Is the pickin' still a'going? Because I had a bit of an idea. How about this picture here? (Please excuse the low quality screencap.)
There's a lightsaber out, which almost universally points to Star Wars. I think this image works because, even if you aren't aware that Anakin's made a FaceāHeel Turn (though that's entered It Was His Sled status by now) and Obi-Wan's been charged to kill him, the picture gives you some clues. Anakin's in the foreground, but he's swathed in black, a traditionally evil color. In contrast, Obi-Wan's in white/beige tones, signifying good, but he has his lightsaber out, clearly ready to attack Anakin— which appears to be sort of a villainous move, attacking from behind. I think those are some pretty good context clues, even if you don't know the exact story. (And a caption would clarify things further: perhaps something along the lines of 'After the student's betrayal, it's the master's job to clean up the mess.'
I dunno, just a thought. Does it sound feasible?

Seems like JAFAAC material to me. We need something that displays at least some antagonism.
I liked it better when Questionable Casting was called WTH Casting AgencyThe "lightsaber out and poised ready to attack" seemed like grounds for antagonism to me. At least more so than the GTA picture, which I'll admit that I'm still not sure I entirely understand. To be honest, though, I think some of the superhero pictures from earlier in the thread would do pretty well.

Is Anakin the protagonist of Revenge of the Sith?
First key to interpreting a work: Things mean things.He starts out as one.
I'm not seeing any clear choices for a pic here but this thread has got to reach a decision at some point, any more examples or can we call this not picturable?
Anakin is on the front of The Pic lets try a pic that has The Hero Antagonist as the focus rather then the Villain Protagonist
Darkness is The Power of LifeSet a clock for this, far too long to be ongoing like this and nobody has a good pic suggestion thus far so it'll be easier to just go for unpicturable. I'm indifferent, just want it cleared out.
Clock is ticking.
This is...damn hard to show. I'm picturing a Hero Antagonist cop arresting a Villain Protagonist with his handiwork, I don't know, a burning building or wreckage in the background. That's way too specific to search for though.

Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things.Clock's up; locking for inactivity/lack of consensus. No further action is to be taken based on this thread.
Wait, that looks like a GTA spinoff where you do play police officers and protect the innocent.
The words above are to be read as if they are narrated by Morgan Freeman.
