Caption Discussion/Repair Thread:

Go To

This is the thread to use if you feel that the page image itself is good but the caption needs help.

If you think that both the image and the caption are poor, please make a thread in Image Pickin' for the page, and we'll work on the image and caption both at the same time.

As with other TRS and IP threads, please state your reasons and make your case in your first post. Don't make the other posters spend time trying to pry it out of you.

The captions of Jeffrey Jones is completely tasteless in my opinion with unnecessary pothole of Harsher in Hindsight.

Yeah, the Jeffrey Jones caption should go.

[up][up][up] More of a catchphrase for Charles’ character in the show within the show. It became his catchphrase in reality too.

Fan Disservice's caption was changed without consensus a year ago. I prefer the old one.

Old caption (selected here):

"Victoria's Secret called, they're filing a cease and desist order."

Current caption:

[up] Definitely prefer the old caption.

The caption for Dark Is Not Evil is a mess of chained sinkholes and a note and I don't know if any of them are relevant.

[up][up][up] Reverted. I sent an ignored comment notifier, only to learn that the user had deleted their account months ago. So that's that.

Sometimes I consider changing the caption on Characters.Star Wars The Mandalorian Character Sheet from "I like those odds" to "Loyalty and solidarity are the Way," then moving "I like those odds" to Creator.Pedro Pascal. Would anyone mind if I did it?

I was thinking of changing the image caption of Capitalism Is Bad from its current state:

"Don't ask questions, just consume product and then get excited for next products."

To this line from a George Orwell poem:

"The lord of all, the money-god, who rules us blood and hand and brain."

as I feel it fits the image better?

"The only thing which is certain, is that something will happen".
