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.
Keet cleanupOh 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.
I think that is an improvement...
That's a little better than the current.
(Annoyed grunt)
How the two of them are connected is not obvious from the imagery, but it's definitely an improvement. Tentative
Spiral out, keep going.Pull Current.
Tentative on suggestion.
, Those are both good.
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.
Spiral out, keep going.My suggestion included that aspect.
Keet cleanupI favor Hexed over Star Wars for the (apparent) lack of overlap with The Dragon.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"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?
It's from the Chapter 6 Closing Argument◊ (Danganronpa spoilers, obviously).
Keet cleanupI think the Hexed pic is a lot better for Voice for the Voiceless than that page's current pic.
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.
Clock is set.
Locking for inactivity/lack of consensus. I'll tag this one to reopen when crowners become active again.
This one's finally got a crowner; reopened for business.
No caption discussion; locking up. I'll leave the caption untagged.
Crown Description:
Nominations for replacement images:
Current image is pretty non-illustrative. We want to see a character as a spokesperson of a Hidden Villain.
