Category Suggestion: Transformation

Since people seem to be turning away from the "New Categories Needed" thread, I will simply post this proprosed category.

slightly off topic, but i like the sig - is it from the film "snakes on a plane"? that really seems like a silly film premise to me...

back on topic - i am not sure what you mean by transformation. do you mean like in ghostbusters, where they kill zooul, only for her to return as the stay puft marshmallow man?

Transformation is simple enough, when a victim (or killer) changes into another stronger form to fight before he faces his demise. However this could probably have a dual usage, as Captain Amazing and Max Reed's transformations actually caused their deaths.

The signature comes from a small rough cut of SoaP that I found on IFilm, I doubt that it's still there though. It can, however, be found on YouTube, Enter the key words "snakes" "plane "rough" "cut". (not in parentheses)

You mean this?

May also count for The Scorpion King in The Mummy Returns - he certainly didn't start as a 10ft. giant human scorpion.

Yeah but we never see him transform.

Matt,

You are correct about the Rough-cut, not so much about the scorpion king, as nothing during the events of The Zombie Returns actively causes him to change. I have not seen Scorpion King yet, but I would think that the change happens during that time period.

Also, do you have an icon made yet? Maybe a dung beetle!

It's just so Kafkaesque.

Not yet - but if anyone can create a GIF, then the possibilities for this one are endless.

I made a (non-animated) GIF, I don't know how to upload it though.

Send it to me and I'll upload to my FTP.

How? Your E-Mail is hidden.

Sent it in a PM to you.

I didn't I'm afraid - did you send it to Mouseburger?

OB

I sent it to Matt so that he could find how to upload it. If you want it I could send it to you for edits too.

There you go, I finally found a place to put it up ! I'm not too happy about the color scheme and philistines might not get it, so I think something animated may be more to the point.

Thanks for the efforts, but I can't see what this supposed to be. Getting a clear design within such a small area is not easy...

OB

It's a nod to Kafka's story about a man who turns in to a dung beetle if you are familiar with the story.

Yes, it's possibly a bit subtle for such a small image though.

How about:



OB

It's a good, straightforward image, if you approve of the category then this should be a good icon.
