Officially lodging my support here for the Skull image—it's violent, got a clear image of Skull as heinous stuff is carried out for him while he wears a Slasher Smile, and it's got a bloody swastika to top off the Nazi depravity of one of the most recognizable villains in the MCU.
Compare to the current of...an Arc Villain of one of the debatably-canon tv shows where we don't even see the villain doing anything onscreen, requiring two separate images to showcase "he did something to woman on operating table that left her a bloodied mess." I think the Skull suggestion gets the point of "pure evil" across far crisper and far better.
No! That is NOT Solid Snake! Stop impersonating him!Skull image is good, my only concern is that it's not, well... an MCU picture. At least not as far as I can see.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallIt is though. It is from a Tie-In Comic. Similar to the one on Monster.GI Joe.
Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup threadI mean, I guess if it's canon with the MCU it works. It just seems strange to use an image that's not from the main medium of the work. But hey.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallI do wonder if there is a good caption. Like a line from the film to go along with the image.
Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup threadYeah, the image comes from a tie-in comic that's treated as canon, no different than how the DC Video Games CM page had one from a comic for awhile.
For a caption, the comic gives us a pretty good one about Schmidt:
Or a quote by Schmidt himself in that scene:
I personally like the first one. I feel it gets the trope across the best.
Ehhh, I kinda prefer Whitehalls image personally. It has a Touch more, 'Oomph' Factor to me personally, and I feel like it's clear enough what's going on, especially with the quote.
But I guess if I'm outvoted there the replacement is decent as well.

Bow to the Prototype


So this image came up in the thread and everyone seemed to really like it and want it to replace the current one.
