This image has several problems as an illustration, mainly of being confusing. Also, it's read from right to left, which is usually avoided with trope images.

It does have flaws, but I'm not really seeing anything in the examples that could work as a replacement, except possibly this or this.

The current is so-so at best.

The middle of the page with Agatha (2.1) could work very well.

I was the one that put the image there when I launched this trope... And I agree, in that it should be replaced for two reasons.

  1. The trope is about a character expressing pleasure from the power, itself, like a drug. Not from their reaction to it.
  2. The image isn't an example as she is more happy about what she just did (which is another trope called Drunk on the Dark Side) with it, not from the power itself. So it doesn't fit.

I admit I did a mistake, putting this one. I vote for it to be replaced too.

Here are some of my suggestions:

In my opinion, this one is the best Mainly because she is crawly receiving lighting (power) and she clearly is enjoying it. The main point of the trope.

Others:

[1]

[2]

[3]

[4] [5]

[up] Not really feeling any of those. The "best" suggestion just looks more like a trance than an ecstatic experience.

[up] Agreed, there's nothing in any of those that makes them stand out from your everyday exaggerated superheroine pose...plus we couldn't use the third one anyway because it's watermarked.

And now I know how Death of the Author feels, well kinda.

Not a complaint though, I trust you will find a good image smile.

The current isn't that bad, but it needs to be flipped.

That is problematic: there are English "drip drip" sfx that would be obviously backwards.

I think that flipping the dialogue between speech bubbles would work better than trying to flip the entire image.

[up] That first one's pretty good, but it needs to be sharper, the dialogue is a little fuzzy.

A) Not really better, and B) no white space around the text in the bubble looks bad.

I don't think that's still clear if scaled down to wiki-size, though.

General tip: If you're already editing an image, make it the proper size for the wiki, so no further resizing is necessary. That also makes it much easier to see how well it works.

Don't worry, I have the original psd file and the text is in vectors so I don't think scaling it down might be a issue at all.

EDIT:[up] thanks for the tip :)

I just resize it wiki size. It should be good enough to be a possible candidate. I hope you like it.

Alternatively, I can fix whatever flaw you want.
