I am not entirely satsified with the current picture of Lightning Bruiser.

A tank is obviously strong, so I guess it fits the bruiser part. However, I'm not sure about the "wheelie" part. I mean, it doesn't even look like it's doing wheelie, it looks more like it got hit and was in the middle of being flipped over. I don't think the "very fast" part of this trope isn't being displayed well.

I looked for better candidates and came across this page.

How does this look?

Something strong, moving fast. I don't see any problem with the image.

The problem I'm having with the current pic is that the moving fast part isn't all that apparent. You have to pay a bit more attention to see that it is actually doing a wheelie.

That's a wee bit too busy, man.

Yeah, I distinctly remember we did something like that to Competitive Balance tropes. Did this one get left behind? I can see how the pic on The Mario remained, but this one, not so much.

Problem solved I say.

It's clearly moving fast. I don't think it isn't clear enough.

Current image seems fine to me. It does look like a wheelie.

I'm fine with the current. Open to better suggestions, but don't like the suggested replacements so far.

I agree that the current image could be improved, but the suggested manga replacement is awful. Not only do I not get the Lightning Bruiser concept from it, I can't really tell what's going on period. If we could get an image of a very big, strong-looking character obviously moving fast and attacking that would be a lot better.

I think the current pic is fine. The Negima pic is too busy, especially after getting shrunk.

I say let's leave the tank right where it is.

The tank image is fine. It's not confusing or anything.

I gotta go with the current picture just because both suggested ones are extremely hard to figure out what's going on with the general detail of the image itself. That's the manga's fault though.

OP picture looks like a guy getting shot to me.

And I've read the series it's from.

Current image looks good.

Current tank is the best so far. Negima pic is barely understandable even if you know the series, the boxing is a bit better, but still inferior to the tank.

Yup, couldn't find a way to make that image any more comprehensible. Scrap the idea.

Keep the current pic.
