I can't say it is a bad picture perse.But the picture quality is a bit low. And I believe we could get a picture that is more emotionally meaninful to the trope.

Using a more "explicit" picture might be better.One that involves humans preferably...

Representing having phileo love with animals pokemons might not be the best idea...

For example the guy at I Am Legend had his dog with himm all the time, and yet he felt lonely.

I wonder if there's any way of turning the Marvel Vs Capcom 3 episode 4 trailer into a good image? Right at the end we see Ryu has been beaten, reaching his hand up into the air for any sort of help, and just as his strength is about to give out, Wolverine grabs his hand and pulls him up, shouldering him while he and the rest of the heroes get ready for the ultimate battle.

[up][up] That's not bad, but I suspect there's a single-panel shot of something out there that would work better.

Does that count? It doesn't really show Luffy's friends coming to his aid or reassuring him that they have his back.

[up] Decent example, horrible page image. That will not resize well, and it might as well be a quote.

[up][up][up] They don't necessarily have to be there in person, as long as the character acknowledges that they're not alone.

[up]Except the trope is "Someone who feels alone has someone else remind them that they aren't"

The image you suggested doesn't have that element, Luffy already knows he isn't alone.

I'm not sure what's going on in that picture.

[up] ...a hand reaching up and Batman smiling?

Not very good visually.

It's stretched, it's pixelly, it's so bright it hurts my eyes.

And if it wasn't for all that, I still don't think I'd know what was going on.

It was just a proposal. We still have time for more.

That's actually Wolverine, but I agree, that doesn't really work for the trope and is a little kludgy visually.

Ok I will try to find one that is better.

I'd recommend a shot of the ending scene of It's A Wonderful Life — in his darkest hour, the hero's dozens of taken-for-granted friends, who he's helped so much over the years, come to his aid:

Here catch. Sometimes it's better to keep the K.I.S.S. philosophy.

I like it. But I don't know if other tropers will agree.

I'm not sold. It's just two people holding hands plus a Title Drop. Just having a Title Drop doesn't automatically mean an image demonstrates the trope.
