I see as not that trope, but either as:

  • 1. Guy runs headlong into a computer, somehow gets dismembered
  • 2. Guy looks out of broken window, get decapitated in half (that can go a lot of ways).

Also crudely drawn.

There's a few good scenes from Fringe that illustrate this concept.

I see someone get cut in half because he's pulling the plug of that device. While it's kind of badly drawn, I can still see the trope in it.

^ I disagree. I see the plug, but it's still attached to a window or TV that's Made of Explodium.

I really can't tell what's going on in that pic without looking hard, and it's pretty badly drawn to boot. There's got to be a better example out there somewhere.

Victim from Fringe Kinda gruesome, and also doesn't show a portal, but does a good job of illustrating the effects.

I'm thinking of a two-panel mockup where the first guy is putting his hand through a portal but somebody trips over the power cord, then the second panel is him with no portal and a missing arm. "That could have been your head."

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally don't like the current image.

Looks like the guy gets mauled by whatever's behind the broken window. Nothing about it says "portal" to me at all.

Was looking for the two times it happens in Stargate SG 1, but both make for terrible screenshots.

There's a Friday The13th The Series example where a guy ends up embedded halfway in a wall because of this trope. Possibly confusable for another, but I'm not sure "the other" actually exists...

As in, that they are thrown through a wall? Do not recall such a trope, but it would not be this.

Or that they are sliced midway through? Would be OK.

[up] Too grainy.

Looking at the examples on the page, I think the pic might be a spoiler.

This is the only decent thing I found in the Webcomics section (panel 1/2).

[up] I see what's going on, but I dunno that it's all that clear to the general tropulace.
