I don't get this at all.

While bad, I don't think it subtracts from the trope page. The hard part is seeing what it actually shows. But once you see that, you do see an Omniscient Council of Vagueness, which is a typical example of the trope.

The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.

For what it's worth, I still don't know what the trope is about. My guess, without reading the article, is "character is very important in-universe, but is a minor player / not important, from the outside"... is that right? The caption seems like it's trying to help say that, but it doesn't, I don't think. Can it be modified?

edit: Yeah that's close... more like "should be important to the plot, given their identity/rank/role/etc, but is not". Knowing that, the current caption makes more sense. I think it should make sense before understanding the trope, not after, tho.

I have no idea what's going on in the pic or how it relates to the page. Supporting the pull.

A Cast Shot with somebody who's obviously a king or a pope or something in the background, maybe?

(Huh. Cast Shot's not a trope?)
