Suggestion: Overt Rendezvous

Current is okay, but I found this one and liked the added pinch of paranoia in the face of Donald Sutherland' character.

I do think I prefer the suggestion, the current seems rather in JAFAAC territory.

It's an improvement.

Check out my fanfiction!

I don't know... on the one hand the current has the famous landmark in the background that makes the "overt" part bleedingly obvious. On the other hand it's hard to depict the "rendezvous" part without making it look like it's just two regular people talking on a bench. Sutherland's paranoid look does capture that better. I do think that would be more important and would probably prefer the OP, but maybe one character giving another one a package or something could work too.

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"

I think I prefer the OP's suggestion better.

(Annoyed grunt)

Alternatively, there's the businessman and the mayor, from Static Shock.

That looks more like a couple walking home from a minor grocery run.

The quality is also a lot lower than the OP.

1 is the only one suggested so far that won't rely on the caption to make it clear that this is something more than two people who happen to be in the same place. The current doesn't even look like they're paying any attention to each other, the latest suggestion doesn't suggest a rendezvous at all, they look like they're maybe coming home from a quick store run, or dinner (with doggie bags), or from the movies.

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.

I would give 1 my approval if it was obvious there are more people besides those two. They could be in a solitary place where no one would walk by, therefore no "overt".

I think I prefer the current page pic. Does the series it's from provide any better shots that make it clear those two know each other?

There is a third person on the pic.

There's not only a third person in the picture, but they're clearly in a park of some sort; they're standing on a paved path and the grass is mowed — it's not somewhere out in the wilderness.

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.

Shoot, there is a third person. Mistook them with the tree. Also thought that the path was dirt.

I guess it works, then.

Well, paved, gravel, dirt, the point is, that's a clearly maintained, wide smooth path, not a trail through a woods. The whole area is obviously well-maintained, not out of the way or remote.

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.

I suppose the one in the OP works, yeah.

Also throwing my support behind 1.

Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.

I think that's 8 in favor of the OP. Call this?

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"

Yeah, 8's good.

''“You want a planet? I’ll give you a planet! Heck, I’ll give you your own solar system! No, I’ll give you a house... in Boca Raton!

Yep, this is ready. The new pic's in and tagged; caption?

Old pic:

"You see anyone?"

''“You want a planet? I’ll give you a planet! Heck, I’ll give you your own solar system! No, I’ll give you a house... in Boca Raton!

No consensus on a caption; locking up.
