Identity & Self-Relevance
- The real device on a real arm does the pulling.
- Fallout fans know that gadget on sight, and seeing it work in someone's hand feels like their world made real.
- The text just repeats the title, spending a whole surface on an idea already sold.
Title
The title adds the boast, his version beats the original, which the image cannot say.
Thumbnail
The thumbnail proves the device really exists and really works on a human arm.

What to avoid copying
