Go To

This thread is dedicated to image suggestions for pages without pics (including those where previous images were pulled by Image Pickin').

Guidelines

  1. Please read How to Pick a Good Image and Just a Face and a Caption before suggesting an image. Additionally, make sure to source the image in your post.
  2. If you have multiple suggestions you'd like to field for a single page, that can merit its own thread. Otherwise, use this thread.
  3. It is recommended that you upload your suggestions as you would like them to be formatted on the page.
  4. A crowner will be generated by a moderator. with suggestions which will be voted on as normal. Crowners will run for up to 7 days.
    • Each crowner will generally contain 12-15 items, but may have up to 20 if there's a backlog of suggestions. Please do not add items to a crowner once it's running.
    • After 3 days, anything with votes at +10 or more and a ratio of at least 2:1 can be added to the page.
    • After 5 days, anything with votes at +7 or more and a ratio of at least 2:1 can be added to the page.
    • After 7 days, all remaining crowner items with a positive ratio of at least 2:1 will be added, all items below the 2:1 ratio will be rejected, and the crowner will be closed.
  5. Suggestions will generally be processed and added to crowners in the order they come into the thread.

Crowners on this thread do not count towards the Image Pickin' Special Cases Multiple Threads rule (which applies to "pages that have had three or more IP threads").

Templates

  • Selected images will be tagged using this template (which goes above the image):

%% crowner link
%% Please do not change or remove without starting a new thread.
  • If one or more previous images on the page were pulled, those forum links should remain on the page as well, but the accompanying templates should be replaced by:
%% Previous image removed per Image Pickin' thread:
  • Captions selected by crowner will be tagged using this template (which goes under the image caption):
%% Caption selected per above crowner. Please don't change or remove without approval from the Caption thread: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1404492079030138900

I was thinking of a nice alternative pic for Country Matters. I thought of these two. What do you think? [1], [2]

[up] That should go in a separate thread, I think, but I like the former suggestion. Straight to the point and amusing.

[up][up] Is UNT supposed to be an acronym for something else, though? If so it'd be misleading to use.

[up][up][up] Eh, my version of Chip's Challenge doesn't have chip saying that. And alternatively, we could use this from Ocarina Of Time, to demonstrate the frictionlessness even better...

I agree that there should be a separate thread for Country Matters as it already has a pic. Just wanted to add that the mug that says "UNT" with a black handle that obviously looks like a C is a great suggestion.

For those not familiar with the movie series, though, how would anyone know about what's being offered to Rambo?

It's been a while since I've followed IP issues, but isn't an image supposed to support the page without needing a caption to explain it?

[up] From Just a Face and a Caption:

The Not Actually JAFAAC:

  • When the image and the caption work as a team, such as in the image for My Greatest Failure, this is frequently the result.

#1717: Feb 12th 2018 at 12:50:43 PM

Ok, I misremembered.

Still, though, I don't see how even with a caption that picture suggested for Trading Bars for Stripes would illustrate the trope. It shows the "Bars" part well enough, but nothing about the Stripes part without the caption having to do all of the heavy lifting.

I would disagree. It does show the "Stripes" part to a degree; that's not just any random person talking to Rambo: his military uniform is a visual cue as well.

It's been five days, so all suggestions with a net positive of 7 or more votes have been added to their respective page.

Evil All Along image suggestion good, it is not. The Senator Palpatine image is just a face with nothing suggesting that he is on the side of good. He's a politician after all. He is not shown doing good deeds that suggest that he may good but turns out to be evil.

Despite showing two images, it's Just A Face And A Caption. Speaking of which, I do have an alternative here:

In fact, with both Palpatine and Hans, perhaps we need something more to the point, i.e. someone who's not explicitly a Villain with Good Publicity.

[up] The thing about Hans is that he is depicted as a hero for you to root for until the plot twist at near the climax where he's revealed to be evil. I think he works as an image due to how the film depicts Hans.

There are other pictures of Hans to show his good nature being a facade of his evil nature. The near kiss scene comes to mind, although I worry it doesn't get the point across.

[up] Nothing short of a GIF could communicate that he pretends to be about to kiss her, deliberately decides not to, and brags about it. Since GIFs are out of the question, so is that scene.

Not that even this comes close to communicating the extent of the evil without the context of this being a (supposedly) medically necessary kiss.
