General Page Quote Discussion:

The Ships as Tropes jump in SoYouWantTo.Reconstruct A Trope seems too indirect, unless we're talking about Shipping.

Slice-and-Dice Swordsmanship doesn't seem relevant either?

Agree on Slice-and-Dice Swordsmanship. I can imagine that he's talking about swordfighting, but it's not clear from the quote, and again when it comes to the page quote, you shouldn't have to guess.

Vote to pull both quotes.

I think SoYouWantTo.Reconstruct A Trope's quote is too indirect too

Between. Merritt rook and Tony Rosati. Which quote do you prefer for the upcoming Magnificent Bastard Law & Order page

As I see it, Rosari's is shorter and more to the point.

Homeless Pigeon Person's Quote and Image are about the same character from the same work. The image makes it look more like she's homeless than the quote. Any replacements?

Posting them both here for visual:

I'm good with either. Both are great quotes.

I'll vote for the first one, since it's shorter.

^Same, though it's still too long for my preference.

reverting

Schmuck Bait and What Does This Button Do? are duplicates, with What Does This Button Do? being a longer version of the same one. I propose this one from the Real Life page for Schmuck Bait.

While I get wanting to include the Joker's speech, I feel the quote on The Killing Joke is a bit too lengthy. Might I suggest shortening it to this.

That reads as better to me.

In Image Pickin' for They Copied It, So It Sucks!, one suggestion was turned down as "better as a page quote", but it's suggested that it could replace what's currently there.

Picked up this quote after rewatches of WesternAnimation.Spider Man Across The Spider Verse and thought it could fit for Main.Hammerspace:

I'd be fine with that. Imo the current quote is more Bag of Holding (but ofc overlap between the two concepts).

Edited by Yindee on Jun 30th 2023 at 10:36:02 AM

That's preferable to the current quote in my opinion.

Noticed this just now, but back in October 2022 someone named Cosmic Ghost deleted the only quote on Quotes.Blamed For Being Railroaded and replaced it with a new one, without leaving an edit reason. Both seem fine enough (the old one was a longer version of the current page quote).

A Magnificent Bastard page for The First Law is currently under construction, and there's two possible quotes to apply to it on Sandbox.Magnificent Bastard The First Law

Or

Which do we prefer?

Who You Gonna Call? is a hat trick like Calvinball was of namer, quote^note though it's from the sequel, and image. Gonna post some non-Ghostbusters quotes from the WYGC quotes page. Any seem like worthwhile replacements?

I like the middle two.

I agree there

And despite liking both of those quotes Ravok... I'm gonna say the second one.

I like the Harry Dresden quote. It's simple and direct, gets the point across without ambiguity.

Another vote for Harry Dresden.

On Homeless Pigeon Person - the song is so iconic I think it has to stay, whereas there are a number of people who could be the page image. A quick google turns up a lot of good pictures of the Pigeon Lady from Home Alone.

x5: Vote for Hellboy (2004) quote (though take out trope link)
