Cleanup: Moments Images Thread (New crowner 23 October 2025):

Go To

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

[up]Ehhhh the eye and the lighting might freak out a small child but maybe it looks creepier animated. I don't remember finding it super scary, or anything in the movie for that matter, barring Realism-Induced Horror that you can't really visualize in a still image.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

The Tearjerker and Heartwarming images for Film.Jacobs Ladder don’t work out of context and the former is a massive spoiler (though the movie is several decades old and the twist does fall under It Was His Sled so that mat be a bit iffy).

Reposting from here to cover as much ground as possible:

There's absolutely nothing in this image that's scary on a visual level unless you're afraid of a red-grey computer grid. Vouching we pull this.

This is honestly a problem with most of the series' NF page images—either they don't illustrate NF on a visual level or they're just unclear (or both)—but I'm opening up a thread for this one because this strikes me as one of the worst.

Heartwarming.The Legend Of Zelda Spirit Tracks

Image is a spoiler and is about a ship than the actual Heartwarming moment (the caption reads "And the shippers went wild!").

Change the caption, but calling it a spoiler is pushing it. We know that Zelda will get her body back, just like how we know that Zelda will get rescued by Link in every other Zelda game. It's like saying an image of Mario rescuing Peach at the end of the game is spoilers.

Out of context, what does the image actually spoil beyond the expected Zelda gets her body back?

  • Funny.Ted is just the protagonists lying on a bed together.
  • Funny.Ted 2 has a very poor quality and only shows a guy dancing on a stage.

[up][up]I agree with this. I only played the game once many moons ago, but given "get her body back" is part of the quest, I would not be surprised that she is not corporeal at one point. Zelda is at its core not a very plot-twisty-trope-subverty type of fantasy.

[down][down]It doesn't even spoil the exact circumstances of her not being corporeal. For all I know this is the prologue.

[up][up]Her ghost is on the game's boxart. I don't think Spirit Tracks being a Cliché Storm is a good enough reason to keep a spoiler image up, especially as it's not in It Was His Sled territory, but if the consensus is to keep it I'll just change the caption.
