Changed w/o discussion: Film.The Irishman

So I noticed The Irishman's poster has changed by Tropers/Electric_Lizard last two months without IP discussion. I like the original image better than the new one that Tropers/Electric_Lizard changed, but what do you think? Which images fit better? Original or new?

Original image:

New image:

Revert

Personally, I say keep current. It's a nice image, but could be improved by getting rid of the Netflix watermark.

Maybe

Keep the current but with the Netflix watermark removed

Prefer original, just pleases me more

I prefer the original. The current makes it look like a film from a very different era.

Revert.

Greatly prefer the current TBH. It's not too often we get painted posters these days, and it is far more interesting and striking than the original image, which is just three guys standing.

That said, the current doesn't look great quality-wise, so here's a cleaner, brighter variation without the watermarks and text:

9

9.1. A nice throwback.

My problem with 9 is all the white space.

In addition to the NV concerns, I think the textlessness of 9 works against it; the film's appeal was entirely "Scorsese getting the band back together, now on Netflix".

While I also understand the desire for painted posters, I don't think 350px is the best size to appreciate all the details anyway.

For these reasons I vote to revert.

I'd rather revert back to the original image. That's my opinion.

Agree with Future. I would like to revert. Sorry.

Crowner vote pls.

Just to throw in one more suggestion. Here's an edited version of the painted poster. With the Netflix and Academy Awards tags removed, but the cast and crew retained. It's also in its OG colors.

I still prefer the original due to the reasons I said before.

Crowner options (hollered):

1.1 (Original)◊

1.2 (Current)◊

9.1◊

21.1◊
