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.

I think it does. It shows that Miles is seeing Peter do the thinking pose before copying it himself.

Definitely not; all I see is someone holding a cookie and looking vaguely sad.

ETA: I can make out the cookie not fitting into the glass of milk, which is pretty funny. I still think it's rather weak though.


Is the image for CurbStompBattle.Webcomics too contextless for anyone else? As is it's hard for me to even tell that it's a "battle".

[up][up] Yeah, the cookie not fitting into the glass of milk works but the picture isn't really clear enough.

[up] Indeed pretty hard to tell what's even going on there.

[up] Frieza's cut in half but still alive enough to snarl at someone. I can see that being unclear though he could just be leaning out of a void of dark energy.

I don’t think Mind-Control Eyes really demonstrates the trope. Not enough focus on the actual eyes. I may try to remedy this once a slot is open.

I just feel like it could be clearer. Like it could be mistaken for Mind-Control Device.

Also, I feel like Mind-Control Device and Hypno Trinket would work better switched around. That or just move the current image for Mind-Control Eyes to Mind-Control Device. But we can save that conversation for the thread.

Does it feel like the guy is holding a harmonica in Captivity Harmonica? I missed it the first time I looked at it.

Is Department of Redundancy Department Troper-Made? It looks like a photo a troper took of a Petco product. There's an IP thread dating back to 2011 that proposed a change (which was taken from Shaped Like Itself), but consensus was to keep the current one.

[up][up] We’re allowed to draw some degree of context from the trope name itself, but even without it, I can rather easily discern that the object he’s holding is a harmonica.

[up] Possibly, but it’s more likely a classic case of a funny pic online of indeterminate origin from long ago.

Could ReferencedBy.Pac Man be mistaken for something else? Like just icons on a map?

[up] Frankly that doesn't look like pac-man at all. I don't think it's a good image.

This page about RP Gs has a potentially better example, if you scroll down a bit: https://crpgaddict.blogspot.com/2011/09/ultima-iv-part-2-what-happend-in.html

[up] I personally think it's fine, with the maze structure and Yogi's open mouth, plus the page that it's on clearing up confusion.

I think it's fine too. Not great, so if you have a better suggestion, go ahead and open a thread, but I wouldn't pull it without a replacement.

I'm wondering if we can get a quality upgrade and/or enlargement of Arm Cannon? I find the lefthand character very clear, but the righthand hard to make out (at least, the cannon is clear; the fact that there's also a character there that the cannon is attached to... not so much)

And also, what even is going on in the image of Bizarro Apocalypse?
