Heartwarming Moments, Funny Moments, Moment of Awesome, Awesome Music, Tear Jerker, and Nightmare Fuel subpages tend to attract low-quality and unillustrative images that don't evoke the emotions they should, even if the scenes are examples in context. While it is very easy to pull them, the Image Pickin' forum has trouble finding replacements most of the time, leaving most of these threads to close due to inactivity and take up room while doing so.
In order to free up slots, this thread is designed to handle moments subpages with a single bad image.
This thread is not for:
- Start a thread in the following cases
- Removing an image because you already have an alternative suggestion on hand
- Moments page images that are duplicated somewhere else
- Moments pages with multiple images
- Pages that are on Image Pickin' Special Cases (assuming their status allows it)
- Images that you personally don't find funny/sad/heartwarming/awesome/scary, or can't fully glean the context of, but still have some visual element of the Moment they're supposed to evoke (for example, a messy explosion might still be worth keeping on an Awesome/ page even if you don't understand what's exploding, because of Stuff Blowing Up). Remember that these are YMMV items.
- If the only problem is that it's low-quality, try the quality upgrade thread
first.
- If the problem is that the on-page examples are bad, please see the Moments cleanup thread and the specific Nightmare Fuel cleanup thread.
How it works
- First, have you Failed a Spot Check? Check the page source: maybe a previous thread has explained the reasoning for why it's on the page. You can also go to the Ask for Explanations thread for other opinions.
- Link the page with the image you want examined. Please explain why you think it is a bad image (e.g. JAFAAC, "more funny than scary"). Posts without such reasoning will not be entertained. (You can use the Image Pickin' thread guidelines for reasoning help.) If suggesting multiple pages in a single post, please put them in a bulleted list to ensure that each entry can stand on its own and that they won't be missed when the crowner is made.
- Similar to the Image Suggestion thread, a crowner will be run containing the proposed pulls. Each crowner will run about 15 items at a time and last for 5 days. Please do not add items to a crowner once it's running.
- After 24 hours, anything with 10 or up votes will be pulled.
- After 3 days, anything with 8 or up votes will be pulled.
- After 5 days, anything with a positive ratio of at least 2:1 will be pulled.
- Pulled images will be tagged as such:
%%https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1642193091068711500
%%Please do not add a new image without going through the Image Suggestion thread or starting a new Image Pickin' thread
This does not count towards their thread count.
If you think of a replacement image after an image has been pulled, you can use the Image Suggestion thread or start a new thread for a replacement.
Kept images will be tagged as such:
%% Image kept on page via crowner in the Moments Images Cleanup Thread: [crowner link]
%% https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1642193091068711500
%% Please don't change or remove without starting a new thread.

Hi! :3
Awesome.Independence Day: Just two characters and a caption.
TearJerker.Independence Day: Just two characters and a caption
Funny.Independence Day: Unclear what's supposed to be funny. Its just Will Smith doing a pose.
NightmareFuel.Independence Day: JAFAAC
The Nightmare Fuel page might work, since you can see something around his neck.
Heartwarming.Independence Day is just two characters and a caption.
"Cool. Coolcoolcool."

I don't know a dad holding his kid and smiling seems pretty heartwarming personally.
To be a Master
The Awesome Independence Day picture could be easily replaced, not just simply removed.
EDIT: I am considering the iconic image of the White House being blown up, but has that image been used anywhere else on TV Tropes?

Hi! :3
Opened a thread to discuss TearJerker.One Piece, so disregard the suggestion on the crowner.
- Funny.Unus Annus: Just some guy smiling. Nothing funny happening.
- TearJerker.Who Killed Markiplier: Just a bunch of group photos. Not very sad out of context.
- NightmareFuel.A Heist With Markiplier: JAFAAC.
- NightmareFuel.In Space With Markiplier: Unclear as to what is happening.

If the image has to rely on the caption to work, then it's not a good image.

Keep NightmareFuel.In Space With Markiplier
Sometimes the image being unclear adds to the eerieness, as is the case here. You can immediately tell there are inhuman glowing eyes and a hand either reaching out for you or trying to hold back what's approaching, the rest you imagine yourself
Plus, when you pair it with the caption it works really well.

- TearJerker.Persona 5 Tactica - I think this is a little overly reliant on the caption and I think the dialogue subtitles are supposed to be what make it sad combined with the tears in her face but it's too scrunched up.
- TearJerker.Yakuza 1 - Nothing really sad about two men about to fight, reliant on the person reading the page to be familiar about it in the context
- TearJerker.Yakuza 2 - Same reason, nothing really tearjerking about two men about to fight, reliant on the person reading the page to be familiar about it in the context
- TearJerker.Yakuza 3 - I think this is supposed to be evoking happy tears/a heartwarming page if there was one made for this game? Either way, I don't think it's particularly sad.

Doesn't help that the subtitles on the image for TearJerker.Persona 5 Tactica are very hard to read normally.

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

This thread is for Moments Images, not the moment examples.
I understand what the moment for Heartwarming.Sonic Superstars makes it heartwarming but the framing is really poor that it's kinda hard to see Amy and Trip on the right. Should this be removed or should a separate thread be made for a cropped version that could replace it?
- TearJerker.Kirby Star Allies is just a big white ball smiling. Not even remotely sad out of context.

Hi! :3
Characters crying are not enough reason to pull

The lighting on Kirby in the Tearjerker example helps it work for me. The others are a bit vague without context.

janet likes her new icon.
Funny.Batman V Superman Dawn Of Justice is literally JAFAAC—worse, it isn't even funny with either.

I get why Awesome.X Men 97 is an awesome idea in the story, but not convinced the image sells it if you don't already know. It's dark and the characters are small, too,
TearJerker.X Men 97 is Magneto crying, but heavily reliant on the caption. Not sure about that one.
(I really like Heartwarming.X Men 97, though)
I think Awesome.X Men 97 just needed a quality upgrade (I just gave it one)
Hi! :3
Much better
he/him
Agreed. Huge improvement.
TearJerker.Love Live: Collage of pictures, does not really depict the moment (even the caption says as much), plus Nico's face on the fourth pic looks kinda funny.

Is it kosher for all of the NightmareFuel.SCP Foundation secondary pages (like SCP Foundation: SCPs 5000 to 5999 and SCP Foundation: SCPs 1000 to 1999) to have images?
Crown Description:
This crowner covers posts from here to here (inclusive) and may run for up to 5 days, depending on voting.
- Vote UP to pull an image; vote DOWN to keep it on the page.
- After 24 hours, anything with +10 or more will be pulled.
- After 3 days, anything with +8 or more will be pulled.
- After 5 days, any remaining items with a positive ratio of at least 2:1 will be pulled, any items below the 2:1 ratio will be kept, and the crowner will be closed.
- If an item has a (CLOSED) note, there is no need to vote on it; the result has already been decided.
- Do not add more items to the crowner once it's running.
I'll open a thread for TearJerker.One Piece when there is space
