The second seems to work best. The third could look like the captor won the battle.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.I'm getting a 403 Forbidden for the second pic.
Still need More Dakka, and it's about time to start a real WAAAAAGH.Drag and drop to an address bar, or tab (if your browser works that way).
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.Ah, that's better.
Yeah, I think the second pic works the best out of those three.
Still need More Dakka, and it's about time to start a real WAAAAAGH.I like the second.
If people learned from their mistakes, there wouldn't be this thing called bad habits.I'm more in favour for the 1st picture personnally.

Still need More Dakka, and it's about time to start a real WAAAAAGH.Prefer the 2nd pic. The first looks like an abduction.
To be fair, the trope name is Knight in Shining Armor, and I think most are familiar with the phrase.
Found the following picture◊ in Nice Guys Don't Get Laid (Not a nasty book, btw) which illustrates the trope itself as well as the modern interpretation of it.
Everything can be found on the Internet... except common sense.Fix the image links, then we'll talk.
Edit: Never mind, I got ninja'd.
The only one of those that you can really tell what's going on is the first, and even then the emphasis is more on the dragon. Hell, the horse takes up more screen prominence than the knight.

Why not Saint George? [1]◊
Well, in that picture he's wearing black armor, which kinda goes against the "shining" part of the trope. Maybe a picture of him traditional silver-colored armor would work better.
Reaction Image RepositoryI like the Paladin one. It looks like it would work quite well without the Demotivator part.
Fight smart, not fair.Dante's 3rd pic would be great, minus the demotivator (we've got a rule against those, don't we?). The paladin looks suitably angelic. Then again, helterskelter's pics do more to demonstrate the "Chivalry" aspect of the trope, and the Paladin would basically be a somewhat shinier guy to replace the current shiny guy.

I reject your requirement for a witty statement or fanboyish squealing in my signature.I don't know, a flying angel invokes something way different than a Knight in Shining Armor, to me. It might be a good picture for The Paladin, though, which is currently pictureless.

Go ahead and stick the paladin pic up on The Paladin.
Fight smart, not fair.Did so.
Bump, can we get a crowner going for the other options?
Still need More Dakka, and it's about time to start a real WAAAAAGH.Second pic is better than what's there now.
Crown Description:
Knight In Shining Armor
Maybe it's just me, but the current picture for Knight in Shining Armor isn't working for me. It's kinda blurry, and it really doesn't offer any context beyond the guy being in shiny armor. Caption isn't helping any either.
Says it's from Yu Gi Oh if the link is to be believed, but that still doesn't offer me any real context. There a better picture we can find for that thing, or am I just thinking about it the wrong way?
