My main (and only real) objection to the pic on Amazonian Beauty is that, to me, it's ass ugly. The girl on the right edge of the pic...her face is fucked up.

Is it bad enough to warrant a thread? because that wasn't my first choice when we were deciding images for that trope and I would love to replace it.
Anyway, I don't really see an huge problem with the current pic. It illustrate the trope, maybe not super well, but about as good as it's gonna get.

It's not so much that there's a problem with the current pic for AC, as that there's a problem between the two tropes. A) the Amazon Chaser pic doesn't illustrate the difference between the two, and B) it would work better as a pic for Amazonian Beauty.

that's just an example of Effortless Amazonian Lift.
Amazonian Beauty and Amazon Chaser does have a lot similarities and overlap. How this pic of barda◊ suggested in the previous thread.

Ha, had no idea that trope existed. Still, he's got a dopey grin on his face that I think conveys that he's enjoying himself.
I think your suggestions's too busy, and when it's shrunk down the guy will barely be visible (let alone his speech bubble). On exactly the right lines, though.

I think we need an example who is neither Stripperiffic nor an Amazonian Beauty. Anyone have any pictures of realistic female soldiers with civilian boyfriends?
Edit: Yes, Firefly counts but I couldn't find a good freezeframe.

I spent ages trying to find a good Gender Flip'd Leg Cling, but the one I posted earlier was all I could find. I was kind of surprised, you'd think it would be an obvious promotional shot for any warrior-woman based show like Xena or Buffy.

Keep both as-is.
Keep both as-is.
Why is a new pic needed? Amazon beauty is supposed to be a hot and muscular girl female while Amazon chaser is someone explicitly interested in a girl for her strength. The current pic illustrates it pretty well unless you want to go the viewers are morons route and have someone explicitly state "strong=interested in a relationship" in the picture.

Some things are meant to be eatenAgree that both images can stay where they are.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman@johnnye: I'd just like to thank you for posting that Sourcery image. Finished reading the book yesterday. Sometimes the world is funny like that.
Much as I'd like to see the image of Amazonian Beauty replaced, She-Hulk works fine on Amazon Chaser. Or at least adequately.
"Silent Hill always gives the best presents." -agentjr "Death feels like acoustic guitar." -helloweenI'm sure there's a picture of Big Barda and Mr. Miracle floating around the internet somewhere that would work for this page.
Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.Keep both as is.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.The consensus appears to be to keep both pics on their respective pages...if there aren't any huge objections by this time tomorrow, I'll lock this up.
Hearing nothing else, let's lock up.
Being an Amazonian Beauty is irrelevant. Unless she's combat-ready it's not this trope.
