I have no idea who that guy is or what he is doing, and it seems to more an attempt to illustrate a particular villain than this trope, which is odd since this trope doesn't always require a villain.

Yeah, that's a JAFAAC. Concur with the pull.

Even funnier, according to the caption this guy wants to destroy the orphanage, which is the opposite of this trope.

It is not opposite.

I'm going to give this a Keep Until Better Image Suggested, based on the following:

  • There's enough in the pic to make it clear that it's set in a dark, fairly swanky-looking executive's office, which almost always means shadyness.
  • There's a model of an old building which I would easily associate with an orphanage.
  • It's Chris Walken.
  • The caption bolsters the impression the image gives.

Granted, we could do better, but I don't think this is bad enough to warrant immediately razing.

I'm tentatively going to go with Keep Until Better Image Suggested. It doesn't harm the page, and sort of gives the right atmosphere.

Also voting Keep Until Better Image Suggested per reasons Duck and Willbyr stated. Though I have never heard of Chris Walken.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested for me, as well.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested sounds good to me.

I'm going to have to go with Keep Until Better Image Suggested as well; it isn't very illustrative, but it isn't hurting the page either. It's thoroughly mediocre, which isn't bad enough to pull.
