Not me; I have zero idea how this indicates a sad occasion.

As someone who hasn't played a Metal Gear game, I have no idea what's going on in that scene. Looks like JAFAAC. [tdown]

That particular moment doesn't ring the trope for me either.

You should probably show the tombstone. There was one in that scene, right?

If only the Manly Tears running down his cheek were easier to see...

This better? (quality obviously notwithstanding)

Yes, except for the quality.

Aye, needs better quality.

Either 10.1 + 10.2 or just 10.2 works for me.

I'd avoid using multiple images if we can. Just pick one.

10.2; it is clear he is in a graveyard, and that's sad, sort of.

A graveyard at least implies someone is dead, which is traditionally a sad event.

10.2 works well enough, especially if we can come up with a good caption; let's run with it.

The epitaph is all I can think of, although it probably doesn't explain much to someone not familiar.

The text in 10.1 can possibly work as a caption.

10.2 is up and tagged. I like 21 as a caption.

Yeah, 21's pretty good.

I've added 21 but not tagged it since there's not enough consensus. Locking up.
