Following up from here. It was pointed out by multiple people that the current doesn't really demonstrate this trope.

Pull. Also vote for BUPKIS, since its a very difficult trope to illustrate in a pic

With his dress, cool mount, and Outrun the Fireball from the explosion in the background, he certainly looks like he's extremely good at what he does (whatever that is) and that he's doing the impossible. That fits the trope well enough.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

I think it just needs reinforcing that everyone also acknowledges his abilities:

For the curious here's the context: https://youtu.be/gXYfnWRp1Q0?si=moi8XPYGVRO9P1eY

Also it's a guy fleeing an explosion in the sky by surfing on the back of an alligator not sure how that doesn't sell "is awesome at what he does".

[up] sad

Honestly I don't see how it doesn't illustrate. And nobody has answered why.

It's a quality issue, not an illustrativeness one, from what I can gather.

The quality really is atrocious. Like, it's a good example, but the quality is bad I think no image is better than this blurry artifacted mess.

And I say that as a Red Dwarf fan

It doesn't help that that series of Red Dwarf was mastered in 4:3 SD, so there is probably no 800px wide version of the image available.

Even if the quality was good, I don't think it does a good job illustrating the trope all that well. I just don't see how riding an alligator in the sky is supposed to tell me that he's "really good at everything/what he does". And given how none of the other subpages for The Ace have an image, that gives the impression that this trope is pretty hard to illustrate in image form.

BUPKIS for now. Maybe an example from something like Torchwood, Chuck, or another action-based show could pull off the image.

Do not mess with creatures which you do not understand.
