The Other Troper
The Ratigan pic looks like a king going crazy. Why did you not choose something where he's obviously the villain?

I'd say the second one is okay. The first one isn't, as he just looks like royalty.
Fight smart, not fair.

How do I set up a crowner? I think we should put this to a vote.

I went with Beedle's suggestion, though he still looks like royalty; that said, "royalty" and "villain" aren't mutually exclusive so it doesn't really matter if the image gives a slightly inaccurate impression as to the exact nature of the character's role in the movie.

Lose the brackets.
He definitely looks like a Smug Snake in that one.

... lose what brackets, and who looks like a Smug Snake?

Ratigan is the Smug Snake and he was commenting on my error in formatting the crowner.

That still doesn't say "villain", just a really vain king.
Why aren't you going for him in his normal clothes?

In the top panel. He's got a Smug Snake look now, if not necessarily evil, whereas before he just had a "royal" look to him. A more evil but less crazy look would be best.

And in his villain outfit. It's just wrong to not put him in the outfit he has the most screen time in.
But I'm going to find and make an Azula pic to compare.

... what kind of picture would you recommend, though? For now what comes to mind is that of him setting up the death trap. This way it has some sort of middle ground between Affably Evil and Smug Snake.

Can we get the crowner hooked?
That's an excellent picture of Ratigan being a dastardly villain. If there was a train coming, it would be the quintessential villainy.

The mousetrap picture makes it much more obvious that he's a villain. Much better.

I really like the one with the mousetrap picture.

Shouldn't it be an Image Pickin' crowner?

Yes. Yes it should. I didn't look too closely at the code. Make the images crowner and link the images in each option.
I started it and added one thing. Rhyme Beat, did you want to add the rest?
PS, mods, you might want to add the "Image Pickin" thing to the "how to create crowners" post if it isn't already there.

... Ratigan's got 4 yays right now, with no other options on the crowner yet. Can I at least temporarily replace the page image for now, and if other options prove to be more popular, replace it again?

I like the Ratigan with the mousetrap.

All right, I'm putting it up then.
How about that shot at the end of 'World's Greatest Criminal Mind'? Seen here
