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.

Unless that unintelligible speech bubble he has on that image says something to describe him as a loner, the pic really doesn't qualify.

Also Batman is iconic as being brooding, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's a loner (informed or otherwise). Even if those two traits frequently overlap, I don't think that's the case in Batman. Sidekicks aside, isn't he a founding member of the Justice League?

I had a hard time figuring out what the woman in Wearing It All Wrong was wearing wrong. (She's using a bra as a bonnet.)

[up]It wasn't obvious to me at first glance too, because the picture is so small, but it didn't take long to figure out. The caption helps too. If anyone has access to the source, it might be worth improving it. First, the picture is 300px wide, so reuploading it at 350px would help. If that's not enough, some part from the left can also be cropped out.

I got it pretty quickly but then I wear bras, so...

I think a closer, better-quality crop would be better, but I can't find one through RGIS.

The text on Beat It by Compulsion is hard to read. Could someone enlarge it? This is the source.

Tried, still looks small. Wouldn't that be better with the following panel, anyway?

Is the pic on Friendly Fandoms JAFAAC to anyone else? All I see is Doomguy holding Isabelle...

[up] I know what it’s about, but the pic doesn’t work- their relationship doesn’t even look friendly.

Yeah. Even with Doomguy and Isabelle specifically, there are way better images to portray them as friends.

The quality's crap, but I think the buildings in the far back look way more dilapidated than the buildings in the front?

The ground is folding up like a piece of paper. Those are the tops of the buildings you're seeing in the back.

It's really crappy quality. I wouldn't have recognized what's happening if I were not familiar with the work.

[up] That's why it's now pending IP. Poor Image: A Glitch In The Matrix. I note that there is also no context that this is a dream or a simulation.

Long Pants - I get what the image is going for but with the daisy dukes it looks like he just has a pair of long-ass boots.

[up][up] Upon closer inspection, turns out that actually is the trope. It's poorly named. But yeah, the image is good.

I agree with the Long Pants assessment. the shorts are very striking.

I feel like the image for Evil Phone is more accurate to Phone Call from the Dead and should probably be moved there.

Why so serious?

It was selected here; Phone Call from the Dead wasn't brought up in the thread.
