I've got a few options for the Monster/GTA page image we could try out:

1.1 Catalina:

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/catalina.JPG

"I've got your precious Maria. If you don't want her face to look like she fell out with the butcher, bring $500,000 to the Villa at Cedar Grove."

Dimitri Rascalov (I found three pictures that could work):

1.2 Betraying and killing Jimmy Pegorino:

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dimitri_rascalov.JPG

"I didn't work this hard to share the spoils of a victory. Goodbye."

1.3 Kidnapping Roman:

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/roman_held_at_gunpoint_gtaiv.jpeg "Niko-I thought I would send you this picture. It appears your cousin is in a bit of a fix. Your friend, Dimitri." I could find another quote altogether if this doesn't work, especially since it isn't Dimitri pictured there.

1.4 Killing Roman on his wedding day:

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gtaiv.JPG

"Niko Bellic? A gift from Dimitri Rascalov."/"I laughed when I heard that Roman was dead, HA!"

Any thoughts? These pictures capture how bad each villain is?

[tup] 1.3 until something better turns up.

1.2 relies on the small subtitle to highlight the heinousness. The others rely on captions to tell what's going on at all, especially in a game franchise where the Player Character is usually a Villain Protagonist who can kill people just for fun.

[tdown] for all. The first and last images suffer the most from not having the monster in question and for a Complete Monster image, the "monster" in question always has to be in the image in some way or another to get an idea who the monster is. As for the middle ones, it's like Bullman said, they seem typical enough crimes in the GTA series so none of them seem too heinous by the series' standards.

No to all of them.

1.3 is just a downright lie, as it implies the guy holding Roman at gunpoint is Dimitri, but he's just a nameless lacky. You really should have mentioned that in the post, because otherwise it's deceiving anyone who votes on this thread without full context.

1.2 is the only one showing the monster in question, and it still isn't very good.

Okay, I've got two pictures here featuring Donald Love feasting on what is clearly a human torso. The first one contains the caption, "It tastes just like chicken, but somehow, more, err, sentient." The second one has no caption and lets the image speak for itself.

[up][tdown] Without the context, it looks like just two guys having a lunch meeting; it's not very obvious to me that it's a human torso. It's also hard to tell which one is supposed to be the CM. Does anyone have any good images of a CM directly doing something to someone else on screen?

Donald is the one with a bloody plate, and the ribs on the torso look human, but fair enough.

@Amateur Storytime

Two things:

1. your photo is a way better pick

2. I understand what you mean with the image of Roman being held hostage. I should emphasize that the quote attached was the best I could find that fit the situation. I apologize for appearing dishonest, but I couldn't find any quotes which really fit as well, and I even said that quote recommendation could be replaced if it didn't work (even then, it's still the result of Dimitri having Roman kidnapped, the other option was an image of him bound and beaten that Dimitri texts to Niko but that was down-voted twice for being too unclear).

I apologize if my post was overly accusatory, but the fact remains that the image must feature the CM in question, which three out of the four images, including the one with Roman at gunpoint, do not.

@Amateur Storytime Fair. I'll admit I'm a bit new to proposing images, so I wanted to operate by using the actions of the Monster in question as opposed to the character themselves. I guess this is a bit of a tough learning curve. I did find one image that could work, but it was also used by True Tropes wiki, so I didn't really want to just piggyback off of them. Anyway, here goes:

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/donaldlove_gtalcs_cannibalism.jpeg

We can use the quote from the image you proposed: "It tastes like chicken, but somehow more, err, sentient."

#17: Jul 23rd 2024 at 1:37:50 PM

Yeah, I'll see if I can find a better quote. I think the sentient one is a good start, but maybe one that really sells that the dude's a cannibal freak works.
