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.

Was thinking if Shaking Her Hair Loose needed a before panel showing the hair being compressed to distinguish it from Hair Flip, and figured that since he's wearing armor, a metal helmet might be inferred (in context, his hair is in a hairnet under said helmet before he shakes it). What about a caption change to "A helmet does nothing for hair volume." to make this clear?

I agree on both counts. The armor might not be clear from first glance and armor doesn't necessarily imply there was previously a helmet.

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

Do we wanna adjust the caption for Film.Leprechaun? It’s basically repeating what’s in the image. Also, I made a suggestion for Series.Only Murders In The Building a while back? Are we good on it?

[up] I'm fine with removing it; it was used as the page quote previously but is just as redundant there.

Thoughts on the caption for Cosmetic Catastrophe? Seems a bit snarky to me.

I think the caption on Cosmetic Catastrophe should be removed.

VideoGame.Touhou Chireiden Subterranean Animism has Up To Eleven as part of the caption, yet the trope is defunct.

Keep or pull? A replacement option I have is "CAUTION!!" as a reference to the final boss.

I propose this image caption for Bald Head of Toughness:

I added it yesterday, heedless of the no-replacing-captions-without-troper-consensus policy, at which point Amathieu 13 undid it. Now, I ask for formal approval of this caption idea.

The current is fine. "Brilliantly" is an odd adjective to describe punching a wall.

I agree the current is fine. Sometimes too many excess words added just for Added Alliterative Appeal just complicates stuff.

Double post but the caption on Absurd Phobia is kind of character-bashy or at least unnecessary and myopic.

Noted horror director John Carpenter. I assume it is referencing The Thing (1982) (where the titular monster is The Assimilator) specifically.
