That's not a principle we follow. It's a change for the sake of change, not a change to make anything better.

Regardless, I'd like to hope that people will objectively look at the images to decide which is better rather than "i dun like change".

So far it seems about 50/50 on the matter.

"Out of principle of updating to the newer game?"

Yes, exactly. There is nothing wrong with the current image and that's not an improvement.

[up][up]It's not just "we don't like change". Several points have been made why the old image is better (more focus on Peach rather than the person she's beating, showing the action more clearly).

And many points have been made why the suggestion is better.

Currently it's tipping around 50/50.

The current is preferable to the suggestion. The angle is such that the current places emphasis on the action itself, while the suggestion seems to focus more on the reaction of the victim. Personally, I don't give a damn about the argument of "we have to use the most recent game," versus, "We shouldn't change things just for the sake of changing things." The only thing that matters is that the current is a slightly better illustration of the trope.

[up][up]How do you reach 50/50?

Because I counted 4 yays, 4 nays, and 4 people who were neutral?

Wouldn't that be a 50/50/50 split, then?

So I guess we're going to need a crowner?

Crowner's made.

The current is more focused on the actual ass doing the kicking. The suggestion puts too much emphasis on the reaction of the guy getting hit.

The ass doing the kicking is front and center in the Wii U pic, so I'd beg to differ.

Votes bump...the current has a pretty commanding lead.

FWIW, I did a quality upgrade to current on the trope page.

Called and closed crowner; should the caption stay?

Caption is fine.
