I don't think that the picture of an evil Kermit the frog is fitting. There never WAS an evil Kermit in any of the Muppet shows, so therefore the picture is not an example. We should put up a more fitting picture, that is an actual example.

It's an example all by itself. Doesn't matter if never appeared in the show. Illustrates the trope perfectly.

Yes, it illustrates the trope, but if someone didn't know about the Muppets, they wouldn't be able to understand the picture. Maybe we need a caption explaining it, like "Kermit the frog's Evil Twin".

Too explainy. If we really want to go for the limit here, the best example would be a picture of the Evil Twin side-by-side next to the good twin.

It's funny, nobody who owns a tv will have any trouble getting it, it shows the concept immediately. No reason to change.

I, for one, never understood what made the picture a picture of an Evil Twin. I mean, just because you have claws and teeth doesn't mean you're evil. I think we need a picture of an actual villainous twin character, not a photo shopped good character with teeth and claws.
  • As a reply to Some Guy, that idea would be good, we just need to make sure that it is an actual good and evil twin. It would be clearer than the current picture, and would illustrate the difference between the good and evil twins.

Fast Eddie supports this picture, so you'll have little luck changing it. But since Judas happens to be my favorite apostle, I'll throw you a bone.

This is the original image that the shop is based off of. If you make a shop that includes both images, then we'll have the good twin evil twin contrast you're looking for, and we can throw a caption onto it for good measure. By my count, this is probably the only option as far as changing the picture goes.

Thanks for the picture, which saved me several hours of image searching, Some Guy. However, I can't photoshop. Does anyone know what happened to the Evil Spock picture, or why it was deleted? I think some knowledge of what gets deleted and on what grounds would be useful.

I think that the "Evil Spock" picture was deleted for not being an example. Oh, Irony!

Especially considering that it shows up on Beard of Evil. Yeah, that should qualify it above the current picture.

Does the Wizards of Waverly Place example really count?

In a Wizards of Waverly Place episode, Alex gets her replica out of a picture, using a special machine. Their lines suggests the fact Alex is actually the bad one of the two: Alex: Goodness. I do look good in that dress. (she turns around) Baby Rockford, put that dress on, we got a fashion show to save. Alex's replica: No! I like this dress... Alex(turns to her replica): Alex, can I talk to you over there for a second? Alex's replica: Sure! (she walks away) Alex grabs a heavy object from a shelf, then follows her,with a dark scowl on her face.

It wasn't technically a twin, and it had two lines, none of which would suggest she wasn't particularly evil. There's really nothing evil twin related here. It's not even an acurrate depiction of the scene.

Baldur's Gate: Throne of Bhaal expansion had this and/or the inversion to this.

In one of the planar stronghold battles the player character would have to face an "opposite" of themselves. This could be a good player facing their evil twin, or an evil player fighting their good twin. Not sure if this belongs here or in Evil Counterpart though (with the inverted good counterpart).
