Caption Discussion/Repair Thread: Low Tech Spears

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] After one day? That's not enough of a margin.

Someone brought up in the "entries that make you LOL" thread that the caption on Epic Fail's pic is rather overkill and that the pic says it all. I tend to agree; thoughts?

Is this the right place where I could also suggest for captions? Because I have one for Absolute Cleavage with Jennifer Lopez on the image, stating with this:

The dress that launched an image search engine.

One is because I don't know what they mean't about "people commenting about her rear", and I don't know if we're still commenting on that, and two is it feels like a milestone for internet history because without that dress, we possibly wouldn't have image search engines.

Re: Epic Fail

It can be fine without a caption. Either that, or cull the expandable note.

The note is completely redundant. I can live with or without the rest of the caption.

For the current crowner, "She's Simply the Best" is now at 10. That's more than enough, I think.

Yep, that one's closed and the caption's added. A new crowner's hooked for the new pic on Big-Lipped Alligator Moment.

Allegorical Character: Apparently Godzilla is a stand-in for a nuclear bomb but for those who don't know the connection may be hard to draw. Needs a caption IMO.

Can we please remove the note on the caption for Evil Debt Collector? The concept of Toothy Bird is already well known enough that that little attempt at being snarky is kind of unnecessary. It hardly adds anything meaningful to the caption.

Polar Opposite Twins's caption potholes Girl with Psycho Weapon, which isn't listed in the work's page.

Does "Girl Wielding Golf Club" count? If so, then I might need to add that to Tokimeki Memorial...

[up] Itā€™s a stretch, but if the character is using a golf club to bludgeon people to death (especially if itā€™s done more than once) then I could see it applying...might be worth taking to ATT for opinions.

That said, Iā€™m not familiar with Tokimeki Memorial at all, but that seems a bit extreme...is that character really that violent?

[up] - Well, it seems like it's just the threat, and that she doesn't go through with it?

I haven't played it either.

Viacom can do without its current caption. Not only is the apparent joke looking like a Take That!, it also links to a forbidden Nightmare Fuel pagenote  that is being cut after discussing it with the rest of the staff.

Any replacement ideas, or just do without one?

Someone recently added the following caption to the image on Disney.The Black Cauldron (the image itself has been previously chosen on this forum, BTW)

"We're not sure if "masterpiece" is the right word here."

Seems like a case of Complaining About Shows You Dont Like, or even if it isn't, it doesn't add anything to the image.

Thoughts?

The caption on the Needle in a Stack of Needles picture should probably be tweaked to something like "Ok, which 42? Answer: It's the 42nd 42", rather than just keeping the old caption that was copied over.
