Does Not Illustrate: Unnecessary Makeover

This is a YMMV trope whose image is not In-Universe. Naturally, the image does not show that it is perceived as "unnecessary".

I've always thought this image was too similar to the one on Beautiful All Along.

From the panels pitched in the previous thread (text might need to be bigger):

Keep. Pages on Audience Reactions don't always need to show the audience reacting.

Pull it, it seems like JAFAAC.

[up][up] But considering how many appearance tropes get misused for "anyone that some troper finds hot", and how we have lengthy cleanup threads for that ... perhaps they should.

[tup] to the suggestion.

I'm fine with the current, not keen on the suggestion, but would be open to other suggestions.

This is a YMMV trope, so it doesn't need to be in-universe. I also don't like the suggestion. The current is OK.

Any other thoughts on how it's so similar to the image on Beautiful All Along? IMO an expressed opinion would be needed to better differentiate the two.

Current could work with a better caption mentioning how fans related more to her goth persona.

[tdown] to 3 because it's too wordy (and hard to read) and makes it look like an objective trope.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Don't we have YMMV pages with in-universe opinions?

Like this. However, there's no real segue or contrast close to this strip and I think it is sufficiently implied in the dialogue and his facial expressions that a makeover took place. We can add something about the cardigans in the caption to imply she looked more introverted and frumpier before.

Note that this is an audience reaction trope. An in-universe reaction may confuse about the scope.

Do we actually have an in-universe version of this trope?

[up][up]No, I meant, a person tried to pull a Beautiful All Along, but the other characters actually prefer their old appearance, like what's depicted in @12.
