Just a Face and a Caption: Take It To The Bridge

What even is this trope? I assume it’s when two people fight on a bridge, in which case the image is textbook JAFAAC. While the Bridge of Eldin is a battlefield in Brawl, there is nothing in the image to tell us that. Just show an image of characters fighting on the bridge, and it’ll be fine.

More like JABAAC (Just a Bridge and a Caption).

Demolish it.

Pull.

Drop it on Kirk.

The trope is "Bridges as Symbolism", not just "Fighting on Bridges".

Pull anyway, though.

This might be a good place for a collage.

How much consensus do I need to cut the image?

( How do I create a Laconic page, anyway?)

Just select "Create New" on the namespace selection (where "Main" and "Video Examples" are) and select "Laconic".

Depending on how well the trope is used, it may need to go to the TRS.

Usually around 5-7 is the minimum for consensus, but a mod will call it.

Please don't start a TRS thread without proof! It's backlogged enough as is. I think the description is clear enough that it's about symbolic or otherwise important bridges.

Maybe this◊ from Kung fu Panda? It at least gives me a sense of confrontation, and high stakes given that it's a rope bridge in the misty mountains. This◊ shot from Thor Ragnarok might also work; the enemy they're facing might be too small but it does give you a sense of "something awesome on the other side of the bridge". Cropping this◊ art from Coco could work as well; there's a contrast between the worlds of the living and dead.

Pull current. I think I like the Kung Fu Panda best.

The Kung Fu Panda one is good, but has awful quality.

From Steven Universe: 1◊, 2◊

From Super Smash Bros. Brawl: 1◊, 2◊ (2 also has awful quality but could be recreated if chosen)

11.2 in wikisize

Battle of Helm's Deep? [1]◊

So far I like 12 the best.

Alternatively, here is one with less battle and more symbolism, from Bridge of Spies.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look that good in wikisize, and I couldn't find a better image, given that the particular scene is set at night.

The Coco one is definitely the best so far, since it's the only one that isn't just a fight on a bridge.

The Coco one does seem to show the trope the best if it really is not about fighting on bridges (that could be a different potential trope). Admittedly, it's ultrawide with no real way of cropping without losing the meaning and I'm not a fan of those images as they tend to feel really squished in wikisize.

Crop ideas for the ones in 9 — taking a direct screencap from the video improved the quality of the KFP suggestion. I think for Coco it's okay if you can't clearly see the relatives, since the two worlds are different anyway.

Crowner's hooked.

Going ahead and bumping this; one in the green.

One more bump; one in the green.

Calling this one. The new pic's in and tagged; working on the IL page now. Caption?

Old pic:

"They didn't really have a plan to stop Hela, they were just going to cross that bridge when they got to it."

The composition, three dudes plus girl in blue, shape of Asgard, and the fact the rainbow bridge seems a little bit golden made me think:

"Follow the rainbow brick bridge!

We're off to fight Hela,

the wicked warrior witch!"

I've included these options in a crowner in the caption repair thread; locking this one.
