Suggestion: Low Tech Spears

So, this page should probably have more examples. Was trying to find some examples from more vintage movies, but found these.

1.1 is brightest and therefore best of those, but it might help to show the 'primitive' environment of the spear-wielder?

1.1, as the trope is primarily associated with cavemen.

I actually prefer the image to be a caveman or person too. I find 1.1 to be a bit dull to get the trope nuances across so:

1.1 = 9 > the others

9 is good.

I prefer 9 because it's not on a white background.

Also there is this which puts more focus on the spear:

I also prefer 9.

9 is also good.

9 does not focus enough on the spears. One is even cropped out.

The focus is too much on the characters instead of the weapon (a.k.a, the literal point of the trope) as a result.

I find 9 a bit too dark in the foreground as well. I'm still fine with 2, though I will say that 1.2 shows a primitive-looking character clearly wielding a spear (with a natural background, which 1.1 lacks).

I much prefer 9.

Bumping for a consensus.
