The current pic is okay but I think this She-hulk cover does a better job at expressing the trope.

Eh, it's about equal to current at best, IMO. Not enough to justify swapping, although good fodder for Image Links.

They illustrate the trope just as well, but suggestion looks more like Fanservice while current has some artifacting in.

The she-hulk one is better as it show that she didn't mean to do that. It also shows strength.

The current one is just a man holding a door for some unknown reason.

My main problem with the current image is the facial expressing doesn't tell me that he didn't mean to break the door. It just looks like he's holding a door for some unknown reason.

She Hulk is a small improvement, but enough to justify a swap.

I like the She-Hulk version better. She's holding a cab door and looking sheepish, which clearly shows she ripped it off by accident. Plus, She-Hulk is well known enough that I can assume everyone at least knows that "She-Hulk = strong".

She-Hulk's definitely better, both for the overall mood and for image quality. At 350:

That is better than the current; supporting swap. Can you get it any smaller?

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

I could probably take it down to 300 or 275 without losing too much on her face, but I'm not where I can do it right now.

[down] That's true; I'm fine with it at that size.

There's a lot of text in the description, so size isn't a huge problem here.

I think the She-Hulk one could use a caption to call attention to the door. Simply keeping the current wouldn't work, both because it's not her door and it's not that great a caption to begin with.

Crap caption idea: "In Soviet Russia, cab leaves stuff with you!"

I like the idea of calling attention to the door. The previous suggestions don't but could be modified to, e.g.:

"Dammit, that's the third door this week!"

[up] I can live with that. Any objections to that and the She-hulk pic?

I think the door would object. The other duck wouldn't.

Alright, it's up with rodney's version of the caption. Locking up.
