Just a Face and a Caption: Funny.Fire Emblem Heroes

Last time there was an IP thread for this subpage, there was a suggestion involving Narcian's damage art that was fielded in the Image Suggestions thread but faltered. An alternate was given in the form of Xander's Spring variant, yet that didn't get traction.

Now, recently a different image was added, and...what. All I see is Oliver from the Tellius games getting damaged, which I hardly find amusing in the slightest. I'm sure anyone who hasn't played would struggle to find something funny, especially with Oliver being the resident Gonk. Doesn't help that parts of the pic are covering folders in a mobile browser in desktop mode.

I stated before that it's going to be tough due to the nature of the game, but with the game having a web manga (which launched some time after the previously linked IP thread), we now have more options. I won't be able to dig through for replacements at this time, though I might tomorrow, but I'm wondering about what others think. Pull pending a replacement?

There's an element of silliness about the current, but I'm sure there's got to be something better out there so I'm fine with pulling the pic.

Unless there's an actual better image, I give this one a weak keep. It was likely meant to be comedic, especially since Clothing Damage with ugly characters tends to be used as humor.

Yeah, now that you two mention it, I kinda see what you're getting at. Thankfully I have finished the errands needed, so will see about possible replacements and whether they're better than the current.

Update: Okay, came up with two ideas, so we can judge whether they're better. Options:

Ingame: Effie with Carrot lance◊

Web Manga: Paper mache deception◊

I do like the carrot lance...if it doesn't get enough consensus here, is there another trope that it would work for?

I don't really get the second one.

4.1 could work for a trope called Improbable Weapon User, or at least its video game subpage. I still prefer the current image for the Funny page.

Looking at that page, if we only go with one pic, I think 4.1's better than the current.

4.1 is better suited for Edible Bludgeon.

I'm fine with the current image on the Heroes page.

I actually think a funny image would be to use the conversation between Love Abounds Lyn and Hector.

Lyn: Delicate is right! Look at this gift box I've got... Using weapons like these makes the festival more fun, though. What have you got, Hector?

Hector: Armads.

Lyn: You brought your battle-axe to the festival?

Hector: Sure I did. You said we'd be fighting in a tournament. What did you expect me to do? In fact, I've got some questions for you... Why are you using those weapons? Do you even want to win?

That probably won't look good at wiki size, plus it might as well be a page quote considering how static the images are.
