Suggestion: Even Evil Has Loved Ones

Even Evil Has Loved Ones has no picture, which isn't too surprising since it isn't that easy to illustrate. However, I think we can get something out of this strip. Not the whole thing, maybe panels 2 & 4 would be enough, or 2,3 & 4...

2 + 3 or 2 + 4 would work.

The art's too unpolished for my liking.

I don't really see evil. Affably Evil perhaps, but it looks more like they're cute, yet scary. Not really evil.

Yeah, I'm not sold on the suggestion either. I think a good image should show something like a villain doing something evil, then taking time out to visit his family, for instance.

I'm ambivalent if it'll work, but just throwing this out there: supervillain tries to comfort his wife after she's lost her marbles◊.

Can't see the evil here.

The concept is really hard to show in a picture but here◊ are◊ a few◊ suggestions just in case anyone thinks it works.

That's a robot. Shows Evil even less than in 6 (which has other problems).

^^ He does look like a villain, but I think his wife's expression would be too confusing without knowing that she's insane at that point.

Depending on how it looks at wiki size, how about Mr. Freeze and his wife◊?

Now we are talking! for 9

9 is in danger of being JAFAAC.

What about that TNG episode 'the Chain of Command'? A Cardassian spends all episode torturing Picard and, at one point, his very young daughter comes into the room and he bonds with her, right in front of the tortured Picard. I own the episode, I could look for some decent screencaps, but it includes scenes like this (it would probably need a combination of a scene showing Picard's torture and the scene where Dad bonds with his little girl):

[1]◊

[2]◊

[3]◊

Just A Face And A Caption is when there's nothing that suggests the trope other than that the character is (maybe) an example of the trope.

9 shows a guy with red eyes or glasses, which make him look somewhat sinister and villainous, to say nothing of his appearance. He's (symbolically) stroking the cheek of a woman either in a picture or in some kind of suspended animation. Granted, he could be be a creepy stalker guy, but that interpretation would require you to ignore the trope name as well as reading more into it than what's shown.

That's very clearly not JAFAAC.

I like 9.

9 is clear in one image.

I like 9.

Also, please read Just A Face And A Caption.

9 works, even if it may need the help of a caption.

9 at 275px:

Yeah, 9 works really well.

9. The red eyes get the "evil" across.

Definitely enough consensus; 9 is up and tagged. Caption or no?

I think a good quote by Freeze himself would work best there.
