I pitched this in the Image Suggestion thread:

But I am wondering if the image on Heel Realization looks more like a Jerkass Realization than a Heel (bad guy) realization and is more to the point than my suggestion:

What are people's thoughts?

1.2 is the best out of the two of them IMO. A weak [tup] for now.

As for Heel Realization there's this...

...but a less wordy image might be better. I just like that this one directly has Manchester Black saying he became a Supervillain which does expressly spell it out.

I agree with moving 1.2 from Heel Realization to Jerkass Realization.

1.2 is moved to Jerkass Realization from Heel Realization and both pages are tagged. Let's see if we can settle on a replacement for the latter page.

If 4 is too long, how about...

[up]I prefer the second of those. While the first is more concise, it looks too much like My God, What Have I Done?

12.2 is the best of the suggestions, though still a bit weak. 4 is light on the "realization" part, Black could have been well aware of his disposition for a while for all an uninformed reader knows. Granted images can assume the reader has some idea of what the trope is going in, but it still makes it less illustrative.

[tup] personally to 4, but as a Collab of panels 1, 3 and 4

Crowner, I also changed the thread title to Heel Realization so it's clearer what the suggestions are for

Calling for 12.2. It's in and the tag's updated; caption?

I think it is wordy enough and doesn't need a caption.

Given that it's someone talking about their experiences in the Holocaust, I think a snarky caption or any caption would take away from it.

I’m sorry, but you have Stage 9 Animes.
