This thread is meant to be a place for people to ask questions and request discussion about existing page images they have concerns about; this can be used to determine if a thread should be made to replace an image.
For example, questions about Just a Face and a Caption concerns, whether a picture requires additional context, whether a picture demonstrates all of the necessary aspects or a trope, or whether a trope better demonstrates a related trope can be asked here.
Might I suggest collaging the pic for Introduced Species Catastrophe?

It probably doesn't need to be three panels. Just 1 and 2 or 1 and 3 should be fine. Otherwise, looks decent. I'll open a thread once a spot is open.

Got lost last page: Is Victorious Roar appropriately "victorious"? I can't really tell that the T-Rex "won" anything from this pic. It just looks like roaring.
Also, is My Biological Clock Is Ticking JAFAAC? It might just be the art style, but she doesn't even look old enough to be worrying about that?

Officially intimidated
She is showing worry about not having had the chance to conceive yet. I oppose pulling without a replacement.
135 - 169 - 273 - 191 - 188 - 230 - 300
Without dialogue it is very often hard to infer ages from drawn media anyway, regardless of art style. And the precise age isn't as important as the worry.
Victorious Roar looks fine to me, you can see she's occupied an area where she shouldn't be and the banner fluttering down symbolically implies that as well. But I might be having a hard time shaking off familiarity with the work given it came out when I was a kid so that scene is kinda baked into my brain really.
Victorious Roar is fine, but I agree that My Biological Clock Is Ticking is Talking Heads. The visuals don't add anything to the image.

Very Spooky
I agree Victorious Roar is fine, though I do have a replacement in mind (if enough people do think it could stand to be better).
back lol
Discarded and Feeling Blue
Does Prank Date work? It seems more like a rejection than a "haha, this isn't actually a date" scenario.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
Rejection itself wouldn't be a problem but the zipper incident doesn't work well with the concept.
Re: Victorious Roar - I'd like to see 's suggestion, since it might be better. I am a little worried that Current runs a little too hard on Fan Myopia - like, we all know Jurassic Park and we know the context of this scene, but does the fluttering banner get across "victory" out of context?
My Biological Clock Is Ticking seems to have some mixed responses; might take that to thread to get more opinions/suggestions.
Also, on Anti-Police Song - can you tell the little guy in the crosshair is a cop without the caption? It's fuzzy enough it just kinda looks like a dude in a hat.

I like that.
Is A Light in the Distance clear? I can't see "distance" very well.

working on the chart
Me neither.
I'm just a psycho, babe! Come and go out my mind. I didn't lose it, babe! There wasn't much to find.
The Yggdrasil Cretin
I feel like I may unknowingly open up the gates of Hell with this one, but Monster.Western Animation is really weak imo. The Entity does not look anthropomorphic in any way and it's about to eat the people, so without the caption it looks like just another "Non-sapient Monster doing Non-sapient things" pic.
I agree, that looks like a literalé monster, not an irredeemably evil character, as the trope should be.
Very Spooky
Not sure what I’m looking at The Chooser of the One, even as someone familiar with the movie.
back lol
I think that's not great, but a Keep Until Better Image Suggested. I'm not familiar with the work, but I kind of get it. If we can find something that's more obvious that would be great, but there is no need to change it to something overly texty because it gets the point across.
Does Action Genre Hero Guy need ten pics? Especially since the point is they all look the same?
the Retromancer
I'd think that just illustrates the point. But maybe 6-8 is enough.

TroperWall / WikiMagic Cleanup
The point is that they all look like a generic baldish guy. So it's fine. I suppose we could cut it down but we don't need to; in the spirit of "don't fix what isn't broken".
Very Spooky
What said. The number of pics might be a bit excessive, but this is a archetype trope, so having a large collage isn't much of a problem (especially when the panels are very uniform).
The Yggdrasil Cretin
Another Complete Monster gripe. Monster.Visual Novels features a character whose entire CM section on the work's YMMV page is Spoilered. So isn't it too spoilery a page image?
That was chosen here
. I am not familiar with the work, so I can't really say. Just keep in mind that tropers tend to overuse spoiler markup for any random development, so it's not always the best gauge. So it's better to ask things like:
- Is the character being evil a spoiler?
- Are the actions depicted in the image spoilers?
Introduced Species Calamity: I can see that the frogs are eating the crop, and since frogs don't normally chow on field crops, something is probably wrong. It does rely on the caption for "introduced", but I can live with that.
Redemption in the Rain: I agree that "arms outstretched, looking joyously towards the heavens" looks enough like redemption to me.
