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.

Streisand Effect's caption changed from this.

Barbra Streisand doesn't want you to see this picture. Well done, Barb!

To this, which doesn't flow well at all.

Barbra Streisand doesn't want you to see this picture. The trope namer herself.

Do we have consensus to Pull the Psycho Lesbian caption?

Someone still need to check on Battle of the Sexes while I'll open a IP forum on a tearjerker page of DARLING in the FRANXX. Edit: Nvm, I'll open up IP page for this movie.

Does the caption on Have a Nice Death seem a bit gushy?

[up] I'm under the impression that Sierra was the Trope Codifier for Have a Nice Death (along the lines of other, not as loved tropes, like Unwinnable by Design), so I think it's appropriate.

ComicBook.The Eternals currently has:

Humanoid beings with cosmic power courtesy of Jack Kirby? Sounds familiar...note 

I guess we could add a 'very' to unchain the two potholes - what about the rest of it?

(I'm never sure about the use of notes to list page image characters in this way, do we have guidelines on that?)

The caption for Sick Episode is a reference to My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic that has nothing to do with the trope or the image (which is from Kim Possible):

Four colds in one TV show? That's an academy record!

[up]Yeah, I feel enough people (including myself) have stated that the Psycho Lesbian caption should go.

Is the caption on Chronicle clear to anyone else? As someone who hasn't seen AKIRA, I don't get it.

More psychic teens, less xylophone.

I believe it's a joke about the soundtrack, but I've seen AKIRA and still had to look it up to confirm.

Lead by composer Shoji Yamashiro, they created an innovative musical sound that reveals the technological and futuristic at war with the traditional and spiritual, tying thematically into the heart of the movie. The score has unique instrumentation: gamelan (an Indonesian orchestra of chimes, gongs, and jugog, a wood xylophone ensemble), guitar, organ, synthesizers and primarily male chorus.

With the Nostalgia Critic falling out of fashion, would anyone mind if I removed the note from the caption on Creator.Mara Wilson?

[up] We shouldn't cut things just for "falling out of fashion", however it is still an unnecessary reference on a creator page. Cut away.

I'd also like to repost my suggested caption for Memes.The Book Of Boba Fett in a place where more people can see it and give feedback: "Bounty or no bounty, you're coming with me... like a Bantha!"
