Poor Image: Action Duo

The current page image looks weirdly pixellated, probably because of a significant size reduction.

Alternate shot of those two, which I also think gets across the difference between the two a tad better. Thoughts or other suggestions?

I'm good with that pending other ideas.

I think they both look a little too uncertain.

I'm not much of a fan of 4, I feel it looks a bit too much like two random guys with guns rather than a pair.

How about this picture of the main characters from Absolute Duo?

I like this picture of Cage and Vrataski from Edge of Tomorrow.

One of the two should be a badass and the other a weaker character, no? 4 is not ideal but still preferable over the rest.

[up]Ah right, I misunderstood the trope in which case how about this or this from Kim Possible?

It's also on Non-Action Guy. And Kim/Ron is more of an Action Girlfriend situation anyway.

Caramon and Raistlin from the cover of The Test of the Twins. Which one is the hero and which is the survivor depends on where in the series you are reading.

This signature says something else when you aren't looking at it.

I don't see a distinction between them, which is my problem with almost all suggestions.

Made a crowner. I've included all the options in this thread barring the Kim Possible ones because one was a duplicate and both are far closer to Action Girlfriend.
