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.

I disagree. The walrus was scary enough that IIRC the episode was banned from broadcast for a while.
Just look at the comments on this video.

To me, it doesn't work, at least without context.
NightmareFuel.Mandela Catalogue: The cartoony eyes make it look just too comical to be truly scary.
"Squid has to go to market. He's had to go to market for as long as he's sucked water."
Awesome.Zombieland Double Tap: It appears to be a picture of an armored vehicle, but it’s not really doing anything awesome.
NightmareFuel.TheBobsBurgersMovie: Too dark and unclear as to what's going on out-of-context (they're being buried alive, but you can't tell from the image and the caption needs that context to work).
Hi! :3
- Funny.Seinfeld: Caption-reliant (which is the funny part), without the caption is just a face.
- Funny.Survivor: Same reason above.
- Funny.Kamen Rider Wizard: Same reason above.
- Funny.Black Adam 2022: Same reason above.
- Funny.Lupin III Pilot Film: Poor quality, caption-reliant, and it's unclear what's supposed to be funny.
- Funny.Kingdom Hearts 3 D Dream Drop Distance: Same reason above.
- Funny.Ninotchka: Watermark, and caption-reliant.
- Awesome.Ninotchka: Just a character standing and a caption.

- NightmareFuel.Genesis Band: Looks more goofy than scary
- NightmareFuel.Godspeed You Black Emperor: Just a black-and-white picture of a road; not particularly scary
- NightmareFuel.Insane Clown Posse: Looks more sad than scary
- NightmareFuel.Robert Johnson: Just a picture of a guy smoking a cigarette. No idea what's meant to be scary about it

Literally just Grievous doing a threatening pose. Yes, he is a freaky, skeleton-looking cyborg, but nothing about this shot is particularly nightmare inducing. It's more a Moment of Awesome than anything else.

We forgot my earlier mention for Heartwarming.The Muppets Mayhem, which isn’t very high quality or heartwarming.
The Owl House and Coyote Vs Acme are my Roman Empire.

I don't see where you mentioned it. Can you repost your reasoning so that we can add it to the next crowner?

Okay, it wasn’t me but someone did mention that it was too dark and of a baby in a cage with no context.

Hi! :3
NightmareFuel.The Wolfman 2010: Too dark to make out, and it shows only a hand.
NightmareFuel.No Pixel: A guy looking at a painting.
NightmareFuel.Matilda (1996 Movie folder): Miss Trunchbull with a silly expression that is not even scary.

That was, in fact, changed without discussion.

You think it would be fine to make a thread since it was?
Absolutely, go ahead.
CG for short
NightmareFuel.Beast Wars: Maybe it's the CGI artstyle but it looks more weird than scary (which I can't think of a way it can be remotely frightening in a still image) and I can't exactly make out what's going on in the picture (Is the spider hugging Cheetor?).

Funny.Terminator 2 Judgment Day: Without context, it's just T-1000 looking to a mannequin.

Awesome.Spider Man Across The Spider Verse doesn’t feel very awesome.
The Owl House and Coyote Vs Acme are my Roman Empire.
Somebody added a batch of images to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's moments pages that need to be looked at:
- Awesome.The Legend Of Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom: Spoiler, especially when combined with the caption (specifically it's a screenshot of the final boss's One-Winged Angel form).
- Heartwarming.The Legend Of Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom: Without context, it's just an image of Zelda smiling.
- TearJerker.The Legend Of Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom: Spoiler (specifically it shows King Rauru mourning at the grave of Queen Sonia), also dark and blurry.
Well being funny is part of the definition of narm so I don't think that's an issue by itself.
Please elaborate. Remember that "feeling" awesome/funny/etc is subjective
Just a guy.
Honestly, I'll vote to have Funny.The Legend Of Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom cut since it's just him making a humorous looking expression (that isn't supposed to be funny in context, but horrifying), making it borderline JAFACC,

I made a thread for Heartwarming.The Legend Of Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom because someone suggested an image for it before the current was put up on the page.

Crown Description:
Does the image on Awesome.Forbidden Planet work?
The premise of the image is that the environment is awesome, but I don't know if that works, even having seen the film
