Yup, that's an image of Hercules all right. I don't see any amazons wanting him, though, so the picture isn't really illustrating the trope.

A possible suggestion...

[up] A little light on the "Amazon", but definitely better than the current.

She isnt an "Amazon" and it doesn't show that she loves him because he is strong.

You'd think there'd be more pictures of this. I have a book with a textbook illustration of this at home, but all I could find online is this:

[up] I hate the Wall of Text argument, but that's even too much for me...the text could go on a Quotes page.

[up] Alright. What about this one?

A bit literal on the "Amazon" part, but it's the best one so far.

Where's Hercules? Isn't that Luffy?

[up][up]I like that Luffy pic. But it doesn't really show that he's stronger. If you can find another one perhaps?

[up]What do you mean? Hercules is a character from Classical Mythology. It can also be used to refer to someone of exceptional strength and courage.

Right, that's why the Superman picture works. But Luffy? Hercules?

Maybe he has "exceptional strength" on the show, but you can't tell from a picture. He just looks like some scrawny kid.

It's a bunch of amazonian women fawning over a man.

[up][up] It's supposed to be "a strong woman must have a stronger man to dominate her, and no woman is happy with a man who isn't better than she is at everything."

[up]Is that Thor in the corner there?

[up]No. It's Hercules pretending to be Thor. Four hot amazons and Hercules.

I also like the Superman and Wonder Woman pic.

I copied that right from the second paragraph of the description. If you disagree with it, you should change it.

Superman and the four-panel suggestion get my vote.

The four panel one works as a visual, but I'd like to see a 2- or 3-panel vertical version so the text can be read.

[up]When I was looking for pictures I saw that one too, but I thought it would be NSFW.

It's borderline...I don't necessarily think it's NSFW, but I'd want a mod opinion on it.

I think it's a bit too suggestive, but I wouldn't say NSFW.
