Missing Reflection was recently launched as a subtrope of Glamour Failure. Problem is that the current image on Glamour Failure is illustrating such a Missing Reflection, which invites misplacement of examples. Ideally we can find an illustration of Glamour Failure that is not covered by any of the subtropes listed. May prove a tough task.

I also think the image on Glamour Failure would be better suited to Missing Reflection.

I agree that it works better than the current on Missing Reflection; much more concise.

As for Glamour Failure, here's a few options: King Thranduil from the Hobbit, though it might look a bit too similar to Game Face. Terminator 2 also has the T-1000's morphing ability glitching out at the end after it gets damaged.

The Glamour Failure image is slightly better on Missing Reflection than the current image there.

I also approve of the move.

RE 4: I also think the Hobbit image may be too similar to Game Face. However, I think that the other suggestions don't illustrate Glamour Failure.

I think the quality of the current image is quite low, so we should polish it up. And as for Glamour Failure, I second to BUPKIS that page.

The quality issues come from the spots on the dirty mirror. Cleaned up a little.

Reading the trope page, and seeing the long list of possible examples got me thinking that maybe we should leave the Glamour Failure imageless, since it's a supertrope?

Spiral out, keep going.

I think that's a bit premature. We've barely begun to scratch the surface of possible examples.

Looks like we're unanimous in moving the current to Missing Reflection, it's just finding a new pic for Glamour Failure that we have no consensus on. Any other suggestions? Enough here for a crowner?

I am not crazy about any of the contenders. Would rather see the page empty until a kickass image comes up.

Yeah, I'm not crazy about any of the options, either.

Let's move the pic and be done.

Done, and both pages are tagged. Locking up.
