I included all options except for the one already on Insane Troll Logic. Also included "no pic" as an option.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"Crowner is leaning towards 16, so can we just swap it in and close the thread to lessen the backlog?
Keet cleanup
It will probably come to that. I cannot see this crowner ever ending with any image other than 16 at this point, as insane as that seems.
So happy we picked another Just a Face and a Caption image. That's just swell. I'm glad we went with the most recognizable image instead of one that's actually good.

Look, that really doesn't help. You'd think it would, but it doesn't. Just because the guy is showing a picture of Chewbacca in a court scene doesn't say anything about his argument. Copyright and image right disputes are a thing. Chewbacca very well could be discussed for legitimate reasons in a court setting. We need the words coming out of his mouth. And we need the context that brought these words about to get why it's disconnected. There's no getting around that.

"I think if you're capable of entertaining people, then you are doing a good thing. - Stan LeeI agree mate, but the votes decide at this stage...

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.I don't see any previous comments from you on this thread? Either way, we could always start a new thread later if we have a better suggestion. It's a hard trope to illustrate but the current image isn't terrible since at least a rant about Chewbacca in a courtroom (with everyone else staring confused) indicates something ridiculous happening.

Sorry, I meant a suggestion thread I made. And, yeah. It's quite far from perfect, but until we find another better image, 16 is here to stay.
But are they staring confused, because they look more like they're paying close attention= Ah, screw it...

Like Spark9 said, that's why we have BUPKIS.
~mightymewtron, I just now realized you were the one who suggested the image I was complaining about earlier. I'm sorry about what I said. I was pissed and probably wouldn't have posted that any other day. I know what it's like to see someone treat your suggestion like it's crap and not know why.
"I think if you're capable of entertaining people, then you are doing a good thing. - Stan LeeNah it's fine, it was just my effort to find a better version of the current image, so I'm not emotionally attached to it or anything. I've been thumped for getting too sarcastic before so it was more concern for your tone getting you in trouble than any personal offense.
I just don't think it's so misleading we need to remove any image altogether. But I could go either way as long as we get rid of the low-quality current. Illustrative or not, it's pretty grainy.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.I agree that the suggestion doesn't show that the argument involving Chewbacca is a nonsensical one (and this is coming from someone who has seen that episode — the case actually does involve copyright, but not for Star Wars), but the crowner doesn't have a BUPKIS option; the closest is an option to simply pull the current.

It has 'no pic for now', but I'll add BUPKIS if you like.
Anyway, the more time I spend on Image Pickin', the more convinced I get that images are problematic if they illustrate the trope title rather than the actual trope. And it strikes me that both the current and the suggested #16 do precisely that.
Edited by Spark9 on Aug 7th 2020 at 3:11:28 AM
Yeah, I was also thinking that images should not be unduly related to the trope namer especially when the trope is broader. I thus downvoted all Chewbacca suggestions in the crowner.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanI still think 16 illustrates the trope the best of any suggestions and is better than nothing, even if tropers can think of a very specific situation where Chewbacca could legitimately be presented to court.
Keet cleanup![]()
There have been cases of images being pulled because their choice was based on the name regardless of the Trope Namer, without taking the description into account (such as this one
, which I didn't post in). The current image on War Memorial was chosen not by a thread for that trope, but for The Dead Have Names (link to thread
), due to issues with the previous image for the latter and the replacement suggestion better fitting the former and being an improvement over the former's previous image.

I still don't like the current/16 conceptually, but if it's the best we got...
