Just a Face and a Caption: Narm.Video Games

The current page image doesn't illustrate the trope visually; the only thing linking the image to the trope is the text in it, which is just equivalent to JAFAAC.

The caption is also essentially an imagelink gallery in order to understand why is the image narm, which is an absolute no-go for a page image.

I really don't know what to think about this one.

It's a poor image and does not illustrate the trope for me at all. Definitely pull that one.

I think it should go.

Pull it.

Eh, not really doing anything for me.

YMMV, it depends on your standards for angry faces.

I wasn't particularly narmed up by your suggestions either, the first of yours especially.

6:3 to 6:5 could work for The Legend of Zelda narm subpage. I'm not a big fan of 6.2, it overlaps with Off-Model and Good Bad Bugs.

Do sub-subpage examples need to go on the sub-subpage, though? If the alternative is "imageless," I'd rather a Zelda example on the video games page than have it be imageless.

Don't get me wrong, I'm open to alternative suggestions.

I'll suggest another Hotel Mario entry for now:

But I'd like to also reiterate that there's more where that came from:

Another option: I.M. Meen.◊

Remember that Narm is specifically about dramatic scenes that end up unintentionally hilarious. I don't think Hotel Mario or I.M Meen are trying to tell serious, emotional stories.

I think that "CURSE YOU... Link!" is the best one so far.

I think those are the best so far, too.

Same here.

Ehhhh, that just seems a bit melodramatic and not truly narmy.

Now for a Super Solvers example...

...although I'd probably be content to go with "curse you Link" for this if everyone else is.

I haven't a clue how that is supposed to qualify as anything.

Because the creatures that are supposed to be spooky have cartoonishly big mouths and weird objects attached to their bodies hanging in front of their faces like a deep-sea santa hat? (I know they're supposed to be based on real-life ocean creatures, but still...)

Again, though, I'm content to go with "curse you Link" if everyone else is.

Clock is set. Crowner?

May as well. I'm all out of image suggestions anyway... at least for now.

The CD-I Ganon is the only one that doing anything for me based on his pose. My vote would go to that.

So far the most votes seem to be for OoT!Ganondorf, with CD-i!Ganon with one fewer.

Call it in favour of OoT!Ganondorf, or postpone the deadline?
