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 removed the pothole since it wasn't needed. The duplicate image needs a thread, which is probably easiest to just find a different cover for the work page.
I cleaned it up to just the Memetic Mutation pothole. As for the gag caption itself, it's kinda against policy but "It's Morbin' time" is such a huge meme and is so synonymous with the movie that I'm tempted to keep it.
So Mortal Kombat 9 had its caption changed without explanation a few days ago. Originally it was "ROUND TWO! FIGHT!", now it's currently "Fatality lives!"
I honestly prefer the previous one as not only does it come from the series' vernacular of what the announcer says in every main Mortal Kombat game, but it also highlights the fact that the game (officially just titled Mortal Kombat with no number) is, as the pothole indicates, a Continuity Reboot. I've found some proof that "Fatality lives" was a Tag Line being used in marketing, but not a popular or memorable one that caught on with the fans (also kinda feels a bit awkward? I'm not sure the syntax is correct, haha). Thoughts?

Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup threadYeah, that's my preference.
CM Dates; CM Pending; CM DraftsHooked a spinoff crowner for the Foul Ball Pit thread
Kaguya-sama: Love Is War: Referential pothole.
Orcus on His Throne will always be my pet peeve.I got confirmation one removing the chained sinkhole, but not on this.
Absolute destiny... apeachalypse?That can be deleted unless it's something that's used in the work.
I agree, keep the Kawaisa pothole, remove the others.
Suggesting this for Creator.Universal:
It's a Universal picture! (One of their closing Slogans in their early years)
Possibly, though I personally find the current caption funny. May be biased though as I am an AVID editor, so I may more readily be able to hear it in my head.
She/her. Profile pic is by Richard Michael Gomez @StarmansArt. Please watch Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock. https://youtu.be/Vm92JNgPbqkI know their fanfare quite well from autistically watching Logo Joke compilations, but I don't think the rhythm is right in that caption, so it's throwing me off.
Yeah what Jay said.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.I'm gonna do this if nobody objects.
CM Dates; CM Pending; CM DraftsThe Universal films opening rhythm. And yeah, I think the current caption is a little off. In my head it sounds closer to the Star Wars theme.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessI personally dislike captions where it's just attempting to replicate the fanfare through text (for one, to anyone not familiar with the fanfare in question, it doesn't make sense at all), so to the Universal caption suggestion.

@ACW: I'm good with that.
The caption on ComicBook.The Amazing Spider Man 2022 is simply "World Without Love".
The image is the first issue's cover, and that was the subtitle used for the first arc's collected edition. But it feels a bit lacking unless you already know that context...?
to the suggested Universe caption
Art Museum Curator and frequent helper of the Web Original deprecation projectCool! Gonna add it in. Does it need the "Caption suggested" part?
I've added the caption for Arch-Enemy Lit.
Now we just need captions (or different pics) for the following:
CM Dates; CM Pending; CM DraftsI quite like the current caption for ArchEnemy.Western Animation. It's the iconic quote between the two.
The Live Action Films one I could take or leave.
The DCU definitely needs a new one.

Fan-Preferred Couple cleanup threadI actually agree but I know it was suggested it wasn't strong enough to show they are rivals without prior context, which I disagree with myself. But if people think it needs changing I still like the idea of just extending the quote it comes from:
- Megatron: (surprised) Prime!
Optimus Prime: One shall stand, one shall fall.
Megatron: Why throw away your life so recklessly?
Optimus Prime: That's a question you should ask yourself, Megatron.
But honestly I think it's fine the way it is currently.
I like that.
For film, any ideas? Or should we choose a whole new image (Bond-Blofeld)?

The caption for Family Business links to the same page as the page image. Would it be okay to drop the link from the former? On a separate note, the page image is also an issue of duplicate image.

If all else fails, use fire.
