The mixture is just a bit strange. Some scenes repeat quite often while others are rarer. I wonder why it's not just a simple repeating image with all the scenes we had (there were 17 afterall, I think).
 
this is the current image cdn.sstatic.net/Sites/movies/img/…
 
That's odd. But hopefully might be easier to fix.
I assume one of the limitations is that you can't just slowly fade it out under the logo. But the current comprise works sufficiently well (and even adds to the film-strip feeling a little when resizing the window and having the scenes scroll through under the logo). Maybe just give the site name a tiny little more breathing space left and right.
But...I'm positively suprised they really worked on this even before the public release of the responsive themes and after telling us on Meta Stack Exchange to start individual proposals for improvements after everything was live. Thank you very much for the consideration!
 
@NapoleonWilson I think that's an easy fix.
 
12:20 AM
But yes, that sure is more of what I initially had in mind.

Q: Cannibal movie (crazy white guy eats people on vacation)

Julia Lynn HumesThere was this movie where these 5/6 people break down at a gas station and walk to this B&B. Now, the owner is secretly a cannibal. He feeds his guests the former guests. When one of the guests find out what they're really eating, all hell breaks loose. There's this one specific scene where the ...

 
So I am alone for hating new header?
I liked @Paulie_D 's idea 1000 times better
cc@Catija
 
You hate it? Really? That's a bit strong considering it's very similar to that one.
 
sorry for using hard words but it looks ugly to me and mobile version is way turn off
Going behind the logo look weird, same strip repeat so many time and few never comes

Q: Mjolnir was Hela's weapon?

Mr.JI watched Thor: Ragnarok yesterday and saw this scene where Hela, look above the ceiling and saw Thor, Loki, and Odin. A picture of a "peaceful" Asgard.

Q: How realistic is qualifying for so many badges worn by Vicky Kaushal?

RajRecently saw the Uri: The Surgical Strike trailer starring Vicky Kaushal. I recognize some badges worn by him. Namely the paratrooper badge and special forces badge. But he is wearing many badges. How realistic is this depiction ?

 
10:18 AM
@AnkitSharma I think so, yes.
 
It's sure not perfect, but it's an improvlement.
And frankly, the mobile version just is shit, I doubt you could get around that.
 
I disliked it more then previous proposed one
 
I'd rather we just don't have a movie strip in the narrow mobile view.
 
@NapoleonWilson only if we reduce logo size and get moviereel in different way then current
But i hate this Top bar way way more
I want kurtis back
 
10:21 AM
Why not simply leave the images away as soon as the view is so small that both sidebars disappear?
 
I prefer this:
All 17 images, more logo visibility
Perfect
 
We don't really need all 17 to be visible all the time, though.
@AnkitSharma Frankly, the images are blurry and why are they so small and not just big enough for the whole top-bar?
 
But this is mess
@NapoleonWilson that was pauline's attempt , not mine
 
@AnkitSharma site logo is hidden with Movie themes
 
@AnkitSharma So what?
 
10:25 AM
@AnkitSharma gives me anxiety
@NogShine yeah so so so clumsy
 
@AnkitSharma As soon as you make the window narrower, what will happen to this one?
 
@NapoleonWilson we can strip moviereel with narrower screen
But this is abomination i.stack.imgur.com/Mwbjn.png
 
It sure is a hasty coverup too, but...I'm not sure there's too much more to expect by now and it's a coverup that at least works to a large degree.
The top-bar is quite limited altogether.
 
@NapoleonWilson but why to ruin logo
Current proposal ruin logo
 
Would it help if they gave the logo a bit more space left and right?
 
10:28 AM
Looks like punishment for complaining
 
I'd...hesitate to go that far maybe.
 
@NapoleonWilson or better have nothing in left and keep space in right more after logo
 
@AnkitSharma Why not use the space on the left? It's you who wants to desperately cram all 17 images into there?
 
@NapoleonWilson we cans still keep 17 if we go what paulin made and less blur it
And strip from right corner according to size
and skip in mobile
 
@NapoleonWilson Yes. Logo is cornered and theme color also became dark.
 
10:30 AM
And why do you constantly refuse to write his name properly even a single time? ;-)
 
@NapoleonWilson that break my flow
 
@NapoleonWilson Auto Correct ;-)
 
@NogShine Oh, that's true! O_O
 
I am regretting complaining about header now
 
I doubt you are. ;-)
 
10:33 AM
Yes I am
I hate this version way more
This new header giving me anxiety
And right now I have no place for more anxiety
 
I don't think you got that. ;-)
 
10:46 AM
@AnkitSharma They're also quite a bit pale.
I don't know if you realized that, but in general I'd be very careful with citing specific user-made examples as the best thing ever, since those thing are rarely ever completely coherent and 100% complete, but there is a risk that the designers (or developers) will just take them as given and think that's exactly what we want. Rather than that I'd rather they take our considerations and try to form a coherent design based on them.

