History Main / EstablishingTeamShot

Not to be confused with AvengersAssemble, a film and TV trope for a montage of {{Establishing Character Moment}}s for each member of a team. May come at the end of an OpeningCreditsCastParty.

So the gang's all here! Hyped up for most of the arc this dream team makes an epic appearance! How? With an establishing shot with its name in bold letters of course! The Team Establishing Shot is a process wherein a newly assembled or created team appears in a a big flashy pose with them all together. It's common on covers but also appears on the back page or final shot when the preceding installment has been about the formation of the team. Sometimes [[DramatisPersonae little bios or epithets for each of the members will accompany the images]].

It comes in many flavors of subtropes:

* SuperSentaiStance - when they have a standard "action pose"
* TeamShot - when it's a posed photo or portrait.
* VFormationTeamShot - a very standard standing in a line setup.
* Jumping At The Screen - all the characters are jumping at the reader.

* VFormationTeamShot - a very standard standing in a line.

* Done in the opening cutscene of VideoGame/FinalFantasyType0, showing the members of Class Zero preparing to stop the Millitesi invasion. The shot in question is seen in a lot of promotional materials.

* These get used quite effectively in ''Manga/OnePiece''. Ninety-nine percent of the time, the [[BadassCrew Straw Hat Crew]] bicker, goof-off, or are otherwise consumed with bickering. About [[OnceAnEpisode once every story arc, however,]] they pull it together for whatever it is they have to do (typically saving [[TrueCompanions one of their own]]). Good examples are four of them marching on Arlong Park for Nami, or six of them (including one [[CharlieBrownFromOuttaTown who was persona non grata, under an assumed identity]]) [[http://www.mangafox.com/manga/one_piece/v41/c390/17.html standing on a battlement]], squaring off with the [[TheMenInBlack Cipher Pol No. 9]] and declaring war against the whole world to save Nico Robin.

* Marvel Loves this as shown in ''[[ComicBook/TheAvengers The Mighty Avengers]]'', Illuminati, Cabal, ComicBook/DarkAvengers Dark ComicBook/XMen, Secret Warriors, Hydra and God Squad all got these during their establishing issues. Most of which had their own [[MundaneMadeAwesome '''Font''']]
