Unless we can find a pic of someone actually commenting about a character being this, I vote we leave it pic-less and let the quote suffice, as it's fairly explanatory. The pic definitely needs to go.
Pic does need to go.
Infinite Tree: an experimental storyThe bug in the corner is not a problem. The picture isn't very illustrative, though.

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.Wasn't this one of those ones chosen by a previous image pickin'?
Fight smart, not fair.... When all you have is a mallet and Super-Strength, you don't need a ladder to get apples?◊
That said, It doesn't necessarily need to have a lot of text, we could illustrate this with a small, fast guy (relative to the Unskilled, but Strong guy) avoiding a much bigger opponent's attacks while landing their own. Or with said big guy just punching through something like a Beehive Barrier.
Just tossing these out there: something like this fight between Cap and Hulk◊, albeit maybe brighter? Hmm, maybe this?◊
Or this one of Spiderman vs. Red Hulk?◊

Those show someone with skill owning someone who might be stronger (In fiction, Muscles Are Meaningless is often the norm).
Fight. Struggle. Endure. Suffer. LIVE.Problem with the Hulk is that he's on I Know Kung Fu. Is he skilled, or not?
The point of I Know Kung Fu is that a character without fighting skill suddenly gains it without any explanation.
So I guess it's kinda a before and after thing.

Fight. Struggle. Endure. Suffer. LIVE.Motion to pull
JAFAAC
Disagree, character is visibly very muscular. Combined with his general "smashy smashy" stance, I think it is good enough to stay on the page.
Fight smart, not fair.I personally agree with keeping it. It's a muscled up character who is just slamming things. That sums up the trope very well.
Improving as an author, one video at a time.I'm not seeing too much of a problem with the current pic either.
First key to interpreting a work: Things mean things.Oppose pulling.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.Opposed to pulling. The muscles, the expression and the stance all scream 'rampaging brute'.
I'll retract the pull motion, but I'm not convinced we can't find a better pic that actually comments on the trope.
Clock is set.
Clock's up; overall consensus is to keep the current pic. Locking up.
Unlocking so it can be relocked and properly Morgued.
Image has a watermark (And doesn't really show the unskilled part all that well).
Fight. Struggle. Endure. Suffer. LIVE.
