The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
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....

Winner.
 
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?

I can try when I have time. Super busy at work lately. Lots of OT. Anyone can jump in with ideas. Your stuff is kind of what I'm talking about. Clean design lets you fit more into the gif. Some of the past ones I've worked on had to be downresed a lot to get what people wanted into them (still works, but the quality suffers).

So is it going to be a certain theme villains, for example Bond villains, or just any movie bad guy out there?

Here's a quick one, Matt Greene as Hannibal Lecter :D

Could have been done better. Just a test

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.

Add Doughty to that list, too. ;)

Winnipeg and Vancouver fans can attest to that. :laugh:
