Duplicate Image: Truer To The Text

Bottom half is a dupe of Throne Made of X. I think Truer to the Text is less illustrative (it's one of those "caption-reliant but I'll let it slide due to the nature of the trope" cases IMO), but Throne Made of X is easier to replace: this shot◊ of the Iron Throne, or this one◊, or this boney one◊, or this lampshade (3rd to last panel)?

I have an idea for this page but I'm not going to be able to work on it right now. I quite like the current pic on Throne Made of X (and I just did a quality swap on it).

Finally got around to putting this together. If this doesn't work, then I've got something similar in mind.

Shouldn't it be compared to an adaptation that isn't true to the text too?

My other idea was a 3-panel head shot of comic!Dredd, Stallone!Dredd, and Urban!Dredd, with a red X on Stallone and a green check on Urban.

I think that would be more illustrative; 3 could be any of the Media Adaptation Tropes.

FYI, the image on Throne Made of X is actually a rough version; this is the final artwork.

It's an official image from The World of Ice & Fire, so we don't need permission.

Do we have permission to use it on Throne Made of X?

How about I create a collage of these◊ three images◊ to show how Bumblebee is closer to the original Transformers cartoon?

^ Closer than what?

Yea, comparing Optimus Prime's design between the original cartoon, the first three live-action films, and Bumblebee.

EDIT: The design for Bumblebee is closer to the original cartoon's design compared to the one from the other live-action films.

I like the sound of that.

Here's the collage and caption suggestion:

I like the idea, but at least on my phone, that pic looks like it’s going to be way too tall with the panels stacked vertically. Can they be sized down, possibly with a different version of 80s Optimus, and put side-by-side? Alternatively, having the same thigh-up crop on all three would be enough.

Nah, it's too big on my monitor as well.

It's quite big for me too, and the middle one bothers me as it's on a white (night-vision unfriendly) background.

I wonder if it's too small now. Also I just read the white background complaints and will remedy that later:

I can see the differences between each on my phone.

Not bad pending other ideas.

That looks good.

nice

I'll go with the latest.

Yes, but I'd have the caption with something like "2018: Simple and blocky again".

Done. Now, what color should I change the white background to?

The entire thing should be made transparent, but that may be tricky.
