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.

Maybe something like "Even assuming both parents carry the necessary recessive traits, the chances of passing them to three children in a row is astronomically low."?

Does anyone think the caption on Rei Ayanami Expy is a bit too spoilery?

[up] If you mean the Cloning division bit, I think people who haven't reached that point in NGE would just assume it's a joke

Having never watched NGE, I assumed it was a joke.

Hoes Mad indeed.

Repeating what's on the picture with "X indeed" sounds like a pretty weak caption IMO. Perhaps a DQ reference or a reference to their reveal with:

"The Hero draws near! And so do the salty fans..."

The caption on Captain Oblivious doesn't really add anything. Should it be done away with?

[up][up][up] We should replace it with something that draws attention to Homer though, because he's not the focus of the image. Ideally I'd prefer a clearer image altogether but we could save it if we also make it self-demonstrating or something ("So intense! Will the vending machine accept Homer's dollar this time?").

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

Is the note on Symbolic Blood's caption necessary? The entire point of the trope is that it isn't actually supposed to be blood, so...

Hi! Is it okay if I remove the sarcastic part from the caption on the Big Entrance page? It feels like a complaint, and I think the caption works without it.

[up] Yes. We can also cut the note as well and a Rhymes on a Dime pothole for the last line, yielding:

Sixty elephants, llamas galore, bears and lions, a brass band and more.

NightmareFuel.Among Us had its caption changed from

to

to

(Yes, they all left the Fridge Horror pothole in after removing the text that made it relevant.)

Is there any compelling reason not to revert it?

The first caption is the only one that works at all. (The second is shoehorned Fan Myopia, the third isn't even correct because one death does not end the game.)

On a related note but probably better for another thread, could we have a version of that image that isn't cropped as tightly?

Just remove the caption entirely. Fridge Horror does not belong on NF anyway.

Weren't we gonna cut that page, anyway?

I'd just delete the caption overall, honestly.

If that page hasn't already been scoured by the NF cleanup thread, it needs to be.

Do y'all think Wonder Woman 1984 has enough longevity to justify using "Life is good, but it can be better!" as the caption on Creator.Pedro Pascal?

Short Tank does the horrible "check, check, check" thing that we are strongly urged to shoot on sight.

EDIT: Checked the page's edit history, and the "check, check, check" was simply added to the earlier caption, so I went ahead and simply reverted it.

Caption ideas for the new pic on Evil Overlooker:

"Crystal ball, crystal ball, who are the puniest heroes of them all?"

"I spy with my wicked eye, a bunch of losers!"

DONE
