The Incredibles are definitely an example, but there is a separate trope for Super Family Team, which they also provide the page image for. It creates unnecessary overlap to mix up the two.

I was initially thinking of suggesting the family from Spy Kids, but they're also listed on that page. Ok, not superheroes, but technically superspies. Been trying to find a good shot of the O'Connell family from The Mummy Trilogy as well, but none quite stand out.

Opened. I agree that the Incredibles are a better fit for Super Family Team.

The Incredibles are already on Super Family Team. What's the problem?

[up] Because them being the image on both pages makes Badass Family seem narrower than it really is, and the trope is broader than super families anyway.

For the main page, I like the Spy Kids suggestion. Their poses are badass enough and nothing about their attire suggests "superspies" so there's no overlap between that and Super Family Team.

Bump. Other thoughts or suggestions?

Pretty good, but is there a shot that includes Chi-Chi?

None where she's fighting that I could find, they tend to just be standing which undermines the badass part.

Going to go with that as well, to add something to not stagnate the thread even more.

From my little understanding of Dragon Ball, the girls aren't relevant combantents like at all. I doubt any shots with her fighting alongside her family exist.

6 is good enough to use for now.

Well, about the Dragon Ball picture... (6) I don't know about you guys, but the dude in the center and the one in the left look like clones to me (yeah, I don't follow this series so I have no idea). I think that obfuscates the "family" part of the trope.

That's my concern as well, because a straight-up nuclear family example would be a lot clearer. I think Goku and sons is passable, but closer to Like Father, Like Son.

Guess I'm switching my vote back to the Spy Kids example for the reason cited by Synchronicity above. Higher-quality version:

I was gonna wait to bump this, but this margin of victory is pretty decisive. The new pic's up and tagged...reuse the old caption or go with something different?

The old caption works just as well for the new pic.

I've added the old caption back but not tagged it since there's no real consensus. Locking up.
