Changed w/o discussion: Fetal Position Rebirth

Image changed with no discussion in sight. I sent the standard message to the culprit.

I don't like the new image at all; beyond the fact it's upside-down, it looks a lot more like Troubled Fetal Position, when the description points out the two tropes are distinct.

I'm not dead-set on keeping the previous image if the nudity is a problem, but we need something clearly illustrating the rebirth part.

I agree that the replacement looks more like Troubled Fetal Position...to get this trope across, you'd need to show Asuka's revelation about her Evangelion and her laying the smack down on the JSSDF afterward, but that's all WAY too much to get across succinctly in a page pic. I'm not crazy about the old pic either, mainly because I have no idea how that's supposed to be a rebirth...for all the pic says, that could be a fancy shipping case for someone's new robot plaything.

For possible illustrations among the examples already on the page:

• We have the Icarus◊ one, but I'm not too sold on it.
• On the other hand the one from Les Légendaires◊ has potential. It's a bit busy, but a crop focusing on the central character might be interesting, especially with the fragments surrounding her evocative of an eggshell cracking up.

EDIT: Here's what I meant. I had to find an higher-resolution version of the whole picture first for it to not be too small. The final result is rather satisfying, I must say.

Looks a little grainy, but sure.

Just checking but I'm pretty sure a change without discussion is grounds for an auto-revert (whilst awaiting the outcome of any further discussion), right?

Yeah, the original picture was a bit artifacted. I've tried saving it in png, but it didn't make any perceptible difference to the naked eye. I doubt I'll find any of a better quality.

I'm not too sure it's an actual policy; in some case the new picture is deemed better than the previous one, and not reverting it outright avoid needless edits.

Whatever we choose it shouldn't be interchangeable with Girl In A Box.

Good point.

Clock is set. Crowner?

Les Légendaires is the best suggestion offered.

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"

Crowner's hooked.

Bump for votes; two in the green, one with a lead.

I think it's safe to call.

Yeah, looks safe. It's up and tagged; caption or no?

Old pic:

I vote no caption; it can convey the trope fine without one.

However, I don't mind if someone can think of a good one.

This one should've been closed out already.
