Does Not Illustrate: Act Break

It might be useful to have a diagram for this page, but the current is illustrating something else entirely. I'd like to pull this regardless of a replacement, but can someone else find/make a replacement?

Either a different, more suitable diagram or a lampshade can illustrate it, I feel.

Seconding pull. May have to BUPKIS at a last resort.

For some reason I thought there was another page that had this image, but I can't seem to find it. Perhaps the image would fit better on Plot since that page discusses "exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and resolution"?

Supporting BUPKIS in any case.

Wouldn't including pictures of the acts alongside a diagram work just fine?

definitely pull current. has nothing to do with the trope. abstaining on BUPKIS for now, in case crossover wants to look for a good pic.

Pull. I imagine we could depict this with a troper-made image.

There was an attempt.

I also agree with RJ. Pull the current from Act Break and move it to Plot. Maybe with a quality upgrade.

Suggestion from One Piece.

Technically not a commercial, but it's inspired by how Kabuki plays break their acts.

[up] That one might work.

Not feeling the SU suggestion, it relies on just being told that each scene is a new act. It does nothing for me.

[up]i was feeling the same way about the SU pic, but i couldnt put my finger on why.

[up][up]that one is okay, but i think one that had a little less text around the edges, a more dynamic backdrop, or both, might work better. but that might just be my personal preference.

If I'm understanding the trope, SU isn't even an example (except maybe the hour-long "Change Your Mind") since normal episodes are too short to have commercial breaks.

The current one is very similar to the one on The Climax (same idea, basically).

One more bump; the leaders are only one vote different ATM.

I just voted. I took 12 out of consensus range by doing so.

Calling this one. The page has been tagged as BUPKIS and I'll update the list shortly; locking up.
