One of the problems with the current pic is that you won't understand at all why those two guys and that... girl (?) fit the trope (The Hero and his/her two best friends, who have opposite genders). Another one, as I just implied, is that Hermione's gender is a bit difficult to tell right away because of the image's style (I didn't even recognize them at first glance, and I sufficiently know Harry Potter). The caption doesn't help either, as I didn't know that the "Golden Trio" was supposed to be them. I assume that nickname is only used in HP niches.

I can't come up with any replacement candidate yet, but for now, I suggest removing the current pic as it's not illustrating the trope in any way and isn't clear.

I've always thought this was one of the ugliest depictions of Harry, Ron and Hermione that I've ever come across. As other options of them: 1 (will need permission), 2, 3 (probably need permission for this one, too), 4

[up][up] I guess the first proposal is close enough. Best one so far.

Three main characters from Lizzie McGuire.

Just realized that we have subtropes for Two Girls and a Guy and Two Guys and a Girl. Which means we've either got a lot of misplaced examples on the page, or a trope with an identity crisis. What examples does this apply to?

Honestly, I'm pretty sure Three Amigos is just a bad page that's been grandfathered in. I feel like the distinctions (main character and his two sidekicks, one of the same gender and one of the opposite) was added in later on as an attempt to make it an actual trope.

Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.

As I read the tropes, Three Amigos and Two Girls and a Guy are sister tropes with different male/female combinations. Two Guys and a Girl seems to be a subtrope of Three Amigos where the guys start fighting over the girl. Similar to Friend Versus Lover but with all three being friends.

I feel like the more I read it, Three Amigos feel rather kinda vague or broad when you already have specific terms.

If there's going to be debate over the definition of Three Amigos, someone should start a thread in TRS.
