The image shows a guy trying to murder another guy, with the caption being the only indication of the two teaming ever up with each other.

I see your point, but the combo works for me, enough to call it a Keep Until Better Image Suggested case.

Yeah, I'd want to see an improvement suggestion here. It's not great, but it works as it is.

Not a fan of current since it relies on the caption, and the caption relies on Sinkholes.

Their identities other than "these guys" is completely irrelevant for understanding the trope, given the rest of the caption.

I'm genuinely curious how the current image works at all. Without the caption, it has absolutely nothing to do with Teeth-Clenched Teamwork, because no teamwork is being shown. Basically, it has the same issues with the old image for Not Good with Rejection, which everyone agreed was JAFAAC.

Alternative suggestion: [1].

[up] I can't tell that those people are working together on something OR at odds with each other.

They're doing a team high-five for a show called "Movie Fights" and are clearly not happy about it.

They look like a couple of commentators expressing gutteral enthusiasm over something they just saw.

The "teamwork" aspect seems weak in the Spidey/Wolvie setup.

[up]It's better than "none at all" though, which is the issue with the current. Unless someone can find a picture of those two guys actually working together.

On top of my head, I'm sure we can find some interesting byplays between Tarvek and Gil from Girl Genius for illustrating this trope.

Is that necessary? Only one of the suggestions have a semblance of support.
