Poor Image: Suicide Attack

The image on Suicide Attack is blurry, but the part that really made me want to take it to Image Pickin' is the small square spot in the top right corner, which appears to be from a different picture of a green humanoid running, but is so small nothing else can be made out.

Could definitely use a better image.

Yeah, the quality of that picture is bad enough to warrant bombing it. A blank page is better than that.

Too foggy and bad image quality for my liking.

Keep until other better suggestion is found.

lol

Previous thread. I'm not exactly happy with it, but it's in Keep Until Better Image Suggested territory for me.

Not difficult, once I added "-aftermath" and "-body" to the search terms.

What does a cocaine dealer and his drug running dog have to do with anything?

Semi-kidding.

lol

Well it's better but still not quite perfect.

Put that one in until we can find an ever better one

Really? I like the current more, cliche dynamite is more readily known and the guy has a trigger in his hand.

This guy has C4 strapped to him, sure, but no trigger. He could just be carrying it, AND HOW DOES A DOG USE A BOMB VEST?lol

The current is just bad.

Found several illustrations, though I'm not sure if they are copyrighted or not. [1]◊ [2]◊ [3]◊

Third one is almost certainly not, but it would need cropping. Not sure about the other two

The first two violate the Rule Of Cautious Editing Judgement in a huge way, since they're modern political (very political!) cartoons. The third — I'm somewhat concerned about the fact that she appears to be naked from the back. We've recently had some issues with complaints from Google AdSense about page images that were "inappropriate". Considering o ne was a girl in a bikini, I don't think we would be wise to use a page image of a girl with only an open-backed dress on, even if you can't really see anything.

Agreed. Let's stay away from anything political. I think looking for a video game enemy that kills itself when attacking you is the best bet, something like a Bob-omb or a Real Bombchu◊. But I can't find any good images of them attacking, except for that fan art I linked to of the Bombchus.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA?◊

(Finding good screens of this particular enemy is surprisingly difficult.)

Too unclear◊?

That would be good if there was something more obvious than just the armband to show that it's a kamikaze pilot, not someone who's lost control of their plane. The body and hands position and Oh, Crap! expression in the reflection led me to think it was the latter till I saw the Rising Sun armband.

Nothing so far jumps out to me as good. Maybe 7 but it will need a caption.

More Beheaded's?...

Honestly, them running headless makes me wonder whether a gun is going to kill them at all there...

I wonder if it would be best to have an image that overlaps with Action Bomb or not. And I'm not sure the definition of Action Bomb on this trope page is correct, but defining tropes on related pages tend to be a bad idea.

It seems accurate to me, at first glance. However, Action Bomb also feels like it relates specifically only to video games... while this trope just becomes Action Bomb, under different circumstances...

Well, Action Bomb seems to be about blowing yourself up as a attack strategy. This trope is about doing something that will almost certainly get yourself killed, but you'll take someone down with you. Fair bit of overlap, but different things.

Well, yeah that's what I meant.

So basically it overlaps a lot with Taking You with Me?

Can't spot the difference.
