The current picture has a woman(?) holding a sword, and on the next frame something cut in a lot of pieces. I get what it's trying to convey, but it doesn't show the attack itself, it relies on the caption to explain that it fits, seems more like a poor illustration of the subtrope Blade Spam, and I really can't tell what the cut-up thing is supposed to be besides very bloody.

It would be great to have a picture of a spam attack as it's actually happening, but from what I can tell, a lot of better potential illustrations would be better off in one of the subtropes. Maybe this is one that should remain blank?

Current:

Death of a Thousand Cuts in a single frame.

Crap, this one never got opened. I'm not crazy about the current, especially the caption, but I think it's in weak Keep Until Better Image Suggested territory.

And yet it wouldn't work without that caption.

Well, actually it probably would, but it's still not a strong image.

Almost but not quite works. The latter two are a bit low on quality, and in the first it looks like he's holding something that shines and/or blasts stuff.

I'd be fine with leaving this one blank, to be honest.

Current's pretty terrible. Seems more like an example of You Are Already Dead anyways.

The clock is way past due and the only consensus is that the current isn't worth keeping, so it's pulled and the page is tagged. Locking up.
