HI! If an automated Image Pickin' thread-related PM for a page you are following sent you here, that means the image is being considered for removal. If you would like to vote for/against it, please familiarize yourself with the following guidelines then scroll down to the crowner.
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
- Removing an image that was kept on the page by a previous Moments Images crowner.
- 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 on Moments pages for unreleased works aren't permitted. If you see one, simply pull it, add the IP comment later in this post, and post in the thread to say it's been removed. It doesn't need discussion or a crowner.
- 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. Per the admins, being below the 800px size guideline is not on its own a reason to pull an image.
- 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: is there an Image Pickin' comment? Maybe a previous thread has explained the reasoning for this image, or it's already been included in a previous Moments cleanup crowner. 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 votes at +10 or more and a ratio of at least 2:1 will be pulled.
- After 3 days, anything with votes at +8 or more and a ratio of at least 2:1 will be pulled.
- After 5 days, all remaining crowner items with a positive ratio of at least 2:1 will be pulled, all items below the 2:1 ratio will be kept, and the crowner will be closed.
If a page gets its own Image Pickin' thread while it's on an active Moments crowner, that item will be withdrawn from the crowner.
Crowners on this thread do not count towards the Image Pickin' Special Cases Multiple Threads rule (which applies to "pages that have had three or more IP threads").
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.

Read that and took a look at NightmareFuel.Pixar myself.
- NightmareFuel.Coco: Not scary.
- NightmareFuel.Onward: Just a big green cube; Not scary out of context, barely even scary in context.
- NightmareFuel.Ratatouille: Bluriness and colours make it hard to make out; Overall not scary.
- NightmareFuel.Wall E: Not scary.
In context it's both, honestly. The image looks sweet enough for me.
I'll also defend the Hopper image on Bug's Life because the design is unsettling enough to scare a kid.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
Agreed. I feel like a Game Face, while a bit weak, would still qualify for Nightmare Fuel, the same way Sword Pointing is to Moment of Awesome.

: Honestly, NightmareFuel.Onward is the only one I'd pull, all the rest are good enough.
(Also noting that NightmareFuel.Coco was selected by thread, and NightmareFuel.Wall E was kept by one.)

In regards to the Bug's Life image, "villain looking menacing" cases are more bad images when it's just a regular human/otherwise not innately scary-looking character making an evil face
"It was the best of times, it was the BLURST of times?"Yep, it seems to be suffering the cleanup version of Trope Decay where people take the catchphrase way too literally even when it works.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
Good to keep in mind. That being said, I don't think it's unmerited here, since the pic is just a picture of the villain himself. His design is not scary, he's not doing anything scary, so the pic is not scary.
ETA: I missed your edit in your other comment. I guess it's ultimately subjective then, whether Hopper looks scary or not.

Keep: Heartwarming.Hi Fi Rush

NightmareFuel.Pizza Tower is a good image. The only issue is that its not in the final game. The Noise was originally playable but was removed (though might be added back in later). What’s the policy for this?
Once Upon A Time.
It’s just a bear staring at the man… I feel like it would work better in context.
Awesome.Freddy Fazbears Pizzeria Simulator is listed, even though we tackled it last crowner. The suggestion was a duplicate.
Just a heads up, the crowner says “ Until page 57, comment 1415”, when it actually stops at Comment 1401
.

The link to Funny.Freddy Fazbears Pizzeria Simulator is broken
Fixed. The crowner didn't process it for some reason after I reverted the crowner option because I accidentally blanked it.
Edited by MacronNotes on Feb 28th 2023 at 5:59:00 AM
Macron's notes- Heartwarming.An Adventure In Space And Time: Two characters looking at each other
- Heartwarming.Kid Icarus Uprising: Relies too much of the caption, and it's just Pit looking at the mountains.
- Heartwarming.Goof Troop: Just the characters talking.
- Heartwarming.Oney Plays: Just some text and a deformed Sora that is hard to take it seriously.
- Heartwarming.Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure Steel Ball Run: JAFAAC
- Heartwarming.Casablanca: Iconic moment, but it's still JAFAAC.
- Funny.Kid Icarus Uprising: Difficult to make out what’s humorous.
- Awesome.Kid Icarus Uprising: The crowded image makes it difficult to tell what the characters are doing.
Also it appears that the page for Awesome.Five Nights At Freddys 4 was cut.
