Heartwarming Moments, Funny Moments, Moment of Awesome, Awesome Music, Tear Jerker, and Nightmare Fuel subpages tend to attract low-quality and unillustrative images that don't evoke the emotions they should, even if the scenes are examples in context. While it is very easy to pull them, the Image Pickin' forum has trouble finding replacements most of the time, leaving most of these threads to close due to inactivity and take up room while doing so.
In order to free up slots, this thread is designed to handle moments subpages with a single bad image.
This thread is not for:
- Start a thread in the following cases
- Removing an image because you already have an alternative suggestion on hand
- Moments page images that are duplicated somewhere else
- Moments pages with multiple images
- Pages that are on Image Pickin' Special Cases (assuming their status allows it)
- Images that you personally don't find funny/sad/heartwarming/awesome/scary, or can't fully glean the context of, but still have some visual element of the Moment they're supposed to evoke (for example, a messy explosion might still be worth keeping on an Awesome/ page even if you don't understand what's exploding, because of Stuff Blowing Up). Remember that these are YMMV items.
- If the only problem is that it's low-quality, try the quality upgrade thread
first.
- If the problem is that the on-page examples are bad, please see the Moments cleanup thread and the specific Nightmare Fuel cleanup thread.
How it works
- First, have you Failed a Spot Check? Check the page source: maybe a previous thread has explained the reasoning for why it's on the page. You can also go to the Ask for Explanations thread for other opinions.
- Link the page with the image you want examined. Please explain why you think it is a bad image (e.g. JAFAAC, "more funny than scary"). Posts without such reasoning will not be entertained. (You can use the Image Pickin' thread guidelines for reasoning help.) If suggesting multiple pages in a single post, please put them in a bulleted list to ensure that each entry can stand on its own and that they won't be missed when the crowner is made.
- Similar to the Image Suggestion thread, a crowner will be run containing the proposed pulls. Each crowner will run about 15 items at a time and last for 5 days. Please do not add items to a crowner once it's running.
- After 24 hours, anything with 10 or up votes will be pulled.
- After 3 days, anything with 8 or up votes will be pulled.
- After 5 days, anything with a positive ratio of at least 2:1 will be pulled.
- Pulled images will be tagged as such:
%%https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1642193091068711500
%%Please do not add a new image without going through the Image Suggestion thread or starting a new Image Pickin' thread
This does not count towards their thread count.
If you think of a replacement image after an image has been pulled, you can use the Image Suggestion thread or start a new thread for a replacement.
Kept images will be tagged as such:
%% Image kept on page via crowner in the Moments Images Cleanup Thread: [crowner link]
%% https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1642193091068711500
%% Please don't change or remove without starting a new thread.

The Funny Seasons 1 and 3 images are okay to me, but Season 1 could have another panel preceding the moment shown.
You can't escape this monster
Pretty much none of the Xiaolin Showdown moment pages have good images, but I didn't have time to start threads. The Tear Jerker picture isn't sad out of context, the Nightmare Fuel picture isn't scary enough as a static image (in fact, what makes the Sapphire Dragon creepy is its ability to turn people into sapphire statues, not its design), and the Hearwarming image is probably a spoiler. I might start the threads another time, but I want to have some opinions.

I'm mainly a fan of underrated media.
Awesome.Coraline relies on dialogue and is not awesome on its own.
We don't start threads for those anymore, that's what this one's for. Just tell us why each image is bad individually, listed in bullet points, and we'll put them in a crowner to decide if they should be pulled or not.
You can't escape this monster
Okay, I'll reword it.
- TearJerker.Xiaolin Showdown: Not sad out of context and poor quality.
- NightmareFuel.Xiaolin Showdown: Not scary enough, even though the episode itself was scary
- Edit: the Heartwarming image is good enough after all

This thread is just to pull bad moments images. If you have a replacement suggestion, it’s best to make a separate thread for that.

I don't have time to find replacements this month, which is why I curently I just suggest them be pulled.

I ramble about old animation
Moonraker’s NF image needs a good crop, or to be removed entirely, since out of context the dogs don’t look like they are killing her.

This account is now inactive because the actual Fivey (my sheep who I loved dearly) passed away and it feels wrong to use her name anymore.
Honestly, I don't think Heartwarming.Xiaolin Showdown is too spoilery. I know what it's depicting but it's not immediately clear — rather, I more immediately see two dudes who mutually respect each other. It could definitely lose the spoiler in the caption, which can be done through the Caption Repair thread.

The image for the Awesome page for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is dark and hard to make out.

Why waste time when you can see the last sunset last?
~The Living Drawing I can actually make it out fine, but is this better?
Hi
Stark improvement. ![[tup]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Thumbs_up_emoticon_3268.png "[thumb up]"){kind=small}
Swapped as a quality upgrade.

Funny.The Loud House also has consensus, so it should be pulled too.
I'd like to apologize for all this.
Awesome.Rugrats's page image is problematic. Aside from the distracting black borders in the image, it doesn't really work without the caption. Tommy just looks angry here.

Yeah I just found out about this thread on my own when I was wondering why my post wasn't in the image pickin thread anymore. :P

Thomas fans needed! Come join me in the the show's cleanup thread!

TearJerker.Hotel Transylvania is another JAFAAC.
NightmareFuel.Beauty And The Beast 2017 is the “villain looking menacing” type.

Crowner closed. We have officially saved ourselves 40 Image Pickin' threads 
The following images have been saved from perdition and will be tagged as such:

CG for short
- Funny.The Binding Of Isaac: I don't find what's so funny about it, plus this seems more of a weak Nightmare Fuel pic than a Funny moments pic.
It’s a funny facial expression IMO, definitely more funny than scary, and it went through the Suggestions Thread.
Edited by PurpleEyedGuma on Jan 26th 2022 at 2:06:39 PM
Yeah, I would probably vote to keep that.
I've been wondering if this thread should handle pages with previous threads / were chosen by Suggestion crowner, since that came up last time as well. Granted, it is supposed to be the equivalent of a 'thread'... perhaps such pitches should acknowledge it instead ("I know the previous thread said this, but I disagree for the following reasons...)?
Edited by Synchronicity on Jan 26th 2022 at 1:12:21 PM
NightmareFuel.Mario Party DS Anti Piracy is another "image of villain"-type pic.
I'd like to apologize for all this.
Crown Description:
This crowner covers posts from here to here (inclusive) and may run for up to 5 days, depending on voting.
- Vote UP to pull an image; vote DOWN to keep it on the page.
- After 24 hours, anything with +10 or more and a ratio of at least 2:1 will be pulled.
- After 3 days, anything with +8 or more and a ratio of at least 2:1 will be pulled.
- After 5 days, any remaining items with a positive vote and a ratio of at least 2:1 will be pulled, any items below the 2:1 ratio will be kept, and the crowner will be closed.
- If an item has a (CLOSED) note, there is no need to vote on it; the result has already been decided.
- Do not add more items to the crowner once it's running.
Here are some more I found:
