This is a picture of Vasquez. It doesn't even show anything about her, let alone that she's gonna die. How long has this been here?

Yeah it needs to be pulled. It's not even linked to the Aliens movie to show us what it's even from.

I added the pothole. I'm not sure if this should have a pic due to being kinda spoilerish, but if we decide to do one, what comes to mind is a list of movies with a pic of the Vasquez character and a pic of the more feminine action character side-by-side, and a caption saying "Guess which ones died."

That would be JAFAAC.

How about an actual picture of the character dying? That at least would provide some context. But like you said, this is kind of a spoilery trope.

Should this have a "death trope, unmarked spoilers" warning?

Definitely add the warning.

You guys definitely have rules on the brain. The picture of Vasques, who is in the name of the trope, stays. The fact that she dies is also in the name. It is not a spoiler.

Listen, if we could automate all this without needing human judgment, we wouldn't need a special purpose forum for image selection. Exercise human judgment.
