Currently, the trope is undergoing cleanup from the Trope Repair Shop due to trope misuse. It was intended to be for openings that prove that the work is for adults. The current image? One from a film that is not an example: Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. Furthermore, the current image may confuse those unfamiliar with the film.

My suggestion is to pull the image, though not sure what can replace it. It could be pretty tough to find a good one.

Agreeing to pull the pic (and also cut the example).

It depends on what we define the trope as for a replacement. Ok with pulling the image though, not ok with cutting the example just yet.

The progression of the TRS thread has made this an uncertain case. Currently consensus seems to be to expand the trope's definition rather than clean up misuse, which means that whether the image is an example or not is up in the air.

[up]Agreed, currently the trope's definition is expanding to fit this example. Therefore, I say the image should be pulled until we agree on what the trope is about, and if Pirates would be an example under the new definition, put it back up.

Clock expired, so closing. We may open a new one if needed once the TRS thread reaches a verdict.
