Reverting it and messaging the person who changed it.
The character in the new one may be an excellent fit for the trope, but it's a poor page illustration. Aside from the fact that he's lighting a cigarette, there's nothing that particularly says "Badass" about him.
Additionally, the previous image was chosen in this IP thread over the new one and tagged as such.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.Shotguns Are Just Better for illustrating this trope.
Check out my fanfiction!The old pic is definitely better than the Custer pic...do we want to mess with finding something else or just put it back?
Happy with the old pic.
I think the old pic is a hard one to top.
"All you Fascists bound to lose."Old pic is much better and has a more preachery appearance and attitude. The new one is JAFAAC.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanSo, can we close this? I think this thread is settled.
Image Source. Please update whenever an image is changed.Yeah, I think we're done here. I'll tag the page for this thread if it's not already done; locking up.
The image in Badass Preacher was changed without discussion from the Father in Machete to Jesse Custer from Preacher. In either case, it's also a case of Just A Face And A Caption, in that while the new one has just a punk-looking Preacher who's just recognizably badass for those who read the story, while the previous image had a priest wielding two shotguns.
