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.

[up] I always thought it was a boring caption; [tup] to cutting. Honestly though I'd be happy with a different picture as well.

(Not that it matters but the note in the caption also had a comma at the end instead of a period, which I fixed a while back. Normally I'm not a huge Grammar Nazi but it really bothered me for some reason, lol)

[up][up] Ah, okay, I see it now. Thanks for clearing things up.

[up] I'd put the image through IP if I had a suggestion from a work, but unfortunately I don't.

Either way, footnote has been cut.

[up] Probably for comedic effect as well as to relate to the image's first panel.

It has occurred to me that every name at Yakuza: Like a Dragon's caption has two potholes.

I just realized the caption on Filmed Stage Production doesn't make sense due to being redundant — shouldn't it be "a play filmed for screen"?

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

Also, the caption for TearJerker.Bluey feels redundant.

[up] Agreed, that's basically a "X shows how it's done" caption. [tdown]

[up] Seconding. Plus it feels like a little too gushing (It's a Moments page I know, but still, hyperbolic much?).

ArchEnemy.The DCU & ArchEnemy.Western Animation need better captions IMO.

I got one for ArchEnemy.Web Original:

"And as I set out upon this world...I will make it my mission to destroy everything you love."

[up]As said before I quite like the caption for Western Animation. It is the iconic quote for two iconic Arch Enemies and I don't think we are going to find a better caption.

I agree that the DCU needs a new one. Any suggestions? How aboutt this:

"I'd know that punch anywhere. This is my truest friend and most hated enemy... Hal Jordan."

[tup] to using that for the Web Original caption.

Most of Shimp1995's edits involve changing image captions, as you can see here, here, here and here. I actually prefer the new captions, but changing them without coming to this thread isn't allowed, is it? Should I message them?

I potholed to the comic (Sinestro) and the character pages.

I'll do the one for RWBY later.

Not Quite Dead has had it's caption unilaterally changed. In fairness it wasn't a tagged one but still thought it worth mentioning:
