Okay, so I get that it's a Visual Pun since the colors are inverted, but it's really hard to tell, and God isn't even the focus of the image. And the Pot Hole to Grandpa God in the caption makes no sense at all.

I don't know why but the topic's link to the article is broken. Maybe it's the hyphen in The Anti-God?

Yes. The URL doesn't have a hyphen.

I made an edit that amounted to nothing, and now it works. Hyphen went away. I'm guessing the custom title created the thread title, which then got linked wrong, even if it's right in the source. Or something.

Anyway, yes, not a good image, but I don't think it harms the page, but it does have the right feel to it, so I don't think it should be pulled without replacement.

It's working now. smile

I agree, the page pic had me scratching my head for a while. It did give me an idea though. Legend Of Korra has Rava and Vatu, who are not just thematically but palette wise opposites of each other. Here's a pic cropped from here.

Neither are gods though.

The suggestion looks less god (OK, anti-god) - like than the current. Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

I think that Satan vs Jesus pic suggested in Yin-Yang Clash might work better here.

@5 oh god. those kites again. they don't really look like gods nor "absolute beings".

[up][up] nope, Jesus is not "god" there. it's more "tempter vs savior" or "Big Good vs Big Bad". God is a "Bigger Good" in Christianity.

throwing this out though, even got Grandpa God going.

[up]Isn't The Anti-God supposed to be "on par" with the main god?

More suggestions

[up] yeah, but that's not really illustratable in one pic if you ask me. you'll have to establish what a god can do and what he looks like before you can show what an anti-god would be.

maybe just the face of plain old granpa god reversed will do? it would still be Visual Pun but it would be clearer because he'll be the focus.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I like the Visual Pun, but there's way too much going on in the current. Just God will do fine.

[up] That or an inverse of God reaching out to Adam would work better.

[up][up] liking that. a little too big though.

[up] Creation of Adam will be as busy as the current, so I doubt that'll be better.

That's a close-up of Creation of Adam, the Ur-Example Grandpa God.

I'd prefer if we didn't try that terrible visual pun again.

[up][up] nah, it's The Creation Of Sun and Moon. God was in profile in Creation of Adam.

13 is better to the current. Not ideal, but good luck finding an image that isn't a Visual Pun. Shall we switch?

I'll go with BUPKIS, it's not a witty nor funny visual gag.

I'm inclined to agree with 22.

13 or nothing.

in favor because it's more clearly Grandpa God.

"or nothing" because having no image is also good because it's an unpicturable trope.
