Suggestion: Oddly Named Sequel 2 Electric Boogaloo

The current image we have is admittedly funny, but it is in many ways its own joke. To those not familiar with Splinter Cell and its history it doesn't really mean anything and the puppy focuses attention away from title, which is kind of the point.

Here's an alternative image I found when doing search for Dorkly. It provides a direct comparison between titles and so allows a person to appreciate the meaning of the trope.

The text at the bottom of the chart is too small to read, so I have to vote this down.

While the concept is excellent, I think we should at least be able to read what those "titles" in question actually are.

Someone get a photoshop wizard or something to make the text bigger and it'd be perfect

That, if possible.

I would do it, though I request that the OP provide a source or upload a version that was not saved as a JPG. God, I loathe JPGs.

I prefer the current one, personally. The title is stupid-silly, and the puppy in the picture explains where the title came from. In the suggestion, the names aren't really weird.

I'd assume this to be less about having a work with literal, "silly-stupid titles" (that trope should be covered by Word Salad Title), and more about the developers trying to distance themselves from giving their series boring Numbered Sequels titles, and ended up tacking the series name with bizarre/inconsistent naming convention.

There is nothing in the current image to indicate that the work in question is a sequel of anything.

Current is funny and way more concise.
