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.

It being a cartoon from, like, the 60s sort of fixes it for me

Very Spooky
Is Soul Power illustrative? I see a soul leaving its owner's body, but not necessarily soul-based powers.
Is A Storm Is Coming entirely demonstrative? The trope is about weather ominously foreshadowing the progress of the plot—which the image doesn't necessarily show—but I'm wondering if the dramatic tone is indicative enough of the core idea.
back lol
Re: Hard on Soft Science, I do think it does work - Economics is a soft science compared to physics, chemistry, etc. and I get how it's being made fun of, but I do think a better picture is possible, particularly one where the "hard sciences good, soft sciences bad" dichotomy is shown. I wouldn't pull without replacement though.
Re: All Your Colors Combined, I do see all the colors, I wouldn't pull without a replacement.
Re: HoYay.The Smurfs, I'd thread that. I get the arguments for and against - I don't think the subtext was accidental, but there also might be an element of Have a Gay Old Time involved.
Re: Soul Power, don't like it at all. It looks closer to Your Soul Is Mine! or a non-winged version of Winged Soul Flies Off at Death.
Re: A Storm Is Coming, not a fan. Since it's just a standalone painting, I could even argue Does Not Demonstrate since the trope is "storms are Foreshadowing" and there's no foreshadowing involved.
I wouldn't pull A Storm Is Coming without a really strong replacement. You can see the weather is clear for now but there's a storm brewing in the clouds, and the looks of concern imply that something bad is coming too. It's a little more metaphorical, but I think it really works.

Cerebro Electro lacks any signifier of "intelligence".

Yeah, it looks more like the robot is shooting lightning from its head.
I agree, A Storm Is Coming works fine.
Cerebro Electro he is supposed to be shooting lightning from his big exposed brain (I think he's supposed to be a crablike alien rather than a robot). The angle and quality are terrible though. When a slot opens I think I've found a better shot of him.

Hi! :3
Is SacrificialLion.Video Games illustrates the trope well ?

Nope.

Hi! :3
Yeah, just a guy getting shot.
What is YMMV.Home Page going for?
the Retromancer
YMMV has a "fuel" motif site-wide, so the image is a gas station.

Your "Mileage" Might Vary. Tis a pun.

That flew over me, I've thought Accidental Nightmare Fuel, High Octane Nightmare Fuel, Paranoia Fuel and Fetish Fuel were the reason.
TroperWall / WikiMagic Cleanup
The Scrappy relies too much on Fan Myopia. The image itself is not indicative at all why Scrappy is hated by the fans, and the caption, while wordy, doesn't help to understand it any better.
The universe is under no obligation to make sense to us.
the Retromancer
The Scrappy has the Scrappy because he's the Trope Namer and the most known example. The page is on Image Pickin' Special Cases because it'd be nearly impossible to get something better.
"Impossible to do better" is usually a good reason to make the page BUPKIS.

But having fun image once in a while doesn't hurt. I don't think the image needs to be yanked

It's also had a zillion threads so a thread will need a suggestion at minimum
I think I mentioned on the last Scrappy thread that Scooby is recoiling in horror from Scrappy, thus showing that he's reviled even by the other characters. It's not as bad as most Trope Namer pics are.
I do, however, think the caption could get changed to be clearer about Scooby cowering.

Well, the issue is that in context that's definitely not what he's doing. But it does kinda look like it. It may just be too famous an intro.

Characters.Transformers Film Series Decepticons Why are there two different images of Megatron? One looks like a model a fan made from the film and not something made by the original makers of the film and the other one looks like it came from a book/comic.
