Does Not Illustrate: Good Is Not Nice

Firstly, it's not Sonic punching him, it's Bunnie; secondly, it contrasts "good" with "nice" by showing the heroes prioritizing goodness (dealing with the bad guy, even if by violent means) over niceness.

Text doesn't automatically make it worthless, obviously, or my own suggestion would be just as worthless, but the visuals have to add something or it's Just A Face And A Caption. (Or in my case, it'd have been just faces and speech balloons, if not for the visuals of the punching.) Facial expressions can add something too; but in Edgeworth's case they don't seem to add much, and in Punisher's case they only seem to add slightly more than in that of Edgeworth.

The crowner's more than a week old and nothing's in consensus range, so I've shut it down. Not really feeling the Sonic suggestions.

As stated, the Sonic pic misses the meaning of the trope entirely. If anything, that's Good Is Not Soft, but probably not even that.

Well, for what it's worth, I'd regard the Cyclops example's visuals as adding more than those of the Punisher or Miles Edgeworth as far as the remaining options go.

I don't understand what's going on in the Cyclops example. Is he throwing coffee to Wolverine's face? And why?

Yes, or some similar liquid. I don't remember the context, but Cyke and Logan's long-standing hostility made it a pretty good example for me.

Cyclops's pic right now = The Punisher's picture without text = Edgeworth's pic without the top panel. Lacking the obvious good part to the character, as I said earlier.

What is done when a crowner doesn't reach consensus, by the way? It's my first time seeing it.

If we can't come up with something, then the thread will be locked and the page will just not have a pic for a while.

I'm fine with that.

Yeah, in hindsight I'm not sure how well the combination of "good" and "not nice" lends itself to being demonstrated visually anyway.

Locking this.
