Caption Discussion/Repair Thread: Muggles Do It Better

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.

The crowner has one candidate at +10 and nothing else that isn't negative. Isn't that superconsensus?

What's with the caption on Bizaardvark? Unless I'm missing some sort of reference, this just seems like straightforward and frankly useless complaining.

This is an extremely minor nit pick, but the caption for Knight of Cerebus is currently:

Isn't the phrase usually "brush with"? I would also suggest capitalising Death since we are dealing with the Death, but that's even more tweak-y.

"The only thing which is certain, is that something will happen".

Not fond of the caption on NightmareFuel.Dreamworks Animation, just seems generic.

Here is a suggestion I have that might be better.

Dreamworks living up to their name, just not in the way anyone expected...

[up][up] Agreed with the fixes, that phrasing is really awkward.

[up] I'm not a fan of the current, but the suggestion doesn't really make sense to me. Maybe "Sometimes, it's more like Nightmareworks."

Once again, someone changed the caption for WesternAnimation.The Super Mario Bros Movie without permission from this thread. Can we please change it back and emphasize that you have to come here before changing it?

~ Mysticalmagic483 unilaterally changed the image caption on Damsel in Distress from

to a much longer and more complainy one.note 
Peach, maybe try arming yourself with some power-ups next time. Or maybe use your magic or Parasol of Pain to fight back. What about your moves from Smash Bros and Super Mario RPG? Come we have seen you kick his ass in Super Mario 3D World, Super Princess Peach and Super Mario Bros.Wonder. Why don't you try that again? Oh you can't be asked? Ok then, here we go! Time to save your royal butt for the thirtieth time
. Pretty sure I can just revert this, right?

Revert and (if you haven't done so yet) send the offender a Complaining notifier.

Sorry for the double post, but Minibud changed the caption of Conker's Bad Fur Day without a reason given. The old caption was the game's Tagline (and I can't find evidence that the new one is also a tagline, judging by the fact that the troper left the Tagline pothole intact).

Public Service Announcement has a note referencing the Nostalgia Critic that I'm not sure is really needed.

[up] I'm okay with cutting that note off.


Spellfire currently has a very snarky caption. I know it's a bad MTG clone, but I'd still rather cut that.

[up]Agree


Suddenly Ethnicity has one of those overly trivia-filled captions, thoughts on cutting the labelnote at least?

While it didn't much feedback on the thread, I would like to see if it would be possible to add this caption on DrivesLikeCrazy.Western Animation:

Race cars, lasers, aeroplanes. He can crash them all.

While we're on the topic of cutting pointless notes, can I remove the note from Missing Reflection?

The image for Afraid of Clowns currently doesn't have a caption. Perhaps the "Can't sleep, clown will eat me..." quote from the scene in question would work.

It's not locked so I just edited it.

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