Just a Face and a Caption: Make Way For The New Villains

I think the current is pretty reliant on people being familiar with Family Guy to get the trope from the image. I only know somewhat from Popcultural Osmosis, but it just looks like an angry monkey getting kicked in the face by a teenager.

Replacement suggestion, using different MCU villains. My question: is it obvious enough that Loki is depicted twice since he's not wearing his helmet in the bottom half?

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"

I think it works fine.

EDIT: For clarity - I think the current works fine, although I do think it needs a quality upgrade.

I know very little of Family Guy and I understood the image. It's fine.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested

Health sure is versatile. It's possible to be both light-headed and dim-witted. At the same time, no less.

I think the monkey's expression and the aggressive kid's violent behaviour make clear enough both that they're both villains and that the monkey's no match for the aggressive kid. There might be better examples out there (and I myself will look when I have the time) but I don't think the OP is as good as the current, let alone better.

While we're talking about the trope, though, can we please work on an alternative to the page quotation's "before Gunray can finish, Anakin finishes him off" wording? It feels so clunky.

Family Guy image is fine, just needs a severe quality boost.

[up] I agree, the wording should be changed.

Better yet, [Anakin kills Gunray] as a suggestion.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested. Both the monkey and the guy are clearly aggressive, and I'm not familiar with Family Guy.

As for the page quote, I agree that Brainulator's rewording is a big improvement. Also, I'm pretty sure the pothole in that text violates the policy against putting potholes in page quotes.

Feels like "Just a Face and a Caption" is being misused here.

Definitely not JAFAAC.

If it means anything, I swapped out the YouTube link in the caption for this video. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be the same thing, but I assume so.

This one's past the clocking point and the consensus is for the current, so I'm gonna go ahead and lock up.
