Not a very strong image: Death Glare

I don't like any of the live-action examples proposed. It just ... doesn't look caricaturized enough. Facial expressions are subtle things, and page images need to be more than subtle.

An Ear Worm is like a Rickroll: It is never going to give you up.

Or maybe have tthe glarer be someone who likes kindly, to dramatizeit more?

I have nothing to add except this pic of Michelle Obama for the humor.

I'd take the Obama one, but the only problem with the current image is that it's too big. Image Links, put em their and shrink the current.

Modified Ura-nage, Torture Rack

Both William Pitt and Ms. Obama work for me.

It was either a penguin or a panda, but the choice is far less black and white than you would think!

Image shrunk. Surprised I didn't notice that sooner.

Crowner?

Crowner.

Crowner's hooked, no time to fill it right now.

Three examples so far. Come on, people.

More from the thread added...I didn't add everything, so if anyone's really attached to any of the pics that didn't get put in, add them.

Lotso, from Toy Story 3, is a champion at these. The two that stand out to me are one from the scene where Chatter Telephone describes security at Sunnyside, and his facial expression when he orders his minions to throw Woody and his friends into the dumpster.

Alternatively, perhaps we could use Fluttershy staring down a chicken to scare it into going back into the coop?

(Of these, my personal favourite is the first of the Lotso ones, though seeing the other characters seems to take away from it; I might edit it to look like just Lotso is in the pic later on.)

So it turns out I'm not that good at using freeform selection for cropping. o.o

If anyone more familiar with image editing than myself could find a way to soften the edges of that pic, that would very much be appreciated.

Eh, I'm not really sold on either the Lotso or Fluttershy pictures. Lotso just looks mildly annoyed, and Fluttershy just looks like she's squinting.

Anyone else? I can see where JT's coming from on the Fluttershy pic, but the first of the Lotso ones strikes me as way more intense than "annoyed."

We could really benefit from something that's halfway to Lightning Glare. Not something that just looks "miffed" or "annoyed".

So what can I pull up from GIS?

• Demotivator 1◊
• Demotivator 2
• Feed me, pitiful humans◊
• No idea what this is, but...◊
• Not bad at wiki size (but should probably cut out the 'pie' remark)
• Gaara◊
• Zoro◊

Of those, the second demotivator and the cat look the best.

Wrestling fangirl's stare is great...the rest don't have enough intensity behind them to me.

I think it would be funny to go with the cat one, if only for the ironic value. Yes, typically we go for demonstrating the trope, but I am not sure how picturable it is, and going for ironic once in a while is not too bad a thing.

That said, I still prefer the first of the Lotso ones and would still appreciate if someone more familiar with image editing could soften the edges of my newer version of it.

As long as Fluttershy's been brought up, I think this may be a better one◊.

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

Added to the crowner.

EDITED IN: The William Pitt pic strikes me as an especially bad option, since he looks more like he has a generic surprised expression than like he`s giving a death glare.

Very meh on that one.

Yeah that's pretty weak

I can only speak for myself, but I'm getting a definite death glare vibe from the William Pitt one.

I was too, that's why I suggested it.

Did they ever tell us why the crowner is such a bad counter?

Please.
