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.

Mod edit: Before posting here, please check the page source to see if the page has previously been discussed in Image Pickin'. Your question may already have been brought up in a prior thread.

[up] Did you mean that the troper should have created an IP thread to make the change? I’m thinking they should have but likely didn’t. I didn’t see an IP thread about it, but it might have gotten cleared out already.

Should this image be changed back and the troper notified to create an IP thread? I’m not sure about the best approach on this.

[up]Honestly, I'd just leave the current image unless you have a better suggestion. Being a duplicate of an image on another page is a valid reason to change, though the troper really should have started an IP thread.

I'm inclined to leave the image as is, as I don't think it's worth fussing over. It's maybe not a good as the original, but it's not terrible either. And if avoiding image duplication on another page is a legitimate reason to do this, no biggie I guess.

Should a notifier be sent to the troper telling them they need to make an Image Picking thread in future?

Yes, people who change images without discussion need to be sent "image changes" notifiers.

Does Grapple Move look too much like Metronomic Man Mashing? Because that's the only trope I am getting.

At Battle of the Bands the only part relevant to the trope is the small text in the corner.

Hey, do we know the source of the image for Fallen Hero? Is it official or fan art?

Dancing Bear i don't really get — the actual simpsons moment is a completely different joke (homer has a completely off idea of what ballet is and he's disappointed by the reality). is it supposed to be a literal representation of the trope name? if it is then it doesn't really fit either because the bear isn't dancing

I think it's...fine. She's hanging by her knees and one arm and holding up that other girl's entire weight with the other arm. That would be quite hard on your spine and arm IRL. It would be nicer with a crop (and a source) though.

The source is apparently Certain Scientific Railgun S. It's been potholed now.

Jasmine's crown shows Aladdin shows a reflection of Aladdin sneaking up on Jafar so it seems to demonstrate the trope. Not sure how it doesn't.

Ok sure, I've thought the threat has to be completely behind the back, and also the reflection angle and characters behavior made me think something out of context is happening.
