Currently JAFAAC Needs an Image for comparison: Focus Group Ending

I agree that The Little Shop Of Horrors is the perfect movie to demonstrate this trope with... But unless you're familiar with the movie or musical you have no idea what the image means. I would show a shot of Audrey II on the Statue of Liberty next to the image of the wddding scene from the final cut. We have the latter but we need the former.

Is this even remotely pictureable?

Really hard trope to picture.

Hmm... Maybe instead we should show the wedding shot from a forward angle and compare with an image of Audrey being fed to Audrey II.

^How would that indicate the trope to someone unfamiliar with the work?

Image pulled for showing nothing about the trope. Voting not picturable until someone finds something really good.

Previous:

Why don't we just have two pictures of a movie's ending put together, one being the original and the other being the "better" ending?

That's not ideal, but it's the best way I can think of.

The question is whether or not that shows the Focus Group part.

Use the reaction guys?

@INUH:I dunno, it's a Pietà Plagiarism death scene versus two people being happily married in pastel color land?

^What about seeing those two would tell me that they're alternate endings?

I dont suppose there are pics out there of Star Trek Generations first ending with kirk getting shot in the back? Then a screen of him tumbling off the bridge.

If thats out there it could work (I cant find it atm)

^^The same people are involved in both. And it's not like someone can be married AFTER dying, so they couldn't take place in the same continuity. Someone could die after being married, but putting the Focus Group Ending to the right of the original would establish chronological order... in cultures that read left to right.

Might be best to just use a picture of a crowd negatively reacting to an unspecified thing offscreen.

Should we close this conversation and go imageless, or do we still want a picture?

Eh, I really don't think this one absolutely needs a pic, and considering the volume of threads we're working on, I think we can let the ones that are really difficult to get pics for slide without them.

I know! A comparison picture between the shot from LSOH we used and this shot of what PROBABLY actually happened!

The actual shot above this image, with some witty text!

The "happy ending" not only implies the apocalypse goes on as planned, but demonstrates Seymour getting away with murder AND lying to Audrey, who remains completely unaware of Seymour's actions. She found out the plant can talk and eats people, but she didn't find out the actual dark secret. So this picture demonstrates how truly unhappy the ending is.

What?

Chicken butt.

This is an image picking topic, good sir. We are picking an image.

The text is not witty and the photoshop job appears to have been done by you. How about a straight comparison image minus blathering and vitriol?

This image picking discussion is STILL up. Can't we just make a decision or close it and go imageless?
