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.

On Heartwarming.Battle For Dream Island, I'd like to suggest changing the caption to this lyric from "Crafting Our Friendship":

I feel the caption at Utopia Justifies the Means is pointing the obvious and not relevant to the trope itself.

For Didn't Think This Through, I figured the caption was relevant, as both it and the image were from the same story.

[up][up] I prefer the former but it is very chained-sinkholy, I wonder if there's a way to still use it but make it less all-blue-text?

Characters.Sonic The Hedgehog One Shot Characters has the caption for the Custom Hero/Avatar image as this:

Not to sound too much like a killjoy, but none of the other pictures on this page have a caption, I think this is a really "done to death" kinda joke regarding the game and character, plus it really doesn't add anything or is relevant. Would it be alright to remove?

[up][up][up][tup]

[up] Eh I kinda like the joke myself but I can imagine it could be grating. I wouldn't be against it being removed. Or maybe swapped with something like "Finally, everyones OCs made digital reality" or something?

[up]Thanks. Thinking it over again, I think I'll keep it around for now until an appropriate replacement is suggested, it's mostly harmless, even if I don't find the joke particularly funny myself.

This caption from Star Trek: Insurrection seems like a remnant from snarkier days:

Actually NOT a movie about the Enterprise fighting a giant ghost face in space.note

Is the caption on Superpower Silly Putty Fan Myopia for Superdickery?

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

A recent IP thread for Sid the Science Kid closed with no caption discussion, and now the new pic has no caption while the old pic had one. While captions are not a requirement, I dont really like what happened here.

[down] Agreed (but reorder the character names to fit the new pic).
