Just a Face and a Caption: Disposable Woman

The current image is a picture of a guy swearing to get revenge for the Disposable Woman, who isn't even seen. This add absolutely nothing visually. That said, I'm not sure if this trope can actually be pictured (or at least it's very difficult), so I'm leaning towards making this a BUPKIS page.

I'm not 100% certain on making this a BUPKIS page right now, but I could be persuaded. The current needs to go...seems like it fits another trope beside this one.

The text is hard to read, and without it the image is absolutely nothing. I think the page would gain from dropping it.

I'd agree with pulling it. Not too sure on a replacement, though.

Pull but I have no ideas on a replacement.

The trope is rather opaque for a picture, even being in an image makes them kinda more important than the trope.

Bump. So what's the consensus with this? Would any image chosen require a caption to make it work?

Probably; I think it's extraordinarily difficult to illustrate without a lampshade to begin with, as are most tropes that revolve around the absence of something. For Disposable Woman, one has has to 1] establish the woman as a satellite character/living plot device, 2] show them getting disposed in some manner, then 3] show that they don't really impact the rest of the plot. That's a lot for a single pic.

Leaning more and more toward making this a BUPKIS page.

Murron in Braveheart is an example but the scene is nothing more than a face and a caption.

BUPKIS it is. The tag's adjusted and the page is added to the list in the IP discussion thread. Locking up.
