Whoa. Yeah.
What is it with that particular frame from One Piece? This is not the first page that it's been put on. And frankly, it looks more like terror than surprise or shock to me.
My vote is to put back the Genie.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.It came up in past Oh, Crap! discussions and was always turned down.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanYeah, I prefer the old one.
Other options A slightly better Genie image◊ A frame from this gif?◊
I actually like that Genie pic a little better than the old one.
I like either of the Genie pics.
Check out my fanfiction!Firstly i gotta say i'm sorry, i dont really know how tvropes works so i assumed it is ok to edit images
I put it there mainly because
1. There were 2 people in that image, somebody may get confused 2. the One Piece screenshot is more detalied. Instead of 1 frame of a movie, it is one whole page of a manga. 3. It is a very easily recognisable image for anime fans
But anyway feel free to change it/ do what you want.
This "new era" they talk about is a load of shit. The age where pirates dream is over!? THE DREAMS OF MEN NEVER END! AM I RIGHT? -Big BadAlso there is also an anime equivalent: images(dot)wikia(dot)com/onepiece/images/archive/0/04/20121023031158!Enel_Shocked_Face.png
However someone needs to upload it and i dont have any idea how
Also that other genie pic is good too

This "new era" they talk about is a load of shit. The age where pirates dream is over!? THE DREAMS OF MEN NEVER END! AM I RIGHT? -Big BadOh lord, that image is hideous. Revert ASAP.
"I like girls, but now, it's about justice."Reverted.
New theme music also a boxThere's no problem with mistakes based on not knowing how things are done (for tropers who learn from mistakes, at any rate). Wanting to change a page for the better is a good thing we encourage.
Anyway, for the points you brought up:
- Considering the name of the trope and the clear difference between the characters, I don't think that's a significant problem. But overall a fair point to consider.
- Amount of detail isn't important for actually illustrating the trope. If anything, it can make the image too busy to see the trope clearly. Some detail is needed, but only enough to show the trope.
- How recognisable an image is is completely irrelevant, and related to Fan Myopia. If you're at all required to recognise the character in the image, that's a strike against the image. There are exceptions, but those are rare, and only applicable to world-wide recognisable characters like Mario, Mickey Mouse, and Superman, and even then the information you can assume is known to the public is limited to their base traits.
thank you, Another Duck.
The image with the genie suggested above is the best imo. It should be that.
This "new era" they talk about is a load of shit. The age where pirates dream is over!? THE DREAMS OF MEN NEVER END! AM I RIGHT? -Big BadThe Genie pic is good as well.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanThe Genie pic suggested above is good, but the current is too, and they're pretty similar. I don't think we need to change the image.

"I like girls, but now, it's about justice."The current is literally the first scene I thought of when I saw the trope title, so naturally I think it's perfect. But the quality could be better, so here's a nicer image of the scene:

I like that latest version as well.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanHi Alexandri! Your picture is a pretty good illustration of the trope, though it also kinda looks like he's screaming or laughing. I think the trapezoidal shape of Genie's jaw (a common gag in Western Animation) better exemplifies the trope though.
Another vote for Genie.
15 works for me.
I personally like this one a bit better, the finger sells it.◊

+1 for 15.
"Polite life will fill you full of cancer." - Iggy Pop "I've seen the future, brother, it is murder." -Leonard CohenI like the improved version of the original. I always liked how it shows both the realistic and cartoony variations of the trope.
"Yeah, it's a shame. Here we are in an underground cave with all these lasers, and instead of having a rave we're using it for evil."
Jaw Drop has been changed from this◊ to this.◊ I'd say the original is much better. (Plus it's referenced in the article text..)
