Motion to pull

Per OP - pic doesn't show enough of the trope.

He is clearly speechless, but it still doesn't show the whole trope. I'm voting to pull.

Agreed. Motion to pull, blah blah blah.

I looked through the webcomics section and I think these are the best candidates: Nuklear Power, Meat Shield, OotS.

And if I claim to be a wise man, well, it surely means that I don't know.

Fifthing pull.

I think all of those are a little too wordy... I've got one that I think would be perfect, but I think it may not be suitable due to watermarks/the translator not wanting it to be re-distributed. Linky. Perhaps we could ask for permission or something, unless it's against the rules? If we got permission, then all we'd have to do is chop off the first panel or at most the second, and then we'd be done.

If we do MeatShield, it'll have to be two panels or vertical.

Yeah, gotta re-read things better.. OK, I'd opt for something that can be condensed into two frames showing both how they were broke and the line. None of the examples so far do that.

Sadly, I can't see any way to condense that (and it's obviously too long as it is).

I can remove stuff, but it won't be symmetrical if I do.

My objection is more that cutting anything would seem to diminish the effectiveness of the image. I suppose a panel of Sarda's Angrish could go, but that still leaves an oversized image.

I actually like the 8 Bit Theater pic as is.

Fourthing. It's good as it is.

It still seems like it would be too large to me, but if no one else thinks so, then I suppose we can give it a chance.

Previewing it, the image extends past the Anime section. We might be able to work with just the top panels knocked off.

I was under the impression we needed to show what caused the reaction as well as the reaction itself, though.

The ultimate form of breaking something: Blowing it up. I love it.

That's not an example of the trope though; according to the descriptions this primarily applies to Heroic BSoD type stuff, not literally breaking somebody with an explosion.

If we're just using the page to refer to the Stock Phrase, the page should reflect that. Or maybe I'm just thinking too hard.

[up] That's only one of the criteria. Here's the source comic for reference.

A the poster of the original picture, I must say I am against pulling this one.

The trope is about the Stock Phrase. The Stock Phrase, and how it is usually uttered. The Angel Moxie pic was absolutely perfect for this, including the "whispered as an aside" part. I don't see what "other part of the trope" is missing there.
