New trope needs an image, should be easy: Video Game Trees Grow Poorly

All we need is a good shot of some small trees with another character for scale.

Here's a few screencaps to get us started: [1]◊ [2]◊ [3]◊ [4]◊

here is one from DQ IX◊

Bump.

Pretty much any of the images on the Animal Crossing wiki page for Trees would work. Perhaps this one?◊

Probably this of Runescape trees fit just fine.

Another thing we could try is a comparison shot of trees in a video game + real-life trees.

We could use a screenshot of a partially cut-down tree in Minecraft floating in the air.

That, or a comparison image.

^But the floating doesn't have anything to do with the trope...

Here are real life trees in comparison. In this case, different species of aspens.

I don't think the real life comparison helps anything. The average person has seen a tree before and they know what they look like in comparison to their own height.

The average person has seen a tree before

Somehow I find this line pretty hilarious, even though it makes sense in context.

Bump.

I'd say #3 from the first person's is the best so far. Rune Scape has a pretty proportional style, compared to Animal Crossing and the other pixel one.

Bump...#3 from the OP got added today. I don't have a problem with it; any objections?

I kinda like the DQIX example. It's bright and vibrant, very easy to see so there's no confusion between what is the tree and the background.

I like the one that got put up too. Is discussion still open, or can this thread be locked?

Are we good with the current pic or should we run a crowner?

Bump. Still like it.

Clock's set.

I also support the current Runescape pic.

We're done. Locking up.
