This doesn't make any sense to me.

"badass" doesn't anything in after used end fail be fine.

concurring

it looks like the point of the image was that you're shooting your self, while the trope is more about Hollywood Gun Jamming

This is a trope about guns that don't work or are otherwise poorly designed. Its not just about jamming, its about misfiring, exploding and otherwise being unrealistically dangerous, the picture is perfect.

The current image caption made me laugh for about a full minute.

Bump. I'm still not convinced that the pic fits the trope.

It really doesn't...it's more of a caricature of the trope than an example.

Let's do this properly.

Motion to pull

Pic doesn't really demonstrate the trope.

Support.

Question: is this specifically guns, or can I submit a picture of a missile going crazy?

[up] I think guns are the general focus, but I haven't checked the page to see if any other kind of weapon counts, so go for it.

Oh, so 'tis...hmmm...well, I'm still not 100% on it, but it's better than the current. I'd say crop the third panel and put the caption in quotation marks if it's the actual dialogue from the scene.

What kind of crop did you have in mind? I mostly had that because the right angle of the thrust makes me giggle. I could also use a black background if you prefer it over the white one.

I support the pull and it being replaced with the haywire rocket.

I oppose the pull and oppose the rename. Seriously, what is with you people and alliteration?

That said, the current image looks even better with the new(stupider) name.

I fixed the tag. That said, I can't seem to find a TRS thread for renaming the trope.

We needed to wrap this a ways back...setting a new clock. Anyone else for/against the pic?

Hearing no further support, let's just wrap this on move on.
