Blackwood's death scene? : My Death Is Just The Beginning

If anybody has seen the recent Sherlock Holmes movie, do they think that the scene where Blackwood is about to be hanged and his final words are pretty much the trope title word for word, with his face framed in the noose, would be a good image for this trope? I may have Fan Myopia, I don't know, just every time I read the trope title I hear it in his voice and think of that picture. Unfortunately I can't find the actual image right now, I'll just have to hope people know what I'm talking about. I'll come back later and upload it.

Good example, but without the context or dialogue, the image wouldn't be particularly indicative of the trope. Just a dodgy-looking bloke getting hanged.

Why is the link taking me to an empty trope page?

It should be My Death Is Just the Beginning.

Link fixed.

I'm not sure Blackwell is even an example, actually. Does it count if he fakes his death?

Where is the pic?

I am not seeing it in history either.

He's suggesting it...

Is it to late to enact a trolling retcon?

I honestly don't think that scene would work sans dialogue.

A picture showing Zemus getting killed and turning into Zeromus in Final Fantasy IV would work, as it was his very plan to be killed off in order to return in a One Wing Angel form.

Okay, first off, the OP's suggestion sounds a lot like a spoiler of some kind. We really don't like those as images because you can't unsee the spoiler image.

Second, I'm not sure how to do this.

The suggested image is like the third scene in the movie, made it into the trailers, and drives the whole plot. So it's not really a spoiler.

That being said, it wouldn't really work, since there's nothing obvious other than his speech indicating this trope.

Ok, as far as I'm concerned, my question has been answered. Thanks everyone, and I agree that it probably isn't the best image to use.

What about panel 11 from this Goblins strip? It would be a spoiler if we used anything beyond that, but that one panel would leave things up in the air.

I can see why you'd use that, but it comes off as hot air to me.

Maybe we can find a picture of Kel'thuzad from Warcraft getting resurrected by Arthas, I recall he even says something like "told you my death would mean little".

That would be more Back from the Dead.

A two-part picture could work. The first, his death, where he says "My death will mean little in the end," and then his resurrection.

Though as said, that might hew a little too close to Back from the Dead.

Clock is set.

Clock's up; locking for inactivity/lack of consensus. No further action is to be taken based on this thread.
