Should we use a photo from the Anniversary Prologue/ Epilogue for Thel's profi pic? It is canonically the most up to date.[[User:Lord 'Themee|Lord 'Themee]] ([[User talk:Lord 'Themee|talk]]) 10:53, 11 November 2014 (EST)

:I think so, that looks like a new armor design so we'll need an image either way.

::I think [[:File:H2A Thel Epilogue.png|this]] is probably the best we'll get until Halo 5.--[[User:Soul reaper|Soul reaper]] ([[User talk:Soul reaper|talk]]) 07:10, 15 November 2014 (EST)
:::I agree. The image is both photorealistic and canonically up-to-date. --[[User:Braidenvl|<span style="color:gray">'''''Our vengeance is at hand.'''''</span>]] [[File:Gravemind.svg|14px]] ([[User talk:Braidenvl|<span style="color:gray">Talk to me.</span>]]) 19:42, 15 November 2014 (EST)
::::I think this image is a bit more clear, the current one is kind of dark and you can barely see his face. [[User:Lord &#39;Themee|Lord &#39;Themee]] ([[User talk:Lord &#39;Themee|talk]]) 14:55, 25 November 2014 (EST)

::::::That's a tough one. The current one shows more of his armour/body, but this one isn't so dark and is a better face shot. [[User:Alex T Snow|Alex T Snow]] ([[User talk:Alex T Snow|talk]]) 22:56, 8 December 2014 (EST)

^^^that one is much better; not as dark and a good angle to show his face.[[Special:Contributions/70.190.250.193|70.190.250.193]] 16:25, 18 November 2015 (EST)
:That one is concept art (or similar) so it is less canonically correct, I am sure others have their own points. [[User:Alertfiend|Alertfiend]] - [[Blue Team|Team Chief]] 16:30, 18 November 2015 (EST)
:The ''Halo 2: Anniversary'' Thel is his canonical appearance. His appearance in ''Halo 5'' is just due to the fact they reused the Sangheili model for him as they didn't want to make a whole new model. -- [[User:Topal the Pilot|'''Topal the Pilot''']] [[File:Blueteam.png|20px]] <small>([[User talk:Topal the Pilot|<span style="color:green">'''Talk'''</span>]]|[[Special:Contributions/Topal the Pilot|<span style="color:green">'''Contribs'''</span>]])</small> 16:59, 18 November 2015 (EST)
 
I'm not so sure. Yes, they reused the unarmored Sangheili model from Spartan Ops in Halo 5 (bigger head, thicker body, unclosed mandibles, scaled skin, cuttlefish eyes.) rather than the Anniversary model (lankier body, longer neck, closed mandibles, unscaled skin, human-like eyes), but they also changed the armor considerably in Halo 5. It's bigger, a slightly different color, and has a closed helmet with a larger mouthguard. Given that the scenes with the new armor in Halo 2A were retconned out and so have some inconsistencies like Thel using a blue sword instead of the Prophet's Bane, I think the Halo 5 version would be the canonical one.

Halo 5 is the newer depiction therefore its the newest canon. . Cortanas facial appearances changes literally every game--[[User:Guardian117|Guardian117]] ([[User talk:Guardian117|talk]]) 17:48, 18 November 2015 (EST)
:I can't find it, but i'm sure either Grim or Catalog said the H2A version is the canon appearance, I could be mistaken though. Also, wouldn't the armor have to change as his body is a very different shape?  -- [[User:Topal the Pilot|'''Topal the Pilot''']] [[File:Blueteam.png|20px]] <small>([[User talk:Topal the Pilot|<span style="color:green">'''Talk'''</span>]]|[[Special:Contributions/Topal the Pilot|<span style="color:green">'''Contribs'''</span>]])</small> 18:22, 18 November 2015 (EST)
 
::I remember that Grim said that the H2A one is the canon appearance, I might look for it if I have the time. [[User:Alertfiend|Alertfiend]] - [[Blue Team|Team Chief]] 20:32, 18 November 2015 (EST)
 
:The H2A image may be dark, but the lighting on the proposed one is extremely flat and unnatural. The current one looks much more presentable. I also distinctly remember Grim's statement about the H2A model being his canon appearance, though I'm not quite sure where it was. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 00:28, 19 November 2015 (EST)
 
::I don't think this specific proposed image should be used, but the design shown here should be. The current image is dark and has very little [[Wikipedia:Headroom (photographic framing)|headroom]] (second time I get to say that today). An image of Thel from the last cutscene would probably be best, as it appears to be prerendered and so is the most detailed. If you find Grim's claim, then we'll go with that, but I'm curious as to whether he might've been referring to the armor or to his unarmored appearance.

:::Grim is for sure referring to Thel's physical appearance, rather then the armor.

== Relevant Photos to the Paragraph ==
 
User Japeth555, you are consistantly undoing my edit where I applied appropriate photos to what was being said. Please ''explain'' why you feel that it should be undone. I might even agree with you if you actually tell me your reasoning. Undoing it without any explaination is not a good argument.[[User:Editorguy|Editorguy]] ([[User talk:Editorguy|talk]]) 21:24, 15 May 2017 (EDT)
