that's rough to hear 😅 luckily its good data!
i'm coming from #video-creators , i saw this so i'll elaborate on it more.
you're right. your thumbnail DOES do what was asked. (i don't know if your audience cares about rumbleverse - but i think the wrestling move inherently does engage audience curiosity)
❔ engages audience curiosity
✅ represents video well
✅ 2-3 elements
✅ doesn't repeat title in thumbnail
❌ keeps elements large
honestly here's what i'd say: most thumbnails operate like this. main lead + subject matter. zoomed in REALLY BIG. like: big enough to RARELY see the whole body. even when its blurred its so easy to see!
it's actually difficult to find thumbnails that DO have a full body in it. but when there is, you see just how MUCH of the frame it takes up
lastly: color. your background is highly detailed. that's ROUGH for thumbnails because there's so much variety in COLOR. so either make your own or find a REALLY simplistic (like 2 colors TOPS) background.
luckily you're drawing your thumbnail... so draw the background. simple one. look at how simple these background are! it's just a colored floor and wall! neat!
so here's how i'd make your thumbnail
