I cannot begin to understand how someone thought a picture of The Hulk rampaging was a demonstrative picture for this. Motion to pull. I doubt we'll find any good replacements, but I'm open to suggestions.

It's OOC for Mr. Banner, but not for Mr. Hulk, who's on the pic, so I support pulling.

That said, it's not a picture you can have without a lampshade of some sort, I believe. Something along the lines of, "Wait, she actually spoke?"

Actually speaking (or more than laconically) is a decently common version of the trope. Shiina from Angel Beats, Teller from Penn And Teller, Zazie from Mahou Sensei Negima, several others I won't mention due to spoilers. Losing your cool or actually becoming serious are others.

The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.

Yes, the image is not adequate.

Maybe we can have something like three images of a character being consistent and then one image of OOC.

Pull it. This one's actively misleading.

Hulk fail as pic.

This is what happens when you mess up with this usually calm and pacifist scientist.

Clock's up; locking for inactivity/lack of consensus. No further action is to be taken based on this thread.