Q: Is there any indication that New Olympians can be related to the Third Race?

Ankit SharmaIn Gargoyles all the Egyptian and Norse Gods who appeared came out to be Children of Oberon/Third Race. But what about Olympians? Is there any canon indication about it in any of the episode or in extended canon? Or out of universe hint? As New Olympians was one of the proposed spin-off.

12:57 PM
@Catija I think in this process some of the transparency in the individual images has gone lost, though, which adds to the overall darkification mentioned in my answer.
This makes me wonder if there actually exist proper untinted original versions of these images with proper transparency or if the current designers are just working off whatever natured already postprocessed images laying around various paths in the site's existing CSS structure.
There should be a proper design record of these things in official SE internal archives so that the actual SE employees don't have to scrape the existing webpages.
If there isn't, that might be worth creating for future situations similar to the current redesign process.
I already do that for user-made content and I'm not even developing the official site design of a million views per day website.
 
@NapoleonWilson Do you like the new color?
 
No, it's way too dark. Thanks for pointing that out. That's definitely a problem.
 
That reminds me of over cooked Tomato curry.

@AJ good question
 
@AJ Is it really answerable now?
Will check trailer and then decide
 
A J
I got the answer already.
 
@NapoleonWilson A lot of the files are gone, yes. They weren't all properly archived when Kurtis left, so we're having to use what we can find, which is definitely problematic. It won't happen moving forward as we're creating a proper place for them all now but... it does make things difficult.

Maybe let's not get the useless trailer questions out of hand, though.
 
"What do you think?" Eh?
 
It's not like the already released films don't generate enough speculative questions already.
 
4:23 PM
Hello @NapoleonWilson. While I appreciate your overriding edit to my rollback to some suggested edit to my question, isn't the question title better phrased as I originally wrote? Would I have any say in this matter (being the OP)? :: Polite inquiry with the white flags out ::
FWIW, I visited this Stack after a while today.
 
I still have problems giving a reason while rollback. ::_Sounds unrelated but it's related because we're talking about rollbacks_::
 
@TheDarkSide The problem is that what you originally wrote is simply incorrect. It's not proper English.
 
Please explain.
 
The proper word order in a question is different from the word order in a statement.
I don't know how else to explain it. That's just not a valid word order for a question in English.
 
4:40 PM
Alright. Case dropped.
(I don't get the point of objection, but don't care enough to pursue this further.)
Thanks, nevertheless.
:)
 
The sentence formation was grammatically wrong and it was corrected later in the suggested edit.
Simple
 
@TheDarkSide Are you saying that you think it is a proper English sentence?
 
@NapoleonWilson Maybe because I am a non-native English speaker. But anyways, not worth pursuing this any further. Thanks.
@NogShine Yay.

@Catija Are they still actively working on refining the top-bar or would it be advisable to open a genuine feature request and put the recent suggestions from my answer there?
 
@NapoleonWilson top bar or banner?
 
Is there a difference?
(Not the black thing.)
 
Top bar is the black bar with the drop downs.
 
I see. No, the banner.
 
Make a meta discussion.
 
8:42 PM
I feared that. Good I asked, though. Thank you.
@Catija Would it be preferable to concentrate on a single issue rather than the design as a whole?
(Though, I guess in the latter case it would be more of a repetition of the existing announcement maybe.)
 
I wrote up some guidance wit links to examples on MSE. It's featured. Look at the DBA example.
 
Also, what are the different possibilities for where the banner image can be anchored (i.e. left window, left content area, right window,...)? Or would it be preferable to ask that in an answer to the customization encouragement question on Meta Stack Exchange?
@Catija Ah, found it, thank you.
 
I'm mobile right now and my battery is dying but I'll be at my computer in a bit... I've got some info on that...
 
Okay, don't sweat it. I'll probably drive home for >1 hour now anyway.
And for later, I saw design would (obviously) be a good idea for tagging. But would feature-request be preferable over discussion for SE-visibility?
 
9:30 PM
@NapoleonWilson I'm not completely sure but I think there are a few different elements to it... the difficulty is getting them to do what you want. It might help to look at the elements in the Worldbuilding banner. The behavior of the city is special... I'm not sure how it's anchored but you can see that sometimes the city stays the same distance from the logo and sometimes it moves... the city has a max distance but will get closer as the page narrows.
So, right now, the logo is kind of oddly shaped... the logo itself is creating the frame for the reel, giving it the rounded corners so that it's more designed.
