The image really shows a related trope, Riding into the Sunset, and doesn't illustrate any trope elements beyond the mere act of "going" - e.g., the idea that the character only "has to leave for no other reason than "he must"." (A notion that seems to be partly contradicted by the preceding paragraph - the trope may have problems beyond just the image.)

Yeah, that one is bad.

It's a bit confusing. It seems more positive than the trope is.

I'd label that, "Does Not Illustrate." It shows a concept, just not the right concept. What we need is the hero ready to go and telling someone he cares about, like a child, that he'll be gone soon.

Terminator 2 isn't an example, but perhaps we could use an image from it anyway?

What about the scene from Kingdom Hearts II, when Sora reassures Winnie the Pooh that he'll always be in his heart, shortly before he leaves that world for the final time (for now)? That's a very Heartwarming scene; of course, I also support the Terminator scene.

Clock is set. I'm good to pull the pic for the confusion with Riding into the Sunset.

Clock's up; the only thing that has any sort of consensus is that the pic doesn't work well enough so it's pulled and the page is tagged with this thread. Locking up.
