than the options we have right now...
^^ Always ("usually" but I've never seen an exception?) at least three days.
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.The ratio's dropped some, so let's give this at least another day.
Alright, I think this one's clear enough. The new pic's up, potholed, and tagged. Caption or no?

Because if it was easier to recognize the trope, it'd be easier to recognize the fairy tale.
