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.

I'd cut it, it's only tangentially related.
The Administrivia.Chained Sinkhole needs to be fixed, at least.
Batman: The Animated Series references Darkwing Duck in its caption for no good reason.
Suggestion for Lamprey Mouth: '"Out of the jaws of death" is just an expression.'
ERROR: The current state of the world is unacceptable. Save anyway? YES/NOI've noticed that the caption on Nightmare Fuel.Saw I has been changed twice by different tropers:
Original: Think of it like a reverse bear trap...
Nexohook's change: Think of it like a reverse bear trap, my friend.
ASJ's change: GAME OVER.
I think the original is the best of all these. ASJ's caption in particular has absolutely no relation with what's being shown on the image.
Waiting to have my head disfigured and mounted on a wall.I've cut the caption on Batman: The Animated Series because referential captions are not allowed on work pages.
Also, someboy changed the caption on Lamprey Mouth to "Yikes", which is Word Cruft. I've cut that too for the time being.

Emma Fuhrmann has a caption referencing her role as Cassie Lang in Avengers: Endgame, which is already dated since Cassie was recast. Also, the phrasing is kinda icky. Permission to pull?
regulation pigeonProposing a new caption for Pun-Based Title, since the old one was redundant for simply posting the movie's Tag Line:

These were suggested in the thread for Glasgow Grin but it timed out.
Guess he didn't have any duct tape.
Nothing is as permanent as a temporary solution.
He must have given someone too much cheek.
the caption on The Bikini Bottom Horror is a "Not Making This Up" Disclaimer and a wick to Don't Ask. that's useless, right?

That and, the foremost trope is misused since "Not Making This Up" Disclaimer is in-universe only.
The caption on Comicbook.X Force is simply "Nineties!!!", with a pothole link to The Dark Age Of Comic Books.
Which... might be fair if it was just the 1991 series (and we deleted some exclamation marks), but this is also Comicbook.XForce not Comicbook.XForce1991, (even if that's where the image came from) and there are at least three more post-90s volumes of the comic using that title.
So - do we pull the caption? Change it? Or kick off a wider discussion about page image?
