Current image is pretty non-illustrative. We want to see a character as a spokesperson of a Hidden Villain.

The pic/caption combo is a weak Keep Until Better Image Suggested for me, but I agree that we need something better.

How about this from Danganronpa? The caption just explains what it is for this thread; it's not an actual caption proposal.

Oh yay, this has been on my thread-to-make list for a while. Current may as well be JAFAAC. Doesn't have to be villainous, though.

[up]I think that is an improvement...

[up][up] That's a little better than the current.

How the two of them are connected is not obvious from the imagery, but it's definitely an improvement. Tentative [tup]

Spiral out, keep going.

Pull Current.

Tentative [tup] on suggestion.

This paired with a caption?

I think Palps and Vader is clearer than the Hexed example; I didn't immediately catch that she was speaking through him.

Judging by the trope description, the suggestions seem to be lacking in He Who Must Not Be Seen aspect.

I favor Hexed over Star Wars for the (apparent) lack of overlap with The Dragon.

Is Hexed overlapping with Voice for the Voiceless? Or some other trope where a mute character "speaks" through another character?

So far, 3.1 has my support for best illustrating the trope without relying on speech bubbles.

What's the source for the top image in 3?

I think the Hexed pic is a lot better for Voice for the Voiceless than that page's current pic.

[up] Eh, I'm not sure. On one hand, Hexed benefits from the voiceless character having a covered mouth while the speech bubbles (apparently spoken by her) are coming from her companion instead. On the other hand, I'm admittedly partial to the way the current illustrates the trope visually with Navi's speech bubble covering up Link's empty speech bubble.

Locking for inactivity/lack of consensus. I'll tag this one to reopen when crowners become active again.

The thread never got bumped but there's a clear winner. The new pic's in and tagged...I know the proposed caption was just a placeholder, any other ideas?

No caption discussion; locking up. I'll leave the caption untagged.
