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.

Maybe it's because I'm not familiar with Seinfeld, but I don't understand the Sitcom Arch-Nemesis image.

[up] Yeah, who is the nemesis here exactly? You could argue they're each others' nemesis, but I'd still prefer it if it would be one character be the clear nemesis.

Plus, how are you supposed to tell the image is from a sitcom if you don't know Seinfeld.

[up][up][up] It doesn't have to be from a sitcom it just needs to be played for laughs and I think the nemesis being equal is fine but I do agree current image is weak and probably should be pulled as it's not illustrative.

Now that I think about it, it doesn't even look like Jerry is greeting him lol

[up] The "Not so fast, pretty boy!" scene might work as part of a collage but I'm sure there's a single image out there.

I was thinking Timmy Turner's Dad glowering at Dinkleberg out the window could work if only because the expression on Timmy's Dad paired with the apparent perkiness of Dinkleberg kind of gets the relationship dynamic across.

Yeah dinkleberg would probably work well

Is Creepy Crossdresser clear enough on the "crossdresser" part?

[up] If I didn't know, I could mistake him for an actual evil nurse, but the throat kinda gives it away. It's a very subtle hint though.

Even then, I mean, nurses can be male so it's ambiguous either way.

Is Chewing the Scenery really that illustrative? Visual Pun aside the scene in question is really dark and pretty low-quality, and without context I feel like it's impossible to tell that the "scenery" being chewed is the Absorbing Man absorbing the qualities of matter, which would work better for the pun anyway.

Is Kids Play Match Breaker illustrative? Without context, it just looks like a kid is chloroforming a random guy.

It looks like the man with the skates and the woman have some kind of connection that the boy is trying to sabotage.

Does AmazonChaser.Live Action TV's image really demonstrate the trope out of context?

Does anyone else think Goddamn Bats needs a zoom-in? I feel it would help if you could see Link's expression and the enemies in the background a bit easier.

Unusual Hiring Practices image seems hard to read (and I wonder if it illustrates the trope)

It definitely needs a quality upgrade at the very least, it's really blurry.
