Rename

Is there any reason we can't rename this file? It doesn't match up with other MK64 filenames. MegaBowser64 (talk) 13:24, May 16, 2024 (EDT)

Wait, this filename is NOT associated with the Wario Land 2 form of the same name?! How did this slide under the radar? rend (talk) (edits) 13:31, May 16, 2024 (EDT)

Well, Wario is being crazy here. He's eating his hat! SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA) (talk) 13:33, May 16, 2024 (EDT)

Generally speaking, the wiki's stance is "if a file doesn't need to be renamed, don't." This keeps pointless move wars from happening. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:23, May 16, 2024 (EDT)

Yeah, and WARIO's being CRAZY because he's eating his hat! SONIC123CDMANIA+&K(B&ATSA) (talk) 15:19, May 16, 2024 (EDT)

I mean, one could argue this file needs to be renamed, for its name misrepresents what it displays. As mentioned before, we do in fact have something called Crazy Wario, which has absolutely nothing to do with Mario Kart 64. When someone just sees the filename and not the file itself, "Crazy Wario.png", one would think this is an image or artwork for the Wario Land II transformation, and not Wario's losing mugshot in Mario Kart 64.
I could also argue that the name "Crazy Wario.png" doesn't even fit this particular image well. Wario isn't being "crazy" here, he's being displayed here as furious. Furious, because he lost, and so furious that he begun eating his hat in frustration. This kind of reminds me of the Scrooge McDuck character John D. Rockerduck, who in Italian stories also tends to eat his hat in frustration whenever he loses to Scrooge. Moreover, there's an idiom using the phrase "I'll eat my hat", which means that you're extremely sure of something not happening (e.g. "I'll eat my hat if I lose!"). One could presume Wario has said something like this, given how he's eating his hat here; so it may have nothing to do with craziness at all. rend (talk) (edits) 17:27, May 17, 2024 (EDT)
