New trope! It's a contrast to Lantern Jaw of Justice and a Sister Trope to Villainous Cheekbones and Sinister Schnoz.

While it was still a draft, one troper suggested this image from Super Mario Bros.: [1]

Here are my own suggestions:

[up] He was my first thought, too, but I was worried that other tropers would be tired of seeing him, considering that he's in the page image for so many other tropes. Good pictures, though.

My main objection to Dick is that his chin looks a little too rounded/bulbous for this, at least based on that pic.

It's very long and rounded, though, which is a part of the trope that isn't apparent from the name. But if you think the girth is too much, that's your prerogative.

[up] Yeah, I'm starting to worry that the trope is a little unclear.

When I originally wrote the draft, I only meant to include characters whose chins are exaggeratedly long, like Dastardly, the Joker, the Wicked Witch of the West, etc

But I think people misinterpreted the name and started adding villains who are simply lean-faced, like Draco.

I'll definitely delete the "lean faced" examples and rewrite the description when I have time, but should the tripe be renamed?

[up] Actually, I decided to start a TRS thread to get some advice on revising the trope to make it more clear. I think we should wait for that to happen before we continue with this.

But I do love the idea of having that picture of Dick as the page image. I'd also like to create an Image Links page when we're done with this thread, because frankly, I think there are a lot of good suggestions so far.

[1]?

The big problem with the trope though is thin chins are used a lot in anime to just mean older or hot guy, it's also a key part of Noodle People's designs mainly in Josei, uses on bad guys tend to be purely incidental.

Motion to close this thread until the TRS thread and/or YKTTW crash rescue thread submission is resolved.
