This image does nothing to demonstrate this trope. The caption has to pretty much explain she's an example.

Whew. Yeah, yank this image.

Yep, JAFAAC all the way. Any suggestions on a replacement?

If an image does get chosen it'd probably still need a caption, wouldn't it?

I'm not sure I can think of anything that would work without having multiple frames and an explanation.

So basically for this we need a group shot from the source material, then we need roughly the same group shot in an adaptation with the New Character X added into it and then a third from the source material with that same New Character X added into it.

[up]That would be ideal I think.

Well I got nothing, I had an idea for Mei Narusegawa in Love Hina or Chika in Hidamari Sketch but cant find crap. Mei's immigrant self is only really in the background of the manga ><.

Also would characters who first appeared in explicitly canon prequel and/or sequel works but in a different medium fit? If not then this page needs a repairshop. Reading it makes it seem like they do not fit but lots are on there.

Until we get something suitable, pull. The image relies too much on the caption.

The pic's pulled and the page is tagged to come here for discussion.

This is Sunset Shimmer. She is not part of the main series. (Yet.) The fact that she enters a portal afterwards proves it.

Okay, looking at the examples, I have a few ideas, but they will require assembly. I'm thinking of doing a format of "X's introduction in adaptation" followed by "X in canon material". Will this work?

It needs to explicitly show that the character was originally missing in the original work.

I'm afraid it'll be too difficult, if not impossible, to do that. Also, it'll probably be a chore to find a perfect "cast sans X" to implement to a potential image. If you can find a good set with those requirements you stated, go right ahead.

For now, I'll go ahead and link what I got. All three involve either a Dolled-Up Installment, a spinoff/crossover, or alternate medium adaptation for the original appearance, since I feel it's better—and a lot less strenuous—than "entire cast sans X" "X in adaptation" "entire cast with X".

[down] Whoops. Should be better.

Something like 17.1 is a good place to start.

Btw 17.3 links to the same picture as 17.2.

A collage of Harley Quinn from Batman Tas and the comic?

[up] if we can get that to work, that's another possibility...

Thankfully, unlike in some tropes, speech bubble readability isn't a factor. tongue

Bump. So is Canon Immigrant something that can be adequately shown in an image, or not?

^^ I wouldn't say it's impossible, but incredibly complex, yes. I'm gonna go with BUPKIS.

Don't like any of the suggestions since they all can show completely different tropes. The fact that there's very few similarities in the 3 images in @17 shows that the trope is probably impossible to picture without some sort of lampshade
