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

I don’t like this image. Whitehall’s image was better in my book.

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.

It is though. It is from a Tie-In Comic. Similar to the one on Monster.GI Joe.

I 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.

I do wonder if there is a good caption. Like a line from the film to go along with the image.

Yeah, 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:

"The serum did not fail. It did exactly what it was designed to do. It enhances what is already within. It is Herr Schmidt who has failed at being human."

Or a quote by Schmidt himself in that scene:

"There is no S.A. Not after tonight. For you, this is the Night of Long Knives. The only way the army would support Der Führer's regime was if your stormtroopers were eliminated. The Schutzstaffel is more than happy to oblige."

No! That is NOT Solid Snake! Stop impersonating him!

[up] 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.

Another quote suggestion: The current MCU page quote:

"Johann Schmidt belongs in a bug house. He thinks he's a God and he's willing to blow up half the world to prove it, starting with the U.S.A."

I lean toward 13.1 for the caption; the pic's in and tagged.

I like 13.1 For the caption. Sounds more monstrous
