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.

Whoever came up with the bases caption for Royal Decree deserves a medal. That's glorious.

[up] Speaking of which, calling crowner. Aye, it's pretty clever. [lol]

Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE has a rather problematic caption:

"There appears to have been a fusion accident."

...which implies the franchises involved in the crossover don't mesh well together.

I don't have any replacement ideas at the moment, so...pull?

[up][up][up] Thanks. [tup]

[up] Yeah, that's pretty obtuse. No ideas on a replacement.

Alright, since none were opposed, I've put up the captions for We Will Have Euthanasia in the Future and Ten Little Murder Victims.

For ShoutOut.Comics, how about "Attack of the 50 Foot Superwoman!"?

Any other thoughts on the four I brought up here?

Warm-Hearted Walrus has fanart for the image, but we never added a note to the caption saying that it's fanart. How about this:

Alright, I've put up the captions from #458.

For the latest batch of new pics from the Image Suggestion thread, how about:

[up][up] I like the first two...not completely feeling the third but it's decent enough to work.

EDIT: Hooked a crowner for Ground-Shattering Landing.

I like the first two as well. Especially "You!" Squared.

Also:

  • I finally thought of a possible replacement for the caption in Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE, since I brought it up a while back. Tell me what you guys think:
    "The road to stardom has never been this rough."
  • Calling the current crowner.

How about "Now would not be a good time to play 'This little piggy'" for Hanging by the Fingers?

Maybe not.

Anyway, I support the caption suggestions for Nasty Party, "You!" Squared and Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE.

Got 2 suggestions; the current captions are just the characters' name(s):

  • Webcomics: "[Xykon] seems funny and charming, but believe me, when you see for yourself the depths to which he'll sink—you will never sleep well again."
  • Arrowverse: "Everyone loves a pretty doll."

Does the caption of Disney.One Hundred And One Dalmatians still make sense, even though the TV show it quotes has its own page now?

I've put up the captions for "You!" Squared and Nasty Party, but not Hanging by the Fingers since there was both weak support and a counter-suggestion.

For the image of Monster.Western Animation, for a caption, how about the line, "You know me. Ladykiller."
