Way better than nothing.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.A bit hard to see. Not a fan of it. A larger size might be better.
Image Source. Please update whenever an image is changed.Showing a planet in the process of being harmed/destructed doesn't cut it, does it? We probably have another trope for that.
We have Planet Eater and Earth-Shattering Kaboom. I don't think the suggestion here (especially when paired with the caption) looks too much like Planet Eater.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman3 is good enough. Is there a suggestion that's better enough?
Check out my fanfiction!Looked small on phone. Looks better on computer. I change my opinion. It looks good enough.
Image Source. Please update whenever an image is changed.Suggestion still looks more like Planet Eater to me. Nothing in that pic indicates that the monster has already obliterated another planet before targeting Earth.
First thing that comes to mind is this◊. Would be better to have the original screenshot, though, but I can't remember where the original scene is, so I can't locate it.
I'm not very fond of the Transformers image, mainly because it doesn't LOOK like a planet - the only reason I would even suspect that it is one is what page we are talking about.
Maybe we could do a montage of the planets being destroyed in the opening credits of Men in Black II.
Alderaan from Star Wars A New Hope. The dialogue tells pretty well how sacrificial the planet is.
There's also Desparye from The Extended Universe:

any thoughts?
Alderan's a bit too plot relevant to be a good example; if anything, it might be more plot relevant than Yavin IV, aka the planet that's actually saved by destroying the Death Star.
What does plot relevance have to do with the trope? The fact remains that Alderaan was sacrificed because the Empire could.
The second sentence of the description says that. Alderaan is not a Sacrificial Planet.
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.Well, it needs to be removed from the examples then.
What about the 2nd pic though?
I like it, but it would benefit a lot from a good caption.
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.Indeed. I found the pic on GIS, but I known nothing of the context. I'll try to find some.
The second suggestion is 9, yes?
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanSorry, should've clarified. I meant my 2nd suggestion, the art of the Death Star blowing up a planet. It isn't Alderaan, but a planet from the expanded universe. I need to find some context on the pic though.
^^ No, 12.2.
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.Unicron has my vote so far.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.Still prefer 3.
Check out my fanfiction!Clock is set.

Sacrificial Planet doesn't have an image. I think Unicron eating Lithone◊ from the intro of Transformers The Movie would work well, perhaps with the caption "Unicron enjoys an early movie snack".
