No Indication of Trope: That One Boss.Action

Sure it may be a subjective, but the picture does nothing at all to suggest a boss fight. When I first saw it, I thought it was just some guys chilling out in a tank. The caption is nonsensical unless you've played the game. (I'd assume. I haven't actually played it.) Seriously, even a picture of Ganondorf smiling would be better, because at least Ganondorf looks like a villain, even though he isn't actually That One Boss.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested

Considering the nature of this trope, pretty much anything will be JAFAAC. I don't see us being able to find anything better.

Fixed the article link. Keep Until Better Image Suggested for me.

But come on. I'd be okay with a Just A Face And A Caption image as long as it actually, ya know, looked like a Video game boss.

Gods, that Zelda section was a mess.

Anyway, yes, Just A Face And A Caption, and it's not obviously a boss, but considering it's a subpage of a trope that clearly indicates it is about bosses in its title, I'm going to (reluctantly) have to say Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

Is there a boss that, besides being considered difficult, is also menacing-looking? I know creepiness is not an important factor, but it can give readers an idea of what to expect from these bosses.

Would this◊ image of the Twilit Bloat work?

For all I know, those are the heroes.

Nah, that's obviously evil, just not a good "That One Boss".

This guy.◊ or this guy◊

(First one) That one works a little better, if you understand that you'll fall down if you go over the edge. That's usually a very annoying part of boss fights.

How about this? Unlike the current picture, at least you can tell it's a boss.

Yes, but it just shows it in mid-leap. Nothing's showing it actually being a hard boss.

Maybe a picture of a boss pulling off That One Attack would work? Like say an RPG boss pulling off a high hitting full party hit attack?

Otherwise, the Zelda ones posted above might work, considering the pitfalls/spikes look (and are) annoying, and the second one shows the boss using a hard to miss move.

That One Boss/Action

That One Boss/RPG

I'd want a full screen of the butterfly boss, though.

Mothula?

Moldorm isn't really a That One Boss.

A lot of people disagree.

Maybe we could go with the Mothula pic, with the caption "By the way, that floor you're standing on is a conveyor belt."

A randomly-oriented and shifting conveyor belt.

RPG◊?

That second one seems like it should fit something other than this trope...Evil Gloating, maybe?

Put me in the don't care and neither should you boat.

I know I can't tell anyone how to think but this is a subjective audience reaction complaint page that is about as faraway from the wiki's mission any page can get without copious natter and Shock Site imagery. It is held to the loosest of standards and Repair shop votes refused to make it more rigid. To me, it is not worthy of an image picking thread unless some edit war or other rule violation is taking place. If the frequenters and curators don't mind they can have the image.

Thanks for the amusing rant. Now let us continue the discussion for an image, OK?
