Poor Image: Strange Syntax Speaker

Go To

The image for Strange-Syntax Speaker is just too long to be practical. When I stumbled upon this trope in my reading, It took me longer to read the image than the examples. I like the Idea of using Yoda, because he fits the trope well, but the full image is way too lengthy. It's the same size as the trope description! Would there be a way to synthesize the comic on the trope page, or find a new image entirely?

This is one that probably belongs in "might as well be a page quote territory" but it amuses me, so I'm inclined to give it a weak Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

Yeah, it's...pretty bad. If we keep it, we can ax the second and third panels, the first one gets the trope across by itself.

First panel?

The first panel works as long as it resizes well...looking at it on my phone, I dunno how big it actually is.

Aren't all of those equivalent to quotes, though? I don't quite see what the image adds to the dialogue or illustration.

That said, I'm voting to pull the current regardless of replacement for that very reason.

5.1 looks best. 5.2 looks good. Something about 5.3 click with me does not.

I get Hulk Speak from it rather than this trope.

[up] Hulk Speak typically indicates a lack of intelligence. The fact that they are discussing their ongoing language studies seems to suggest they are intelligent.

It's a lampshading and parody of Hulk Speak, which is still Hulk Speak, and therefore not ideal for this page.

It's less a strange syntax and more a very simplified language. I think that's more Hulk Speak than Strange-Syntax Speaker.

So... it's been 4 days. Anyone have any ideas what we're looking for in a page image, before we look for it?

Been another 10. This thread keeps falling by the wayside; should we set a clock?

^^ We are looking for strange syntax excluding simplified language to avoid confusion.
