I just noticed that both Deal with the Devil and Depower have essentially the same picture of Hades and Hercules. I suggest changing one of them.

These images do not look "essentially" the same to me; the De-power one looks like a transfer of sorts.

Why not just go back to the previous Deal with the Devil image?

For the record:

[up][up]I'm not big on that one. It looks more like a con man than anything else.

IMO changing the one on Depower would be the best. No leads on a replacement though.

I don't think they're similar enough that a change is required, though an obvious improvement is of course always welcomed. The actual difference between them makes quite a lot of difference in what you see. A handshake or a power transfer of sorts. Which incidentally is what the tropes are about.

They don't look that similar to me. If a superior replacement can be found for either of them, that would be fine, but I see no pressing need for a change at the moment.

Oh, and the old Deal with the Devil image is not very good; I can see why it was changed.

[up][up][up][up][up] Most people were fine with Facilier; Hades just looked to be the better choice.

So if we have a duplicate, no reason we can't go back to Facilier.

The image in 3 is just horrible for this. It totally does not look like this at all.

3 is absolutely bad. No way I'll support its return to the Deal with the Devil page.

I don't like it, it looks like that white guy is just working for the devil (and very few Dwt D involve an office environment like that, anyway). I'd prefer either the current pic (and replacing it on the other trope as needed) or Dr. Facilier.

[up] I'm not seeing anything in the image that suggests they're not equals. It seems clear enough to me—much more so than 3, at least.

Should we have a crowner on it then? I think this is a still a pretty good candidate, but let's see what more people think.

[up][up]Can it be brightened? It's a little too dark for my liking, but otherwise [tup]

I'm a little worried about how that one would look at wiki size, especially with said darkness.

[up]To be fair, the image does have a lot of dead spaces on the sides that could be easily cropped off.

First attempt to brighten it up:

Also looks pretty fine to me. If you know who the original artist is, he or she should probably be credited.

Looks like it's from http://marcovale.com though oddly the artist's website does not seem to have the picture displayed anymore. Changed portfolio I guess.

I think current is the best so far for DwtD.
