What am I looking at?: Who Wants To Live Forever

Best I can tell, it's from some Sonic parody that requires you to watch it to have any idea what the image is, seeing how the caption links to it. On the surface, it looks like Tails mourning his identical twin, which seems a bit outside the trope description.

Motion to pull. Confusing and doesn't display the trope at all.

Even if I dislike pulling, I think that would be a vast improvement of the page.

That image seems actively harmful.

You know, I'd've sworn there was an IP thread about this page, but it's not in the list. At any rate, with the link to the source, I think this is a Keep Until Better Image Suggested situation.

People shouldn't have to click a link in order to understand a pic

I've pulled it for the time being. I really don't think it's a trope you can even have an image for.

I think it could be pictured pretty easily.

Maybe one shot of a guy surrounded by friends and in the next shot him in a graveyard?

For reference, the pulled picture:

All your friends died. Except you. And you can't kill yourself.

Last mortal comic series (issue one) has a wicked cover that illustrates this trope perfect. Headshot,standing(suffering) and in the back the Ouroboros symbol. here's a thumbnail

[1]◊ If we want to use this, we may also want to crop out the title.

EDIT: I, for one, want to use this.

EDITEDIT: Thumbnail looks good too, of course.

I think it's okay. That he shot himself in the head says suicidal, that he's still standing says he's immortal.

The comic book pic is nice.

Another vote for the sad-looking suicidal immortal.

It works.

I uploaded the comic cover from a Minutemen Scan (the best quality). You can crop and edit it (i removed the title&logo).

Here it is

Now we shall preserve the Tails pic in the Image Links Page. (I would do it myself, but I do not know how.)

I have no idea what that picture is about. Yes, it makes sense if you know what the trope is about, but before that it looks like a guy who is holding a gun while being slightly charred and with some irrelevant dragon picture in the background. It's better than the tails one but not much.

The current images is even worse than the previous one. A guy shoots himself on the head, how does that show that he doesn't want to be immortal. The previous one wasn't good to begin with but atleast you had a vague idea what's going on.

I think it makes sense. The image says he's sad that shooting himself in the head didn't kill him. The pic was put up prematurely and it has some seriously low quality going on. Pulled.

True, it did show that he wanted to die, but there is no evidence that he is immortal which is what the trope it about.

The previous image wasn't good either. Haven't seen any nice way to picture this.

He was still alive after shooting himself in the head. Normally he would die from that kind of shot.

But if I have to explain the subtleties of the image before it starts to make any sense whatsoever, it really isn't a good image.

Okay I see your point there. But since it was pulled we still need to find a better image.

^ What?! That isn't true. It wasn't pulled for being a bad image, it was pulled for being low-quality and having been posted prematurely.

I think the headshot-suicide image is great. Obviously he tried to kill himself, obviously he failed. Those aren't "subtleties". One or two people not getting it doesn't mean it's hard to get. I'm sure there is something better but can't imagine what.

Here is a higher-quality version, from #16:
