This image was voted down in the Image Suggestion thread. Other ideas?

The OP could work if it was paired with a shot of the villain to give the needed context.

There's this image from The Three Little Pigs (the Joseph Jacobs version has them eat the wolf at the end).

Any of the suggestions work.

Maybe we can pair the OP with this image? I think he looks suitably menacing.

Three Little Pigs isn't bad either, but I think Anaconda is also lacking the villainous context.

A one shot would be preferable.

7 is good...what's going on in 8.2, is he being eaten by ants?

4 > 7 >>>>>>> the others

4 is more concise and the predator/prey relationship is clear.

4's pretty good, too...no real preference between it and 7.

This one never got bumped and the two in the green are practically neck and neck, so let's give it through the weekend and see if one pulls ahead.

Would this be too much of a spoiler?

Personally, I think it's fine... the movie's over 60 years old, and we don't actually see Hook's eventual fate from the fall. (He survives, actually making the example a subversion.)

That's Exit, Pursued by a Bear.

^ I haven't seen the movie but the example says Hook was eaten (as opposite to running off pursued).

[up][up]Good point.

[up]That's what happens in the book afaik; he's Spared by the Adaptation in the Disney movie (and it gets downgraded to Exit, Pursued by a Bear).

Way past time to call this one. The new pic's up and tagged; caption?
