Just a Face and a Caption: That One Boss.Action

It's just three guys wearing orange prisioner uniforms in a truck. That doesn't scream out "I'm a really hard boss!" or even a boss battle at all, and there's even an "XBOX" watermark near the corner that's been partially cut off. And to make things even worse, the caption below makes completely no sense at all and isn't helping the matter at hand.

WEEEEELLLLLL HE AIN'T MAH BOI BUT DA BROTHA IS HEAVEY

Previous thread; clocked out due to lack of consensus.

I voted Keep Until Better Image Suggested in that thread but I'd be fine with ditching it. I'd definitely like to get rid of the caption unless it's tied directly to that scene.

That's no better than a random image. Yank it.

I have an idea; how about a screenshot showing the player having trouble fighting Death from the first Castlevania? He is one of the first entries on the page after all...

I'd say pull the current, because it doesn't illustrate the trope (it doesn't even show that it is a boss). I'd be happy to see replacements.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

Here's a Rage Comic that shows how frustrating Moldorm is from A Link To The Past. [1]

Nix the last two panels, and that could work.

We should also mention how the damn thing's health is restored once you get back up to fight it.

While we don't have consensus on a caption, adding anything will help make the total package make more sense, so I'll add the first suggestion but not tag it as being chosen by the thread. Locking up.
