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.

[up] It's a joke about the names of the treasury books, which, according to Word of God, were named ironically.

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

I was doing a quality upgrade on Awesome.Mystery Skulls Animated and also swapped the caption, but I forgot to bring it up here first, so:

Old caption:

Ain't fucking with the past

New caption:

Ain't got no time to waste on bullshit!

Both are lyrics from the video in question; I just replaced it with something that fit the scene depicted better.

[up][up][up] Oh yeah, I remember! With that in mind, is it perhaps too โ€œin-jokeyโ€ for the average person?

I'd like to change the caption on Divine Date. Cupid and Psyche are one of the few Greco-Roman examples where it does end well, as she does go through trials because of it but they famously live happily ever after. Maybe "Not all examples end as well as this one does."?

[up][up] I think it's okay, pending other ideas. The Ladies and Germs bit can be cut though.

Found this on United Passions. Pretty blatant complaining right here.

Is "Everything you heard is true" a reference to the movie itself? We could keep that part if that's the case.

I really don't know. I never really thought of that part that way. Can anyone who watched the movie confirm this?

[up]Done. The new(ish) image on The Ace needs a caption; all I can think of is something like "Legate Lanius is the figurative and literal ace."

WesternAnimation.Heavy Metal may need its caption pulled. No idea on a replacement.

[up] I think it's fine.

Suggestions for a future crowner for Killer Bear Hug:

  • An unbearable back-breaking bind!
  • A bear-ly survivable back-breaking bind!
  • He bear-ly survived that back-breaking bind!
  • "You can't bear this back-breaking bind!"
  • Goku really should've read the reviews for this chiropractor.

The caption on Creator.Danny Trejo only makes sense if you read the page quote first, which puts mobile users at a disadvantage. Should we pull it?

Commander Visor changed the caption of Franchise.Star Wars Expanded Universe from this:

Expanding this galaxy, following in the footsteps of legends.

To this:

The former caption was decided upon in this IP thread. Should I revert, or does the current work better?

Options for Long-Range Fighter for a future crowner.

  • Sometimes good yoga stretches can't prevent chest pains.
  • Proof that practicing yoga isn't effective against excess fat.
  • "Yoga Fi—ARRRGH!"

Thoughts on the caption on Please Keep Your Hat On? The first pothole is fine, but the ones after are likely sinkholes (not counting the note, which also has a relevant pothole in it).
