"Implying no such thing. Talking about what I think, not what you think."

If you don't mean that, then tell us what you do mean. But the words "to add an image that's not as good as no image" does feel to me as though you think I'm deliberately putting up bad images.

"Evidently nobody agrees they are good."

Actually, I only got a couple comments on all but the Nostalgia Chick image, and most of those seemed to involve some assumption that pictures need to illustrate the index, which is not a rule, or even a guideline. Index pictures that show loads of tropes in one are the exception, not the rule.

"I think we can just can the discussion on an image until it's actually launched."

Well I wouldn't mind (even my not being able to post in such a thread wouldn't be an issue), if it not for this apparent assumption that an index picture is supposed to show most of the index, when that isn't the case. Most index pictures just show one trope, but it clearly shows the main theme of the index from that one picture as well.

Basically, if that assumption was carried over to the IP thread, it wouldn't get an image chosen, as some would slap down any picture even when it still works.
