Honestly, I don't think the current combo is that bad...it's not great but it gets the concept across clearly enough for me to give it a weak Keep Until Better Image Suggested.
This scene comes to mind, from LA Confidential:
Spiral out, keep going.^ Too dark and blurry.

I was thinking we can add to the original image, we can place the The Deer Hunter Image below the original one.
Bump; any other thoughts regarding OP/suggestions?
Twitter/Instagram: anzasquiddles. Deviantart: anzahanifathallah.I like the current image best so far.
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.Still not ideal (really, none of them are), but I found this one◊ funny enough to put on the table here.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"I like that one.
(Annoyed grunt)^^ It's funny but I am not sure if it works for users who haven't seen The Deer Hunter.
I think the dogs playing Russian Roulette one works quite well. There's the revolver, the dog acting as ref showing them one bullet, and , I don't see a need to be familiar with The Deer Hunter for it to work. Yeah. I like it. That one gets my vote.

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.I didn't notice the "ref" showing the "players" a single bullet. Without that I didn't think the image was good, with it I do. Can the one bullet be mentioned (even indirectly) in the caption, to call attention to it?
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.Caption possibility: "Six chambers. One Bullet. You like those odds?"

17+19=good.

(Annoyed grunt)Good enough. 17+19's up and tagged; locking up.
Old pic:
The current image just shows a revolver with one chambered bullet. It doesn't show the game itself being played, which I would assume is the more pertinent component of the trope. From The Deer Hunter◊.
ETA: Hmm... on further reflection, what we really need is something that combines both 1) someone putting in the bullets and 2) with the gun to their heads. If you only have the first then it's just someone firing at something with few bullets, if you only have the latter then it might as well be someone who's generally suicidal.
