Suggestion: Wolverine Publicity

Current's good and an absolutely stellar example, but it relies on the caption that Wolverine's not in there. Here's my suggestion since this cover blatantly calls Wolverine's appearance out as being gratuitous and an example of this trope.

Admittedly, it'd be a little better if the disclaimer were more legible. It's only JUST legible at max wiki size. Of course, we could try our own resize/Photoshop job; here's an absurd size for that purpose.

[up][up]That's an improvement. Better clarity, even if it doesn't depict the furthest extent of the trope.

Here's the larger version of the current at wiki size...not sure if I prefer this with a different caption or the Deadpool suggestion.

I prefer 4. The suggestion just feels too busy.

1 > 4.

But if someone wants to whip up a version of 4 that has a zoom on the disclaimer (making it legible while still letting us know how tiny it is) I might support that.

Not a cheapskate!

I'm liking 8 the best. The Deadpool one feels a little too busy.

I like 8. It's an elegant fix to the problem with the current image.

But that's a story for another time.

One or two more votes for 8 and we can run with it.

I'm sure there's a better way to highlight the little disclaimer on 1.1, but I'm too short on time this morning to actually work on it now. Maybe later tonight.

I think the Deadpool one implies Wolverine is still inside. I like the enlarged disclaimer best.

[tup] for 8, pending Stardrake's suggestion. I like the Deadpool one too, but it is a bit busy.

Okay, here's what I cooked up for my take on #8. Exact same idea, slightly different presentation:


(Alternately, I like how #8 has the arrow ... I just think the closeup part should be offset slightly outside the image's borders, and possibly highlighted red, to make it stand out.)

[up]agreed, offset plus arrow would be awesome.

Take #2 ... oh, and is it too late to point out just how well the image works for Covers Always Lie instead of just WP?


(wait ... which way should the arrow point again?)

The Covers Always Lie image is great IMO, and that cover tells the truth.

[up] Agreed. 23 is the best option so far.
