Caption Discussion/Repair Thread: Low Tech Spears

Go To

This is the thread to use if you feel that the page image itself is good but the caption needs help.

If you think that both the image and the caption are poor, please make a thread in Image Pickin' for the page, and we'll work on the image and caption both at the same time.

As with other TRS and IP threads, please state your reasons and make your case in your first post. Don't make the other posters spend time trying to pry it out of you.

... Yeah, I'm fine with pulling the Blade Lock caption, too. It doesn't really aid the image's trope illustrativeness and it's not even that funny or witty.

Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.

I've pulled the caption from Blade Lock and tagged the page for this thread.

A crowner's hooked for the caption for High-Speed Hijack.

About Boss-Arena Idiocy's caption:

"Er... you did. Well, your dad."

I removed the spoilered out bit for the obvious reason that it violates Handling Spoilers by having a spoiler above the examples line. Epoch Flame restored it with the edit reason "Fixing a previous edit which unintentionally removed information."

I fail to understand how my removal could be mistaken for an accident, seeing how it was the only edit I made on that time stamp and the edit reason makes it very clear not only that I did it on purpose, but why I did it.

The spoilered part isn't even necessary for the image to work. I say keep it off.

[up] Exactly what I was thinking. The spoiler text is completely unnecessary.

For the record, I sent Epoch Flame a PM asking them to post here and better explain the restoration, but one look at EpochFlame's edit history shows, well, not many edits. Only two since November 21st, the other one being on December 9th, so it may be a while before we get a response, if we get one at all.

Sorry if this seems like a bad time to discuss another page's caption, but:

If I make the main image on ComicBook.Patsy Walker the one that shows Patsy as both herself and Hellcat, would it need a caption?

I'd say so, yes, but the Hellcat section on that page already has a double pic in it, and I'm wondering if that content shouldn't be split to its own page.

Ah, sorry! That bit in the spoilers had been there for ages and I'd thought someone had removed it thinking that it was Bowser. Wasn't aware of that policy, will be more careful in the future. Thanks!

Calling the crowner; the caption's added and tagged on High-Speed Hijack.

Voting isn't trending that way, but given the context of the pictured scene (the victim had just been hitting on Aubrey, one of the core cast... after having just delivered a company lecture on sexual harassment) I can't help but prefer the "worst" caption.

I've called the crowner for the caption for Vertical Kidnapping, made the edits to that page, and hooked a crowner for the caption for the new pic on Emma Frost.

Gonna go ahead and call this one since the votes are so lopsided and haven't shifted much. The new caption's up and tagged on Emma Frost.

Does anyone think the new pic on Deadly Delivery could use a caption?

The first thing that came to mind was "Here's your pizza... with a side of murder".

Either way I think it needs one.

Not bad. As an alternative, "DeadEx is on time again."

I think the potholes in the caption of Haruhi Suzumiya are mostly comprised of spoilers.

370 is good for Deadly Delivery.
