I see the Awesomeness.
So should we just keep this imageless, or should we try to find a new image?

Hi
We can probably find an image, we just haven't had one suggested yet.
Are we looking for a pic of a character in the act of slaying monsters or would it be OK to use a caption to convey the trope?
I see the Awesomeness.
It's not about slaying monsters. It's about how fighting monsters can result in becoming one.
Fight smart, not fair.

Good examples, but the images don't really illustrate the trope on their own.
This is really hard to picture.
Rhymes with "Protracted."

Keep in mind that this trope isn't about actual monsters; That's And Then John Was a Zombie.
This implies, quite correctly, that my mind is dark and damp and full of tiny translucent fish.

The trope doesn't apply to Miki Sayaka since what made her like that(insane with the smile and all) isn't revenge/fighting too much.
If people learned from their mistakes, there wouldn't be this thing called bad habits.
Gentleman Troper!
How about this:

It's amusing, but not the trope.
An Ear Worm is like a Rickroll: It is never going to give you up.

Sorry, the pic worked when I went there. But yeah, that's the one. ![[down]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/smiles/arrow_down.png "[down]"){kind=icon}

Breathe in deep, relax, open your mind. Think of the picture you tried to link, and allow me to place my index finger on your forehead...
Eh, I'm not sure... I think we should avoid all images depicting literal monsters, just to prevent trope misuse.

AMEN!
Theres an I Am Legend graphic novel out there. In it theres a perfect shot of the protagonist and the vampire antagonist yelling at eachother, each looking scary as hell.
I kick arse for the Lord!
The quiet majority
non picturable
There comes a time when one must decide: should I set that on fire, or not?
How about paladins killing goblin children and elders in Order Of The Stick: Start Of Darkness?
:(
This one
from the examples is a parody.

That one would be great. I don't think there's any way to make it work without using the entirety of the strip though.
How does the image convey a hero acting antagonistically for those not familiar with Street Fighter?
