Alright so I've always not really been clear on what this image is showing. I uh was planning to bring it up but the last time someone contested a pic the tgrad chose they got a really unfair and huge backlash from people. Still thats now behind us and people have said that their willing to let this part of the site be more in control of inages.

Image isn't the best I'll happily admit but I think it does the job well enough. The character is coolly gazing with a smirk into a symbolic representation of the world (magnificent) with pumpkin balloons behind him, then in the next shot one of the balloons has exploded into a crowd of people (bastard). It's not as blatant as "character holding strings connected to others", but it's got a flavor to it that I personally like. If folks don't like it though, all power to removing it.

As we worked on this one Rav, I do concur there's a good enough correlation between Vincent's smirk at his bomb in the first and the explosion in the second. An MB is frequently all about setting up events and causing some sort of action to follow and I don't think it's such a stretch to see what he's up to, personally.

I get that he is behind the explosion, but not really seeing how some explosive terrorism promotes him to MB.

I think the pic/caption combo is a decent keep.

Eh, Keep Until Better Image Suggested. It at least shows how he’s doing a lot with a little.

I didn't see the "world" until it was mentioned, I kind of just thought it was the moon at first. I don't think the image is that bad though it's a weak keep.

I still don't see the "world". The orange things are in the background. It looks like his hand is empty.

Weak keep for now unless someone can provide a decent replacement. This trope is arguably one of the most difficult to pull off image-wise tbh.

Pull. It's honestly awful due to it being super busy and being caption-reliant.

If we do decide to maintain the image as the votes seem to sway, do we wanna exchange it for a higher-quality version of the image? Like this:

Or is the current's quality fine enough as-is?

[up][up] Agreed. If you need to explain the image in so much detail then it's not illustrative/easily understandable.

I'm for the quality upgrade but is there a way to upload without the light in the top left-hand corner?

I prefer the quality upgrade. EDIT: However, I feel it should kept until/unless a better image is suggested.

The clock's up and the consensus is in favor of keeping the pic. I've swapped in 13 and tagged the page; locking up.
