Not sure how this trope can be illustrated but current image is doing a poor jobs of it. My verdict: Pull regardless of replacement.

The current is weak, but I don't think it's quite bad enough to pull without a replacement.

Hrrrm, looked for both Arkham Asylum and Transformers Fall of Cybertron, both of them have bits where your captured and a prompt "Press X to Struggle/Resist" appears. But Both case I could find the prompt is unreadable at wiki size.

I'd like to suggest the example from Dust An Elysian Tail, but it's the absolute last part of the game, and seeing Dust crawling along the ground wouldn't help illustrate it.

[up] It looks like a cutscene.

We need a collage of her trying to free herself by shaking left and right for it to work... for pretty much anything on the page to work.

Is there an in-game screen of the current's mechanic that would make it more clear what's going on?

Yepp, without any reference to an in-game mechanic, the image is non-descriptive.

I'm gonna go with a weak Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

The clock's up and there's enough consensus to call this a Keep Until Better Image Suggested page, so it's tagged. Locking up.
