The image is taken from two different films to show the "before" and "after" of a Rain of Arrows. This would probably be fine, except that the images blur into each other the bottom image blurs up into the top, which looks muddy and confusing.

We could simply put together a new version with sharp lines, but it might be better to take both shots from one movie (the current 300 image plus a shot of the arrow-riddled shields, for example).

The quality's not great in the second panel, for sure...maybe the same scene from Braveheart?

I rather like the example shown from Hero.. I say just fix the borders and be done with it. Nothing against using examples from different works.

Original cleaned up and an epic single shot from 300 (my favorite so far)

[up]I think the first one looks like actual rain, or at least Hollywood rain. The second is the most clear of those, and the third is more dramatic.

Ooh, I like the single shot; it has the drama, and it shows the arrows both falling and sticking up in the foreground, so you don't need a "before and after."

[up] Tropes about motion are hard to convey in images, but those arrows in the first shot are actually traveling up.

4.3 looks pretty epic.

No consensus on a caption; locking up.
