Suggestion: Wrong Genre Savvy

I think I found an appropiate image for this page. Here's a strip from Swords where some guy thinks the Grail Knight's final trial from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade makes for a great life lesson.

If that’s the entire strip, we can’t use it per our copyright policy, and I’m not sure that two panels are sufficient.

2+4 might be enough

2+4 is better than nothing.

2+4 doesn't say why he's wrong about picking the wooden sword. I don't like this very much either, but what about 2+3?

^ I mean, does the third panel really add anything? It's just sort of a contextless "lol nope", which doesn't add anything the 4th panel doesn't, and it's less funny to boot.

In other words, neither panel says why he's wrong, but at least the 4th shows a bit more than someone just stating he's wrong.

I prefer 2+3.

EDIT: I didn't notice him turning into wood either, so 2+4 it is.

Oh, I didn't notice he was turning into wood in the last panel. Well, switching my vote to 2+4 then, even if it's still in "better than nothing" territory.

2+4 works.

I'll go with 2+4.

What's the difference again between Wrong Genre Savvy and Wrong Assumption?

The whole comic would be good, but only 2 4 is not enough. What about, as an alternate suggestion, panels 9, 10, 11, and 13 from this comic?

Edit: Maybe even better, cut out the first character from panel 9, so as to have less text and so the panels can be neatly arranged vertically.

That's not much more than a page quote, and way to wordy to even be a good page quote.

Agreed on the wordiness.

I suppose 2+4 works well enough.

Some users think the description of Wrong Assumption is wrong and its image should be moved back to Wrong Genre Savvy where it came from. But this would require TRS to settle.

Why not panels 1, 2, and 4? I think this arrangement would be better since panel 1 provides most of the context.

That would be a violation of our fair use guidelines. We avoid using more than half a work whenever possible.

Or, OP, if you're willing to contact the artist and get permission for the comic, that'd work, too.

I am gonna open a TRS thread for Wrong Assumption shortly with the likely outcome that the image can go back to Wrong Genre Savvy.

Bump. What's happening with regards to this?

Good question.

There wasn't enough consensus for anything so far and I am not sure when I will get around to bring Wrong Assumption to TRS. Vote to close until further notice.

In the meantime (and since it's not exactly a given that TRS will change this situation) there appears to be substantial agreement in this thread to use panels 2 and 4 of the given comic. Let's do that.
