I'm not entirely sure this is what you meant but here's mine.

Your icon works just fine (and looks great :) ). I like leaving things open for interpretation (although it is more difficult for the more technical prompts) and my thought was that some foreground element (e.g. Loki) is in black/white while the rest / background is in colour. It could be a solid colour or just the regular background of the image that is still in colour.

Thank you and thanks!

I had thoughts of making Loki black and white and leaving the scene's background in color as you said, but that particular scene, I think he might have blended into the background a bit too much so yeah I removed the BG and used green as its always a color that is associated with him.

I have a question: I am going to be using screencaps from the Loki series, both seasons, and I want to know should be concerned about spoilers? The end of Season 2 was so GREAT and EPIC and I don't want to spoil it for someone who may not have scene it yet. Should I hide or like to the icon here or just like it as normal?

Sometimes a simple background works the best :)

When it comes to spoilers I'd say it depends - some crops might not reveal much of anything and others might be more revealing. If you think it might reveal too much and it's not been long enough yet, it might be better to just link to it and remark that it might spoil things.

I'm never too sure how long of a grace period there should be when it comes to spoilers: If a week is enough (especially when new episodes come out weekly) or if it should be longer. I think I personally tend to give it between 2 weeks and a month for TV shows and a bit longer for movies. I at least assume that the show was made available worldwide at the same time unlike years ago when I had to wait up to a year for new seasons of US shows to be aired in Germany
