Just a Face and a Caption: Go Mad From The Revelation

The image for Go Mad from the Revelation is JAFAAC. The image is part of a card, which can be found here. One of the problems with the image is that the guy in the card didn't actually go nuts from any big revelation or reveal. He's just a guy screaming about the moon (which is very important on Innistrad, the plane Avacyn Restored is set on).

Furthermore, the caption has even less to do with the trope then the picture does. The guy in the picture doesn't want a drink, he's just nuts. An image of a crazy guy running around a street does not equal Go Mad from the Revelation.

+1 to pull, that's way too generalized.

Huh, a bad image. Yank it.

Well, to be fair, it looks like he just read something on that scroll and promptly tore off to rave through the streets about it. I vote Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

There are a couple of images on the page, but the only one I think would work as an image is another MTG card, Glimpse the Unthinkable◊.

Yeah, I think that Glimpse The Unthinkable is a much better image than Mad Prophet for this trope.

Glimpse the Unthinkable > current, so far.

What about this artwork of Abdul Alhazred? [1]◊

Looks more like Room Full of Crazy.

And here I thought you mean the villain of King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow.

So, who here is in support of Glimpse The Unthinkable's artwork?

What about the first panel here?

With or without the text.

First one is perfect, with text I think.

Technically, that's Go Mad From The Pursuit...

It's still an attempt to understand, though.

Discovery == Revelation, for tropes purposes, so it fits, but it would be better suited to Mad Mathematician.

So I take we're all in favor of deleting the old image? Both Glimpse The Unthinkable and that Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal panel look fine to me.

Glimpse the Unthinkable

for Glimpse.

for Glimpse

Glimpse is better than SMBC, IMO.

for Glimpse.

For Glimpse, I was actually immediately thinking of it on reading the topic.

So I take it we're ready to change the image? I've already edited the page, but I haven't saved it yet.

Yeah, that's enough of a consensus to make the switch.

Done.
