If the decision belongs to the community, then I will oblige by their sentiments. However, based on past events, I believe that the community doesn't really mind the animations being added in that particular space. My reason is that the purpose of the picture in that location is to show what the page is about, and a better view of the subject would be benefit the page (i.e. the 360' view). In the past, the animations of guns were added without the preapproval of the community nor were they asked for, but since there weren't any major objections voiced at the idea, people (like me) continued to upload the animations. The community didn't see any harm with such changes, and therefore silently accepted it. Similarly, I believe that you didn't have the preapproval of the community when you created the variants template to be implemented on every single gun page (nor did anyone asked you to make it), but since there were no harm done, the community silently accepted this change as well. Even now, you are removing real world trivia from gun pages that caught your eye (something I don't quite understand) without the preapproval of the community, but still the community is silently accepting it. My point is that the community accepts and welcomes changes as long as it doesn't do harm, and only when it does harm does the community objects the change. Since my little modification of the page does not bring about harm, it seems fine for me to do so. I can relate as to why you see the animations as being "shotty." Since there are only 3 pages so far with these animations, they look different from the rest, and therefore, a possible eyesore. But looking at the other character pages, I can see that they already look different from each other in varying degrees. So, since there seem to be a disorganized style (or none) in place, I would like to make them somewhat more uniform then what they currently are. It may be just 3 now, but the number will increase; like planting trees to restore a forest, they may look odd when first sprouting, but they'll create magic when their leaves appear. In short, I do not see a rule that stops me from putting animations in that particular spot, nor is the community voicing out against it.

(I would also like to thank anyone that actually read through this whirlpool of thoughts, and would appreciate it if no one points out anything about how horrible the organization and/or my grammar is. *bows*)
