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.

I don't have a problem with the current caption.
Keet cleanupNeither do I.
(Annoyed grunt)I restored the caption on Stupid Sexy Flanders for now since it was chosen by the he IP thread, and a note says not to remove the caption without starting a new thread.

Keet cleanupThese were brought up on the Removing Complaining Thread: Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, Star Trek: Nemesis, and Bomber Man Act Zero have captions that are criticizing the movies and game respectively.

Also, "Zero" in the Bomberman Act:Zero caption is potholed to Critical Backlash, which is misuse.
Keet cleanupThe caption for ST V is parodying a line from the movie; of those, that's the only one I'd lean toward voting to keep.
Perhaps the Star Trek V example could use the direct quote to make it less of a criticism toward the film.
The meter in the caption for Sub-Trope doesn't quite work right. There is a previous thread where the caption was initially suggested with "plum" instead of "purple", and I don't think that change was discussed at any length.
Another option would be to change the image to make the Winged Unicorn a better-known one-syllable color.
I'd be okay with changing "purple" to "plum".

Should I go ahead and at least remove the captions on the latter two?
For Exactly What It Says on the Tin, I get the idea of the image, but the painting isn't all that recognizable. The caption should be changed to something like this:
Have you seen my comic yet?I dunno, I kinda like the sarcastic edge of the current caption. If I was going to change it, it'd be to something like "Dogs playing poker...huh. I wonder what this one's called?"
My suggestion for Reverse Whodunnit is now up, but when I suggested it, Gosicrystal suggested that the caption should say it's the very beginning of the case and not just The Summation.
Keet cleanupApparently the page quote and image caption for Miracle Star aren't actually from Miracle Star, but instead from The Amazing World of Gumball. Is that alright?

I don't know about that, and The Stinger as well.
Speaking of complainy captions, The Christmas Tree's caption, while true, might count.

Keet cleanupThe Christmas Tree's page looks like it has a lot of complaining on it. Maybe change the caption to the movie's big Aesop, "You always win when you are good," or another quotation?
As the one who suggested it, I think the pic on Contrasting Sequel Antagonist could use a caption.
Keet cleanupCan I offer a suggestion for the the Comic Book section of Card-Carrying Villain?
"For a man who fights for mutant justice, Magneto is a terrible communicator."
The caption on Race Lift also sounds like complaining.
Keet cleanupCaption crowner for the new pic on The Consigliere.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"Thanks, it's hooked.
The12thDoctor made the caption on Puella Magi Madoka Magica a lot wordier back in January 2018. Old caption:
I added that caption: there was no caption before. It was suggested in the IP thread, but failed to get consensus.

Keet cleanupIt looks like the caption for One Game for the Price of Two was changed in late December. I actually like the change, but it's probably something to discuss.
I'd flip that back; the one that's there now reads like a page quote.
I got a laugh out of the current caption so I'm good to leave it.
I dunno, it's fine to me. Anyone else?
