Image is a whole comic page, so the text is barely large enough to read without zooming in. Even with the text, the context isn't clear enough (is X-23 Brainwashed and Crazy, is this an "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight, did Jubilee just shoot her by accident and she's mad, did someone else just shoot her and she's wrongly blaming Jubilee — what's going on?)

And most of the page isn't focused on the trope at hand, Gorn and Healing Factor take up 3 out of 5 panels.

Yeah, that's barely legible and way too cluttered.

Pull, it has an illegal size too. (378, max is 350)

Pulled.

For the sake of suggesting a replacement: (I can tidy up the selection a bit if it gets picked)

[up] That could work, but it feels like it's overlapping with something else.

[up][up]I'm not actually sure we have a trope specifically for "magically/psychically compelling people to attack their own allies", although we probably should (Lets You And Him F Ight seems to be primarily about tricking people into it).

But if this trope is specifically "accidental friendly fire", it's going to be tricky to depict visually. By it's nature it's hard to tell that someone's doing it when they're doing it, meanwhile the various reactions to finding out afterwards have their own tropes.

I like it, but it's using 2 of 3 panels. Is that kosher?

Ha, that's great.

[up]Why wouldn't it be? First one is just unnecessary setup anyway.

Two of three panels is the majority of the work, so I don't think it's fair use.

I was going to go ahead and put up 19 but someone already too care of it, so I tagged the page. Locking up.
