My only issues with 1.1 is the first panel it a bit dull and unactiony for the trope, not a deal breaker but I found another frame from the same scene that I think is a bit more visually interesting and looks to me a bit more "team mates turn on each other" than the other:

I have an easy pick for the winner

But jokes aside [up] What I don't like about both this and a bit in 1.1 is that the first panel's background manages to make it look like it's two panels, so it's confusing and it doesn't look like these two are even in the same shot.

Anyways, One Piece (note, they need to get edited into one)

[tdown] to all of them. The problem is that if you are unfamiliar with the show it's impossible to tell who is the hero and who is the lancer.

[up] Tbh you can kinda tell who's the hero of the two in the Final Space and One Piece suggestions, even if, sadly, because of prejudice.

Gary has a lot of Primary-Color Champion going on and is blonde, visibly younger and human, so I assume he's The Hero, not the rough-looking mature cat guy

Luffy, scar aside, also looks more conventionally appealing design-wise, has PCC going on and doesn't havw a huge nose like Usopp.

Hmmm I do find myself wondering if one of the Iron Man / Cap options might fit Headbutting Heroes better than it's current? If only due to if you don't cotton on to it being Thor and the Hulk it looks like "viking fighting a giant green monster" whereas Cap and Iron Man are wearing superhero outfits?

[up] Oddly despite being called Fighting the Lancer, the trope actually says it also covers fights between the Six Ranger as well. And whilst Jen is the tactical leader Wes is a Rookie Red Ranger who still gets all the cool "leader" tech (and is arguably the Protagonist even if he doesn't show up first).

[up] I did not know that it covers fighting the sixth ranger as well. In that case, I am good with 13.1.

[tdown] to 13.1, it looks like they are dancing rather than fighting

[tdown] to 13.2 because it doesn't show any blows being delivered

[up] I'll give you 13.1 (I had the same reaction when it was the only screencap of the fight I could find) but I will see if I can zoom a bit on 13.2 as Eric's pointing a gun at Wes.

Even with the crop, the gun isn't clear. I still prefer 1.1 or 1.2 because in both cases, the first panel establishes that they are on the same team (with 1.2 being stronger in terms of showing camaraderie) and the second panel shows a clear fight

I don't mind 1.1 (I still stand by 6 having a more visually showing them doing superheroing together); 1.2 is kinda blurry. My Power Rangers suggestions were more just in case people were having issues telling who the hero / lancer (or hero / Sixth Ranger) was just to show the team with some other ques (the back to back posing, the fact that they both wear red) and then a fight.

I'm really not feeling any of them due to the confusion people unfamiliar with the works could have about who's supposed to be The Lancer.

Would any of these from The Walking Dead work? Rick is more prominent at the front of the images to show that he's the hero.

Not feeling any. Fighting the Lancer needs first to show The Lancer, which is already very context-reliant. Anything else may as well be Fighting Your Friend or Headbutting Heroes.
