Changed w/o discussion: French Maid Outfit

Old pic:

CWD by Shai Pa. This thread is more of a formality because most people, me included, prefer the current.

Unlocking.

for the the current image.

Macron's notes

Why does it look like a badly-filtered BTS image, though? Is there a good shot from the work itself?

The old one was likely a stock image, so the change is good, pending other suggestions.

I'd like to apologize for all this.

Current is not from the movie. This one is:

I looked up the image and yeah it’s not from the movie itself.

When I was looking for better image for Yvette, I came across the one that’s on French Maid (which is really good).

As an aside, I don’t know why French Maid Outfit and French Maid are separate tropes to begin with but that’s neither here nor there…

Was but works

Macron's notes

I’m a bit iffy on two extremely similar tropes displaying the same character, actually.

If she's the literal poster girl for French Maid, then it would be best if she isn't on French Maid Outfit.

The She-Hulk example, text can be cropped but I like it for the Gratuitous French, and that it's an overly-tight costume on purpose.

There's an episode of The Big Bang Theory where Sheldon wears one, I think showing a man in the costume could help make the difference more obvious.

The suggestion in 5 is better than the current in French Maid because it shows her doing maid stuff.

EDIT: 'd, 8 also works for French Maid Outfit.

I'd like to apologize for all this.

Yeah, it’s best not to use the same character for both tropes.

8 works well enough.

Macron's notes

Without the speech bubbles, but I'm fine either leaving or keeping them.

Full panel with text:

Nah, I think the text bubbles help in this instance.

I'd like to apologize for all this.

8 as is.

(Annoyed grunt)

I prefer the version without the speech bubbles. We can use some of it as a caption (first sentence for example) .

The universe is under no obligation to make sense to us.

imho a character speaking gives them characterization, which fits more into French Maid. French Maid Outfit is a costume trope.

e: Fair enough.

But in this case, her speech confirms that it's a costume, and she's not a maid.

I agree with Synch here.

Thoughts on moving 5 to French Maid?

I'd like to apologize for all this.

5's an improvement on the one that's there, so

For French Maid Outfit, 8. The full panel is too tall, but the speech bubbles help clarifying that she's not an actual maid.

Bump. There's more than enough consensus to put 8 on French Maid Outfit, but let's get a couple more eyes on the other option in the green.
