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 captions on A Cat in a Gang of Dogs and Token Enemy Minority feel too similar for such thematically similar images.

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

the caption on Video Game Remake feels odd to me, i'm not sure if it's supposed to imply it's white mage speaking or if it's someone speaking to white mage, but there isn't really a joke to it regardless. since the image already explains itself pretty succinctly, i'm not sure what kind of caption it could have without it feeling redundant.

[up] I'd be fine with removing that.

So somebody added a really long caption to Transformers (2004) that's apparently just a reference to some video that one of the voice actors from the game did a cameo for. It's otherwise completely unrelated to the game, so permission to cut?

Alexei Fomkin‘s caption isn’t really needed, is in Russian (albeit with a translated note), and potholes Tear Jerker in the note in reference to a real person’s death.

Any more votes for King of the Dinosaurs? Or should we put a crowner then?

Characters.RWBY Team RWBY has multiple captions per character, which seems excessive. They're also all quotes when the character bio headers already contain quotes.

I think the third option has consensus across the IP thread and here.

I made a change to the title and will update the OP so pages that have new pics can be listed for reference for caption suggestions.

The hooked crowner needs votes as well.

Doesn't Extendable Arms already have a caption?

The current caption on More Hypnotizable Than He Thinks is a chained pothole to three different web series, and I have no idea why

It's a reference you'd only get if you were a fan of Channel Awesome / TGWTG back in the day.

It should probably just be potholed only to Suburban Knights, which is where the joke was actually made. Todd was the one who said the joke, and Critic, er...was there.

As a CA/TGWTG fan, I say cut it for irrelevancy.

[up][up][up] It does, but frankly I think it's pretty weak in comparison to some of the ones in the crowner.
