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.

Closing the crowner as the winners for the two pages are at super-consensus. They're in and tagged.

The caption on Main.Red Riding Hood Replica is effectively the same as the current caption on Little Red Riding Hood (except with an added note).

May I suggest a slight change to better distinguish the caption? And to get rid of the note tags and just make the note part of the main caption. Like so:

Who's afraid of the big bad Grimm? Not her, that's for sure.

Since Grimm are the monsters Ruby and her team fight, I figure Grimm will work in this case.

The caption for Funny.Misery is a The Nostalgia Critic reference that borders on Fan Myopia.

Yeah cut it (also why would a lens burst? Wouldn't it shatter?)

So I can't think of anything right now... meh.

Honestly, I'd probably cut that image. It's just a person's face.

Does anyone else think the caption on Peeling Potatoes is, like... bad? Just, like, not even a joke?

[up][up][up] I think it's supposed to be a Mondegreen of the scene's dialogue, but that's not a good caption. I'd just pull.

[up](x4) I think it's bad too, so I feel it should be pulled.

A suggestion for Absurdly Divided School's caption.

Before: And non-binary students use the white stripe.

After: ...but how the hell are non-binary students supposed to get in?

There are only two doors, after all.

I think the current one is funnier, because the Insane Troll Logic is implied and not outright said.

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

Maybe I'm going color blind, but can the image for https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BlueAndOrangeMorality be changed to show the color orange?

To me, it just looks like two shades of yellow. We have Lawful and Bacon and Eggs Morality... so to speak.

[up] Not really the right thread for that. You probably want this one.

Also, you don't need the URL to link to pages. You just write the pagename in CamelCase: for example, BlueAndOrangeMorality links to Blue-and-Orange Morality.
