Ask for Explanations of Page Pics:

The trope Gun Kata is basically moving in a certain way during a gun fight, and/or doing hand-to-hand combat while both parties wield a gun. The image is a dark gray series of silhouettes; I don't think that illustrates the trope at all.

I agree that there are quality issues with it, but it's a Keep Until Better Image Suggested for me.

Here's a replacement suggestion

I started a thread about it.

Why is Prison Rape barred from having a caption? Isn't it JAFAAC anyway??

He's in a jail cell and another prisoner is looking at him in a "you sure got a pretty mouth" way...that implies the trope about as well as it can be implied. The previous thread decided to leave it without a caption and let the pic speak for itself.

I assume that Not Used to Freedom is an entire Garfield strip?

I believe it is. Just the second and third panels could work.

What do people think of the image on Fission Mailed? Sure, it's the trope namer, but it's essentially a meaningless empty blue room, a lot of unreadably tiny text, and the trope name in the corner. It doesn't strike me as a very good image.

I think it's fine. It's obviously a Game Over screen, but with a lot of hints that the game over is a fake-out.

And by "lots of hints" you mean "a single hint, i.e. the misspelling in the top right corner", right?

If you're not familiar with the game depicted, it doesn't even particularly look like a game over screen.

"EMIT CONTINENT" is also a hint, but without having played the game, I don't see anything else that indicates the game over screen is fake.

I've never played the game either, and I understood it. "Fission Mailed" is obviously a corrupted mission failed at least.

I wouldn't mind finding a solid replacement if we find a solid replacement, but it's not bad enough to leave the page blank.

Yeah, I’d say that’s a weak Keep Until Better Image Suggested case.

I'm with here. Start a thread if you have alternate suggestions, but otherwise keep.

Amusing Injuries looks somewhat off to me... is this fan art that almost-but-not-quite gets the shapes right? If so, should we replace it by a similar image from the cartoon?

That does look like fan art...shouldn’t be hard to find something from the actual cartoon.

How well do the following page images work for people unfamiliar with the works?:

• Heartwarming.Edgar And Ellen
• Awesome.Beasts Of Burden

The former is OK, since it looks like the titular twins are hugging. The latter looks more scary than awesome.

Is Rich Bitch too close to being JAFAAC? I’m seeing the “rich” but not really the “bitch”.

That one was selected in this crowner...which is borked. Her facial expression sells it well enough that I think it's a solid Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

I hadn't even considered the possibility of it looking scary. Well, there goes my alternative image idea of the same character with even more fire, and *checks the scene in question* also surrounded by burning corpses.

It'd work great for Nightmare Fuel, though!

Heh. It's not played for Nightmare Fuel though, it's a moment of triumph. Well, there shouldn't be any shortage of potential images for nightmare fuel.

Doesn't matter if it's actually Nightmare Fuel in context if it looks scary.
