Does Not Illustrate: Dragon In Chief

While this is a good example of a Dragon-in-Chief, there's nothing in the image itself that suggests the dragon (Tywin, on the right) is a greater threat than the villain (Joffrey, on the left). Am I overthinking this?

The current pic was kept on the page per this thread. It's weak, but I'm voting Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

Pull, for overlap with Puppet King.

Might not be obvious enough that the weaker party is a Corrupt Corporate Executive.

Absolutely keep the current picture (what is the difference between this trope and Puppet King anyway?)

Apples and oranges are both round-shaped fruits. That does not make apples oranges.

Or, in less cryptic fashion, Dragon-in-Chief is about a villain's second who is more formidable than them but still serves them for whatever reason; Puppet King is explicitly about a puppet ruler being controlled by his advisor(s), none of whom even have to be malevolent. They can overlap, but they're distinct tropes.

Vader and Tarkin, perhaps?

Could work, although it's not obvious who is who.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

It's not clear that the guy sharing the image with Bane is his boss, could be some random bystander in a suit.

7 relies on the same means of visual expression as the current (The Dragon towering over his superior), so that would be a lateral change. The current even does it better IMHO because of the camera angle.

Even if it were a lateral change in terms of visual value, there is still the Puppet King overlap issue.
