[edit] Stereotype vs Archetype

Isn't he more of an archetypal villain?68.107.83.19 01:53, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

That's a pretty modern looking Snidely - not the version that appeared in the original cartoons, is it? - DavidWBrooks 15:20, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Did he look like this ? - Pioneer-12 18:50, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Yes, yes, that's the villain! - DavidWBrooks 19:34, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Didn't he once admit to having a "thing" for tying women up?

In one of the cartoons he ties up Nell, then inspector Fenwick, then Dudley's horse, then himself! AnonMoos (talk) 20:14, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image

The picture that has been on this article is a stylish new one. It shows up in this Yahoo search twice: Snidely Whiplash. This one looks like it came from a WB type modern cartoon. He has had a green face, appeared in movies and if an IMDb listing available, many cartoons besides Dudley Do-Right. Ronbo76 17:37, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

It presumably shows up there because it's in our article, and people assumed it was Snidely. --NE2 17:54, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
I am fairly familar with all these incarnations. I doubt this is a mirror of our site. As per NE2 and my talkpages, Snidely has progressed from the rough 1969 drawings to the movie and this one which looks like it came from the WB. Trying to find a hard citation will be difficult because nothing definite has been written on him, the series or all the different media. Ronbo76 18:04, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
And both of those matches are blogs whose entries were written after our article first included the image. It's simply a case of Wikipedia being wrong and others copying the error. --NE2 18:06, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Disagree. But, as per my note on your talkpage, I will go with the flow. Ronbo76 18:09, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please don't use Image:Villianc.svg as a portrait of Snidely

Snidely Whiplash as shown in the cartoons actually has green skin -- and even more importantly, Image:Villianc.svg is a depiction of a generic melodrama villain stock character, and not really intended to be a specific portrait of Snidely. Previous confusion on this point led to Image:Villianc.svg being nominated for deletion on Wikimedia Commons. AnonMoos (talk) 20:12, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
