Well, I'm not actually sure if those text count as Macro or if they are actually subtitles from the show, but even if it's not a macro, it still does not illustrate the trope. This looks more like an example of Annoying Younger Sibling than actual rivalry between the sisters. Plus, the second panel is entirely irrelevant. Something like this would probably be more clear.

Not a macro, just a horrible attempt at subtitling but I'm not sure they were truly rivals. Anyway, the suggestion is a bit eh because I'm not sure where the rivalry comes in but I'd pull the current image for sure.

From the fact that they're arguing with each other? A still version of this would probably illustrate that better, but I didn't suggest it earlier because I wasn't sure if subtitles count as Macro.

[up] I don't recall subtitles being counted as macro. That image is a hot mess though.

@1 isn't clear on who's "smart" and who's "pretty," @3 is a bit better but too grainy.

Here's another Daria suggestion.

Hilda/Betty from Ugly Betty? 1 2 3

Or the cover of this book?

EDIT: Or this book.

Subtitles aren't macros.

Many of the suggestions don't contain good personality contrasts, I am afraid.

[up][up]Most of those are rather weak on the "rivalry", IMO, and looks more like Sibling Yin-Yang

Clock is set. The current has problems, but I'm voting Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

I think the alternative Daria suggestion in @4 is much better than the current, since it's more clear on the different styles both sisters has, and their age differences are not as pronounced (I still think the current pics look like Annoying Younger Sibling more, and it's really misleading).

[up] I overlooked that one...I think you're right, that does set the contrast up between them more clearly. I also agree that the current is a little too close to Annoying Younger Sibling. Crowner?

This is ready to call. The new pic's up, potholed, and tagged. Caption or no?
