Suggestion: Badass Adorable

Go To

Hi all, I have a suggestion for a picture for the Badass Adorable page, which currently has none.

There's already a ton of Nanoha around this site, so I thought I'd leave a note asking if anyone objected or had better ideas.

Thoughts?

Huh? I guess you have to know something about the show to get the badass part. The adorable part is also up for grabs. They just look like generic anime characters to me.

It could use an image, I guess, just not that one.

OK, thanks! That's why I asked.

Try to find one that shows off the badass part as well.

Also, it should go on the BadassAdorable.Anime And Manga subpage, rather than on the main trope page.

Yeah, I was gonna suggest Kirby, until I realized he was already on the Video Games subpage.

I believe Kirby used to be on the main page, if I'm not mistaken. I'm going to check to see what other subpages have images.


Film
Judge me by my size you should not.

Live-Action TV
Won't load here, but it looks like a demotivator.

Video Games

Western Animation

Real Life

Ugh, that's pretty horrible. I really don't like the concept of having images on subpages unless it's done well and done consistently, and some of this just looks like blatant gushing. Why not just delete them all and put Kirby on the main page? Also, there was a previous (lengthy) discussion, which spawned ImageLinks.Badass Adorable.

I don't consider Yoda even remotely adorable in general, and I don't get that from the Western Animation subpage pic...these need help.

I agree Yoda's not adorable and that guy with the wings isn't either. Kerby and the cat are good.

Yoda is Ugly Cute at best. OP's suggestion makes no sense to me. Cutesy magical girls ain't generally something I associate with badass.

Kirby is best suggestion so far. The cat is in a distant second. Would put in a vote to yank the other two.

That might be good for Western Animation.

Would the pic on Glacier Waif be a good candidate for the Anime/Manga page?

As long as I am thinking about it, here are a couple comic book examples from Runaways.

While the character isn't normally this, I can't help but feel this fanart most definitely illustrates the trope: [1]

Somehow I don't think that looks adorable. Small enough to be a Pintsized Powerhouse though.

19 is not cute. Not like Nibber with his round curves.

Nibbler's… usually cute. That picture… not so much.

The Kirby pic is still the best by far. Some suggestions:

Would Reepicheep from Narnia be good for film?

And what about Shrek's Puss in Boots or Kung Fu Panda's Master Shifu for Animated Film?

Also, I like the second Molly Hayes pic.
