Confusing Visual Pun?: Smug Snake

^ He's too JAFAAC. There's not enough context in those images.

... the 3rd one DOES have that "smug snake smirk" though.

... how exactly ARE we supposed to represent it in a still image anyway?

As it stands, Sir Hiss is the best candidate we have so far, if only for the magnificent pun.

^ Agree with this, lets just leave it as is.

If I remember the Robin Hood movie correctly, Sir Hiss, as a character, doesn't fit the trope. But it's OK, because it's funny?

I'll remember that for future images. :)

^ Sir Hiss fits the trope for the first part of the movie until he's put through a Humiliation Conga. He's fine.

Ribbons Almark◊ he has more Smugness and Pride then all the Smug Snakes

He doesn't look it though. Maybe this one◊, or hell, it appears to be hosted on a site dedicated to finding smug bastards.

Ribbons Almark has displayed a superiority complex he always looked down on humanity he also also described himself superior to other Innovades his confidence of himself is at the point of arrogance

And nothing you say about the character will make it a good image. The image needs to show those things without you telling us.

Space Suit Image◊

Smug Smile Image◊

Third Image◊

I can't see the first one, but the second two don't look particularly smug or snake-like.

First is autohyphenated.

Iqbal: Good examples are not automatically good page images. Heck, there's very little correlation. Please stop suggesting examples that you think are good with pictures that can't possibly show it.

Perhaps we could use Admiral Motti?

EDIT: Switched to slightly more smug-looking Motti.

I have no idea who that is or how he's smug.

I figured the image looked like a smirk, and I figured a lot of people would be familiar enough with A New Hope to know that Motti's the guy who claimed that the rebels couldn't possibly be a threat to their station (the caption quotes him Tempting Fate) and ridiculed Vader for believing in the force.

Hmm... would a sneer be better than a smirk?

EDIT: I've since switched to an image of him sneering.

You're assuming a familiarity with the film, rather than the characters through Pop Culture Osmosis.

I'd think even PCO would be enough to make people familiar with Motti, since that's the guy Vader said "I find your lack of faith disturbing" to. o.o

Well, two things: first is that "I find your lack of [...] disturbing" is an Internet meme and popularized that way, so no one is bound to know that phrase (how often do you see it quoted in day-to-day fiction, as opposed to the much more famous Luke, I Am Your Father?).

Second is that, I've seen the film a few times, and even I can't remember him. I know there's an Imperial guy, but I'd be damned if I remembered his face or anything he said or did.

Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not conjured up the stolen datatapes, or given you clairvoyance to find the rebel's hidden fortr-HGHKT!

Yeah, the first thing I thought of when I saw him as "does Vader have to choke a bitch?"

Maybe we should try Grand Moff Tarkin

It is not the best for several reasons, but nothing suggested seems better than Hiss:

I'm trying to find that picture of The Smart Guy from Supreme Powere where he answers a question "how do you know" by writing on a sheet of paper "smartest man in the world" and points an arrow at himself. Blast it's hard to find.
