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.

WOOOOOOW
The Kung-Fu Kid caption seems to unnecessarily bash its source. One replacement idea I had was "Sure, he's a karate kid, but it still counts." Or should we do away with the caption entirely?

Maybe it's my own Fan Myopia but I think the caption on Oliver Twist is funny.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
The caption for Mathematician's Answer was changed without discussion from
I prefer the original because the new one a) needlessly drags in an unrelated work and b) undercuts the associated image. The point of the trope is that the answer is both true and useless; suggesting it is not useless kind of defeats the point.

Revert — the reference is too vague, complicates the trope, and is technically a spoiler to boot. Honestly even going without any caption would be better than the current.

On principle, I'd rather blanket-ban cross-referential captions from work pages. It's a good precaution against myopic or irrelevant captions, so they don't have to be debated case-by-case. 90% of the time, those kinds of captions are pretty bad.

WesternAnimation.The Super Mario Bros Movie's caption got changed again without properly opening a caption repair thread. It's also a sinkhole and a reference to another media. Revert (and put an important note not to change the caption no more)? Because this has been something that has been happening to the caption for a while

I support your idea.

The Yggdrasil Cretin
NightmareFuel.Metallica waaay too many potholes. I'd change it into linking just And I Must Scream

Definitely just pothole it to that. That trope is perfect for that song.
Hi
Is it just me, or is the caption for Seinfeld a bit weird? I think it's pointing to the "it's a show about nothing" slant, but that doesn't feel evocative in the page image (a photo of the 4 main characters) and said slant is covered well enough in the page quote.

If all else fails, use fire.

I've no idea what the current is trying to say.
Am I a weirdo?
It's a reference to the whole "no hugging no learning" thing (which looks like it's mentioned in the description). I'd be inclined to just change the whole image to something that better reflects the plot and characters.

The caption on Lucky Star is a chained sinkhole. I'd recommend Kawaiisa.

Kawaisa works

The Crunchyroll subs also render that line of the OP as "Darlin' darlin' freeze", shoumd they take precedent?

I prefer the original

Morbius (2022) has a meme-based quote that was fine before until someone potholed it
I'd also pull the one on Oliver Twist.
Changed Soup of Poverty as discussed, since we had consensus.
I'd like to apologize for all this.
