The picture specifically mentioned that it is showing angels. Angels are only considered gods in some settings so I think this picture should be replaced. What about you guys?

Previous thread. I think it's a decent Keep Until Better Image Suggested case.

Wouldn't the current work better under Our Angels Are Different since it shows several different angels hence getting the different part across.

It probably would.

So this trope is supposed to be "Common attributes and features of Gods".

The image currently links to the Shin Megami Tensei franchise, but the entry itself on the page makes no mention that the gods all have angel wings as a common descriptor of their appearance.

How about this image?

I don't know how to directly send the image. If someone could show me I would appreciate it.

[up] That pic is a bit cluttered and the text is hard to read.

[up][up] Yeah, I don't think that's going to look good at wiki size, cropped or not.

The pictures show angels, not gods. In the franchise itself, the angels all serve capital-G God, and they're against other pagan gods. Even if they're all considered the same thing, metaphysically, the angels don't consider themselves gods.

To keep the debate going here's a suggestion of the elder gods from Runescape as they create planets.

From left to right: Ful (Constancy and fire), Jas(Sand, air and progression), and Bik(Alteration and earth).

Thoughts on it? My only worry is that some people might get confused with Elemental Embodiment

[up] That image is fantastic. I'd love for you to use that image.

So anyone more up for my suggestion of moving the current to Our Angels Are Different

I think it's a reasonable suggestion as it shows multiple different angels instead of one single being. The caption could also still be used.

I guess 12 works.

12. [tup]

Also support moving current to Our Angels Are Different. [tup]

12 would work with a good caption. I'd be okay with replacing the pic on Our Angels Are Different with the current here.

12 for Our Gods Are Different, but I'm against moving the current to Our Angels Are Different. Having one angel that is vastly different from the standard design is more illustrative than having several angels that don't differ much from it.

Spiral out, keep going.

[up][up] That's a fair point, and the more I think about it, the more I agree.

The clock's up and there's enough consensus for 12, so it's in and tagged. I'll add the former pic to the Image Links page on Our Angels Are Different. Locking up.
