The current page image adds literally nothing to any understanding of the trope. Butterfly of Doom is when minute changes because of Time Travel have huge consequences in the future. The image shows what looks like a magical butterfly, which is both overly literal and doesn't illustrate Time Travel at all.

Having not seen Steins;Gate, I have no idea how that butterfly relates to the trope. +1 to pull.

Ok... expecting this to be Butterfly monsters the one in Darksouls, Devil Summoner 2 Raidou Kuzunoha Vs King Abaddon, Pokemon and such.

Or the or symbolism like Moonlight Butterfly in Turn A Gundam, Chouji in Naruto, or Philemon's imagery in the Persona 3 and 4.

Why isnt this named the Butterfly Effect Of Doom?

The image supports my idea that the trope was and NOT the trope itself. +1 to pull

I had a suggestion in mind, but it may border on "better off as a page quote".

So to be safe I'll just vote pull. Maybe BUPKIS unless someone can think of a good replacement.

Pull regardless of replacement.

It could work, I think.

[up][up] Barring anything else, I think that could work.

It's not great, but the Simpsons image works best.

Another vote or two for 6 and we can run with it.

Too many Simpsons images on the wiki.

[up]Just because a work has "too many" images on the wiki does not mean it automatically makes for a poor illustration and therefore should never be considered.

Indeed. I'd like to diversify too, but the reason why there are so many pics from that show is simply because it's a Troperiffic Long Runner. Same as Batman. Not a valid argument if the only alternative is no pic, at any rate.

I agree with the sentiment, but if it's what we've got to work with then that's what we'll use.

We had consensus to go with the Simpsons pic way back. It's up and tagged along with the suggested caption; locking up.
