Poor Image: Armor Is Useless

Maybe it's just me, but I find the current image to be so cluttered and zoomed out that it took me a while to realize what I'm looking at, even though I have seen Return of the Jedi before.

For a replacement suggestion, Oglaf recently had a comic that exaggerates this trope, with a panel that I believe nicely demonstrates the trope in action.

Thoughts?

[up] Much more direct and clear, I like it.

Oh my word. The current image needs to be gone, the proposed replacement is fine, although I tend to prefer images that don't have in image text, at least in this case it is not rely on in-image text to get their point across. I don't think it needs a caption either.

One, the current should be pulled regardless. Two, the suggestion would've been better even if the current was good. Might need a little border cleaning, but that's it.

The current needs a wooden stake through its armour. The suggestion is far better.

I'm just going to echo the sentiments that the suggestion is good and that the current image is awfully cluttered and just plain awful. Make the swap ASAP.

The current hurts to look at. The suggestion looks fine.

Alrights, it's up, potholed and tagged; caption or no?

I can't think of anything good right now.

Do you think we could crop it better, so there isn't an uneven black border along two of the sides?

That's no good, even non-useless armor would fail against a natural 20.

It has enough text without one.

[up]I think my idea was funny, but I'm okay with it being a no-caption pic.

Let's leave it to the caption repair thread. Locking up.
