Just Some Soldiers attacking a village: Outside Context Villain

Not demonstrative.

I agree. The distinction should be more clear. Like maybe we can find a picture of aliens attacking cavemen or something like that.

Agree.

Motion to pull image.

Image doesn't show trope.

Seconding.

Third and pulled:

@Kaizer Mazoku: Cowboys and Aliens, then?

I like these◊ two◊ images best. I think they give better sense of scale and superior technology.

Go for Amazing Stories, it really captures the essense.

The Amazing Stories pic is fine; the pic suggested along with it is already being used on The War Of The Worlds.

I like this one:

...it's small, so we wouldn't have to resize it (potentially losing details.) And the contrast between the idyllic low-tech village and the bizarre robot monsters attacking it seems more stark than in most of the others.

It's a little blurry, otherwise I'd say it'd be good.

maybe the Lion Men from the Megaman cartoon?

How about this one?

Okay, that's pretty good. Holmes vs. Dalek, right? Where's it from, or did you make it?

Edit: Also, I have the urge to caption in "Sherlock Holmes: A Study in Exterminate!!"

I'm inclined against that due to its "fake" nature, since we have some images from actual works.

Kind of funny, though.

I made that myself actually. My original though was to pit SG-1 from Stargate against the Daleks, but then I figured Carter would probably figure out a way to disintegrate them by the end of the episode. I had to keep the Dalek because they're hard enough to stop as an Inside Context Villain, so I used Sherlock Holmes because as amazing as his powers of observation and deduction are, if he goes up against a Dalek, he's screwed.

For the record, Daleks in Stargate wouldn't have really been an example in the first place, given that it's more or less the same genre and all. Still, I think it's better if we go with one of the "real" pictures like the War of the Worlds suggestions.

If we're wanting a real picture, there's this one here.

Someone needs to find or make a pic of Voldemort feeing on one of the MLP ponies to copy the unicorn scene from the first Harry Potter book.

The Joker whaling on Superman? Huh?

No.

To be fair, Joker had a massive chunk of Kryptonite in the room.
