Poor Image: Shorter Means Smarter

I find small white letters with sonic's white shoes pretty difficult to read.

Or is the image not relying on the words?

Agreed; not only is the text difficult to read, I had to do a double-take to realize that the white thing was floating in the foreground and not some large tower in the background.

You have to squint to even realize he's talking. Hell, one could easily make the mistake that Sonic is talking since he's the focus of the image.

Nix it.

I am in full agreement with all of he noted negatives - lets pull that sucker.

Yeah, that's pretty bad. Get rid of it.

Six unanimous votes for a yank; I think that's sufficient.

Yes, that creature on the left is what the device translates.

Yeah, Tails isn't noticeably shorter (at least not in the picture) nor noticeably smarter (again, in the picture). Unless the Shorter = Smarter thing in the picture was meant to be the thing on the left, which has a whole lot of problems (not least of which the fact that the camera angle makes it look larger than everything else).

Pulling was the correct thing to do in this case.

Its bad quality that needs a little sharpening in the text but I lack the tools.

That could work with better quality.

That is the best quality I could find sadly. Here is the Anime version.

There's always Dexter and Deedee. One is shorter and is wearing a lab coat and glasses, the other is taller and doesn't look all that bright.

12 is okay. Not something I am super-thrilled about, but so far it has my vote.

The image in 14 is not loading for me.

14's quality alone pushes me toward a [tdown].

14 is far too blurry for my liking.

Brain size does not exactly state how smart you are.

No, but brain-to-body-mass ratio is a pretty good indicator.

Regardless, "big brain" is pretty good shorthand for "smart".
