I can't think of a good image for this one, but it may need a side-by-side comparison. Current image:

Also, there are a number JAFAAC images I have on my To Do List. I should probably space out submitting those to the forum, rather than dumping them all at once, correct?

I think, this is just me, we wouldn't know it from looking at Giles that he was a young Bad Ass called Ripper. Nonetheless if we can find a better image then feel free to suggest it. I just liked that one, enough to reup it if there were no objections.

I added the image back as there was no concensus against it. I'm happy to discuss it further, but I figure we may as well have something up while we try and work out if there is a better image to use.

It's JAFAAC. That makes it a bad image. It's in the Image Pickin' rules.

Yes, that was a bad image. Pull with extreme prejudice.

Don't take life too seriously. It's only a temporary situation.

Is there an image that you think would work better? If at all possible I think we should have one, and Giles is a good example. Perhaps if we ust find one that isn't JAFAAC.

Being an example is irrelevant. What matters is that it demonstrates the trope.

And no image at all is better than a bad one.

To add aconstructive idea to this thread, I think maybe a sequential image might be best. We can take Giles too - just take a pic of him in the episode Band Candy and a normal pic.

Another idea, I know there is a comic collected in the Buffy Omnibus volume 1 (if anyone has it close by and want to scan it, it's toward the end I think) when you have Old Giles facing agaisnt Young Giles. They are both in the same panel, so it might work

I say we call a vote. That's the best way to resolve any issue. I'm not overly fussed but if it's an issue put down what you want and the majority has the page edited the way they want it.

There aren't any proposals on the page, what are we supposed to vote on?

We've had a few suggestions, there was a composite image of a younger and older Giles for one, as well as an image from the comics. I may be wrong in saying this, it may even be wrong to bring it up. If we were allowed the privilege to suggest what we want on the page and we abide by what the majority want then is that not the best solution?

The general idea is to link to or post pictures that look appropriate to you. Then we vote.

What's precedent ever done for us?

Can we do that then? If anyone has ideas on what could work may we see them?

Why isn't it?

I mean sure, I can't exactly think of any good examples, but someone being a delinquent as a teen and a cleaner, nicer guy (like, I dunno, a smiling dude in a suit) is one thing I can think of.
