I think the Thanos one is fine. Him being higher up than everyorn else, the villainous look, the minions at the bottom, help make it more than the JAFAC the other are.
"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."Thanos is a solid keep. The main page image is better than nothing, so Keep Until Better Image Suggested. Pull everything else.
I'd like to apologize for all this.Agreed all around
Agree with Lemon
All universes shall be judged.I also agree to put Thanos in the main page
(Annoyed grunt)
Keep Thanos, pull others
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessMove Thanos to main page, pull everything else.
Keep Thanos and pull the others.
Kaito is an alien and he is kinda spacey, coming from the universe to party and go crazy!Pulling all, sans Thanos who should be put on the main page imo.
There is a poster from The Rise of Skywalker that features Palpatine looming over Rey and Kylo Ren, which could be used for the Star Wars subpage.
I actually think something along the lines of BUPKIS for all Big Bad pages would be good, since all of those page images demonstrate that it's hard to find a Big Bad image that isn't just a picture of an evildoer that relies on Fan Myopia/JAFAAC to know they're the main villain.
"Squid has to go to market. He's had to go to market for as long as he's sucked water."I don't necessarily think the Palpatine image is pull-worthy. He looks evil and is sitting on a throne, so he looks in charge even if we don't see his underlings.
Thanos doesn't actually look evil in that shot, so to using that as the main pic.
We're mostly undecided on the main page Palpatine pic and the Thanos pic, so I pulled everything else in the OP and tagged them for this thread.
tbh, if not for Endgame memes, I wouldn't know Thanos is even a villain. Considering it's Marvel, a space grandpa on an Earth background could be anyone.
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupNow that you bring that up, BUPKIS might actually be the best option here.
I think Palpatine is Obviously Evil enough here.
I'm good with moving Thanos to the main page.
The universe is under no obligation to make sense to us.Keep Thanos on the MCU subpage since it was chosen by a thread, and Palpatine on the main page since it's on the "don't change the pic" list. Shadao, I assume you're talking about this poster? That could work for BigBad.Star Wars:
Keet cleanup
Crown Description:
So, you know how Big Bad is one of the most terribly misused tropes on the site, because people use it for any important or intimidating villain when it should be for the villain who drives the plot and causes the most 'evil' events?
It's come up in the Suggestion thread (starting from here) that the images don't illustrate the latter points, just the former.
I believe Palpatine on the main page is a leftover from the "Star Wars is immune to JAFAAC" attitude of ten+ years ago that doesn't hold up now. I think the only salvageable one is the Marvel Cinematic Universe one (it was chosen in 2021 and features galactic stakes and smaller conflicts below him), which we could possibly promote to the main page. I move to pull everything else.
(Side note...those subpages really need to be indexed on the main page.)
