Suggestion: Weather Manipulation

It's a pretty literal trope, and there are a thousand and one Storm images we could use. [1◊], [2◊], [3◊], [4◊]. I tried finding good Thor ones, but most of them just look like he's doing a Captain Marvel or it's just flashing cool-like in the background.

I like the fourth one best. The second struck me at first as being a general attack rather than lightning.

Interesting, the second is the only that struck me as this trope. The rest just looked like Shock and Awe.

The reason the second worked for me was because it's the only one where she isn't physically touching the electricity. It looks like she summoned it from the sky.

The fourth one has a swirly tornado thing in the sky and wind blowing around, though. The first one and third have a storm brewing in the background, and the third I suggested for that reason. I think they all have elements of this trope (and of course Shock and Awe, as a given). There are these too: [1], [2◊].

Loving this image of Thor here◊. He's not touching the lightning nor is it emanating from him (So it doesn't look like Shock and Awe), and the clouds are visibly curving behind him, around him, which makes it clear he's controlling them, not just floating on the wind.

Oooh, that's nice.

I like 5 too.

5 is best because it's clearly weather and not Shock and Awe.

Definitely liking the Thor, much more than any of the Storm ones, for the same reason as Rethkir

+1 for 5.

Yeah, definitely go with Thor.

That's strong consensus; up and tagged. I don't know where to pothole it, though.

Caption?

Good job, everyone. Caption or no?

If it were Storm, I'd have gone with "Ooh, make it rain!"

Since it's Thor, I got nothin'.

Wild were the winds that came, in the thunder and the rain
Nothing ever could contain the rising of the storm...

Thor, god of Sturm and also of Drang :P

I think it's fine without one.

"As the saying goes, if all you have is a hammer... Summon a thunder storm"

"North winds blow! South winds blow! Typhoons...hurricanes...earthquakes...SMOOOOOOG!"

Isn't Smog a dragon from Lord of the Rings?

<sits back as a thousand brain aneurysms explode>

Smaug is his name.

Yes!

I know. And it's actually in The Hobbit.
