Caption Discussion/Repair Thread: Muggles Do It Better

Two more comic captions I'd really like to cut:

---

Heroes Reborn: Captain America: "Everything wrong with Heroes Reborn's Captain America in a single image"

Heroes Reborn: "Everything that was wrong with "Heroes Reborn" in a single image, beyond the apparent Youngblood's Disease.^note The very small, white eyes"

---

I'm not exactly a fan of Liefeld's art, but this is blatant complaining - and the same joke twice. Into the trash with them?

At the very least that chained sinkhole needs to be fixed

Easy cut. We don't need complaining captions.

Any thoughts on Carnage Reigns:

Forget "Carnage Rules". This Carnage Reigns!

If you know the character's old "Carnage rules!" catchphrase, it sort of works - but is that too close to Fan Myopia to work for this caption?

I don't mind keeping it.

I'd like to apologize for all this.

Does the caption for Ai Generated Artwork really need the word "controversially" in it?

Welcome to Ideal's World

Probably.

The Revolution Will Not Be Tropeable

I think it’s worth noting. “Controversially” just means that reactions were mixed.

(x5) At least to me it isn't.

(x3) I think it's fine either way personally.

Dino-Riders has simply "That is awesome." as its caption. I don't think it adds anything.

Stories don't tell us monsters exist; we knew that already. They show us that monsters can be trademarked and milked for years.

Agree. Pull it.

I'd like to apologize for all this.

On Creator.Mark Millar, where the image shows him at a signing, wearing a Betty Ford Clinic t-shirt:

Funny, but the implied The Alcoholic gag feels a bit edgy for a caption against a real person/creator.

Ok to keep? Or pull?

I put this caption of Animal Occupation Stereotypes when I suggested the image in this thread

But I want to change the caption with this one below focusing more of the stereotypes instead of the characters:

NightmareFuel.Five Nights At Freddys 2 has a pretty big chained sinkhole in its caption.

"Squid has to go to market. He's had to go to market for as long as he's sucked water."

(x6) I feel it should be cut because it's gushing and I feel it doesn't add anything.

I like yours more personally, though both technically work imo.

I think all the sinkholes can go.

EDIT:(x3) Now that I think of it, I agree with pulling it.

I'd like to pull the Mark Millar gag. It feels a little tasteless.

EDIT: Also I agree with the change for Animal Occupation Stereotypes.

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

@Stalker I approve.

Mega Man X has a referential caption, as does Mega Man X: X.

Monument Valley has yet another tired What Do You Mean, It Wasn't Made on Drugs? joke. The game doesn't have a tagline, so far as I'm aware, so I'd like to suggest one of the following:

Also viable, though I generally lean towards captions that aren't just references to other works.

The Revolution Will Not Be Tropeable

Alternate caption suggestion:

What did you expect when you hired M.C. Escher as an architect?

Pulled the Creator.Mark Millar caption - thanks for the feedback.

Changed the Animal Occupation Stereotypes caption, thanks

So for the new WesternAnimation.Wish 2023, do we wanna stick with the caption “Imagine a place where wishes come true”? Because I was leaning towards “A story a century in the making”, also from the trailer?

The Owl House and Coyote Vs Acme are my Roman Empire.

It would be a lateral change at this point in the marketing cycle

(x3) No problem.

I think either works personally.
