The image of a not particularly heroic looking character relies on the quote of an episode to make clear that he doesn't see himself as a hero. Even then, the quote doesn't mean much to someone not familiar with the series and doesn't seem to come from the character himself.

Opened.

As much as I like Doctor Who, the current isn't really cutting it. Thus, I'll go for pulling this.

Suggestion from One Piece [1]

[up] Only major issue with that is that it's right to left. Could be an easy fix, but there's stuff on the bottom, including a watermark.

The One Piece suggestion looks more like a Heroic BSoD or something. I think we should get a picture with a less extreme reaction, since this trope is usually presented in a more subdued manner.

Clock is set.

[up] I agree, the One Piece pic seems more like a Heroic BSoD than this trope.

It's showing her reaction, which is fine for something that's dialogue-dependent. My main issue is that the legibility is shoddy.

Yeah, I'm not sure how that's going to look at wiki size, and it seems more fitting for another trope beyond this one.

^ Wikisized. What other trope would that be?

Not sure...but I'm for sure not getting "heroic" from that.

True. Trope page's probably better off blank until something fitting comes along.

Clock's up; locking for lack of consensus.
