Perhaps this would be a better image: Apocalypse How

Go To

I don't know if the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in the Book of the Revelation to John are famous enough (That book is pretty damn mind screwy...) to avoid JAAFAC.

So, I suggest this instead:

Well that's a rather thin crust.

If people learned from their mistakes, there wouldn't be this thing called bad habits.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are definitely notable, recognizable, and understood by most people, even if they haven't read the Book of Revelations (which I haven't) or if they don't know that's where they originate from. Nor is it JAFAAC, as they're clearly trampling over the living and leaving only the dead in their wake.

The picture suggested now doesn't even hit the right notes. When I think of the apocalypse, I'm not thinking "yuppie in a fancy restaurant eating a planet with a knife and fork." To me, it follows Rule of Symbolism too closely and too obviously for this to be immediately associated as an apocalyptic event.

Well, the ruins underfoot probably help comprehension.

The current image is not JAFAAC. The proposed image looks like some sort of metaphore for something. It doesn't really fit at all.

Do we have an image for World Devourer or Horde of Alien Locusts yet? Your pic might go better over on one of those.

^Are you thinking of Planet Eater? And, yeah, that one has a picture already.

Yeah, it was Planet Eater. I knew we had something like it.

What about a picture of the Cretaceous-Tertiary Extinction Event (Ie a Asteroid Strike)?

I think we should replace the image on Planet Eater with this one. The other pic relies on a sign to get the message across.
