The current picture isn't bad per se, but if you make abstraction of the fact they're very well-known characters, it's just two brawny guys fighting. We don't have any context of whether they're both heroes, why they're fighting, or if it's their first encounter, etc.

So, I'm suggesting a picture with a bigger lampshade hanging, namely panel 2 & 3 of this strip from the League of Super Redundant Heroes.

Ehhhhh...it's certainly an improvement over the current, but at the same time I'm not really keen on it.

Lateral change, I think.

The original isn't bad (I think if you're Genre Savvy enough, you can infer that they're heroes), but the suggestion is good too. I'd say it's a lateral change.

I've got a suggestion:

Basically just cut down to the part of her saying that nothing kills friends faster than "healthy competition". Clearly shows someone interfering in a friendship to make them fight one another.

I agree with the suggestion in the first post.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

Clock's up; locking for inactivity/lack of consensus. No action is to be taken based on this thread.
