Tag/Pool Name: Images directly mimicking a scene

I've been idly thinking about this for a few weeks, but now that I'm no longer moving house, I can properly open up the conversation and maybe kickstart a decent name for this:
post #906198
post #715245
I'm certain I've seen other examples too.

As my comments on those images indicate, those are very clearly references back to specific pages of another work (the latter even disturbingly managing to be araki_hirohiko_(style)).

So what should this be called? My knee-jerk response is scene parody. Is this sufficient? Any objections?

And how shall it be explicitly defined? That is, at what point is it no longer a scene parody? I invoked the above two examples particularly because I find the degree to which they mimic the source material novel, but I realise not every scene parody would necessarily take so strongly after their originators and might even show different angles or interpretations of an event. Does something like post #1027879 count?

Another thought is that this may be a tag for the general and a pool of "spitting image" scene parodies like the first two.

Related tags may include yamcha_pose, seikan_hikou, ginyu_force_pose, are_you_talking_about_kuririn and probably a fair number of others.

i have nothing against scene parody and maybe a possible consequence to this is the implication scene parody -> parody.

but im a little curious to what extent the definition is. are we going for printed works (e.g. manga and novel) only like the examples above? or no particular media at all?

how about seizon senryaku particularly post #1000059 and post #968522?

if we manage to include them all as well, we might want to tweak the parody definition, "Parody implies a character is mimicking a scene, a dialogue, or another series, with the intention of being humorous", so that to make them distinguishable.

Well that's one of the things I'd like to establish here. I'm not interested in limiting it to only printed works-- that's just backwards and silly. post #667424? Totally in on this action; it's clearly a parody of that iconic Steamboat Willie scene (I mean, just look at this: https://www.google.com/search?q=steamboat willie&tbm=isch ) and thus worthy of a tag. Better yet, it's traceable to a particular timestamp so it even fits in my hypothetical pool.

As for the definition of parody, I'm slightly aghast that scenes aren't already be part of it: anime have parodied entire episodes of some other thing, to say nothing of all other media.

I'd say that the scene_parody would have to parody the art style of the orignal. Even if characters are in the same pose and such, if a parody of the original art style isn't used, I would just tag it as a regular parody.

So, something like seizon_senryaku wouldn't be a scene_parody, while something like post #974930 would be considered a scene_parody.

I'd also avoid using scene_parody with scenes where even if the pose and style is the same, what is actually happening is drastically different than the original.

For example, just_as_planned wouldn't be considered a scene_parody to me unless something actually went exactly as planned.

Compare post #996813, which wouldn't be a scene_parody in my opinion despite having the exact same pose and art style, versus post #603528.

TL;DR, I think a scene_parody should require both a style_parody of the original scene and a similar/relatable situation.

I don't see how forcing it to be that narrow would be helpful. If it's obviously meant to allude to or invoke a memorable scene from another series / media, that should be sufficient. The style shouldn't be important so long as it's obvious what is being done.

Actually, looking back, I'd retract what I said about the style.
