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.
Is They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot misleading?

Hi

I don’t think so, but I think I’d prefer something more concise.
Filthy casual
The image on Toyota Tripwire is funny 'n' all, but would an actual example be better?
(Annoyed grunt)
Nah. I think the implication by itself is illustrated well enough.

Anyone else think the image on TearJerker.Brother Bear is more heartwarming than sad? There are plenty of other images that could work for the Tear Jerker page.

Thread started.
So I was looking at the page image for Not Drawn to Scale, and feeling pretty iffy about it, since it’s about characters not matching up to listed measurements of their size. I think Gamgoori suddenly being bigger is just Your Size May Vary, not this trope.

The Not Drawn to Scale image was originally suggested
for Your Size May Vary. I think the two images should be swapped. Ira Gamagoori's inconsistent size is deliberate, but not explained in-universe.

Cars Without Tires Are Trains ... except the car in the image clearly has tires.
Humankind is like a train. No matter how powerful the locomotive is, it can only travel as fast as its slowest car allows it to.
I think the trope is more about how road vehicles like cars can fit onto tracks with no problem, and the opening paragraph is Example as a Thesis. Cars 2 is another example with tires and others like Oliver & Company don't mention the tires getting shredded. So with that in mind the image works.

It's not JAFAAC because it clearly shows some kind of choice, but it doesn't seem to illustrate the complete trope.
"Choice" is apparent, but "big" and "first" isn't. That was my concern.
I'd like to apologize for all this.

It was pointed out on the Image Links Clean-up thread that the Camp Gay image only shows "camp", not "gay".

That's a pretty bad image. Perhaps a SFW image of a campy person kissing or caressing another guy could work, something similar to the images on Camp Straight, Straight Gay, and Manly Gay.

That’s great!

Is Cleanup Crew clear enough?
Hi
Not to me.
I had to look at the description to get it.
CG for short
I don't think Power Parasite's pic does a good job at getting the point across. Sure it shows the lady gaining the Thing's power (i.e looking like him except lighter skin) and the Thing gets said upon seeing her new form. Since it states the user steals powers, not copy them, IMO the pic doesn't fit that much (it better fits Power Copy).

Here's
◊ the full panel for context. Thing is on the right in all three pics: Rogue kisses him, turns into him, and he "fades away" signified by turning lighter. That's a bit clearer in fullsize because you can see her green glove tearing.

Ooooh, I get it now. The Thing is "fading" away which fits in the whole "getting your powers stolen = powerless". That makes sense, thx!

~Delibirda, you should start an IP thread for Camp Gay, as you suggested it. It illustrates the camp part, but not the gay part.

Come play Character Uplift Game! Have a suggestion though, since people will probably be voting Keep Until Better Image Suggested.
Is Gargle Blaster too reliant on the text? Is it even clear it's that trope and not Can't Hold His Liquor, considering the drink doesn't look like anything out of the ordinary?
I'd like to apologize for all this.
