This thread is meant to be a place for people to ask questions and request discussion about existing page images they have concerns about; this can be used to determine if a thread should be made to replace an image.

For example, questions about Just a Face and a Caption concerns, whether a picture requires additional context, whether a picture demonstrates all of the necessary aspects or a trope, or whether a trope better demonstrates a related trope can be asked here.

I don't think Cartwright Curse illustrates. It's about heroes losing their love interests, and Flanders is definitely not who the trope is talking about.

He jumped out the window of the cooling tower to escape the situation.

It's... eh, not super clear.

[up][up] To ignore his coworker flirting with him, he images Patty and Selma shaving, then throws himself off the reactor because he imagined that.

But yeah, it's not clear if you don't know the episode.

[up]It should be merged into one image. I'd also pull the first one.

Does Creepy Doll image well suit the page, especially with text? This feels like an easy fishing spot for images, so I may work on that later.

Eh, I guess it works but I think it should be easy to find a better replacement from a work.

It's actually some weird billboard advertisement apparently.

Maybe it’s just me but I have trouble understanding Masquerade Enforcer’s image because of the style. I don’t see the powers one of the people being attacked by the monster is unleashing. I assume that the person standing is using one of their hands to unleash magic downwards?

[up][up] Yes, I also have trouble seeing what's going on in that image.

edit: nevermind, I should've looked at Page Source first.

[up][up]I think it's quite clear. At least if we can assume that readers would know what a "green day" is. But once you realize it's an album cover, the trope is clear enough.

[up] Even with that in mind, as someone who isn't too familiar with Green Day, I don't get the pic.

I'm not exactly sure what that cover's supposed to be protesting, because it doesn't feel in line with the theme of "American Idiot".

Masquerade Enforcer is unclear.

Hungry Menace seems like it's illustrating the title instead of the trope.

Protest Song seems to me like it's illustrating a different trope, like My Country Tis of Thee That I Sting.

I'd like to apologize for all this.

Is Altar Diplomacy's pic clear enough to convey the trope?
