Suggestion: Fire Keeps It Dead

Opening suggestion: Salting and burning a corpse◊ from Supernatural.

Ehhhhh...they're okay but just okay.

Kind of vague to the point I don't see it. Well, I suppose the second could work, but I'm not too hot about it.

Bump. Other suggestions or opinions?

Altaïr burning Al Mualim? It's really hard to show that burning someone is the only way of destroying them.

I'm not sure this can be depicted effectively.

The 40K fanboy in me says that the best way to depict this would be to show Guardsmen or Space Marines burning Ork corpses on a battlefield, as Orks are part fungus and reproduce via spores, and burning them helps eliminate that problem. However, I doubt anything like that actually exists in pic form.

Honestly, I think the fact that the guys in the OP break into a cemetery to burn a corpse that's already dead and buried says enough about the trope.

^ That cannot be inferred from the image.

Bump. Can this be adequately portrayed in an image?

Any decent option would probably need a caption to support it in any case.

I think it can be, we just haven't found a good option yet.

Me Too!.

I second Morgenthaler's support for the second image in the original post. Yes, I suppose it's possible they decided to make a bonfire in an open grave so they could roast marshmallows or something, but I think people will be able to figure out what's going on.

Been looking at the example list... anyone have any good pics of Orks getting burned to prevent them from spawning?

Nothing came up in GIS...I can just about guarantee that's something that someone will have to draw on their own.

Clock is set.

To reiterate, I think the grave burning (image 1.2) passes the "better than nothing" bar pretty easily. Should we put it to a formal vote?

I'm not crazy about either one, honestly.

I'd settle for 1.2. The caption could try to fill contextual holes, like explaining what they're doing, or why.

Found this one◊ that's perhaps more straightforward.

^ Gets my vote pending other suggestions.

That's the most clear so far.

21, then.

21.1.
