Poor Image: Bad Future

How many tropes do we need for, "the world is a bad place," anyway?

These tropes are fairly different from each other - only Crapsack World is flat out a "the world is bad" trope.

Anyhow, on Rethkir's images, only the one withe subtitle is good for this trope - all others look like Crapsack World and would belong on ImageLinks.Crapsack World.

Honestly, I don't think any of the suggestions so far work better than the Magneto one.

Clock is set.

If it's considered a problem that After the End, Crapsack World, Scenery Gorn and The End of the World as We Know It have similar images, I think several of them should be fairly easy to find replacements for.

After the End and Scenery Gorn naturally both need to feature ruins, but those two pictures are already pretty different from each other in lighting, setting and mood. Crapsack World could potentially be changed to a picture of a world that is crappy but not post-apocalyptic, whcih incidentally would make for an IPD I'd love to shove some of my favorite franchises into. The End of the World as We Know It could potentially get a picture where the focus is more on the world-ending event than the ruined cityscape.

I think all the current pictures work fine, mind you. I'm just saying if other people think the similarity is a problem, it's not a difficult one to solve.

I'm good to run with 18.

Same.

The Magneto pic gave me an idea: an image of one stage from Sonic the Hedgehog CD, comparing that stage's present and bad future.

The clock is up, and looking over this, we don't have enough consensus to go with the Magneto pics, so this one's done. Locking up; no action is to be taken based on this thread.
