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.

The caption on Internet Backdraft has "that" potholed to Humans Are Bastards, but I think that a link to Flame Bait or a trope equivalent would be more correct. Thoughts?

Also, is the crowner still going?

The caption on An Ice Suit was recently changed from

She isn't cold in that, she is cold in that.

to

She isn't cold in that, she is cold in that. As for him, he is cold in that, and would prefer to stay that way.

which hurts the wordplay and impact. Do we want to change it back?

Double-posting to note that the new caption is in on Evil Phone and I've hooked a new crowner for the caption for Gamer Chick.

Cosmic Horror Reveal does not have a link to the artist, and I don't think we actually got permission to use it. The person who suggested it said that they couldn't ask since they didn't speak chinese.

The image caption for VideoGame.Pokemon Cafe Mix contains a Running Gag sinkhole (relies on some TVT gag that will confuse readers if standing alone). How are we going to resolve this?

Edit: VideoGame.Pokemon Shuffle too...

The new caption's in and tagged on Gamer Chick.

During the discussion for the caption for the new pic on ShoutOut.Western Animation, someone added a caption. It's cute, but I don't think it works since the anime being referenced isn't what's actually in the shout out. The options in the thread were "If you're looking for the choking, that's in the sequel." and "The end of Pizzangelion." Of those, I lean toward the latter.

Thoughts? Crowner?

Yeah, the latter works.

Also will see about pulling the captions for my previous query once editing comes back, since it was lost due to tech issues.

Edit: Editing is back, so remade my edits.

Is this the thread for proposing image captions as well? Because I propose this be added to the image on Race Lift:

[up] The pic's already potholed to the film; if we add a caption, I'd say it just needs to be something lampshading the changes from ATLA.

That's why I asked. It's only potholed to the show, and not the movie. I proposed a caption for those who won't immediately know from what the live action images are.

The current caption on Hype Aversion is just the URL to the image source. Does anyone have any ideas for a real caption? Or at least a way to format it so it looks better?

I don't really get the caption on What Measure Is a Mook?.
