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.

Also, how do we feel about Funny.The Guardians Of The Galaxy Holiday Special? Is it funny? Should it be cropped differently? How do we feel about the caption?
The Owl House and Coyote Vs Acme are my Roman Empire.

I don't find it particularly funny. Also, no offense, but I think it's better to bring up images that you are sure have an issue instead of asking people if there's something wrong with it.
Macron's notes
I think it's fine (see also Funny.Community for a similar joke) but please use this other thread for second opinions. This one is for pull nominations

Fine. I’ll keep it in mind from now on.
Just a heads up, you also listed several examples without giving a reason why they might be removed here. If you have a reason to nominate them for pulling, you can do so if you wish.
Owl House / Infinity Train / Inside Job Fan
Fixed
You'll probably want to repost it so it's on the next crowner.
I agree that the crop looks much better. Should probably go in the quality thread but I personally prefer that crop to just pulling the image.
Edit: I also agree with Funny.The Guardians Of The Galaxy Holiday Special. Out of context, all I can see is an overly lit up Groot.

"Squid has to go to market. He's had to go to market for as long as he's sucked water."
Agree with Synch's keeps. Also voting to keep...
- TearJerker.The Prince Of Egypt: It only needs a crop.
- Funny.Poohs Grand Adventure: It's okay-ish.
- TearJerker.Poohs Grand Adventure: Weak keep only because it was chosen by thread not that long ago.
NightmareFuel.LA Noire looks too dark to properly decipher what it is to me.

- Funny.Shrek Forever After: The image's shot is too small at wikisize and doesn't work out of context.
- Nightmare Fuel.Scared Shrekless: Just a shot of a character who doesn't look scary at all.
- Heartwarming.The Bad Guys (2022): The image is out-of-focus from the moment in question (alongside Mr. Wolf), relying entirely on the caption to understand it.

A lot of good you did me.
Don't you mean Heartwarming.The Bad Guys 2022?
Unlucky rabbit's foot user
Oh, yeah. I forgot to put the year in the title.
That last one was selected by crowner. I'd keep it, your eye is drawn to it because it's in the middle of the pic, and the distracting elements (Mr. Wolf, Diane) are out-of-focus.
Edited by FernandoLemon on Jan 25th 2023 at 11:44:09 AM
I'd like to apologize for all this.
The framing helps.
(she/her)
Yeah, I agree. I don't think it's JAFAAC because of that. It's a little more than just a face

Funny.Shark Tale: There's nothing funny about the image.
A lot of good you did me.
Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous
A hard to make out picture of some dinosaur's eye.
It's a fish selling sushi. It's an okay image in my opinion, although the caption is pretty crappy.
Oh, is that what that was? I thought it was meant to be a Chinese food place, not Japanese, so I didn't get what the joke was meant to be.
Edited by FernandoLemon on Jan 26th 2023 at 8:20:45 AM
I'd like to apologize for all this.
Meh, just modify the caption to point that out. I would hate for it to come down to "some tropers might not know what sushi bars look like"
(she/her)
There's clearly fish on the menu as well. I am fine with just modifying the caption.
