Just a face and a caption?: Knight In Shining Armor

What about [1]◊ or [2]◊?

I like the second.

More◊ Saint◊ George◊.

Is this trope about actual knights or the character type of a chivalrous man? The description mentions both, but it is not really clear.A cleanup is necessary depending on what this trope is really about.

Seems to be more about the personality type, IMO. A Knight in Shining Armor who is not good and heroic is just some guy wearing armor.

This is an image picking discussion. Are we ready to vote or do we have more possibilities?

If the trope is about a personality type, I suggest we disqualify all suggestions brought up this far.

I'm pretty sure it's both at the same time.

I'd tend to agree.

GIS has turned up mostly bupkis...here's some options: 1◊, 2◊ (anyone know the name of this so a better-quality version can be found?)

Okay Artistic Platypus, suppose none of the images yet have been good. Either show us a pic or describe what an ideal one would look like.

On with the picking of an image if that's okay. How about [1]◊ or [2]◊?

Reading the trope description, the trope seems to be about the literal interpretation of the name. I think we have enough good options to make a crowner.

[1]◊ He's missing the armor, but there's a threat (well, the outer rim of a threat), a sword, and a maiden, so it might work anyway.

Here's that one at 350 px.

That's really pretty much just a generic Heroic dude. No armor, no particular indication of chivalry.

• Lancelot and Guinevere 1◊

• Lancelot and Guinevere 2

• Lancelot and Elaine 1◊

• Lancelot and Elaine 2

I like 1 and 3.

Current one is not JAFAAC. It's fine, although I'm open to a better one.

Are we ready for a crowner?

A Blood Knight wrestling with the temptation to cuckold his own King?

That last one would go great on Courtly Love, I think it is better than what is there now.

As for Knight In Shining Armour- I like the current one. The armour is incredibly bright, the sword's practically a lightbulb and he's got a saintly halo. I guess the only thing it misses for me is rushing in and saving somebody but I can live without that in exchange for a guy who looks like The Cape:medieval version.

but speaking of St. George as some of you have◊

I'm liking St. George.

Yeah, any picture should show a knight doing something unambiguously heroic.

Seconding the like for that St George one.

We might never try to change the pic but even if we don't I think there are some images that should be in an image links for the page but I can't find how to create it.

Go to ImageLinks.Knight In Shining Armor, add links to the images, even if they're hosted on the site.

I like the St. George pic.
