That mindset only causes someone to think images are absolutely necessary for every piece of text there is, adequate or not, leading to a flood of unnecessary images. That's the wrong way to look at it. Images are not there to make texts more readable. They are there to illustrate what a text properly cannot. They complement the text, not the other way around.

An action sequence or an interaction beween characters is much more difficult to explain through text than something like an image or gif, because we usually have no idea about the state of the characters, how they react to the other and so on. It's a lot of detail that would inflate a text needlessly. I am not against the interrogation image with the punks (as that shows a myriad of different personalities, thus it's interesting), but I question, for example, the necessity of this one: https://bokunoheroacademia.fandom.com/wiki/File:Tanuma_enters_the_interrogation_room.png. The context comes entirely from the name of the image, otherwise it just looks like an old man sitting on a chair, which is as interesting as it sounds.

For example, what's the purpose of this one:

https://bokunoheroacademia.fandom.com/wiki/File:All_Might,_Shota_and_Vlad_King.png

It literally shows nothing but a reaction to something we cannot see. Even the name of the image only lists the characters. It's utterly forgettable since it doesn't even have context.
