He is calm while Rome is burning, I guess? It looks like fire in the background to me. Or maybe it is correct that he is a Nazi at Auschwitz, and he is being calm in the face of atrocities? Does he even look calm?
Weeeaaakkkk.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.Just get any page from Monster where someone's doing a horrific act with a placid look on their face.
The one that was on there before the current one is this: I honestly think it looks okay.

Fight smart, not fair.That one is just a bit too unclear, since it looks like the focus is on the mob, instead of on the serene guy. It needs the caption to even function.
Fight. Struggle. Endure. Suffer. LIVE.The Dissonant Serenity description says they are at the calm center of the storm. The guy with the drink doesn't look like he's involved in it at all, just watching.
I added the Amon Goeth pic because it's similar to the Johan Liebert pic except that it makes clearer that there's fire in the background. That said, we could probably do better than either.
Hmm... would juxtaposing an image of something non-serene with the serene response to it (coffee scene from Avatar comes to mind) be an option?

The Schindler's List image also looks like it has the wrong aspect ratio or something - like everything's stretched a bit vertically. FWIW, I found another image
from the movie. It's a better looking image, but IMO the "serenity" doesn't come through as well.
I vote for Deboss's pic, personally. The fire and the serenity are both a lot more clear than in the Johan pic, and frankly the current image is such low-resolution it looks horrible.
The mob picture isn't BAD, though. It could work too...
Any chance I could delete the current image until this is resolved, BTW? I know I'm being bitchy, but it just looks bad.

Formerly Nolan Burke. Natch.
How is it inference? There's a disaster going on the background, and she certainly looks serene to me, given the context.



I honestly have no idea what's going on behind him. It's linked to Schindler's List and he looks like a Nazi, so I guess he's at Auschwitz, but I swear I almost see Clover's face back there. He also doesn't look calm. He almost looks like he's about to sneeze.
Is this just me? I haven't pulled it, but here it is for reference:
