Doesn't show the trope well: Walking The Earth

Not only is the image painfully pixellated, but it just doesn't convey the wandering part of the trope at all. I just see some trainers and their pokemon walking opposite directions down a road. And we only see a very short section of the road. This conveys "wandering the earth" how?

I seem to remember the image for this trope used to be of a bearded man walking through a large wooded landscape, and I think it worked much better than the current one. But I can't find any other images in the page history, so maybe I'm thinking of a different trope?

I don't know about the "pixelated" part, but we can definitely find a better image.

As much as Mad Max is a great example, the second picture is a more effective image.

The only thing that I can think of that would be as good as the Fallout pic is a screenshot from the end of almost any Incredible Hulk live action TV series episode.

I agree, the fallout pic is really good.

The Fallout one looks incredibly (and weirdly) appropiate.

Since it's pretty unanimous, I put the Fallout 3 pic up

Locking this, then.
