I don't even know how this fits the trope.

It's a random explosion. Don't see it either.

Same. I'm not even sure what's going on in that picture. Something's exploding for some reason, no implication of how or why it's related to the trope.

The end of the Blues Brothers is an almost literal example of the trope description. Not sure if the sheer number of lawmen drowns out the picture.

I like 5.1. In this case the sheer number of cops in the photo is an advantage.

As for 5.2, I'm rooting for the kid.

Is this a videogame-exclusive trope, or does it encompass all media?

Mainly a Videogame trope.

Mainly Videogame, but I think that has to do with how the trope is described. If it were re-framed as "Character is depicted as really badass, until the lawmen show up and overpower them. Proving they are just small time" it could apply much more broadly.

But this is an Image Pickin discussion and re framing the trope is for another thread.

^ It's a relevant question insofar as it delineates what media we can use for the pic, and the description doesn't really support that broad application.

So is there any consensus on this? Go with a suggestion? Pull image and just go without an image?

^^ I think the current has to go regardless.

Re-clocked; anyone else for/against 5.1?

I'll add another vote for 5.1

Okay, swapping in 5.1. Caption?

The pic is very difficult for me to see what's going on; it looks a bunch of officers pointing their guns towards a centrepoint for no reason. Is there any way to make the image clearer?
