I say embrace the hate and roll with the villains theme. If the Ducks did the horror character theme previously, then:
1. They most likely did it poorly.
2. Horror movie characters and villains are two totally different things, but with some crossover.
That Carter one is an awesome example of how cool it could be, far as I know the Batman franchise isn't horror-based....
Totally on board with villains. If we do it, let's make them great avatars with a strong and funny concept around the villains theme...something clever. I'd love if we had the best playoff avatars on HF (a spot usually reserved for the sharks unfortunately). The simpler the colors and graphics and the stronger the theme, the more we can do with the gif.
Alright, sweet.
So you're making a few of those to start us off, I'd assume?

Just Trying out something random for ideas. It doesn't have to look like this. I really like what savemefromtears is doing. We just need to somehow make it work for playoff avatars.
The more I think about it, I don't know how we can stretch "villains" out to every Kings player. I know HF thinks Brown and Nolan are trash, but beyond that? Maybe Stoll? Clifford? Greene? Not sure who else. I don't think HF really thinks we're a whole team of villains per se.
It got me thinking what if we did something similar. Not necessarily 'villains', but just what HF thinks of the players. Brown is dirty; Kopitar is overrated; Richards is slowing down; Carter only scores in blowouts; etc. Maybe like "HF Truth" or "Fact / HF Fact". Something along those lines.
