Caption Discussion/Repair Thread: Convenient Photograph

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][up] It seems like a cheap shot at ∀ Gundam to me. I'd be fine with removing it.

On Film.Angels In The Outfield, the captions just quote the pictures.

The caption on Hope Spot seems to be abused for a trope quote.

I'm not a fan of the image or the caption.

[up][up] That'd be a better page quote than the current one.

Thoughts on the caption Senor Cornholio added to Sealed with a Kiss? I recall that the thread picking that picture called a caption unnecessary.

[up] I can take it or leave it, assuming the chained sinkhole is fixed.

The caption is pretty much relying on that chained sinkhole for context. I'd kill it.

Those are valid potholes IMO. I don't have a problem with the caption.

See the section on Chained Sinkholes.

I think the caption should go.

I suggested the image on Zero-Effort Boss in my first successful IP thread years ago, but I've never really liked the caption.

The captions on Stupid Sexy Flanders and Big Beautiful Man seem to be written on the assumption that the reader is a straight male.

[up] I'd be ok with pulling both of those captions.

The captions on Weight Woe and Miss Caretaker of Sunohara-sou have a similar problem as the two above.

[up] Those aren't quite as bad, but I'd be good to lose them as well.

[up][up] Those two can definitely be removed with no loss to the page...not quite as certain about the other two pages although it won't bother me if they're gone.

The caption of Got Volunteered could be changed to Who are "we"? which is more grammatically correct - assuming that the current caption isn't from the comic itself.
