This picture seems ideal for either Stupid Sacrifice or Love Makes You Dumb, but I'm not sure which one, if the tropers are so willing. Reading the article this image is about, she apparently doesn't die, but is blinded, so perhaps Love Makes You Dumb is a better fit. Still, this is a pretty obscure image and could work for either.

lol

I would say it fits Stupid Sacrifice better; the girl is not obviously "in love" with Supes.

[up] Ah, yeah, I sort of assumed people would automatically assume that's Lois. It is, actually.

Just one little quibble: It looks like it's an example of a Stupid Sacrifice, but, in context, is it? I mean, for all I know, that could be a kryptonite ray gun or something.

...

Unfortunately I have no idea, because once I uploaded the image to the site I lost track of the original, figuring I wouldn't need it. I'll try to dig it up.

As long as you don't spam images to the server just searching your name should do it.

Yeah, imo jumping in front of a gun pointed at Superman is a Stupid Sacrifice. I understand if you think "sacrifice" requires a result of permanent injury, but I disagree: the person making the sacrifice doesn't know whether actually it will turn out okay.

I'd say the image is good, since I think popcultural osmosis at least knows that Superman is durable, if not more durable than a random woman throwing herself into harm's way.
