Just one more idea; I want to know if it's worth using...: No Holds Barred Beatdown

I know I'm the one who suggested in the other thread that this trope should be left imageless because of how disturbing it is by its very nature, but one idea that didn't occur to me last thread came to mind watching Beauty And The Beast yesterday; this scene.

Moments like knocking Beast out the window while Beast still has an arrow in his arm, or kicking Beast while he's already on the ground, etc... make this trope abundantly clear, while also being mild enough to have gotten a G rating from the MPAA.

The computer I'm typing this from now doesn't play videos, so I probably won't be coming up with specific screenshots until later this evening, but first I just want to know if it's a good idea.

I'm not where I can post links right now, but I found something over the weeekend that could work as well - Robin being kicked and pummeled and then beaten with a crowbar by the Joker from A Death In The Family.

In any case, I came up with a couple potential screenshots:

Too difficult to make out what is going on.

Agreed; the rain really obscures what's going on.

I just feel no one exemplifies this trope like Hellboy as drawn by mignola (or fegredo). I will try to come up with a slew of examples, but here's this

Yeah, that's weird. I don't have time to figure out where the right link went right now, but I will when I get a chance.

Well, here are a bunch of ideas, hellboy or not, that I came up with. See if anything looks good.

1◊ 2◊ 3◊ 4◊ 5 6◊ 7◊ Even though it was an accidental find, 7 is my favorite.

I kinda like 7. It's simplistic, but carries the concept well. And looks brutal.

I'm not really sold on the Hellboy pics. I couldn't find enough of the same quality pics to put everything together that I wanted, but here's the money shot:

Not bad. But I still lean towards post 9's #7. It's cleaner. It's one panel. And it's very clear without being too gross (since they are only silhouettes).

The colored silhouettes do a pretty good job of capturing the tone of this trope without being too gory. Does that one look okay scaled down?

The Joker pic is okay too, although it sacrifices some brevity.

Also, how come we never got the pics from the previous thread up on the Image Links page?

Here it is scaled down.

I really like 14.

Bump. I think 11 is a really good option.

11 is my favorite. Four hits and the Joker does not look like he wants to stop.

The Joker pic is my favorite too. It doesn't get better than 7 whole panels of just a kid being hit with a crowbar.

I liked this Hellboy pic too tho.◊

The text is a little hard to read, so the trope is a little unclear in that image.

Reading comprehension, I doesn't has it.

I think the last panel of the Hellboy would work.

Hellboy with◊ and without◊ type.

I like 14. Very simple and stylish, in my opinion.

Like Hellboy without and 14 still. Crowner?

Yeah, I think we have enough good suggestions for a crowner although it's nice because there are at least three that would work well for this one.
